I dont think ive ever seen 2 sides ride so badly , for 10 races eastbourne bar newman and brennan were atrocious , the last few glasgow bar ulrich fell to bits, another 3 races eastbourne would have pulled away. Piddled down right on start time but glasgow just beat eastbourne like a drum out the starts and it wasnt easy to make ground. Lawson was  superb late on and brennan kyboshed sedgeman in 14 leaving a jcb type space for kemp. Ht 15 cook pushed lawson up the bank

and ully took the brunt, meanwhile brennan hit the grip right on inner of turn 2 and went past both tigers like they had punctures. 
Kennett is woefully out of form, wells and sedgeman started brightly for glasgow but folded tamely. Glasgow deserved a point tho.
Track wasnt bad considering , im not sure either side are league winners mind

 

Agree wholeheartedly. 

Well done to the Glasgow fans that did travel. Made themselves heard, well, until Ht10 onwards that is!

Do Covid rules not apply to the Scottish folk? Cammi hugging referee Christina Turnbull, neither had a mask on. Those fans on turn1, 8-10 of them...NONE wore masks throughout, despite regular announcements saying otherwise. Downright disrespectful to everyone else. They cant all have immunity, surely?

Really enjoyed watching Tom Brennan. His Ht15 effort to keep Ostergaard behind him was superb. Easily Man of the Match, if only for that.

NIghtmare journey getting there, 3hrs 30 mins, bloody roadworks. Going home?...2hrs 15 mins, as expected.

I could say that neither the team manager nor Mrs team manager nor the owner wear a mask when they are wandering about and fraternising at Ashfield despite the MC consistently insisting that we should, but my conclusion now is that some will and some won't, and those who don't will never understand why we who do will.

Just heard a news snippet this morning that one of the very worse areas for COVID  in Europe is Scotland. Says a lot, and probably Glasgow is one of the worse areas in Scotland.

But her citizens are proving more irresponsible, thus spreading it.

That’s a bit harsh the majority are adhering to the rules.

You will always get a minority who won’t all over the Uk.

So a few Glasgow supporters don't wear masks and the whole of Scotland is irresponsible

You don't have to wear masks in the stadium at Sheffield, and it hasn't caused any problem at all

 I not mentioned Glasgow speedway at all. I mentioned Scotland as a whole, and said probably Glasgow is one of the worst areas in Scotland, and actually it is.

Totally irrelevant.

It is a condition of allowing speedway to operate .It says it all over the ticket booking requirements. Its made clear on entry too.

I agree, I dont think its necessary in an open environment. If its the difference in being allowed to operate or not, then surely its a no brainer to comply?

The 'Im alright Jack' scenario doesnt cut it for me at all.

So was Lawson's move on Ostergaard just good hard racing or was it a bit naughty?

Hard racing I think, (it’s not F1 - been out of touch with that, but saw the highlights from Austria, some odd decisions by the stewards regarding ‘incidents’ that in motor bike racing are classified as “racing”).

Footage of Heat 15 now available on the Eastbourne website.

Just had a watch - interesting camera work and commentary! 

[geoff100]

Tried to watch it but the camera work misses the first 2 corners, lawsons gardening is a joke bring back the no getting off the bike rule!

[NeilWatson]

That might have been an exciting race - no way of telling from that footage.

Agree. Awful to watch. 

[Yearbyred]

Decided to watch the footage as a neutral, as others have commented on it.

Should carry a warning about flashing images (and that was just the way it was edited!) 

All the important first bend action missed sadly.

Sorry Cami, but much the disappointment of the home fans, EVERY team that has visited in the League has got a point here…..Poole (1), Glasgow (1) and Edinburgh (3)
