Not sure that would be universally shared!

. That was back in the days we had Michael Coles at reserve in 06 or 07! The only thing I can remember him for is clashing with Richard Sweetman on the first bend and Sweetman taking a header over the fence.
-
I don't really get Summers tbh if he is next. He's never shown a liking for Ashfield and I can't remember him putting in a decent performance there. Been at the same level for a few years now. I would have taken Pijper back instead, in a strong team he would be a masterful No 2.
-
Surprised at Morris being back, his progress seems to have stalled over the last 2 seasons. Hopefully he is good enough to maintain his average. With the points left to play with I'd still take Rusty as one if available.
-
You can never get your hopes up being a Glasgow fan. I'd settle for a decent No1. Or Friday night racing.
-
He was, but sometimes you just need a change of scene to kick start your potential. We did the same with Kauko when he arrived in 2006 as an annual underachiever from Workington on a 5 point average. He put 2 points on that with us that season and went on to become a decent PL performer.
-
Bollocks! We'll pick him up again in 2016 when his lack of gating pushes him down to a 3 pointer.
-
Four signed up according to club email this morning. Names this Sat at STARS event plus a fifth if concluded in time.
-
He was but I wonder what would of come from Robert Csillik who looked the better of the two IMO when they first arrived. Csillik was chopped pretty quickly and never really got the chance to settle that Nagy got. Nagy never really got to grips with Powderhall and other small tracks, not that it hindered him, he was quite phenomenal in full flight on the big tracks. I'm sure the year he won the PLRC he went into the big league event and made the top 5.

Hopefully the Spring Trophy has been consigned to history, along with the Scottish Cup. Time to move on!

Was he injured? He rode in the Scottish Open this year.

The Worst Ever 7 Your Team Has Had
MD replied to Robinh88's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
That must have been the away matches. He used to slow down to a crawl going into turn 3. Around then we always went with two heavy hitters, if he was any good I'm certain he would have been invited back the following season, especially to partner his mate Parker. -
The Worst Ever 7 Your Team Has Had
MD replied to Robinh88's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Glasgow could have several teams but how about: Corey Blackman Lee Smethills Jamie Courtney Robin Tornqvist Craig Watson Jamie Birkenshaw Simon Cartwright Craig Watson was signed as a replacement for the mis-firing George Stancl and went straight into the PL Pairs and did well. Unfortunately that was his only significant moment, being truly awful at Ashfield. In true Glasgow luck he returned the following season with Birmingham and rattled up double figure scores. -
Many second tier teams also had 3 genuine heat leaders back then, that's how strong the then NL was, though not at Glasgow for most of that decade!
-
Masters on 8.22 would be a number 1 at most other clubs, yet it is not a role I think he is capable of and would IMO find it very hard going leading to his average dropping. Edinburgh have also had great value from Sedgmen and Fricke who have each put over 2 points on their average. They have served their purpose and with Edinburgh not being loyal to riders (not a criticism) at least one from Worrall, Sedgemen, Fricke and Masters will be moved on. Like you say Fox is worth another punt being on a low average and now having done all the tracks There is also Tabaka on a 6.00 who wasn't needed to replace any under performers mid season and I know of a frustrating German who would represent superb value on 6.19 . No doubt another couple of masterstroke signings will be made!
-
True but when True but when one team finishes the season with a team CMA around 50 and the other around 34 its a no contest. Only mug punters would travel to the EH postcode land to see that and we seem to have a few at GLA. I'm all for fans being loyal and sticking with it through the lean times but there comes a time when you say enough is more than enough!

We need to learn lessons from this season regarding fixtures. We will no doubt be forced to not run on the weekend of at least 1 shared event and the British GP therefore we should ensure every Sunday during the key summer period of July and August has a fixture, something that hasn't happened over recent years. I also believe we should make more use of be our alternate raceday ie Monday or Thursday when we are away to other Sunday tracks, GP, PLRC etc. The fans have also demonstrated they have zero appetite for matches with the Monarchs. Time to bin the Spring Trophy, Scottish Cup and any other reason for running against them. I'm all for an opening season challenge before the real season begins so let's see if Worky or Redcar are up for it home and away and let's freshen things up by starting positively in 2015 and not just the usual time served opposition.

Who would buy it fullstop, more like take it on, though they will need deep pockets.
-
Im not aware of anything, merely speculating that the losses cant be covered year after year by the owner before they say enough is enough.

Let's see if we declare as NL or PL next year first!
