Why are the Poole fans worried what Glasgow think of Thomsen? It’s merely a point of view about how riders ride different tracks 

Poole would be wasting their time signing a team of racers like say Harris or Pickering or Wright because the Poole track suits gaters 

There are probably riders of less overall ability then Thomsen who would do better with Glasgow as a home track 

Bit like when Kurtz rides Foxhall as he is awful there and riders like Lawson and Kvech who are more of a danger to us then Kurtz 

Not worried just rather he did not go to a track where he is not liked, I am sure wherever he rides he will give his all, he did for Poole, we will miss him. I think if he rode at Ashfield every week he would be fine.

Are you Thomsen's Mum? Every time a Glasgow fan says that we don't want to sign him because he doesn't ride our track well and we think his average would go down, you whinge that we "don't like" him. It's nothing to do with liking or not liking him, we just want our club to sign racers that might increase their average and score a lot of points on our track, and hopefully on away tracks. Based on past performance Tobias Thomsen would not be a good signing for Glasgow.

So many Glasgow fans on the Poole thread. Are they worried about the team Matt and Danny are putting together?

Our lineup is looking good if a tad inexperienced. The two other heat leaders need to have that experience to back up Lawson and give advice to at least two riders who are new to the league. 
 

Going to be a fun 2026.

Gavan is not a Glasgow fan! I am sure if Tobias rode Ashfield every week he would increase his average.

So why didn't he have a higher average riding for Poole,he is what he is and maybe he's at his level,to be fair he was much much better than  what pretty much everybody thought he would be when Matt announced his signing

Would Kyle Howarth fit as Anders Rowe's replacement?

Both Drew Kemp and Kyle Howarth will ideally need to be signed by midweek CHAMP Clubs considering they've signed Polish deals and Drew to Poole is a no go.

Yes you are probably correct it is his level but he would at least maintain his current average and may well improve.

All 7 are sorted subject to any uncertainty over the 40 points limit which of course is dependant on the same number of teams!

Danny likes to stagger the announcements over an extended period of time to get maximum regional publicity, usually all before Christmas, but this time it may carry over til mid January.!!😉

I'll retract part of the above as I'm hearing there may be an issue with one of the 7 wanting much more than Poole are prepared to pay!

Bored at work, so I'll bite. 😂

We (Glasgow fans) always expect you to put a team together. Our blend of experience and youth next year should be a good match again to your rumoured team. Roll on the new season.

We seem to have developed a bit of a rivalry. I hope it continues. I thought with addition of Nagel you would win this year.
