From the outside looking in its leadership that appears to be missing in the team. Cook abdicated the captaincy, Ulle took it on then got injured, Brennan was next in line but he's not experienced enough and not the personality for that type of role IMO. Danyon alluded to it at Poole that no one was talking to each other to make changes and get things going. Contrast that with the Poole pits where Lawson and King were trying to start Z Cooks bike for ht1. Im not sure the riders are as well paid as you believe but agree they appear to be a collection of individuals this year. Broc seems to have been in a world of his own, just jogging along at his own pace regardless of the opposition or event.

Promoters and riders appear to be the biggest problem, it should be the BSPL telling clubs when fixtures have to be run by to stop this nonsense. God forbid there should be an outbreak of common sense.

Think you will be right but he has made himself much more marketable to others with that average.

Good points but the same weaknesses have persisted all season. Nicol looks like he's never ridden Ashfield before.

Poole peaking at the right time, Glasgow absolutely gutless. Time for change in 2023.

You should work for the BBC with that s-h-i-t stirring narrative.

To support Glasgow? No chance.

Agree with all that except Fredricksen, wouldn't touch him. Hook might be worth a punt if we thought he could progress though looks like he can't drop below a 4.00. Sarj could be in demand next year if the points limit is driven down. We could have done with Ulle's sharp gating last night just like he did down there in July. Claus Vissing 5.00, Jake Allan 6.30, Dillon Ruml 5.47, Ricky Wells 5.20, only kidding .

Overhauled coming off the second bend. No one could make up ground on the rider in front not even the Poole heatleaders in the two heats Glasgow actually gated.

Took Grajczonek off on the fourth bend in 2018 or 2019 when riding for KL.

The gating was great, the racing non existent. When Poole gated the races were strung out. When Glasgow gated the races were strung out. Goodnight Vienna as a contest by ht8.

Looking at 20 pages of this p1sh and more on the Glasgow thread Im not sure its the success people resent so much.

FFS its Poole, they get accommodated above everyone else. Educate yourself and learn your place

Going to be frosty though. Poole Speedway having Poole things done to them, we know thats not how it works.

Nicol has had his bike in the van most of this season.

Poole likely furious they've been dictated to, dont we know who they are!

Our nearest rival team would then become Manchester and 7 would be an uneven amount for a league, not undoable, but would be better with another team joining to make it 8. However whats the benefit for us, with the exception of Doyle, Holder and Fricke we see all the other riders in our league anyway. I've also got issues with propping up the big league, the second division is our natural domain, the BSPL and its predecessor have done little to support it over the years and would happily collapse it if needs must, to protect their precious Division 1.

Looking at the updates for Poole v Leicester last night there was no mention of track grading breaks. Not sure if this was actually the case but with Poole gaining momentum from ht8 onwards it would seem common sense not to change a winning feature. Wonder if Glasgow will do this on Sunday?

Just this year? We could have started our season the first week in June and still accommodate the playoff next weekend. Be interesting to see if the crowd drops off, it'll have been 7 weeks since our last home meeting. Its very easy to lose interest, especially with the nights now becoming darker and colder.

Glad its not just me. The absolute lack of meetings this year and a lacklustre Grand Prix series have made the whole thing go flat. Four home meetings in the last nine weeks when the weather has been at its best is criminal.

Good meeting, good stream, great result. Redcar used the extensive track grade after ht8 to their advantage to turn the meeting back in their favour. Same extensive regrade after ht12 but didnt quite have the same effect. Use everything within your control to maximum effect as the home team. Wonder if anyone from Glasgow noticed? Asking for a friend.

Crump was the biggest moaner known to man on the GP circuit in his era. He was endlessly at Ole Olsen to have tracks ultra slick to suit him and him only, and always had to have the loudest voice. No way would he have ridden that track 15 years ago, he would have lead a rider walkout or tried to. Amazing how he sees himself now with that comment.

But will they be hoodwinked in 2023? The event date is being released on Monday.

Perfectly, chequebook recruitment is best!

What date did Berwick actually apply for the visa is more to the point. They can only trundle out the current visa narrative for so long, its become tiresome. Why not come out and say we are protecting Knudsens average for 2023 and be done with it.
