damosuzuki 696 Posted August 31, 2016 Our final home PL Meeting of the season and a must win if we want the chance to finish above Newcastle. Sheffield look to consolidate their place in the top 6. Must admit I had them a couple of places up the table and they're a quality side throughout with Dimitri, Bates and wildman Liam Garracher sure to entertain. Must admit I'd have been fairly confident about this a month ago, but on the back of two losses and some disappointing individual performances I'm hoping for a win but don't expect it to be a walkover. *My prediction record is crap though and I'll be happy to just have got the date right. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MD 1,319 Posted August 31, 2016 A lot depends on the team order with the new averages. Summers needs away from No1 but will he be replaced by Worrall or Lawson? Also will Lunna and Garcia switch places? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gazc 7,140 Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) I am waiting on the Edinburgh thread starting to give my prediction off two 40 point away wins. Edited August 31, 2016 by Gazc 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiamondGlory 58 Posted August 31, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if Glasgow went 50+ points at home. Sure, Sheffield are a good team with quality riders. But it won't be enough. 54-36 to Glasgow is my prediction. Good luck to both teams, should be a great meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speed ace 64 Posted September 1, 2016 Think this has the potential to be as close a scoreline as the match against Somerset, but would think Glasgow will have the score in their favour. Should be interesting to see how berge does, on a track he knows, given his decent run of form of late. Wonder if Bates can stay on the bike yet and ride Ashfield well. Garrity is always good for a few thrills, and if Steady rides like the way everyone knows he can this should be a decent afternoons entertainment. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think Glasgow's reserves will outscore Sheffields so should be a home win. Our heat leader trio had an off night in the EL tonight, hopefully they and there bikes all ok for sunday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pogo1 288 Posted September 3, 2016 A real tough fixture I believe, Sheffield had a very convincing win against Rye House on Thursday evening and will turn up on Sunday full of confidence, Glasgow must start better and with Lawson back at no one I think they will, Summers back at number five will help him as he has struggled at number one for some reason, I predict a close meeting with Glasgow winning but Sheffield to get a point.

spin king 1,923 Posted September 3, 2016 Would be nice to Sheffield get something out of this meeting, but the team this season has been very inconsistent so I think it could be a bit of a pipe dream. Particularly hoping that Berge has a good meeting against his former team, as he has been a revelation for us this season and along with Garrity been our most consistent performer.

MD 1,319 Posted September 3, 2016 (edited) If Garrity performs as normal at Ashfield he'll be on his arse at least once when leading a race. Narrow home win predicted. Edited September 3, 2016 by MD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
