Just as a matter of interest, why are Glasgow fans so against Harris?

What was his average at Glasgow compared to what he averaged with other clubs before and after?

Looking back to the bspl archive it looks like Harris started the season 2018 on 8.44 and finished on 7.71

Harris and Basso is using up too many points on two riders IMO, even with "bargain" Vissing on 5.00

If Harris has signed it's a weird signing for himself, doesn't he want a midweek team to facilitate continental weekend options.....?

Purely from a points perspective, I agree! However, nothing official on Glasgow FB page.

For me, the next confirmed signing has got to be Tom Brennan and I would love to see Nowak back next season.

I see your at it on the Birmingham thread also.

They don’t appear to have bitten though you just wanting the attention?.

Add the Redcar thread as well.

Chris Harris won't be at Glasgow.

Glasgow management aren't going to splash out 8.75 points on a rider who let them down drastically just a couple of years ago.

 

14.77 left for 3 riders imo.

Benjamin Basso 8.52

Tom Brennan 6.71

Claus Vissing 5.00

Marcin Nowak 5.00

Just had a thought with Connor now away is Frazer Bowes a realistic target on a 4 average.

Would like to think we are considering this as he progressed nicely last season.

I'm liking this lineup:

Basso

Lawson

Brennan

Vissing 

Nowak

T Pijper

A Pijper

I believe this is <= 40

Think he'd have to be a 5 because has league experience in n poland. I'd have him on that average too tbh

If Harris is indeed back at Glasgow, I am sure he is aware of the strong feeling from Glasgow fans that he let us down last time and management are well aware of fans opinion, however, we have to realise that he came to us thinking that the championship was going to be easy money, and the fact that he was on a guarantee as well, meant he didn't have to put a lot of effort in, however this season he was immense for Berwick and had very few engine failures, so I think Glasgow fans will forgive him if he shows commitment,  however it may take time

Can't really agree with that given he was riding champ with Peterborough the season before

Was he ? Then the guarantee was the problem

As far as I’m concerned, I would put Harris’s previous season with us down as a blip……and would have him back in a heartbeat.

In case the Lawson to Glasgow rumours turn out to be true.

As for Harris as stated by Jaizer I doubt it and it’s not for me.

Nah, just for the entertainment value of a meltdown!

Why?

What does it matter to you? 

Ooooh looks like I touched a nerve lol. However I am sure he is off to Brum. Harris at Glasgow makes no sense in more than one reason. But the possibility of a meltdown is funny. Although if Harris does sign for Glasgow they would be more likely to win at Poole.

Maybe that is our intention

Having a meltdown or winning at Poole?
