Well, I had someone asking me questions last week that made me believe the last Workington rider wasn’t signed.

I'm going to deduce from that response, that you don't know who the last rider is.

One of you has to be wrong... Have Workington even signed their last rider yet?

One meeting in 2022, 4 rides, one point, fell off once.

I do wonder if that is part of it (although I’m sure we’d have made an exception for Ben in the right circumstances).

What was wrong with the track? There was passing all over the place whenever I was there - thought I'd gone to the wrong place!

Season starts with BSN/KO Cup, so plenty racing before averages take effect - they’re from league only, remember.

Damn. Second by less than a mile!

Plenty Glasgow fans say the same about Ashfield. Riders love coming here, but with a strong team, you still have a home advantage. Although maybe the banking at Glasgow gives us a little more.

Turning up would be a good start.

I don't think that's quite as true as people like to believe.

Cami also brought in Lee Complin, which raised a lot of eyebrows but proved everyone wrong at the end of the season - to the point Lee's even coming back, and no-one is calling it silly!

She'll not be the worst rider to go around Armadale in recent times though

Improve on a 6.24 rolling average? Yes, he will.

Tom lost his place in Glasgow's plans because they wouldn't wait any longer for him to make his mind up. He was asked. Whether he wanted to stay at Glasgow or was just holding back that he was planning to sign for Poole, I don't know. I guess you wouldn't want to say you're definitely leaving if you haven't signed a contract elsewhere yet.

4.90.

I was hoping it was going to be Mikkel B Andersen.

Poole, Redcar and Oxford all shaping up well to me.

If the snack van would take card payments, that would be exciting news.

I don't know if the rules are the same for 2024, but the rules for 2023 were as follows:

Not wanting to take over the Poole thread, but from Glasgow’s perspective, it’s undeniable the 7 riders we will start next season with are clearly weaker than the 7 we started 2023 with, even putting the forced change for Vadim to one side, which did make us stronger. Must be true of others too. Doesn’t mean we won’t get good racing, of course.

Very much so!

Yeah, he's third on the official averages of those planning to return, and he belongs there. Still fabulous when things are going well. Joint third-highest scorer for Edinburgh this season even though he only appeared in 7 championship meetings.

I thought they'd leave Steve to last, but I guess it doesn't matter when we all seem to know the team!

I believe it would give a total of 37.93, so yes.
