Cerro 190 Posted July 4, 2021 Another point on the board but you're kidding yourself on if its not a concern the way we tail off at the latter end of meetings. 58-32 i make the aggregate score from ht11 onwards in our last 3 away meetings . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. That is exactly, what happened at Redcar, to Eastbourne's benefit. Redcar riders, pretty much, set up as the track is normally and on a greasy heavy surface, they got murdered out of the gate. It did not help, trying to ride normal lines, on the greasy surface. By the time you adjust, to the different conditions, the match could have gone. It often helps the away side, because they come with no pre conceived ideas about the track and take it at face value. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't crunched the numbers and clearly it's risky. We're no strangers to manipulation, is this showing our manager's lack of experience? Hindsight is 20/20 of course, but if we'd swapped Justin for Connor in 8 and targeted a 3-3. Edited July 4, 2021 by Joseq7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Agree wholeheartedly. Well done to the Glasgow fans that did travel. Made themselves heard, well, until Ht10 onwards that is! Do Covid rules not apply to the Scottish folk? Cammi hugging referee Christina Turnbull, neither had a mask on. Those fans on turn1, 8-10 of them...NONE wore masks throughout, despite regular announcements saying otherwise. Downright disrespectful to everyone else. They cant all have immunity, surely? Really enjoyed watching Tom Brennan. His Ht15 effort to keep Ostergaard behind him was superb. Easily Man of the Match, if only for that. NIghtmare journey getting there, 3hrs 30 mins, bloody roadworks. Going home?...2hrs 15 mins, as expected. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could say that neither the team manager nor Mrs team manager nor the owner wear a mask when they are wandering about and fraternising at Ashfield despite the MC consistently insisting that we should, but my conclusion now is that some will and some won't, and those who don't will never understand why we who do will.

Just heard a news snippet this morning that one of the very worse areas for COVID in Europe is Scotland. Says a lot, and probably Glasgow is one of the worse areas in Scotland.

It is a condition of allowing speedway to operate .It says it all over the ticket booking requirements. Its made clear on entry too. I agree, I dont think its necessary in an open environment. If its the difference in being allowed to operate or not, then surely its a no brainer to comply? The 'Im alright Jack' scenario doesnt cut it for me at all. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
