Reaction here from GB boss Neil Vatcher...

What a fab day. First time coming thanks to Glasgow Tigers for free tickets. Family of four today with an 8 year old boy and 3 year old girl who where in awe with the noise, the dust, the bikes and the whole atmosphere. Fantastic. Already looking into when we can next come along.... ���
Went to see the Tigers a few weeks ago for the first time and can now say my family are hooked. What a fantastic family night out. It is full of thrills and excitement. So child friendly and really helpful supporters. We havent missed a meeting since and are all getting season tickets next year. Cant recommend it highly enough.
Went last Friday. Was a bit nervous at first with the noise of the bikes and the riders going round the corners! After heat 3, I was well into it! The hospitality from David was fantastic. Loved it, will definitely be back!x
Well this will be my second time going to watch the tigers, had an amazing time last time, we'll and truly hooked. Looking forward to tonight can't wait
We went for the first time last night and the whole family loved it! We managed to get to stand at the start/finish line n my youngest daughter thought it was hilarious to get hit wit the mud. We will definetly be back x
Wanted to share our first ever experience of Speadway. I took my 6 year old daughter last night kind of expecting her to want to leave after 10 minutes as she is really very girly. We LOVED it. Can't wait to come back. We sat next to a lovely couple who were massive tiger fans. They taught us some of the rules and helped us understand what was happening!! We were cheering along with the crowd and the Tigers got three 5's ( which I understand is a great thing) when we were there. Can't wait to come back!!!! We were truly made to feel at home by the life long fans. Thank you for a great night. We will be back really soon.
Myself my son and my brother attended the stadium last night for the first time and WOW !! I can't believe I'm so local and have never been ! It was amazing from start to finish ! Gutted I didn't get the guys name who stood with us and took us onto the pitch to watch a race - you were a fantastic host and a credit to the facility ! We will definitely be back ����
My wife and I returned to the home of the Tigers after a long break away from the stadium.
Having so many hobbies and interests means that we are unable to visit on a more regular basis.
Being back in amongst the action yesterday was a reminder of why we love the speedway. It's fun, noisy, entertaining and family friendly.
Well worth a visit, but be careful where you spectate from. If your like us and enjoy being close to the action, then the start finish line is the place to be. But get there early as it's a popular spot.
O and watch out for grit missiles being flicked from the bikers rear wheels.
Fantastic. The Tigers won yesterday. Yippee.....
My first visit to watch the Tigers at home was 22nd April was so exciting, am so pleased I was able to witness it first hand!!
The Tigers were great to see & the weather was good too. Am planning to come along as often as possible, plus being the first person to buy the brand new shirts, fresh out of the box, a perfect day !!! :-)
My first time ever watching the Glasgow tigers at speedway Had a fantastic night what a great atmosphere, tigers a massive well done to the tigers team !!! The tigers start girls amazing and Rory the tiger definitely got some moves to xxx
Great night at the speedway with my beautiful daughter Nadia, both of us had a great night, fantastic result too.
First time ever at a speedway night and loved it. Great place and surprised to see so many kids there, the entertainment for the kids was great.
As soon as we walked in it was a wow, don't know if I've got the right name but the "tigers den" is smashing place for a refreshment. Facilities all around and toilets easily found, will definitely be back in the very near future.
First meeting of the season and boy am I impressed already - team looks great, some cracking racing on the new track, and the best example of team riding I've seen in a long time with Thomas and Vissing. Excited for the season ahead. If you've not been here yet get yourself along for a great night!
Fantastic first night back at speedwsy. Special thanks to Claus, paul and lewis fir signing my sons plaster cast and to Lewis for giving him his hat. Real family entertainment with kids in mind
Excellent stadium plenty of food bars and toilet facilities you can get a drink there to if you want too if you aren't driving staff are very friendly and it is a lot of fun people should give it a go and you can go to Glasgow tigers website to get I'm formation about fixtures
An amazing family friendly arena. Reasonably priced and always a good show and atmosphere. Will definitely visit again in the future. Suitable for all ages and disabled friendly to. If you have an opportunity to visit and watch and enjoy the racing, you will not be disappointed.
Absolutely brilliant meeting on Saturday evening. This was the 1st time since the 1971 and 1972 seasons I had been and it brought back some happy memories when it was based at Hampden Park. Still remember the names of the team then like Ivan Mauger, Charlie Monk, the Templeton brothers Willie and Dougie, Jim McMillan, and Bobby Beaton to name a few. Will definitely be back to watch. It was made better by the fact the won with a deflated team due to injuries aided by some guest riders.
Thank you for a great night.
Visited with my 10 year old son for the first time last Saturday.Nice family friendly atmosphere with Great racing.
Son loved it and we will definitely be back.
