Tapeworm 169 Posted June 23, 2018 2 ahead to 7 behind!! Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory again. We won't make the play-offs this year and my big fear is that our new manager won't have the contacts and experience to attract the kind of riders we need to join us next year, willing to travel north of the border, to replace the underperforming chokers in this team. Time to go cap in hand to SD and plead for his return? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They will be as hacked off as the fans are at the performances from some. At least there seems a bit of fight about them tonight. Same old result though. Wonder if some know that was their last ride tonight, they as well as us can see we need freshened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though you can see from the owners point of view that in the three seasons SD picked the team we actually moved further away from winning the league, so its a fair shout for the owners to pick their own team this season. Its their money after all which helps us outperform our crowd size, though they have got the structure and some of the riders oh so wrong. Add to this the track changes and the move to bring in an Assistant Manager were all designed to dilute SD's remit and influence. I dont see them going back or even contemplating it.

Neila 1,159 Posted June 23, 2018 (edited) Good nites speedway, some close fast and hard but not ott riding,and a dead heat,not seen one at a meeting I've been at in 48 years, and some handbags as well, good result for the comets, but sounds like bspa don't want us to ride to the agreed fixture list, for some reason !!

scaramanga 902 Posted June 23, 2018 think riders from both teams worked hard tonight all riders looked like they wanted to race and win even making the track as dusty as Glasgow has been reported to be recently couldn't help them win all joking aside some proper racing tonight few riders getting upset with others after hard moves which most were hard but fair looking at some of the Glasgow riders reactions after races id say there under a bit of pressure from promotion to start performing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well done Boys each and everyone only thing id change to that was we actually though ty got wrong rider we thought it was worrel that almost fenced ty and which way Ritchie went up and pulled vising away suggests he might have known that also Ritchie was limping after ht 15 maybe they got closer than we thought Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
