All of whom are fit and able young men.The only one who might just have been able to avoid conscription is Ulrich but more because of multiple injuries and an inability to keep his machinery in good nick than age Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foamfence 2,917 Posted December 13, 2019 I'm quite surprised at this line-up, I thought Glasgow were ambitious, yet they sign several riders who seem to have seen their best days, I hope the Irn Bru works it's magic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I am also surprised ,but reckon they have got it right.Ambition in speedway is knocked on the head by the powers at be most of the times with their rule book changes from year to year.

It could be because they have signed riders that rode on a track that didn't suit them or that they were carrying injuries. You sign riders hoping that they will improve. We have signed 2 in Jorgensen & Aarnio with the view that they will improve. Similar to what we did in 2019 signing Lambert who struggled at Newcastle, riding on the open spaces at the EWR & getting his confidence back. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Understandable with an uncertain future Craig Cook could ride for Glasgow for the next ten years and not win the same number of trophies as he did in blue and gold. I'm sure he's trying his best for you though despite him not being at the peak of his powers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
