I thought there would have been comments on here about Sam’s commentary. Or are people just used to his name mangling? I remember when Andreas Andersen used to ride for Glasgow…..under a different name. As did another Danish rider who seems to have changed his name to Rasmussen.

Did they announce Kvech?

With this looking like one of the most unsettled and least able Glasgow teams for many years, will the promotion - and supporters - accept a mediocre season or will changes be made? I rather suspect the latter. The Tigers are the only team whose 1 June collective averages are lower than they were on 1 May. There are no stand out fails, just, with few exceptions, collective under performance. Alan Dick has good contacts across Europe and I’m sure he’ll be looking for alternatives, maybe a young Swede or Dane? I expect some big changes to come. I thought a few weeks back that a swap with a northern team was a possibility but the 1 June averages have messed that up so it’ll be rider(s) out and rider(s) in. And maybe a little more flair when it comes to the 2025 team?

But who would you replace him with? There’s a good group of young lads but none are at Tai’s level. And none of the “older” guys like King, Wright or Ellis are better. IMO

It won’t be Dan T as he’ll be riding for Plymouth on Friday

And the Thompson twins. Dan is flying this year and Joe knows the Poole track well. And then they also have Kyle Newman.

Just up long enough for it to threaten the existence of this forum.

That’s just naughty

I was trying to be non-sexist and couldn’t think of any other female specific prescription medicine. As you can tell, I know nothing about women

Why?

I’m not convinced that riders are compelled to notify SCB if they’re taking prescription medications. My understanding was that they had to notify testers of any prescription meds only if randomly selected and before giving a test. I can’t see that, as a matter of routine, riders being forced to disclose antibiotics, or, nowadays, the contraceptive pill.

Is the 5% uplift for guests for home matches still available?

That depends on who’s riding at number 6 for Glasgow. I can’t see any announcement, or have I missed it?

First guest booking of the year for Bomber?

“Best interests of the sport” is surely a BSPL matter, not one for SCB?

A week after that, he was banned for a further 30 days so not available until July 5th http://www.scbgb.co.uk/news.php?extend.166.1

Me. I was wrong.

I’ll have some of what you’re on, please My guess is 60-30…..

That’s not how I read the press release which makes no reference to injury replacement. This included the following: “Therefore, we had to sign another rider who will go into our declared 1-7 ahead of our first meeting in a few days’ time.”

No. Because he’s not in Birmingham’s 1-7

I thought he’d been signed on a short term contract not as an injury replacement? The injury replacement rule usually only applies during the season to protect an average. I can’t see any protection is required as there won’t be any major shifts in averages before Pawlicki is due back. First significant change, other than for assessed riders, should be 1 May

Why would Pawlicki serve a 28 day ban? He’s apparently injured so not withholding his services and has been replaced in the 1-7 with a short term replacement.

Better than, erm, Scott Nicholls vs Doyle and Emil?
