If Glasgow were willing to be a Prem team then it'll all have been decided in a November AGM. Glasgow are clearly the best set to step up, but if they are happy to be a big fish in a little pond, can't force them to move up. A lot of what they do screams professionalism, feel they look like a "Premier" promotion. Glasgow certainly could be in the premiership, but business wise it isn’t smart. Oxford and Birmingham prove that. Poole could be but financially would be a silly idea. If for example belle Vue decided to drop down like Poole did. They’d never want to move back up. The only difference between the leagues are the big names. Entertainment wise there’s not a huge amount in it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way would any proper speedway fan not care if another team had to close……but I can certainly understand why no Championship supporter would want their league or team compromised to protect a league that was failing through no fault of theirs. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Glasgow are being smart rather than”brave”.Thats why they are successful business men. They have worked hard to get Tigers to this position ,no need to throw it all away.IMO 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest with Glasgow, Scunthorpe, Redcar, and Workington, the second tier, overall, delivers better racing... With, the NSS being the only top tier track that consistently delivers a similar standard... 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow aren’t just being smart business wise for their own benefit either, losing them would affect all the northern clubs. Glasgow bring a big following to Berwick for sure and I’m sure they take it to the other northern venues too, they’d also lose virtually all the away support they get at Ashfield. It would be a lose lose situation for those with the most at stake. There is nothing “brave” about what the teams in the Premiership are doing, it’s business suicide for most, you just need to look at recent history.

Ben91 Posted Thursday at 08:45 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:45 PM Looks an exciting side for Glasgow and two newcomers to British Speedway to boot. Goes to show there are other riders out there willing to come ride here. Applaud the promotion for sticking to their guns and not taking a bullet for the top tier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted Thursday at 10:13 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:13 PM May as well give the title to Glasgow right now. Even Cami knickers can’t mess this up. Question is, will they manage the treble? Clear favourites by the proverbial mile. Hearing the Faccenas have ordered a large pot of Brasso. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO yeah, if they've got another Nagel - league favourites, if it's another Ivacic - could probably still make the top 4, but not win any silverware?

He's 7 years older than Mitch McDiarmid with all the additional experience that implies, yet it was McDiarmid who had the higher average in the Polish under 24 league this year. If I was going to sign a Pedersen he'd only be fourth on my list behind Bastian, Villads and Rasmus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
