spin king 1,923 Posted December 31, 2014 As your user name suggests , a certain rider sharing that user name is not going to be top of any Glasgow fans favourite list , even if one of our favourite sons was a Long Eaton rider at the time . Speedway is not run on paper , we know that , that has been proved on numerous occasions . But as things stand we don't look like being in our usual place down in the lower reaches of the table . We are looking forward to the season for a change After reading that the new owners at Glasgow want the club to be the Manchester City of speedway, I wonder whether this could be the last season for Glasgow in the Premier League.

Fenway Bleachers 2,665 Posted December 31, 2014 How about the Facenna raceway, sporting the Paulco pits, baba bar,lioness lights , tyretrax terracing, and George.m. starting Gate. Â Sponsors would be falling over themselves 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I would like to see Elite Speedway up north, I cant see the predominately more southern EL clubs sanctioning it. Mind you, with the their league shrinking, I suppose anything is possible.

mc1874 56 Posted January 1, 2015 Of what I have seen so far, and in no particular order I would say the following look pretty good; Â Glasgow, if the Summers signing comes off then a very strong top 4, with some promising youngsters if Berge and Sarjeant can convert some of that promise into points. Â Peterborough, look solid throughout, the main key is if they can get Adam Roynon back to form and staying fit. Â Edinburgh, you can never ever rule out although if I am honest for once would like to see them struggle as you get a bit fed up with them winning all of the time. Â Sheffield my own team look to be dark horses, and will add to Ipswich and Workington to that category. Â At present don't fancy either Scunthorpe, Redcar, Rye House and Somerset. Â And unable to comment about Berwick, Newcastle and Plymouth until their sides are completed. Â Is it not other teams jobs to beat Edinburgh? I'd like to see them struggle....it comes across as a bit petty to be honest. Â If I'm honest I think we will be in the mix as always this year but Peterborough, Glasgow and possibly Workington could all do well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Rings a bell: "NEW owner Rick Frost has promised Panthers fans that great times lie ahead." (29/8/2008) - we got years of Kenneth Bjerre, no success, the winter of discontent, a messy end with the introduction of supremo Horton and tenuously more of the same for the foreseeable future!

Paulco 7,080 Posted January 1, 2015 Any talk of EL racing north of the border is " pie in the sky " stuff . We dropped out of top flight racing at the end of the 1973 season , and apart from the one big league in 95 , we have remained a 2nd tier club ever since . I don't see that changing any time soon . But you never can tell , with the EL dropping in both standards and numbers , who knows what shape British speedway will take during the rest of this decade . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scaramanga 904 Posted January 1, 2015 i cant see why any team would want to leave the prem to join the elite league unless its for logistical reasons less travel and more local derbys who wants to see the same 2 teams racing every other week and lets face it the elite is not what it was 10 years ago sweedish elite league reserves are pushing for british no 1 places Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
