Correct. Most criticism seems to come from non Glasgow fans or those that can only seem to remember his last meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barabas 69 Posted July 27, 2023 I think tigers will edge this at home even with hagon & coles strangely enough lee had his best meeting at ashfield last time out ,for me he looked quicker than his usual so we could have done with him in this & im a ctitic of lee, just not sure about coles replacing lee but the numbers we are hampered ,sam hagon is about same standard as ace so not much difference there but obviously ace knows ashfield track better tho sam has been recently , anyway will be a good meeting not much in it if tigers can get claus back in points then a narrow home win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noelinho 922 Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Claus has been great, though a bit of bike trouble recently and does have a propensity to take a rider’s wheel with him when he passes, which some refs don’t seem to like. Edited July 27, 2023 by Noelinho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone will no doubt clarify. *Edit sorry misread it's early I think Glasgow get the facility due to the "extenuating circumstances " his wedding being scheduled on a day when there wasn't meant to be a meeting. The 25% below the absent riders CMA is only when no facility is granted (pages 99 and 119 for those who care ) Edited July 28, 2023 by Cast1rn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SharpenRake 1,505 Posted July 28, 2023 I have to say that when I think we'll lose we somehow manage to win. I think we'll lose on Sunday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barabas 69 Posted July 28, 2023 So glasgow could have got Jacob hook James Pearson Joe Thomson instead of coles hmmm...I personally would prefer any of those riders if I'm honest but i wish connor well & hope he gets a few points, 2 guests at reserve isn't ideal but it is what it is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They got guests with an average of 25% less than the riders they replaced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And a wedding may just be viewed slightly differently , I genuinely have no idea but what I find funny is that in the rule book, it states a facility will only be granted if....... And then lists A-P reasons why it would be granted, what flipping rule book has 16 flipping reasons why something would be allowed . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's their Green Sheet, Calculated Match Average that it's based off of and they're both on 4. Aussies (or riders that haven't ridden in Poland, Sweden or Denmark) come in on a Assessed average of 4 and I have a niggly feeling they can't drop below that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct me if I'm wrong didn't we get a facility for Marcin at Edinburgh for his stag do? Seem to remember blobby etc losing their minds about it because we used heeps. By same reckoning you'd assume a wedding get facility too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mac101 1,201 Posted July 28, 2023 pretty sure lee booked his wedding last year when they found out it was world cup week but if this meeting had been run on friday he was willing to come ride the night before his wedding but then it got changed to the sunday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
