Can anyone at the track tonight tell me what time did  heat 1 ,come to tapes
please ??

This rain was forecast all day and in real terms the promoters have got it wrong and Scunny will be happy as they were down to 4 team members and a genuine 2 pt reserve . I’m happy it’s that but think Glasgow missed guanteeing the bonus point

Went off pretty much on time..as said before delay was for mountain falling and treatment etc. Grading maybe bit too long after 7 imo but doubt get much more than another heat done imo

See? Can't win. Call it off? Get pelters. Run it? Get pelters.

The meeting started bang on time. The two minutes for heat 1 went up at 19:28. There was no grading after heat 4. There was a very quick grade after heat 7. Everything else is in the control of the referee. He didn't dither either. There were two stoppages for Scunthorpe riders who hit the deck.

And the Glasgow riders were at tapes first in every heat. Heat 9, Scunthorpe the Scunthorpe riders both appeared on track with 6 seconds on the clock. But somehow the promoters are at fault.

There was no issue with the running of the meeting.

Good meeting unfortunately cut short. Had Mountain not been injured we would have been toiling IMO.

Can't understand Scunny riders gamesmanship in ht9 when the meeting needed pushed on to avoid the rain, they appeared with a few seconds to spare then were slow out again in ht10 but out ok in the remaining heats. Did they really want a rainoff?

Looked like it to me, as been said the only hold up was for the medics to attend to Mountain (hope nothing serious) but that apart the referee pushed things along swiftly until as you say the away team started to cut it fine on appearing on track.

Aye, very odd behaviour.

To speak of the racing, heat 9 was a good one. I thought About was unfortunate to be excluded as all four were pretty much together, but the racing between Allen and Bidding was very good. A few unhappy home fans that Allen caught the back of Claus's bike starting lap four, but I thought it was fine. Claus came across hard.to clamp the inside and he gives it out pretty hard. I think he's big enough to look after himself on that one.

Yeah Claus gives and takes hard racing. Bit of handbags between the 2 at scunny as well mind. Nothing was dirty imo just hard racing

Two talented riders giving it out too each other they did get a bit close for comfort on a couple of occasions, it is these moments you just have to trust each other.

Having seen Ablitt at Ashfield a handful of times now, he's improved greatly than when he was Pooles sacrificial 3 heat lamb. He had Lee well beat until a mistake in bend 2 lap 4 and unlike previous visits where he was about 3/4 of a lap off the pace he was there or there abouts in every heat he was in and was unlucky to not get a rerun at the heat where he was pushed to the fence.
