Oh dear. 0 for Hodder then. Not much better for Perry Either and now Harris off form

Hodder and Perry

Glasgow reserves please?

Being tall hasn't been a problem for Mikkel Andersen. He dwarfs his bike.

Both Teams at Full Strength.

All day long. Kid is going to the very top. #TasselsRule

Cooper Rushen for me🏆

They are both good riders, nobody has said Cairns is gp material.

Passing🤣

Why not just make sure both mascots are present at all matches and get them to have a rammy if you can’t break the deadlock? You win by removing the head off the other mascot.

Don’t tell former rider Arthur Brownng

Agree, a very hard final to predict, maybe slightly favour Poole as they seem to be able to "step up" when it matters most, plus Glasgow may not be able to find a reserve guest to score points at home.

I think Poole will do enough at home to see them through the second leg, thats based on Glasgows performances down there so far this season, will Nagel adapt to the track on his first visit, will Tigers reserves be capable of taking points off the home reserves? Intriguing and interesting final.

Expect some baffling and controversial decisions on Wednesday evening...Christina Turnbull is the referee...🙈

My profile photo says it all. #ComeOnYouDons

Ken!

I would imagine Dan T may go Prem only along with Poland / Sweden? I'd think Tigers would want to hold onto Harris & Nagel at all costs. Assuming the points limit doesn't chance, I'd stick with Hodder & Perry*, most clubs will have at least one 2 point reserve, Tigers pair will have a bit of experience over some. While everyone wants stronger reserves, doesn't always mean. ore success, last year Glasgow started with Pijper & Smith didn't make the play-offs. This year Scunthorpe, Oxford & Edinburgh have had at least one strong reserve, while Workington are a lot stronger at the bottom end compared to last year, but had a less successful season. If Glasgow could fit in 6 of this years 7, would mean a powerhouse top 4, but running with 3 reserves! * unless they can sign Cooper Rushen / Jordy Loftus

As an alternative you could award the extra point to the team that has the least number of last places (including non finishers and disqualified riders). Admittedly you would still need to toss a coin or draw lots if that results in a tie but you would with the present system.

Yes who the hell is Ryan gosling ? 😂

Kings Lynn 1985 was when it all started for me the Martin Rogers days, we were the whipping boys of the league without a recognized heat leader in the whole team but crowds as a whole were okay and the excitement of when we would nearly get a win but get clobbered in the final heat. We were that bad Colin Pratt wanted us chucked out of the league, then Bill Barker and Simmo took over, the first season we had a powerhouse team King, Peterson, Davis & Knight four Lynn specialists by the end of the season we were dreadful again. King picked up to many injuries, John Davis was more suited to longtrack than Speedway as he could only ride the boards, Knight did his job and Peterson went from unbeatable round Lynn when he used to visit to terrible when he signed for us. Bill then went with youth and got Loram and Henka Gustaffson in those were my fave days two of the most incredible racers I have ever seen , Bill and Simmo fell out and Bill carried on alone struggling more each season all ending when someone from memory stole all the gate takings at one meeting which was the end for him. I would have been late teens and went every week with one of my best friends, stopped going early 90's when I discovered nightclubs and women but hugely fond memories and have followed the sport from afar (like ten's of thousands of others) ever since.

Surely this is something Phil Morris should be encouraging ?, instead he now seems to be a part of the BSPL and that in itself means being stuck in the same old same old, Phil himself is now part of the problem and not a new broom bringing in new ideas.

I think Poole are favourites , very strong at home and usually do well away , plus have good reserves compared to Glasgow. Glasgow need to keep the deficit to 10 pts as a minimum to keep this tie alive .

Only have to look at the top motorcycle racers in the world in moto gp,moto 2 and 3,all ultra fit and very lean,think someone posted on here hans neilson advice to any young rider wanting to go faster "lose 5lbs"

No for me The recent play off which between RR for a second string and tacticals enabled a team to use the 3 top riders in 20 of 30 heats across the 2 legs doesn't sit well with me
