Really don't see what the interest in this meeting is... the league meeting however, will be a much more tasty affair

Correct me if I'm wrong but did the Monarchs not refuse to race this fixture back in May because Wolbert was unavailable? Now he is missing anyway and we have been denied the opportunity to catch up on our league fixtures after the recent rain offs. I'm all for having talented riders in the PL but one of the great things about our league in the past was that 99% of the riders were based in the UK. Now we are moving closer to the farce that is the EL with riders having commitments all over Europe and teams unable to be flexible for rearranged matches. BTW - not sure if DJ Raymondo reads the board but I'm hoping he can play American Idiot by Green Day on Sunday for a friend who hasn't been to Ashfield for a few months.

waist off time this meeting as it is not worth anything , why is this meeting not changed to a worthwhile meeting the bspa should hang their head in shame again we have enough meetings to try and fit in never-mind wasting one on this crap i can't see anyone getting anything out off this and no dought glasgow will make a loss on it as the support will not turn out and spend money on a meeting that counts for nothing we already see that mob far to many times a year as is

So when do we run it, October? If we don't I think they can dock points and you can bet it will be PL ones!!! At the time this fixture was agreed, we didn't have a backlog. It's also possible that nobody else wanted to race on Sunday anyway. Better to get it out the way now

cant dock points as its not a league meeting , point is this should be changed to a league meeting or scottish cup /not a meeting that means nothing at all why should the riders risk their lives for a meeting that dont mean anything ,,, another reason this sport is dying on its feet the sport is run by people who are only interested in lining their pockets example !!! what happened to the super duper new silencer riders had to pay £250 for them now they dont need them amateurs or what

Good point, grasscutter. I really enjoy the SWC and if having to chose between a pointless PT match or watch a high quality meeting with a big crowd - all from my comfy sofa...........easy choice!

I must admit...... while beforehand I was with the other posters who were asking "What's the Point?" about today's meeting, there is nevertheless a feeling which is quite pleasurable when the Tigers hump the Monarchs, regardless of the circumstances or importance of the match.
