What an absolute shambles, 3 riders scoring 33 points, 4 riders only 8.Another waste of space of a guest,

Hagon should just retire NOW. Who is picking the guests, Dunderheid Brown ???.

Somehow we managed to get the bonus point out of this fiasco.

Hagon last 4 meetings there he hasn’t scored a point,he’s awful there and just proves he can’t turn the bike.

think Foord wasn’t a bad choice in guest it was Edwards but he can be hit and miss atm one week he looks unbeatable then he’s bang average.

Why no unbeaten joe thompson in heat 15?

That's the downside of having a stronger rider (especially at home) at number 2. Joe's last programmed ride in heat 10, so track can change a lot before heat 15, although he was then used in heat 16.

I would have Klima at 2, Joe at 3 or 4, if only at home?

Then get jobs with a new club and can win manager of the year 🤨

Jason Edwards did score 11+2 on hid last visit to Plymouth, so don't think you can blame Glasgow for selecting him as a guest.

All the guests will be weaker as Glasgow can only pick riders up to 75% of Howarth's average.

I was surprised Glasgow didn't find anyone, along with Poole, think there a club that would find a rabit out of a hat?

What did he do?

Bomber is a hard charger we all no that brilliant to watch still but as Plymouth is such a small track to me I think he was a bit to over zealous and tried to put him in the fence, I imagine the fine was for what happened after the race when Ben b went to say something and bomber turned the bike deliberately into barker and knocked him to the ground, bit of handbags really , the worrying think for me and I never thought I’d say this as for most of the season he has been brilliant is Danny kings form, not putting him in heat 15 , or the super heat. Troy batchelor though was so good a brilliant guest.

Cos he is or was a major sponsor. So you can't sack a man who puts ££s into the club

After tonight he hasn't scored a point for 12 heats and looks completely at sea. I don't see him turning it around anytime soon unfortunately.

Its all gone wrong for him at the wrong time of the season for us.

Troy was a great guest and very unlucky to get excluded in heat 15, he did a very minor twitch which 9 times out of ten most riders would get away with.

He should not be at 2 especially at home.

That’s incorrect Glasgow can still use Kyle’s full average (+5% at home) both Anders Rowe and Jason Edwards average is above 75% of Kyle’s.

The 28 day facility runs till later this week and I would imagine an extension will be applied for and granted under rule 10.5 K

‘retiring during the current season a facility will be granted for a period of 28 days. After which the team must re-apply for a further facility to the SCB Co-Ordinator outlining the steps they have takento find a replacement. An extension may be granted.
 

In these circumstances a rider cannot return to ride for any club within 28 days, effective from the date of notification to the SCB

Thsnks for the clarification, as Glasgow had been using 6 point guests for an 8 point rider, had assumed the facility had run out, mustn't have been any 7 or 8 pointers available.

I hope the facility isn't extended, far too many guests are used in all leagues, but if clubs know they don't have to sign a replacement, why even try?

I'm not suggesting Glasgow didn't try, but maybe they found a 6 pointer willing to come, but decided guests would be stronger? Not just Glasgow, all clubs.

No he is only interested in slagging off Poole's track at every opportunity.

I can only think fellow cornishman Ben said something to him but Harris reaction was awful and out of character.
