Glasgow V Oxford Championship - Friday 8 September 2023 - 7.30pm

Another speedway fan bites the dust

[DazS]

you cant fault him for his effort.

[DazS]

these fans need testing before they enter for health reasons. i do hope other fans realise what danger they could be in.

[Steve Shovlar]

Seems to be a more re-occurring incident. Hope the fan is ok.

As for the meeting so far, Tarasenko showing what a world class rider looks like in the U.K. second division. 50 metres clear of Nicholls after having one ride to get his setup worked out.

Was just saying this the other night, at Wolverhampton we had 2 go down in separate incidents. I can't remember a season like it for members of the crowd going down

Might be something to do with the fact that the average age of the fans in the main stand is 157

This is ridiculous. They could have called an ambulance by now, in fact they could have carried him to the GRI in this time. I've grown a beard whilst waiting here.

First thing we would have done is call a county ambulance if the incident warrented it to allow the meeting to continue. We could be looking at a postponement here.

good ride for Jenkins

[Nickinho]

Superb racing by Jenkins, beating Basso

That's in Poland in the UK he averages less than Harris and Basso away from Peterborough. Glasgow will suit him fine but what about Oxford, Poole and Armadale?

Tarasenko has a higher average than Basso in the Prem BOTH home and away.

[Nickinho]

23-19 after Heat 7 after a delay for any Poole fans interested. Tarasenko looks a class act.

[IainB]

Nice to see all his team mates rushing to see how Heeps is 

Eventually

That crash could have been so much worse.

[Steve Shovlar]

Nasty crash there. Hope Pjiper is ok, as well as Heeps.

Boughen looks a very tidy rider. Got a good style. Beaten up in his first but looks a talent and one for the future.

[DazS]

think their young ages helped out there.

[Panthers99]

Ashton not happy with Ace there.....

[tellboy]

Not watching this but a quick question,how did Glasgow manage to get Tarasenko on a 5pt average?He signed for Peterborough on a 5,so naturally thought he would get a higher average for the lower league.

Oh no..... 

Don't bring this up again, you'll upset the rest of the teams!  Don't think anyone really knows, but Glasgow have found a cheeky loophole and made the most of it.

Because the rule was badly written. Common sense would have said 7.5 for Championship but it didn’t. Next Season Poole could sign Zmarzlik and Dudek on 5 averages. But guarantee the rule will be changed this winter. Howling error in the rule book.
