Jonimac 92 Posted September 1, 2023 Outstanding win for Glasgow. I’ve never witnessed them win a trophy (I started at Coatbridge in 1975!) so thank you BSN. And the celebrations showed how much it means to everyone at the club. Getting the best of Charles Wright and Danny King twice was no mean feat, and the way in which they rode showed what pairs is all about. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noelinho 922 Posted September 1, 2023 Fantastic win, well deserved. Beat Poole, Oxford and Redcar five times from five heats. Redcar well worthy of second, Lewis Kerr was brilliant most of the night for Oxford too. Batch needs dispatched. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eide67 199 Posted September 1, 2023 After an iffy start turned into a really good pairs meeting with some excellent racing when any of the three top teams met. Well done to Glasgow who thoroughly deserved their victory with Chris Harris the rider of the night. His team riding in the semi was epic and in stark contrast to Charles Wright in the final, who was busting a gut to win the race when he should have dropped back to try to help his partner into third. Also a special mention for young Max Perry taking a fine heat win. And finally - where was Cami? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BacktrackBandit 80 Posted September 1, 2023 Proud of the the Bandits tonight, didn’t sit around and moan about the track conditions, just went out on the track and gave it their best shot. Congratulations to Glasgow! Whatever happened to the fours by the way? Always loved the fours and would love to see them return. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteelShoe 500 Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) 49 minutes ago, lisa-colette said: Haha, I said it at beginning of the meeting! lol. If I say it during the playoffs you might have a point. Never been a fan of a pairs competition. I can just about make do with SoN. Every heat in every league meeting is a competition of one pair against another. The point score differential and trying not to finish last should make it more intriguing. How to ride Pairs was expertly demonstrated by Bomber especially in the semi final in keeping Lewis Kerr at the back and protecting Basso. Compare that to Rich Lawson in the first semi, he just didn't know how to do the same with Danny King in order to give Ben Cook a chance of getting into third , eventually King passed Richard to take second and make it a 7-2. Difference between night and day. Edited September 1, 2023 by SteelShoe 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s not just a speedway thing! It’s literally done in almost every other sport. In fact, it’s the 8th option (eighth, not 800th) for deciding a tiebreaker in the groups of the FIFA World Cup. The biggest sporting competition in the world. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
