BROWN: “TURN UP THE NOISE”

TEAM boss Cami Brown is calling on Glasgow fans to “turn up the noise” at Ashfield. 

The Allied Vehicles Tigers finished top of the Cab Direct Championship after beating Edinburgh.

Now they are preparing for a huge clash with rivals Poole in the MAXICab KO Cup semi-final second leg on Sunday (5pm).

Glasgow need to overturn a 14-point deficit to progress to the final, which they last won in 2016.

Brown wants the red and white army to turn Ashfield into a white-hot atmosphere against the Pirates. 

He said: “We’ve got the best fans in speedway. Those fans can drive us on big time. If they can pack out Ashfield and turn up the noise, it will be an epic occasion. 

“We will need that against Poole in the KO Cup semi-final second leg.

“Poole fans gave our riders, officials and mechanics so much verbal abuse last Wednesday. Now it’s our turn to make Ashfield a wall of noise.

“Dayle Wood received a great deal of abuse for some reason and I had disgusting insults hurled at me about my wife. She was also subjected to dreadful abuse in our league fixture at Poole. 

“Other riders and mechanics were also sworn at in a dreadful manner. 

“This all happened next to the pits. The clerk of the course was aware of the abuse. We have also sent a letter of complaint to the Speedway Control Bureau. 

“Any Poole fan or official who dismisses this should be ashamed of themselves. This shouldn’t be happening in speedway. 

“Fans from other clubs, and even some Poole fans, have commented and got in touch saying they have suffered from the same vile abuse. It needs to be stamped out. 

“Poole have an outstanding record in the sport but this really tarnishes the reputation of a great club.”
