Blimey what a great effort. Heart goes out to Holder and BWD they will be devastated that they were not able to participate in their team mates triumph.

 

Seriously if they are fit and or even in the country hope they are told they are not welcome.

Aaron summers has been great for glasgow speedway in the last few years. Sad to see fans turn on him after a few bad weeks. We werent good enough as a team in 2017. We get lots of praise but still on a learning curve in lots of respects.

Just saying how it is he has been totally unreliable for the majority of this season.

 

Yes he has been a mainstay the last couple of seasons before this but that counts for little i'm afraid.

 

It is about the here and now not last year or the year before and he is just not scoring what he should. Hardly turning on him it is a performance based sport and he is not doing his job scoring wise.

I'd say that would make sense for both legs tbh

Think he fits for the Boro home leg with the +5% but not for the Foxhall leg

Dont think Summers can take all the blame,since the Berwick incident they all have been inconsistent at various times and the reserves have never really got going all season.Feel for the Promotion though,but you can gaurentee they will sort it out for next year.

When Nike Lunna and Dan Bewley both got injured was the beginning of the end. Both were rarely if ever last at ashfield and were the engine room of the team

The heat leaders are always vulnerable in any team. 2nd strings and reserves win trophies for most teams

[Crump99 4,474]

Think Ulrich showed tonight with a good captains performance that there is still life in him and maybe his inclusion in the team was justified

 

Fair point but the real prize was the play-offs and hopefully better. Panthers fell short of that and that's where much of the criticism of Ostrich came from.

Didn't hear it over the PA but the track staff should have been thanked publicly. The rain beforehand was a killer and it was obvious some riders didn't fancy it but fair dos they gave it a go. Worrals engine failure when on a 5-1 could have been crucial but in the end wasn't. Well done to the 4 regular Panthers riders can see why you won the 4s.

A bad few weeks? A bad few months is the reality. All riders go through difficult spells but this one has been never ending and has been debated several times on here over the summer. Its not personal and hopefully doesnt come across that way, but purely based on performances. Im sure we all thank Aaron for the last few years but a parting of the ways seems highly likely.

Richie's stopage was due to a puncture

Aaron Summers and Richard Lawson hopefully on the way out! FINALLY!

Tigers Top 3 Averages from start to end of season:

 

Aaron Summers: Start 8.57 End 8.00 (-0.57)

Richie Worrall: Start 8.49 End 8.58 (+0.09)

Richard Lawson: Start 8.22 End 8.60 (+0.38)

Lawson never got close to the 9.00 average we thought he would.

Worrall's away average = 8.15 Summers = 7.22 Lawson's = 7.44

Hope with the away averages included we can see why Summers and Lawson's time is up.

I think there are only around half a dozen 8+ away average riders in the whole of the Championship.

 

It really is quite rare so to expect 3 in 1 team would be exceptional.

Yup Summers really let you lot down in the last round of the Cup at Newcastle on 9th October, when he top scored a paid 13 score including a tie clinching 5 -1 in heat 15. Did you conveniently forget that?

 

Hope he get's a move to a club where the fans will appreciate his efforts, rather than being made the scapegoat for a lack of team success at Glasgow this Season.

 

It appears for some Tigers fans, as Billy Ocean would say,: "When the going gets tough the Tigs start moaning"

What a load of garbage.

 

Look at the Championship Top 20 rider averages published in the Speedway Star. Given 10 teams in the Division, it follows that, on average, there will be 2 riders per team. The actual rider representation per team, as published by Top 20 averages in the Star is:-

 

Sheffield 3

Ipswich 3

Edinburgh 3

Glasgow 3 (Worrall / Lawson / Summers)

Newcastle 2

Peterborough 2

Workington 1

Redcar 1

Berwick 1

Scunthorpe 1

 

You keep saying riders should have an away average in excess of 8 points. As before the Star's stats show that, with the exception of a rider having only a handful of rides and out for most of the season, only the top 13 riders in the whole league have an away average of more than 8. So on average that works out at 1 per team and which by your own figures Glasgow have. Even in the "improving on last year's average" stakes, your own analysis shows that Lawson increased his average by 0.34 compared with Worrall whom you heep praise upon only increased his by 0.09 and Lawson's is marginally the higher average.

 

Your 2018 team selection which you've listed on another thread - only one of the riders you've handpicked has an away average of more than 8. So you contradict your own ethos.

 

You say you hope Lawson is on the way out. Maybe better if your posts were! You should stick to chasing Miss Piggy.

Did you read the bit that said several months? Quoting a single meeting over that period of time is neither here nor there but perhaps suits your agenda. Ive been to the majority of home meetings and the summer away trips to witness it for myself. You?
