Guest Posted July 4, 2021 Weather appears to finally be behaving itself. A fixture I'm sure both teams have been greatly looking forward to. Should be a cracker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should be a cracker. Drove down from Essex through rain, flooded road etc, now 3 miles from track and weather looking good so looking forward to a good meeting with an Eagles win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On their travels Glasgow seem to be turning into Berwick, eight points up after eleven races and then lose by four. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Three away meetings in a row we've looked in control of things only to fall in a heap in the final few heats Edited July 4, 2021 by Paulco 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ruckerroo 792 Posted July 4, 2021 I dont think ive ever seen 2 sides ride so badly , for 10 races eastbourne bar newman and brennan were atrocious , the last few glasgow bar ulrich fell to bits, another 3 races eastbourne would have pulled away. Piddled down right on start time but glasgow just beat eastbourne like a drum out the starts and it wasnt easy to make ground. Lawson was superb late on and brennan kyboshed sedgeman in 14 leaving a jcb type space for kemp. Ht 15 cook pushed lawson up the bank and ully took the brunt, meanwhile brennan hit the grip right on inner of turn 2 and went past both tigers like they had punctures. Kennett is woefully out of form, wells and sedgeman started brightly for glasgow but folded tamely. Glasgow deserved a point tho. Track wasnt bad considering , im not sure either side are league winners mind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems to be a regular thing for a lot of teams away at the moment, Eastie normally do the same away. Think a fair bit is the wet June weather, seems to catch the home team out more at the start of a meeting as its alien to the norm for them, taking half the meeting to get the track back for the home team to feel comfortable, then being able to bang in the points late on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He might want to consider doubling down in the NL next season so he can feel like a big shot again which seems so important to the man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gazc 7,098 Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) Still confident we can beat most teams over a two legged tie which is we’re it matters. Still disappointing but another point on the road which before the meeting most would have accepted. Edited July 4, 2021 by Gazc 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He likes gathering evidence apparently. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
