Glasgow are paying riders what the Promotion can afford, that is their perogative, If other promotions CANT

So Be It.

Think some supporters from other teams are envious what the Glasgow Promoters are doing.

We do have the Best track in the Championship,We do own our own Stadium.We can afford riders pay

within the promotions  budget. Concentrate on your own Team matters not Glasgows

The signing on fees and the covering of other costs that clubs don’t pay or contribute partly towards are also a big plus. 
 

If everyone believes riders choose to travel half the length of UK cause of the track and cause they get paid every Tuesday then you’ll believe anything. It’s all the other bits I’ve listed above that make it worth it. 
 

If you know riders who have rode under the new regime well enough and promotors of other clubs who have lost out on riders due to this, who are happy to discuss it feel free to ask them.

I believe Glasgow is an international airport unless Im told otherwise......i've never said anything before but you really are a green eyed monster mr blubby 🤣🤣

What a Disaster tonight, Track looked crap, but we need to think about MAX PERRY, i know hes young but 

we need a rider who has good experience at reserve,Hodder is improving, but we wont win the League.

If PERRY was still fighting an injury, he should not have ridden,Management should have pulled him out,

and been replaced another rider at 7, might have been a better bet, ABLITT OR RITCHINGS?(if fit)

Most riders ride with injuries as they need to be earning. Pretty sure Ablitt is higher than a 2 pointer, more like 5 lol and someone said Ritchings is a 2.35 now (not checked that myself) so you can't have him either.

Glasgow great racetrack brilliant owners,but it's no good trying to put a sticking plaster over your teams problem,it's all down to terrible team building truly terrible,assume matt ford to be one of the best if not the best at putting a winning team together in either league he would have never ever  had a team with two reserves so obviously poor as this Glasgow team,he would work on the elementary rule of one strong reserve.im  hoping Glasgow can still somehow make a big challenge for honours, better for the league

A respectable track would be better for the sport.

Hardly terrible team building. Glasgow are still in the BSN, KOC & favourites to make the play-offs. Before tonights match had won all 3 away league matches.

Yes they have weak reserves, they must have known that pre-season, so need their top 5 to win matches for them!

It's very easy to say a 2 pointer isn't doing well enough, but much harder to suggest a replacement who will do better.

Which you've shown by suggesting a 5 point rider to replace him lol!

The team building philosophy was wrong but the team is not terrible. The two reserves are actually averaging more this year than their assessed 2.00 figures so it's wrong to say they are "poor". However it will be a stretch to win a trophy this year, particularly if we meet Poole.
