Plymouth v Scunny - KO Cup 2nd Leg
jbell1995 replied to jbell1995's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Well the great escape couldn’t be pulled off but that was a really positive night for Plymouth Speedway. Good crowd, track in good shape and there was some very good racing particularly early in the evening and a good team performance from the Gladiators. Everyone contributed to the win. Jacob Hook putting in a lot of laps after heat 15 too to learn more about the track. There’s a real togetherness about this group which is pretty exciting. Get the No. 1 position sorted and this team might just make a few people look silly this season -

I’m happy to do it again Fozzie, I did it at Birmingham away last season for the Glads -

Looks like R/R at #1 for the Gladiator's. Makes perfect sense given the riders could use every bit of track time available to them and it’s unnecessary to bring a guest down given the expenses that would be involved. Will be good to see the team in action tomorrow after a really, really promising night at Oxford on Wednesday -

Bends 3+4 have been widened and banked, home straight has been widened as a result I think -

It is, club confirmed on social media at the start of the week, tapes up at 7pm tomorrow -
Anyone fancy us to overturn this huge deficit? More to the point, anyone know who’s at #1 for the Gladiators tomorrow? Looking forward to seeing how the new track works out tomorrow evening in the company of my fellow Gladiator supporters and the Bar Bandits on Bend 2

Oxford Vs Plymouth BSN group 17/4/24

What a performance from the Gladiators last night. This will be a bit of a shock to those who haven’t given the team a chance this season as you’d think this side are only going to get stronger as the season progresses once the No. 1 position is sorted. I’m used to poor refereeing decisions in football but it’s a real sour taste in the mouth this morning when it would appear Thompson did get past Nicholls on the line for what would’ve been a 45-45 draw and then a superheat -
Sadly because it fits an agenda used by a minority of the people on this platform. Sadly, this minority won't be happy until they see another club fold and close, without realising the knock on effect of such a decision. It would leave an entire region, not just a city/town - the whole of Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Gloucestershire without a team. Just let that sink in for a minute? Millions of people without a team to support, they'd rather that happened than see the Gladiators make a good go at things. I really feel for Mark, he's constantly getting battered from all sides (including by riders from other clubs!) despite doing what he can with what he's got. People are more than entitled to their views I get that, hence why we are on a public forum discussing it however most of the time, it's not constructive, it's not helpful and it's hurtful what people say about the Gladiators.... However, it's us against the world and we're going to embrace that!! "No one likes us, we don't care... We are Plymouth..."

Meeting called off. Unbelievable, fans already travelling. Very poor. Clear with the weather forecast this was always going to happen!! Bang out of order… Oh wait… Plymouth were away? Oh it won’t fit the agenda of most on here, I’ll keep quiet then -
12.4.2024 - Scunny vs Plymouth KOC

I’ve edited it to save confusion. I would argue that it clearly states in the original post this is the fixture on Friday at Scunny and I was clearly mentioning the home fixture in devon -

It’s going to be a tough night for the Gladiators (if this goes ahead!). Coming up against a race ready Pirates. Never the less, the Bar Bandits and many other Gladiators will set off from Devon in a few hours to get behind Garry and the team -

The second leg at Plymouth on Saturday is already postponed until the 20th. No surprise. The weather in Devon has been biblical since the end of last summer, 100’s of mm’s of rain falling monthly. Before those try and blame the Plymouth promotion for that, I quote you what the clerk of the course has said at nearby Newton Abbot Racecourse after they’ve had to cancel their first two meetings with the track having standing water now for a prolonged period of time. There’s no guarantee they will be ready for May 8th but they hope to be fit for racing. Even without the track renovations - this meeting wouldn’t have gone ahead. Mark can’t control the weather. Just the gladiator’s second meeting of the season this. There will be a good level of support from Plymouth there on Friday to get behind the team. -
Just 11 days to go until the first meeting and still no news, doesn't sound promising
