As I'm unable to do away meetings any more it'll have to be if you travel up to Poole. Hopefully I'll be in my usual grandstand seat overlooking the start/finish line.

More neutral fans would be disappointed if they didn't than if Poole did not run,that's if they are running especially as 2024 will be the last at Wimborne Road. Who has confirmed 2024 is there last season at wimborne road Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Usually have a beer or 2 with some pool fans in the pub just up the road from the stadium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember those days when I used to drink at speedway - long passed nowadays as it used to skew my opinions. Didnt realise it had a pool table!

SharpenRake 1,505 Posted October 29, 2023 Welcome to the Glasgow Tigers 2024 page, but thought I'd mention something that has got nothing to do with 2024. Just watched the 2023 Grand Final home leg on BSN - its really worth watching. If you don't know the score, Glasgow won 52-38. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike0310 660 Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) That’s what happens when your the reigning CHAMPIONS. Don’t class all of us down south in that bracket I no most Plymouth fans are delighted you won it and after Oxford went out I’m sure most of them also.

Last time Poole had a 'struggling season' was 2009. Speaks for itself. Glasgow have built a good team every season since 2015, since the Facennas took over, they've always been a top 4 club (I think). Not as successful as Poole, but that doesn't mean they can't build a strong team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How much does a manager effect a teams fortunes. Cami I'd considered by many to be a poor manager, regularly makes odd heat 15 choices, doesn't put his top 2 at 1+5 (a nit pick of mine) gives his weakest rider an unnecessary 4th ride - but still won the league. Stuart Dickson has a reputation of being a good manager, tactically astute, but his changes made Leicester worse & didn't help Birmingham much. Pete Adams has won many titles, but in recent years Wolves had made the play-offs but then proceed to lose home & away on the semis! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glasgow promotion are focused on investing into the SPORT and not just the club. Didn't Glasgow's promoters sponsor the league last year too..? Maybe they are investing all that money they saved by not needing to pay Poole any "first prize cash"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allied Mobility sponsored Team GB last year as they've done this year as well, with Allied's Cab's Direct sponsoring the Championship this season. Maybe Poole should have invested some of that "first prize cash" from previous seasons into purchasing some material for their track, but then again what would have been the point when every track grade consists of grading away any material produced from racing 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
