Bald Bloke Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 1 hour ago, Steve Shovlar said: So hot here. Sizzling heat at 10 am. Bit more of an easterly breeze this morning but that won’t make any difference. Trying to get any moisture into the track is going to be a thankless task. Horrendous conditions for racing but they just have to get on with it. Big crowd expected as it’s half term. The bar staff will be kept very busy! If anything, the breeze combined with the heat will make it dry out faster. Ideally plenty of water on the track late last night, and from 5 this morning throughout the day as needed. That's if you have access of course. Don't think Bombers gonna like it much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldswindonsupporter Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Strange scheduling, surely Glasgow would have worked out that Kevin Juhl Pedersen was always going to be missing for the Danish semi-final... Can't see anything but a Poole win and by quite a few giving Glasgow little chance of a bonus point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler42 Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 4 hours ago, InTheDeepStuff said: Poole to get low to mid 50’s tonight, Bomber off form in Championship, not a happy hunting ground for Howarth who is the in form rider for Glasgow, can’t see Flint getting much picking from the Poole heatleaders. I’d expect Lawson to go undefeated by a Glasgow rider, Poole reserves to have a field day against the Glasgow reserves and middle order, with Kerr and Cook to have a solid double digit night also When Exeter came into town, back in the day, most clubs thought the same about them. On paper, it looks like it could be a hammering for the tigers, but nothing is won on paper. Sport has a habit of turning up a few shock results over the years, so you never know!!

Steve Shovlar Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 6pm and 31c in Poole. 🥵 And some still don’t believe there’s such a thing as Global warming. As temperature records break every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don't know why we didn't get dates in July for our aways at Poole and Oxford during the Danish summer break. Something we did last year.

Ensuring the home teams have their best riders available is the fixture planning priority for the teams.. Zach Cook will miss several Saturday meetings away from home, however Poole still signed him and said they would do their best to avoid clashes but that some would be inevitable... That's the state of play in UK Speedway, unfortunately... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharpenRake Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 Just had a look at the comments on the updates forum. Can't believe the comments from non Tigers fans. They seem to think Glasgow will get 30 + points or even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 “FTG” or “X passes X on B2 L1”.😂 We’re rubbishe, but when the champions are serving up this sort of racing on a weekly basis, what chance has the sport got? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerIain Posted May 27 Report Share Posted May 27 21 hours ago, Bitza said: Nobody really gains from a one-sided competition. Glasgow (the fans) deserve better obviously it would be great if Cami were to go (he does make some bloody odd calls) but maybe they missed a trick when let Dan Thompson go, should it really have been Harris? I know Harris brings plenty as a Captain beyond points, and can on the odd occasion still match most top championship riders, but Dan is on the up and he now makes Edinburgh a more formidable team too. Just a thought?!*# Tigers were always bringing Bomber back for entertainment value around Ashfield. Once the one rider over 8 came in Dan was a certainty to miss out. Also his average came from riding at 3, not 1 or 5, so there was a little bit of a risk in that, however Dan seems to have stepped up this year. Bomber's issues this year seem to be bike/engine related (not heard anything publicly re his lower than normal scoring). He has just not looked as quick as last year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
