Gazc 7,098 Posted August 25, 2023 Won’t be long for the usual turd polishing by our esteemed manager , with the exception of Bomber and Ben that was as toothless as it gets. And well done to Scunthorpe good performance by them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes Ashton Boughen would have been worth risking but apparently his father wanted heat leader points money and a signing on bonus. Think Lee will reinvest in engines, thanks to a sponsor. Ace is doing his job just wish he'd gate more often. Any suggestions eh ...glasgow should never have went into the season with these 2 reserves there's a suggestion, it was utter stupidity & never gonna work & anybody with speedway know how could see after only a few meetings .. tarasenko will help yes but this scunthorpe meeting sums glasgow up bottom end put too much pressure on the top 5 because they lack any scoring potential when it matters the most 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom needs relieved of captaincy and away from no.5 pronto. Couple weeks for Lee to sort out his mechanical issues. Side note... What did ablitt score against Poole a few weeks ago again? Lol Still got Poole at heart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Abblit was excellent, as was Kemp. The meeting itself was fantastic racing. Possibly the best race track in the U.K. and was exploited in every heat. A really small crowd though which was a shame. Pirates now with best opportunity to finish top.

Paulco 7,077 Posted August 25, 2023 Disappointed with the result , but some of the racing was brilliant . Lovely touch by Ben Basso to come over and applaud us travelling fans on the first bend , after he won heat 15 . Big difference of course was getting heavily outscored at reserve 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not surprising, only time he gets by someone is when he rides through them. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To a lesser extent you are correct but the thing about Claus is he is consistently inconsistent. Scunthorpe we’re by far and away the better team on the night, we just need to up our game when it matters. Edited August 25, 2023 by Gazc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that it matters particularly but can't think why didn't get Kinsley once knew Ace be missing. 47 minutes ago, Jaizer said: Awful performance, top nights entertainment.

What did ablitt score against Poole a few weeks ago again? Lol Not sure how, when you seemed to realise that we would be struggling, that you then deem it an awful performance. We all knew that r/r wouldn't work and that Jamie Halder, thank you for taking the booking, wouldn't compensate for Ace. We also knew that we would be struggling for the bonus point particularly as the home leg was abandoned after Heat 11. Claus tried his guts out and deserved more points for his efforts and yet your comments suggest he didn't turn up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even with R/R and nl guest. Yes I thought we'd lose bonus and yeah Claus was trying but is 5 points from 5 rides good enough? I'm sure they were all trying, never questioned that at all. But the riders scores bomber and Ben apart are not good enough and not what's expected from those in charge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marcin would have made it very interesting and Pijper would have been more on the pace than Complin early on. Good meeting to watch just like the BSN meeting earlier. Updates site has several references to Glasgow riders stealing it on the line, never giving up would be my take. Brennan should be given the No2 race jacket with our recent signing, he's really toiling. Edited August 25, 2023 by MD 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom at 2 was in my thoughts, Jaizer also mentioned it earlier as well ,let’s hope Cami is thinking along those lines also. Not overly concerned about tonight as we were weakened ,not an excuse just the simple fact of how it went tonight But we can’t overlook that two riders carried the team tonight and took the fight to Scunthorpe with back up to a lesser extent by Claus. Poor performance but not unexpected. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert 304 Posted August 25, 2023 Great nights entertainment... Scorps just too good tonight. Lovely to see Allen, Ablitt and Kemp hit some form, credit to them. Harris and Basso fantastic for the Tigers... less said about Vissing, that wipe out on Ablitt, naughty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noelinho 922 Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Get the new guy in. Tom at 2. Bomber to captain. Lee to get another working engine like the one he took to Plymouth. Team will look much better then. Edited August 25, 2023 by Noelinho 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
