  1. As another poster mentioned they thought they had fixed the problem and so they hadn't warmed up the other bike
  2. Yes you are reading to much into it. He is a belle vue rider riding in the nl championship representing the belle vue Colts. Edinburgh gave him his first opportunity so of course he mentioned them. Bit surprised he didn't mention steve Lawson but he never mentioned his dad either. I'm sure if danny King wins the championship riders meeting representing Ipswich he will thank Leicester 😯
  3. Unlike Gazc, totally disagree about your snide quip about Lawson. Firstly if he hadn't beaten Cook in the fastest time by an opposition rider in heat 1 and won his next two despite being on Aaron's bike in one of them there wouldn't have been a 'pressure situation'. Secondly he was on Ryan macdonalds bike in his forth for goodness sake. Well done Ryan for helping out. So Mr Young away and think of other excuses for the monarchs bottling it at home last Friday
  4. What planet are you on. Do you get commission for every reply to your posts? We're replacing Tom perry an experienced reserve and jack Smith considered good enough to ride for belle vue with Alfie bowtell a keen inexperienced rider and Ryan a nice kid who can't gate for toffee
  5. Sadly the teams in the championship are being manipulated again by the 'top' division. Teams left with the choice of moving up, if asked, or staying and having only a few teams to race against. The next thing will be no loan fees to be paid to championship teams whose asset rides for a Premier team
  6. Don't want to use up bandwidth by repeating your 'away from home' careful analysis but in case its evaded you Richard Lawson 11 at Sheffield, Richie Worrall 4, just saying
  7. Just wonder why his relationship has been on a knife edge for a while now? Any way not bad scoring tonight 14 from 5 and helps knock Swindon out of the Cup. Now if he does that on Tuesday ................
  8. Indeed, you do wonder. Some fans keep mentioning something that happened at Berwick as being the time things started to go pear shaped. If so what did the management and riders do to sort it out. The facennas seem to be decent people but if we don't win the cup and I can't see how we will, there could be a big clear out and I don't just mean riders
  9. Feel for the owners. Racing the second leg on a Tuesday night was never going to be a money spinner as I said in a earlier post. After this result I worry about the likely crowd. Can save there money for the KO cup 🤕🤒
  10. Richard 11 v Josh 11 James 10 v Jan 11 So only two Glasgow riders managed to match there opposite numbers and one was a guest! Thanks James Also it was always going to be difficult for Alfie so thanks for accepting the booking
  11. Someone tell the Glasgow heatleaders the play offs don't count for next years average
  12. Sadly can't see any Glasgow fan attending. What with the 3 recent matches, the riders championship on Sunday and play off second leg money will be tight. Throw in the dodgy weather.... Edit to be fair the weather forecast doesn't look too bad
  13. You have to hope that Richard and Aaron score what they did in the meeting in May 2017 otherwise it won't matter where they put r/r. Richie is the potential problem, scoring wise, at Sheffield. So I would have Richard, r/r, Dan, Richie, Aaron, James and Alfie. My point about r/r at 2 was that Dan could potentially maximise his r/r ride by getting it in heat 8. With r/r at 5 , Dan won't get an 'easy' r/r ride being out against at least one heat leader in every potential race (heats 4, 6, 9, and 13) and as I've said before our reserves will be riding together in at least 3 heats, two of which will be against heat leaders. Just think the way were lined up puts tremendous pressure on Dan, who is still young and inexperienced as well as coming back from injury, and James who has had probably only one good meeting this year. Anyway hopefully I'm wrong and Stuart is right
  14. For this match I'd put r/r at 2. Would give Dan a chance in heat 8 being up against Sheffields no. 2 and 2 reserves. Also means one of our reserves, the only other option for r/r, would be against a Sheffield reserve in heat 11. Also means a reserve out in heat 1 can get a feel for the track prior to heat 2
  15. To add to my original post r/r can be taken by dan Bewley who is coming back from injury and the 2 reserves. Remember the no. 5 races with the no. 6 twice and the no. 7 once. So in at least 3 races we will be represented by the 2 reserves. Get in there James and Alfie 🙊🙄
  16. Glasgow Team 1. Richard L 2. Dan Bewley 3. Aaron 4. Richie W 5. R/R 6. James Sarjeant (guest) 7. Alfie Bowtell (guest) R/R at number 5 ?????????!!!!!!!! Discuss
  17. Sorry pal my comments badly worded. Was trying to say firstly we get people on here suggesting James is deliberately dropping his average and my response being why would he deliberately lose money AND then I thought you were suggesting he was deliberately getting fined, so again why would he do that. It was my way of saying no one would deliberately go out and lose money so there has to be some other issues and I think he has tried to put his point of view in his statement
  18. I thought I read that we tried Workington but they wouldn't come cos Cook wouldn't be available. A bit ironic as he's missed quite a few meetings since the World Cup for various reasons some of which remain a mystery to me. Perhaps he'll pass Josh on his way north
  19. So James sarjeant is not only dropping his average deliberately allegedly but now deliberately getting fined. He presumably can't be earning anything or covering his costs so why. Has he won the lottery or something. Can't help thinking that reports of him saying he's deliberately dropping his average was done as a joke due to him being p....ed off and it's come back to bite him
  20. Excellent post the only minor criticism is that your giving some credence to what kermy says by responding 😯
