So all roads lead to Glasgow on Sunday at 6pm, when the super strong Tigers take on the Pirates. With Vissing fit but likely to not ride, Glasgow can use riders on form to more than cover. Complin tonight showed what he can do around Ashfield and will probably get 6-7 rides in the first leg. Pirates job is to keep it tight and the last time the two teams met here ended in a two point win to the tigers. However, since then Glasgow have strengthened up with Tarasenko coming in, making them favourites to win the title this year.

But Poole never give up and even coming into the final as underdogs, will fight for every point and try and retain the title. The odds might be stacked but we will fight all the way. Should be a great couple of matches. Bring it on! 

Talking sense for once.

Prepare to get bleached.  Commiserations in advance.

Was dry all day Monday. I work in centre of town was 1 shower about 11ish then sun was out rest of day on Tuesday. Think you must've been asleep. There was clearly a conscious decision (as was mentioned on the bsn commentary) for track and particular starts to be prepared that way.

Given its to be pelting down all week will need some work for Sunday 

It rained quite a few times at the track on Tuesday. A fairly heavy shower at 3pm really threatened the meeting after on off showers all morning.

Track covers would have prevented that damage, Glasgow cannot control the weather but they do have to choice to try and mitigate against it.

I disagree. The track was too wet prior to put track covers down. The base needs to be bone dry for track covers to work otherwise they pull the moisture to the surface.

Rain forecast all day Friday and all day Saturday. Only got Sunday morning and afternoon to get the track raceable. Got to expect another quagmire for this first leg if it goes ahead on Sunday teatime. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday are forecast dry, but I am thinking Glasgow would get a much bigger crowd on a Sunday, and riders will have to adapt to very difficult track conditions. Could well be a repeat of the Oxford meeting racing wise.

Rain is forecast, but not loads by Glasgow standards. The banking helps with drainage too. Of course the ground gets much colder at this time of year, which doesn't make it a lot harder. We'll see.
