I doubt Bomber will have anything to say about Glasgow.

I think it will most likely be about the time-line of events between Leicester and Peterborough and how much had been agreed before Bomber was informed.

Isn't it interesting that Stewart Dickson now has Lawson, Cook and Worrall together again in the same team?

But the change couldn't have happened without Bombers agreement. If he doesn't agree to the swap, Peterborough have no replacement for Worrall & Leicester can't sign Cook for Batchelor.

Got to say ace pijpers form has went to pieces 1 point in the ndl for comets today at Kent...he is struggling to complete races & score ...sadly tigers reserves are our biggest problem that said Lee has got a wee bit better paid 8 at berwick for Poole & done well for us against poole tho he knows both tracks  well..

I'd say Ace has been inconsistent this season, exactly what you'd expect from a 16 year old in his first Champ / 2nd NL season!

Must have been an awkward pits area then.

Although I don't think Lawson went to the team lunches on match (meeting) day

Cookie and Richard be at opposite ends of the pits, separate entrances, no heats together lol

With Worrell in the middle I presume.

I don't envy Dickson keeping them on the same page!

Worrell given special dispensation to spend the meetings racing  from the van. 

Not sure who's van though...

I'm guessing that the three mentioned above are all best mates then...

Sadly the 6 and 7 berths have been a problem for a few years as the management seem to go with what they perceive as a strong 1 to 5.

IMO your reserves should be capable of beating their opposite number and even occasionally getting the better of visiting s/s.

Equally you'd hope your reserves pick up points away from home too as Championships are generally won by picking up points on away days.

 

Poole and Oxford seem to be setting the standard as their away results have shown

 

Well said

6 and 7 last year started with Danyon and Connor

Year before Jensen and Connor

Year before Bickley and eventually Connor

Before that was Sarjant and thomas

I wouldn't say the past have been a problem at reserve, I would completely agree that this year it has been a weak spot, but the management went in knowing full well that Ace was in his first year and making his average was the Goal, which he has done. This put all the focus on Lee scoring well at 6.

 

 

Wasn't fair on Lee that putting all the pressure on him to score

I think Lee's big enough and old enough to handle it to be honest.

They get paid for what they are doing.I’m sure pressure to make money is good incentive.
