I don't know if Glasgow Speedway pays rent to Allied Ashfield and if they do and it's a peppercorn rent then that's the deal.

Solidmango 188 Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) 38 points to work with in the Championship next year! That’ll be Cook ruled out for Glasgow I’d say. I get the need to see a clear difference in overall quality between the two leagues but feel we could’ve gone with an increase in the Premiership to prevent such a massive drop in the Championship.

Weeyin 1,022 Posted November 14, 2018 Gutted that they have dropped the points limit, Cook brought a feel good factor to Glasgow when he joined and he was a delight to watch, bet the dont bring the admission price down to watch a watered down league. All that will happen is that current middle order riders will demand more as they will in effect become heatleaders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For what it’s worth I don’t believe Cook and a few others should be anywhere near the Championship, There needs to be a definitive gap between the top two leagues and Cook and some others are too good and too expensive for the Championship. i can’t see the entertainment value in some riders crossing the finishing line when others are entering the third bend 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WorkyWorky 201 Posted November 14, 2018 I think the point limit is a step in the right direction. I mean if you REALLY really want to have Cook, you still could have, with the rest of the team being a majority of 2 pointers. It would only water down that kind of team. It makes a more level playing field. A team of 6 pointers was far from watered down at Workington and the racing was fantastic, and looks like it’s the secret (or not so secret) formula! A lot of teams if not all will just be happy to be running, if it cuts down costs and prevents doubling up then so be it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paulco 7,078 Posted November 14, 2018 38 points is a big drop . Will the admission price reflect the difference now between the top two leagues ? Or will we be paying as much , and in some cases more , than the top flight ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect, given all clubs are apparently running at a loss, that there’ll be no reduction in admission prices in any division. It may be there’s a slight increase in the Premiership and no change in the championship? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted November 14, 2018 its good to see a that there will be a gap in performance between the 2 top leagues . premier clubs may now have the right to call theme selves premier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazc 7,098 Posted November 14, 2018 Be interesting to see how we build to 38 points to be fair we struggled to get it right when it was 42.5. Surely the new watered down product means no Cookie , watering it down did not work before it just made in demand average riders more expensive. This in my opinion does nothing to increase crowd levels or standard a massive backward step once again. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jeeezs Jenga you are on fire tonight Cookie will be back at Glasgow the fans love him up there. St Craig of Glasgow. Just means they will have 28 points or so for the other 6 riders. A 6 pointer two 5's and 3 around 4 points. Who says it won't work as your team broke all the traditional team build rules this year and won the treble. You pays your money and you take your chances. After this year who knows how to build a good team. Regards THJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
