The 64,000 dollar question is will Shovvy have recovered from the Corona and be in attendance!  If so make sure he is carrying a negative test on him and wearing a mask!

No I am not going. Too far, cost £200 fuel, two days away and I can watch the stream for £12.99. Plus I am going to Crystal Palace Saturday for the top PL clash.

For Poole I’ll be wanting at least 12 points. Anything less than 10 I wouldn’t fancy our chances. 16 and higher I’d be confident. 
I don’t think they had Nagel in either of our meetings at their place? He rides their place like a heat leader.

They are riding better now and Nagel has never faced us, he is a very good rider, with him they are a different team.

I don't think of Nagel as a particularly good gater, but he's aggressive, perhaps a tad too much sometimes.

pooles riders all fit and firing, bottom end strength the factor .

It'll be interesting to see how Glasgow go this evening against Redcar. Odd that there's no match thread on here for that one.

Agree. Our reserves are no better than Glasgows. Cairns is either gate and gone or struggling to work out lines to pass. Starke is slow. Hodder could beat them both.

Last week the track was slick and I think it will be again. Pirates will need their gating gloves on.

Cairns blew the U19 title with a lack of consistence gating, and struggled to come from the back when missed the gate, others came from the back to get points.

He’s 16.just.

[Bagpuss]

Glasgow reserves combined most recent greensheets = 5.05

Poole's = 8.04

Pretty clear who has most strength at reserve. Expecting the difference to be significant in both legs so Glasgow's top five need to score big twice.

Most of those riders have a lot more experience as well

I meant the home leg at Wimborne Road SS!  Palace v Bournemouth will be a cracking game.

Just as well it wasn’t Celina, don’t think the fallout would have been good if that’s what happened against Rushen 🙈

[SteveArena]

Looks like Gavan will be supporting the Jocks in this one!
