Paulco 7,077 Posted October 12, 2023 2 minutes ago, Steve Shovlar said: Poole fans who attended Glasgow on Monday said the crowd was about a third of the size of Wimborne Road last night. I wasn’t there to verify but the supporters have no reason to fib. Perhaps the crowd wasn’t huge due to off night? Crowd was well over a thousand , which for a meeting hastily rearranged twice wasn't bad . The crowd levels at Glasgow are generally pretty healthy 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weeyin 1,022 Posted October 12, 2023 Glasgow only signed Tarasenko due to Marcin leaving, there would have been no change if Marcin was not recalled by his Polish team. Granted the change did strengthen us, due mainly by moving Tom to 2 with Bomber, at the same time we lost our power house pairing of Claus and Ben and that lost us points 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TracksideView 28 Posted October 12, 2023 2 hours ago, Bagpuss said: I keep reading this and I always have the same thought.....a club like Glasgow with a good racetrack moving up would enhance the Prem, so even if one considered the top league to be 'inferior' it would be less so with Glasgow in it. You'd have seven in each division and a more even spread of the better circuits. Plus why would you not want to see the likes of Emil, Doyle, Bewley, Holder, Tai, Laguta, Lambert etc on a regular basis? Glasgow would enhance the Premiership but does Glasgow need the Premiership ? Local Derby would change from Edinburgh to Belle Vue ,travelling fans (of which Glasgow have a large number) would have horrendous traveling distance with the rest of the Premier being so far south. Also not sure bigger speedway names would have major attendance increase in Scotland, higher costs with restricted income would be inevitable. Would be entertaining to see Glasgow in the Prem and on TV but think Glasgow will continue to build its infrastructure before considering moving up IMHO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have mentioned it from the day it was announced and have been proven to be completely correct. I have always said Glasgow didn’t break the so called rules, so why are Glasgow fans so tetchy about it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am saying if you had won last night he wouldn’t have been mentioned in the here and now. Its because we won last night it is being dragged up again unsurprisingly. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything is possible we could have lost with Tarasenko scoring poorly. It is irrelevant as we won so doesn’t really matter however many times you say it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dropped in the doodoo, we came out of it smelling like roses with Vad. Be good to enjoy this league success, the last time we slipped towards the abyss from 2012 - 2014 as a result, before the Facenna revolution from 2015.

You don't think nowak could've matched his 8 from 5 rides, which was 5 from his first 4 rides? Tarasenko was pretty average both legs against Oxford. But don't let that get in the way of your flawed logic 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
