Thanks

Extremely disrespectful to the rest of the Plymouth team who made you look a bit silly by getting a point.

Arrogance personified that's Skidder1

Yes respect to the Gladiators. Honestly didn't think they would perform after their 2 meetings against Poole this week. Thats all I could base my opinion on.

Kerr beat Harris, I had the best view in the house

I would concur with that. I was stood next to you, 2 foot past the line Bomber was in front. I would have been very disappointed, if Kerr had not got the verdict.

Doesn't that mean Plymouth get a point, disappointing commentators didn't realise it

Yes, it completely bypassed them both!!

Indeed, Olly Allen, commented that the heat 15 Plymouth 5-1 was ‘too little too late’. Yes, for a win or a draw (and Plymouth might well have had either) – but certainly not in order to go home with what might prove to be a crucial point at final league table time.

As much as I’m not their biggest fan, Nigel and Kelvin would have been all over the fact pre-race that a heat 15 5-1 would send Plymouth home with a league point.

I don’t want to be too harsh on the commentators as they ‘bed-in’, but surely the joint British team manager at least ought to know how the league points scoring system works?

Just catching up on tonight's meeting..one heat in fed up of the Harris lovefest already. They're needing to knock that on head, 2 weeks in a row now.

Agree next week's meeting doesn't strike me as great choice

You'd not have enjoyed Adam Roynon's interview then??

Glasgow fans have a different opinion on Harris to apparently every other team in the UK!! Enjoyed the bit at the end of his interview, that made me chuckle

As long as the Gladiators gel as a team they will get the results home & away.

BUT PLEASE can someone (Mark Phillips?) stop Gary May swapping the reserves race after race. 

It gains nothing putting your weakest reserve in the harder races will just demoralise him. This happened @ Somerset, riders then retired & the replacements were worse!

If a rider is not performing this team should have enough knowledge & knowhow to encourage those riders under performing.

Here's looking forward to the rest of 2022.

In the Berwick meeting, he openly asked if heat 8 was a protected heat. I was a bit surprised he wouldn’t know for sure.

Looked what happened to Jason Edwards, he was given the easier number 7 spot & scored more points than his first meeting. Also didn't hinder Jordan Jenkins racing in the tougher number 6 spot!

Surely a team managers job is to win a meeting, if it means swapping reserves then so be it.
