But even if Tuesday is dryish, with all the rain we’ve had and will have, the track will be a state. Well if they did move it to Weds, hopefully Poole move theirs to Friday, which is a lot better for me! Which also would mean riding on each others preferred race night! Lol.

Bagpuss 10,784 Posted October 30, 2021 Glasgow need to hit Poole really hard in the first leg to have a chance but I just cant see it with the Pirate's heat leaders and star reserve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glasgow airport(air side)closes over night, pre departure has seating but only food is Starbucks not sure it is 24 hrs so stock up with sarnies and soup toilets open(you may need if Glasgow performs) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All the team are on good form. We are not carrying anyone and if a rider has a bad meeting, then we have a good reserve. However, Ben Basso has not ridden at Glasgow so will take 2 races to get used to it. I do expect Glasgow to take a lead to Poole. But will it be enough?

But then the biggest firework display will be at Wimborne Road when we PIRATES WIN THE LEAGUE! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looked like had talent when rode for us but seemed to have stagnated. Was on less than 3.75 a few months ago (guested when we needed 75% of Marcin's 5.00) so to have got up to 5.00 in couple months going in right direction Surely Jack Thomas being a 2star Rising Star can still guest for Stefan Neilsen (4.79) on Tuesday, no matter what his 'real' average might be?!

Nope as he's not replacing a rising star. His actual average comes into play for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Basso only needed one race at Leicester to assess the track after that he was superb. Hume also had a great meeting there but I have a feeling he may struggle at Glasgow.
