H18tory...) in a much stronger league, but they have only won the play off final of a "Beefed Up" National Development League. A watered down lesser product on the previous years Championship; after all what is the point of winning something if the whole product is watered down, getting excited over such a devalued product must surely take the edge off any glory that might be gleaned. Worky may be gone but the glory will always remain of winning the Championship when it meant something not the Championship Light or the NDL + with cash to buy in the talent Never mind if Glasgow take the 30 pieces of silver they can go into the Premiership next year which although "Watered Down" and is on a par with the Championship of last year; then they can have a pop at that and see if they can buy what basically Workington won on merit last year... H18tory... Regards THJ I have no idea what this is about, or what it’s doing in “Glasgow 2019” For me, the 2019 Championship is very similar to 2018 in overall team strength. I can’t see many if indeed any riders having an artificially increased average. Also, it’s a bit sad not to say sick using Workington 2018 as the yardstick for anything. Workington were, after all, serial late, sometimes very late payers - were they not barred from attending the 2017 AGM because they were so far behind with their rider payments? I can’t remember how much Laura Morgan said she lost running the Comets but a figure in excess of half a million comes to mind. I feel sorry for the Workington supporters who must have believed that their winning run would guarantee financial stability, only then to have to face closure. Whatever any feels about Glasgow, it’s owners and it’s promotion, at least you know, win or lose, they pay their way. This is not a sport where anyone can buy success, but not should it be one where you have to sell everything you have to make ends meet. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No dis-respect to him but i have never been impressed any time i saw him albiet he was banging some big scores in towards the end of last season. 1 hour ago, Wee Eck said: I have no idea what this is about, or what it’s doing in “Glasgow 2019” For me, the 2019 Championship is very similar to 2018 in overall team strength.

Honestly It was in reference to a comment made by the expert on all things Glasgow and Speedway about the value of Rasmus Jensen in "this watered down league". On Worky, they never lost as much as Glasgow (ever) however financially the promotion didn't have bottomless pockets. It's well documented on here...
