    Getting him and Etheridge sick tickets for Armadale may prove even more astute. The Dickson era awaits!

    He can't ride Armadale and was a waste of points for a team struggling to win home meetings. Edinburgh get a loan fee for him and Berwick get what appears a big track rider. A good move for both parties.

    Kings Lynn, Ipswich and Leicester are good tracks for the tv viewer? Even Sheffield outside the play offs is usually a bore fest. I gave up my Discovery subscription early this year as the PL meetings they had on were just awful. Watching Doyle win heats at Ipswich half a lap ahead and with many meetings having almost zero passing bar ef's isnt entertaining. Diluting the CL this year is frustrating but moving leagues isnt the solution to it IMO.

    We never saw the best of Starkey when he rode for us previously. Whenever he got some momentum going he was injured again though frustratingly none of the crashes were his fault. He never seems to have gotten over that shocker of a crash in the British Final, also not his fault. On a 4 he should be fine though even he will know GLA won't tolerate poor prep or equipment. He will hold his own at that level though perhaps we need more realistic expectations that he may not be as good as before.

    Brennan had plateaued at Glasgow. He was often absent in the big heats and had a prolonged slump this season where he just looked tired. Perhaps too much travel. He came back to life when Harris took the captaincy from him and he was switched to No2 but he's better than that. I wish him well but don't think you'll find many GLA fans unhappy he's moved on. Replacing Vissing with Flint is perhaps a different story.

    It wont unfortunately, drugs are now so prevalent amongst the under 30's its the minority who dont indulge IMO, and even spans the professional classes. Recreational drugs have replaced alcohol for the younger generations.

    Nowak regularly beat Masters et al in Poland but averaged less than 6 here. Its not always of equivalence what they do elsewhere where tracks are totally different. In a 42 point team you can risk an unknown quantity on a 5 but at 38 every point is a prisoner and needs put to good use.

    When he doesnt gate can he make a pass on an equivalent standard of rider to himself?

    Modern journalism is copy and paste, they never think to question anything or that there may be an ulterior motive. Scotland is littered with them. In this case the information about Harris isn't sourced so may in itself be inaccurate or it may be the authors personal opinion.

    Maybe it was a ploy all along to get a southern CL team closer to his home.

    Likewise, I wish both well, however Douglas can gate, Pickering can't consistently. At a higher level it will be exposed and its points that help riders stay in contention for team places.

    I can't but suppose time will tell.
  13. Can someone ensure Marcin gets a medal, best move he ever made, albeit outwith his control. Dropped in the doodoo, we came out of it smelling like roses with Vad. Be good to enjoy this league success, the last time we slipped towards the abyss from 2012 - 2014 as a result, before the Facenna revolution from 2015.

    Strong top 5 and reserves an afterthought if Berwick can afford it, and him at the same time. Track prep his way and tactical rides at ht5 or 6 on the road!
  15. Very tense meeting but not a classic by any means as the track was prepped hyper slick to cope with some serious rainfall. No grip means next to no passing. The Pijper gamble didn't pay off, too inexperienced on a tricky surface and possibly not 100% fit. Gate 1 was awful most of the night with riders spinning in the deep stuff, and really worked against us in the early heats. Hopefully we can set up a track that suits us for the final as Poole will p1ss themselves to have it as slick as it was tonight.

    It may become a diluted Prem, with the Championship doing the same.

    Give him until June, perhaps July 2024.
  18. Marcin would have made it very interesting and Pijper would have been more on the pace than Complin early on. Good meeting to watch just like the BSN meeting earlier. Updates site has several references to Glasgow riders stealing it on the line, never giving up would be my take. Brennan should be given the No2 race jacket with our recent signing, he's really toiling.

    POOLE 2023

    The Premiership may need Glasgow but Glasgow doesn't need the Premiership IMO. The racing at home is good even against the weaker teams, like Edinburgh. Moving up would mean the nearest team would be Manchester when EDI, Berwick and Redcar are all closer. I've no great interest in what the Premiership does but wish the Championship teams would stick together and not be dictated to by a league the country can longer sustain.
  20. Bomber had the throttle open up scraping the fence in that heat, TB doesn't do that. Still enjoyable tonight with Complin a different rider. Expected more from Schlien.

    Berwick 2023.

    Signing a 7 point rider on a 9.5 average hasnt helped matters. It pushed valuable points away from the lower order and made the team even weaker, though I appreciate there may not have been many options out there.
  22. Would be 31 at that point. Who knows what state UK speedway will be in by then, there is usually always someone looking for riders.

    Does it matter who gets his registration? The rider will dictate where he will be riding.

    Thats the first problem, what the PL owners will want will differ from the CL owners. Sense will go out the window as self interest will dominate.
