Don’t worry normski says we have a team so he must no what it is otherwise he wouldn’t say we have a team so just waiting for him to put it up.

Updates don't have a texter YET but apparently because they can't fill in the gaps, Plymouth don't have a team. 

They appear to have 5 riders plus RR with a doubt about Howarth. 

Who'll sort it first, the rapidly declining updates or the sadly injury ravaged Gladiators. 

Would be a very appropriate time for The Hearse and Pallbearer to arrive and Mark Phillips to lift the lid complete with kevlars, he's probably still faster than a few... Loves big banked tracks

I have some sympathy with Plymouth with the team they are putting out tonight, injuries to Gilkes, Barker and possibly Howarth is hardly their fault, and the Ritchie Worrall situation is down to the rider and nobody else. But how hard havbe the Plymouth promotion tried to book adequate replacements, probably not all that hard to be honest. Very poor from both clubs that no announcement on the two respective sides, and literally nothing from the home side about the teams they are asking their customers to pay good money for, seems they`re happy to get people in first then surprise at the parade.

Would imagine no teams in play offs would be happy to let their riders guest in this Mickey Mouse meeting in case of injuries so maybe not all Plymouth's blame. As an apology for this crap season from the promoters they should let everyone in free anyway - and not just into the car park before Mr Barrie gets over excited

I would “maybe” have taken a wee jaunt down the A1 if I’d known Kye was guesting….. nice lad

Occasionally a “cobbled together” set of riders can produce a good meeting. Fingers crossed as both teams deserve a wee silver lining

Don’t fall for it lewy let’s just me and you have a smile on our faces in a few weeks when Poole don’t win it but then they might win the jubilee thing.also thanks to all our guests tonight but I thought sedgeman was meant to be guesting no loss with than one though.

Oh dear. What has Poole got to do with Screm's post? Btw, we can still win the KOC yet as well. :D:t:

Asigning an average of 5.29, the average GSA of the riders likely to take his place, to r/r gives a combined GSA of 30.65

:shock:

No preview from Bandits as the Gladiators don’t have a team yet and Berwick don’t want to announce riders that aren’t coming, like what Plymouth do for away meetings (Glasgow away being the example). Not blaming Plymouth for not having a team either, been very unlucky with injuries this season, and guests just aren’t interested most of the time. Bad night in store all round really.

Pathetic.  All they have to say is "we have an interesting meeting with the Gladiators, but they are suffering from a host of absentees and we will endeavor to let the fans know their line-up as soon as we can", or something along those lines.  To just ignore the meeting is, as I say, pathetic.

That’s their style at times.George’s Dodds has been very good normally since taking over the role as Press Man though.
