No idea but it was common knowledge that we were not participating. They have now explained why and I can see why they have made there decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They also said lack of available dates and the weather, what they mean is they don't want the expense of running a meeting which there is little interest in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You seem to know all the answers so why ask ?. You are making assumptions and have your opinions and others will have their opinions. There statement gave the reason why we pulled out when or why we make the statement is irrelevant it has been made that’s really all there is to it.

Just my opinion, if it had been Poole there would already have been pages of opinions.Their statement in my opinion is excuses not reasons. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

topaz325 1,859 Posted October 20, 2022 1 hour ago, Gazc said: Glasgow statement on the jubilee final. GLASGOW TIGERS WITHDRAW FROM CHAMPIONSHIP JUBILEE October 20, 2022 Glasgow have taken the decision to withdraw from the Championship Jubilee League and will not take part in the planned three-legged final. Club director, Alan Dick, said the following: “Having qualified for the Championship Jubilee League final alongside Leicester and Poole, we have taken the decision to withdraw from the competition. “Following the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September, we suggested that the competition be abandoned as a mark of respect, as to us it didn’t feel right to race in a competition commemorating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee shortly after she had passed away, however, the other two finalists still wished to go ahead with the final, which we respected. “Whilst our season was effectively over on 2 October following our play-off semi-final defeat to Poole, this wasn’t the case for Poole, who were still to race in the KO Cup Final and Championship Grand Final, with the latter being planned for this coming Friday and Saturday. “Given the above, the lack of available dates, and the likely weather between now and the end of the month, we have taken the decision to withdraw from the competition. “We would like to wish Poole and Leicester the best of luck in the final.” The full explanation gives a little bit more credibility to the descion bit still does more damage to the credibility to the sport.

cinderfella 865 Posted October 20, 2022 (edited) One thing no one has mentioned is how 3 riders were injured and had to withdraw from the Monarchs v Tigers group match. Glasgow, who I support, have now made a total farce of the competition and effectively made riders risk their health in meetings that have turned out to be meaningless. I assume it was The Promotion who took the decision to withdraw and were the riders asked their opinions. After all it would have been another 3 pay cheques going into the off season for riders. Guess we'll never know. Edited October 20, 2022 by cinderfella 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
