Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 24, 2023 Pretty awful meeting. Redcar so weak it was a going through the motions meeting to get it done. Guessing Poole on Wednesday against Edinburgh might be similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted September 24, 2023 So it’s all down to Glasgow v Oxford on Tuesday. A ten point lead is not enough imo and Glasgow with their powerhouse top 5 will prove too strong against a battling Oxford team. I am hoping for Oxford in the final as it’s a track up the road and we can have a big Pirate contingent, but a ten lead is small. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm meaning I've not seen an announcement of who would be replacing them at either match? Assuming it would have been Kinsley & Scott on the NLRC, but they weren't in the preview?

Glasgow have a very strong top 4, but Oxford have a strong top 3. Glasgow's reserves needing to take 10 rides between them balances out thier top end. Could go either way imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Haven’t worked out the permutations or looked at current standings yet but what happens if Glasgow beat Oxford get bonus but Redcar beat Glasgow on Wednesday night ?

iainb 5,020 Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) So Connor Bailey elects to miss a crucial play off meeting in the UK to not ride in Wroclaw! The same lad that elected to not ride for his country in the SoN2! This lad needs to work out which side his bread is buttered Edited September 24, 2023 by iainb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The same lad that elected to not ride for his country in the SoN2! This lad needs to work out which side his bread is buttered Don't think we've seen an explanation as to why this meeting was arranged for today when Bailey and Riss were never available. Agree about the SoN2 but if he ever has any ambition of being a regular in Poland then he had to be there today, I expect he would have been made to be there by the FIM anyway if there had been a dispute as Poland have priority on Sundays.

I don't really think it would have mattered if he said no to Wroclaw... if he's scoring big points in the future, I'm sure they or any other Polish team would be very quick to forgive and forget Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
