He did well to score 8 points,he has to continue that kind of scoring.We will see what happens next meeting.

Would've matter if he continued to score zero as we couldn't make any changes and as his average is low then, even if he quit , there is very little options for a guest, therefore it was better to see if he could get out of the slump he was in. Hopefully he has now turned a corner.

Perhaps he should have stayed at Berwick,he seemed to be able to ride the track and it had a lot more Home advantage that Ashfield. Very inconsistent though.

Indeed. We're already toiling for a guest for Hausl on Friday at Scunthorpe. Am presuming he'll not be back. Anyone know.

As a supporter of a team who aren't Glasgow, I personally couldn't give a hoot about what any rider who wears a Glasgow racesuit scores. 

But I do give a hoot about fans/supporters who constantly slag young riders off, because that is highly unlikely to turn their form around.

Well yes I do, particularly if he's riding again on the continent and isn't going to ride for us. Would this mean we are stuck with an NDL guest? That wouldn't be good.

If Glasgow say he is withholding his services and then he has a 28 day ban then you can have a guest using the whole average.

Good information coming from a supporter of a team consistently bending the rules to suit 🤔 🤣

He's been detrimental to the whole Tigers' season because with Howarth retired Glasgow needed everyone else to step up and be prepared to fight. I'd rather he didn't come back, if only for the team spirit alone because when he did turn up he always looked gloomy and disinterested. He had two good races all season, both of which he made the gate but in one of them he was pressured into a fall. At the start of the season everyone assured me he was the best thing to come out of Germany since bratwurst but even a sausage on a bike would have been more committed to the Tigers' cause than he is. 

If he's back next season I'll not be.

Well, with that kind of serious threat, I’m sure the Glasgow management will be in touch to make sure you’re ok with their choices of rider next season before they sign as it would surely be a disaster for the club if you didn’t turn up…….🤣

Not sure that the Tigers are good at handling young riders. Boughen was another who didn't seem to fit in/ be part of the team. Pijper tells of there being too much pressure at Glasgow and how he is more settled at Redcar. Bickley possibly another and Berge perhaps as well.

And look at how they have all thrived since leaving. 2 have retired. One will never be in a team and not be a reserve and fair enough Berge has turned into a half decent rider.

Riders should know the expectations will be higher at certain clubs, like Glasgow or Poole. Even if the management tell them there's no pressure, they'll know the fans are used to a winning team (especially at Poole). If they want to learn the sport with zero pressure, could join a team that never wins anything?
