Skidder1 7,634 Posted October 4, 2021 Great! A relatively meaningless 'test match' when Glasgow's opponents in play-offs and KO Cup are still awaiting fixture dates!!!! 1 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diamonds85 698 Posted October 4, 2021 When is the GB squad for the SON going to be announced!! I imagine Tai, Rob and Dan are all nailed on and Tom as the under 21? But who is going to be in Manchester out of Rob and Dan? Personally I'd go with Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are still waiting to find out who their opponents will be! Similarly they have been waiting since the summer to find out their semi final ko Cup opponents thanks to Birmingham cancelling their fixture with Edinburgh at short notice. Finally the GB meeting is being held on a night that is not their normal or alternative race night. Get a life! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cinderfella 865 Posted October 4, 2021 Considering Glasgow could still have four home matches to race and winter weather coming surely this meeting is a bit pointless. I'm sure Tigers' fans would rather see their team especially when things could get expensive? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I mean presumably the announcement will need to be made before Sunday 10th i.e. 6 days before the event... So some point during the course of this week, the squads may be announced?

Send Bartosz Zmarzlik down to Brough I'm sure many of us Newcastle fans would pay triple to see him just once... I'd love to see how he managed to get around our tight bends Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apologise if I misworded what I meant Teams are not allowed to announce their riders individually - they are submitted to the FIM who then announce them via a press release after the deadline- hence me saying don`t expect to hear anything until a week today.
