  1. I suspect Ulrichs season is unfortunately over and we will make more than one change to accommodate a new No5 sooner rather than later.
  2. Time for Sedgmen to step up to the plate. He may be required to have 7 rides depending on circumstances and we are overdue a decent shift from him. Posting elsewhere that Nathan Greaves will be r/r which would give Kye Thomson as the rider above and the reserves extra rides. Lawson looked a reasonable rider on Friday, hopefully his dad tinkers with his engines between now and Sunday .
  3. Jye Etheridge guesting for Ostergaard tomorrow. Oh f**k!
  4. Best wishes to him, gives us a major problem for Sunday. Even with a broken wrist I can't see Ulle returning until September, wonder if this will now prompt two team changes as we can't replicate his points on a 7.15 average.
  5. And for keeping us entertained priming gates 2&4 at the interval when there was little else memorable on track. After Eastbourne seems we will be posting a sentry at the start line in away meetings.
  6. Track looks bumpy and inconsistent, hardly likely to give confidence regardless of who the riders are.
  7. We are one rider short of being a decent team. It would also benefit us and Connor Bailey if he found an NDL team to ride more regularly to sharpen up.
  8. The thread could be severed this weekend, another performance like we've seen so far will be unforgiveable.
  9. He's becoming a liability. Few riders would be shown this much goodwill.
  10. We'll need a 20 point lead at ht10 to be in with a shout.
  11. No one raking the home gates this afternoon?
  12. Indeed, perhaps my expectations were set too high for a single meeting. I'd hoped BV would have done better. An unrestricted crowd next time will also make it better.
  13. First visit to the NSS, not sure if BV were that bad or Wolves were that good but they were consistently outgated heat after heat in mainly processional racing. You can't win meetings with 5 race winners. I expected more from Bewley and Kurtz who were disappointing. Masters had it easy other than ht15 though Becker looks like he's developing into a great rider. As mentioned above it was very much FTG, not sure i'd rush back if it is always like this.
  14. Can anyone recommend where is best to park at BV. Website is showing parking passes available for St Peters School but is it necessary to use off street parking?
  15. Willie Lawson winning races, f**king desperate! Doolan will be raging watching these updates. How long can Summers get away with this before his taxi is phoned. Shows what happens when Leon has an off night.
  16. He doesnt seem to have progressed between now and then. His riding style is too loose and the bike often seems to be controlling him rather than the other way round. He really should have done better against Eastbourne on Friday. JS may also be a victim of Glasgow's weaker middle order thus far. Sedg and Wells will be given time whereas this change to strengthen the team could be made straightaway without any other team changes. Connor Bailey needs to get up to speed quickly. It would help him to find an NDL team.
  17. Glasgow were toiling in the first 10 heats, winning only 4 of them. Their gating was appalling, and made it all the more difficult for themselves. The ht10 break was pivotal, I'm sure words were had in the pits and Glasgow woke up thereafter. Cook was decent, Jensen was immense despite his inexperience and Ully continues to outperform his 6.09 average in contrast to Wells who is becoming a passenger, can't gate, can't chase and has no speed. For Eastbourne Lawson and Kerr were good as always with bits of back up from Brennan and Knight. Eddie Kennett put in a usual Glasgow performance where if he gated he won otherwise he wasnt interested. I had a sneaking suspicion earlier in the week that he might find a reason to be absent, r/r being better than him turning up but fair play. Onward to Berwick tomorrow.
  18. Two away collapses in a week, not good. Can see another nail coming out of Wells already shoogly peg. Good move by the Scorps to bring in Allen for Auty. Berwick away next Saturday, which team will sh1te it first?
  19. Why are sections F, G, I & J greyed out as opposed to yellow but it seems like tickets can still be bought for these areas?
  20. Aarnio was the innocent victim of Wilson Dean over-riding, his crash was a shocker. Best wishes to him.
  21. No team has or needs a permanently listed No8 in their declaration. They can cover within the rules.
  22. Doesnt seem to work for Redcar on this occasion but it will on others. I agree that bracketing riders into groups doesnt make them equal but these issues were forseen having occured in the graded reserve system in the 2000's.
  23. You can't get r/r for a reserve so they have no choice. Remains to be seen what Leon will do but 3 or 4 race wins would be fine.
  24. FFS Berwick, three race wins from the main body. Eastbourne in disguise. Someone needs to have a word, Flint & Bickley cant be expected to carry the team every week but if they could all ride the same in a fortnights time that would be great.
