MANSE 480 Posted October 24, 2023 9 hours ago, Noelinho said: The article says Harris has already been named. That's incorrect. The won't be any announcements until sometime in November. However, no one around Glasgow believes anything other than that Bomber is coming back. If the team and/or Bomber didn't intend for him to come back, I'm certain it would've been announced. I'm interested to see who we end up with. My current guess from what people say would be: Bomber, Worrall, Bailey, Hume, Borke, Complin, Pijper. Not my favourite 7, but they're all riders that others like and people seem to be interested in. More wrong than right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One heatleader unlikely to repeat his success of this year, three second strings and three reserves.

Worrall a 2nd string? Don't see many 8 point second strings around 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even Poole could beat that lot When your losing 5½ points from this season's team average total then 2024 by comparison is going to look inferior. But Steve Worrall was definitely a heatleader, didn't you see him at 5 for Poole in playoff finals? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trouble is gaters aren’t the most exciting riders to watch,but at the end of the day they all finish up with decent averages and win their Teams matches on a regular basis.Passing is at a premium in speedway nowadays with the slick tracks and rocket machine equipment.Riders beaten to the 1st bend ,only a few percentage pass a decent rider that gates. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
