I'm going to give the lad the benefit of the doubt. Welcome back Bomber. The guy is on a career high and there's no reason, today, why that can't continue. Good team building IMO also not to have Basso at 1.

To be honest, off the top of my head, he'd be the only rider that if we ever signed him I wouldn't watch Glasgow whilst he was still in the team.

Now now

I'd never accept him riding for Glasgow. His infantile behaviour at previous derby meetings, riding for them, he'd be beyond the pale for me.

If it is Harris, Basso, Nowak and Complin all in the same team then just take my money! That's entertainment right there.

Oh right. This is still a speedway forum.

What does this even mean?

Harris, Basso, Nowak and Complin! Oooft, it'd be entertaining. Carnage, but entertaining.

I'm not against Harris per se. I'm against us signing a rider on Harris' average, at Harris' age and with Harris' past weekend commitments. For the avoidance of doubt if Lawson and Harris were on the same average I'd want Harris! I'm genuinely not that bothered about my team winning trophies. I pay my money to be entertained and Harris is more entertaining than Lawson. I just think it makes more sense, as the objective of the management is of course to actually win trophies, to sign Lawson over Harris.

Is Vissing? Aye, of course it's true that we don't really know about either yet but you'd think with Vissing and Nowak that's 10 team building points that should be worth 12ish.

This is why I don't think it's Harris. It's an irresponsible usage of too many points. Lawson makes far more sense.

Ace Pijper signs for Glasgow = 2.00

Waited until the cheques cleared.

Was he retired just one season?

It's all coming together nicely. Announce Lawson last please

Legend but let's be honest, not the coolest of heads! Ooooft. Didn't he have an involvement in the Edinburgh junior program?

Theo Pijper? If he doesn't want to ride and give more practical help to Ace? Personally I'd be happy to roll the dice with both Pijpers at 6 & 7, but I'd much prefer Theo as TM than Brown.

That's not a bad shout but I'd be happier with Theo as a rider/manager. Has that ever happened? It would be a new one on me.

I'm liking this lineup: Basso Lawson Brennan Vissing Nowak T Pijper A Pijper I believe this is <= 40

Looking back to the bspl archive it looks like Harris started the season 2018 on 8.44 and finished on 7.71

Why? What does it matter to you?

Harris and Basso is using up too many points on two riders IMO, even with "bargain" Vissing on 5.00 If Harris has signed it's a weird signing for himself, doesn't he want a midweek team to facilitate continental weekend options.....?

Source...?

I take your point but I think perhaps it's more of a scenario that Craig's time with us has came to a natural end, and not just a numbers game. Richard Lawson would fit in on those points left, hmm.

Nah nah nah Nicol has had his chance, not for me thanks. I do think you're right with Basso, Brennan and Vissing. It seems a fairly well known secret that Marcin Nowak (5.00) will be back. Personally I think both Pijpers could be a good bet.
