Plymouth v Glasgow

Didnāt realise this. Gross mismanagement in that case. -
Back in the day riders turned up with bikes strapped to the boot of the car and poor Terry Stone regularly turned up at Rayleigh with dirty bikes seemingly having some sentimental value for the dirt of Bradford, Canterbury, Eastbourne etc. Eventually he took on board the point and eventually turned out for each meeting with spotless bikes, you could eat your dinner off the mudguards. Those were the days because as you said they rode in addition to the main job and it could earn them good additional money. For anyone old enough, after a meeting at Rayleigh the riders all met up at the Blinking Owl Cafe on the A127 and many a supporter joined them. It was a better time for the image of the sport and while the racing may not be as fast and furious as today, it was competitive and young riders were given chances that only todayās youngsters can dream about. Some made it others battled through but you got to see an aspiring young newcomer take on a heat leader and my abiding memory is Rayleigh versus Boston and Ivan Miller a grass track rider beating Arthur Price a heat leader for Boston. Compared to todayās homogenised offering the sport in those days offered opportunity and a chance for success on a level playing field with bikes that were basically the same and anyone old enough will remember riders winning a race on the ātrack spareā. It just would not happen today and more is the pity.

Thank you for confirming the rules š

Iāve no idea, but I have faith the same people responsible for bringing in Tarasenko and Nagel are capable of repeating similar deals. Itās either that, or itās game over. Also, forgot to add that Jason Edwards was a disgrace. 5 points from 8 rides between tonight for us and Friday for Berwick is so far off it, itās an insult. -
Too late to make any changes
-
Too late to sign anyone as more than 75% of fixtures been completed
-
Most will agree itās a different ball game in Poland itās sh*t or bust every race.Wright had really bad crash in Poland not sure if it was last year or the end year before!.You donāt get 2bad meetings you have 2bad rides and you are sitting in the Pits the rest of the season.!!

Think the time changed a few weeks ago
-
Baring injuries you should steam roll the league and play-offs Slater has made you even stronger, Lawson & Cook quality riders in second division , throw in two great UK youngsters and Newman & Kerr decent second strings at championship level you have zero weak links. If Lightcap can start to really get dialled in I would be surprised if you lost any matches in the run in, given problems Glasgow have got with Hagon's confidence gone and struggling to get a replacement for Howarth.
-
Someone will tell me differently, but could they replace Hagon with a 2-pointer and use his extra 1.95 saved and add it to a new rider to replace Howarth?
-
Wright is a solid UK rider given how weak the league is here now days, fifteen years ago plus he would have been a good engine room second string. He is though a rider who will give his all and I think the issue is against higher quality opposition he ends up over riding and crashes , seem to remember he had a bang early doors in Poland last year also.

The only thing Barker wanted to do was to fight Harris.

Hi Guys...are we likely to have some links to this on Sat? i don't have access to HBO Max Really keen to see it...if possible please -
Maybe Garry May had a premonition, that Barker was going to turn back the clock and be the hero of the night !!!! Alas it was never going to happen.
-
Who are they going to get in though ? the cupboard of anyone wanting to come to the UK is absolutely bare.
-
If Charles Wright is riding for Britain this Saturday in the WTC, I believe that practice day is on the Friday. Could it be then that a certain Nicolai Klindt could guest for Redcar ?
-
Congratulations Plymouth, hard luck with the superheat, and thanks from a Poole fan.
-
Difficult to know why Cami Brown is still in a job.
-
What an absolute shambles, 3 riders scoring 33 points, 4 riders only 8.Another waste of space of a guest, Hagon should just retire NOW. Who is picking the guests, Dunderheid Brown ???. Somehow we managed to get the bonus point out of this fiasco.
