As for saying Bomber wasnt trying that is just crazy. well he done pretty good on the grass meeting but the previous meetings for glasgow have been poor shades of a few years ago ?

But the point was, there are very few riders who approach Bomber's consistency over the last few years. To say he's been poor when it matters is daft. His 13+1 at Armadale mattered - it was a crucial contribution to an away win against Edinburgh! I'd say most Glasgow fans would say that mattered!

As the last couple of years team build limit has been set at 40 but teams will always end the season centred on 42, a 5% increase (2/40) is to be expected and doesn't suggest the an improved performances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 Harris is a great rider and servant to British speedway. I was there with 40,000 other when Bomber won the 2007 Cardiff GP. What a ride! He has been great and rarely injured. He was talking about retiring several years ago. Glad he didn’t. Needs a huge testimonial meeting when he does hang up his Kevlars. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand Bomber is absolutely loved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about his last lap pass on Doyle in the play offs against Somerset brought the house down! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R/r would not be a disadvantage as Grahn, Loftus and Kye do well at Glasgow, Paco is not that great round there, only got 6 last time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
