Sad to watch a former world champion struggle to beat 2nd tier second strings and reserves . We had that with Les Collins in his final season , it is hard to watch 

I stood and listened to his interview at the end of the meeting. He mentioned that whilst not wanting to make excuses he had had problems with his clutch plates all night with them burning out in his last ride resulting in him touching the tapes. He basically praised what has gone on at Glasgow in recent years in respect of the stadium and track and also publicly thanked Craig Cook who is going to lend him clutch plates for tomorrow at Berwick.

Really enjoyed the meeting, as others have said some good hard fast racing and it looks so much better under lights. I hope that any future Sunday meetings are held at 6pm rather than 3pm.

Superb meeting tonight, Plymouth's fast starting lower order meant Glasgow had to overhaul them which made it great to watch heat after heat. Ruml worked out how to ride the fast line in ht14 and was gradually reeling in Nowak who had a superb debut, much more to come from him.

The only down side was the referee letting the 2 minutes run out and riders still fannying about at the tapes a minute later. Its nonsense like that that ruins the sport and puts people off. Its 2 minutes for a reason.

Not how the 2 minute rule works in Britain. The rule is you have to be under power, on the track and on your way to the tapes

The digging at the starts is the worst part of the sport for me and the worst one at it was missing tonight,up to the start man instead of standing with arms behind their backs get the riders up to tapes .once the 2 mins is on are they supposed to be at tapes ready to go?.

I believe the wording in the UK is making forward momentum on the track. Afterwards I believe the referees option is to exclude for delaying the start, something the grand monarch is usually pretty good at

Ohh right I see, must have just been me personally they had blocked then. Strange the web browser clearly stated ‘users in England’ when I went to buy the pass. Still though, I’ll bow to your clearly superior knowledge on the subject :D.

Be interesting to hear from any Plymouth fans that may have bought the stream or if they had the same issue.

it’s a strange one if you had a VPN you could have changed your location.

E Mail the club and ask the question at least you will get a definitive answer rather than asking on here as nobody really knows the reason on here.

I stand corrected, there was an issue but it wasn't deliberate as you imply, just a fault from the stream provider, not a deliberate ploy by the club. If you look at the error, fairly obvious it's football related which is QTVs bread and butter.

You can always purchase it now if you haven't already. OK you know the result but being a Speedway fan I'm sure you would really enjoy it.
