Might make us bankrupt as well, Flyin wouldn't come cheap. It would be classic Glasgow though, all top end and no ........................

Whoever it was they were right and should never have given in. The down side is that a precedent may have been set.

Interesting signing. How many points does that leave us for the last 2?

Quite incredible, I have anothing but praise for Shielfield stadium and its facilities, as a regular visitor. It is worth wondering what needs updating, the stadium IMO is far from outdated or run down, and very comfortable to watch the racing from a seat in the main stand. You should see the sh!t hole I watch at each Sunday and the lack of facilities they get away with providing. Unless the costs to much to upgrade reason is a manufacture to publicly justify a sale?

All gone quiet on here, and there ain't many riders left to sign!

He is also inconsistent, just ask Scunthorpe and no doubt very expensive to fly in every weekend when Glasgow don't have money to put about.

No chance, though I see Max Dilger hasn't been named in the Redcar team. Would be an excellent reserve on 4.12 if he was avalable. Think we are running out of options looking at the number of riders already signed up.

Campton finshed the season off at No2 but wasn't really in good form. At reserve for Glasgow he was lost without Screen telling him how to ride when they were both paired up at 1 & 2. Be interesting to see how he fares at Worky.

Next season will be a big year for Josh, being his sixth season in the UK and hopefully one where he break's through into the top rider he has shown glimpses of. He was absolutely woeful in the middle part of 2012, getting over his injury was probably a factor but so also choosing the wrong track to double up at, in Belle Vue. The fast track at Somerset will lend itself well to Josh's style, I hope he does what Craig Cook did at the start of this year and give himself time to gain confidence in the PL before looking for an EL slot in the early summer. Quite a team being constructed at Somerset now that Nick Morris has also signed on.

Interesting team manager, didn't see that coming. I'm sure Sean Courtney also did the same for Berwick for a short time in the mid 2000's. Does Michael Max figure in the new setup? All has gone quiet signing wise.

They are still shell-shocked after the Bellego farce!

The more I think about it, he seems worthy of his chance. The costs of air fares, transport and accommodation for another untried Aussie could be put to better use. It would also make us stronger from the start with more points to play with, and no reserve in the 1-5. Any appetite for another assessed unknown from Australia have all but evapourated. Perhaps when we apply for a work permit, the authorities will be less accommodating than they were with O'Malley. With this being the re-launch season of Glasgow Speedway and a drive to re-engage lapsed supporters there is little so far signing wise, that will inspire them to come back. With Friday nights now out of the question, a signing just to excite the die hards that turn up week in week out wouldn't go amiss.

Ouch, surely we are smarter than this after what 2012 brought. I wouldn't have Tully, average far too high for us to benefit. For a reserve spot I would look at someone like Max Dilger who has gone well at Ashfield. The Raj K must also be due a return to the UK, at reserve he would be decent and higher up the pecking order than Chazzer Wright in my opinion. If we are starting with a reserve in the main body we need experience at reserve, not a weak 3 pointer.

Hitting 30 is a decent target. Wethers would be a good shout, testimonial over, would start as a second string with no pressure and no hassles of being club captain. I thought we were done with assessed Aussies, hope he will be signed on a 2 year deal. Thereafter we dont have much to play with, Nicki Barrett would do, surely Berwick owe us a bit of goodwill. Racing continuing on a Sunday is a bit of a pisser, reading ET we were apparently turned down. Anyone know if that rejection came from within or outwith the speedway fraternity?

Not seen any mention of Kozza Smith, has he retired, or just been forgotten about?

Sneddon coming back then!

Wethers on 5.79 would be a decent signing for someone, especially as his testimonial season is now out the way.

Who for? A new track could be the real making of Tully.

Joe was really poor at times away from home last year. Josh and Mason were givens that they weren't returning. Looks like a complete change in approach with the new owner putting his own stamp on team building. Perhaps we will know more after the STAARS event on Saturday.

And Scunthorpe are full up too!

Glasgow seem to have offloaded Campton to Workington on a full transfer, just like Rusty after his first season in the UK with Glasgow. I wonder if the sale was part of the deal agreed by the old promotion to pay off some of the debts.

Glasgow have played their part in this sorry saga by not signing him up again for 2012 and putting the matter beyond doubt. It was obvious he was a real find, having more than achieved his starting average of 5 in a short space of time. Instead we signed two 5.00 point Aussies, one of whom we had to go begging to the authorities for a work permit, who it turns out were right to initially decline that he wasn't up to standard. The other hasn't quite achieved his assessed 5.00 avaerage but won't ride for us in 2013. I am acutely aware our 2012 signings were to cut costs, and we couldn't agree terms with Bellego, but the risks had been taken to get him into the side and he confirmed he had something about him. Quite incredibly he then signed for Berwick who I refuse to believe Glasgow couldn't match wages with. Some harsh lessons have been dealt with this and Campton's non return. Hopefully the new Glasgow owner will become a more shrewd operator.

Still waiting on news from the talking shop. Usually somethings have come out by now but its very quiet. Perhaps they are still ongoing!
