Any meeting on a European track particularly representing GB is important IMO. This is one of the season's plum fixtures though so why schedule it this weekend when two of our best youngsters were bound to be away? 

This might be a late addition to the SEC calendar I'm not sure. Issue I have is Glasgow (and to lesser extent Poole) are trying to find guests for riders who are scoring above their average. A reverse Eddie Kennet if you will. Seen it said somewhere earlier, but why under our r/r rules are riders below Tom's average only allowed 1 ride? Why couldn't we use basso for 3 of them and ulle get the 1 as he's higher?

If we're not careful we are going to have likes of Brennan, Kemp. Palin, Flint, and others in the next wave coming through who is under 23, unavailable pretty much every weekend from May to October as more and more under 23 under 21 under 18 mickt mouse Events take place in Europe. 

The main Event dates should be fixed and agreed so UK fixtures can be settled but micky mouse should not take precedence over CL fixtures. Especially on Fridays when 8 teams often racing.

While it’s good experience for these young riders,are they going to be out of pocket money wise.? One thing for sure breaking into the big money in Poland is still well beyond them at this stage.

100%

Would have expected a few to be Div 2 regulars by now. 

The Czechs Latvian and Danes though seem to be producing better 18 to 23 though currently. 

But of a catch 22., need Polish experience to develop but can't get in to do so. 

May be a few of them need to drop CL and focus on PL  and European leagues? PL being Monday and Thursday.

My forecast for possilpark now saying pretty constant rain between 3 and 10 :sad:

I'm no weather expert but met office has it dry from 8pm, with heavy rain between 5 and 7pm. I guess how confident there are in the drainage system?

Drainage is as good as any track in the country now but depends which forecast is most accurate!!

You gotta let the Craig Cook thing go Lisa! 

Really annoying that Kemp and Brennan are missing, boooo to the fixture compiler.

Weren't Glasgow also missing Brennan & Basso for their last home meeting?

They seen to race when they have riders missing, but have blank Fridays either side of these fixtures!

6th May - Brennan & Basso missing

13th May - no fixture

20th May - Brennan missing

27th May - no fixture

Yeah interesting that as Poole have no other fixture on 27th, but this U23 thing prob wasn't known at the time of deciding fixture list.

Not in Possilpark, but Drumchapel hasn’t had much so far. A little damp, but not more. Forecast is compressing the rain to 6-7 at the moment.

Hope it stays okay as some Poole fans up there now! Though I think some of them were going for a few days anyway.

Talk to whoever completed the fixture list, not like we can control it

Basso is riding in SGP2 on 27th. Probably also assumed Brennan would get a wildcard as GB u21 champ if he didn't qualify
