Oxford vs Glasgow - Champ - 19/7
Noelinho replied to Bojangles's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
The best I can come up with for right now is Sam McGurk. He’s not an upgrade in my eyes. Would he be worse? People will differ on that. One thing that was pointed out to me is, we have 8 Championship matches left. You only want a replacement to ride in 7 matches, because that way, they are still on an assessed average at the start of next season. So, if management want to make a replacement, it would make sense after the next Championship fixture, to allow more options for next year, and for a replacement to build form this year. Realistically, it’s only worth the risk for a rider you want to sign for next year. -

It’s probably worth remembering also that three bikes hit the fence at once, in different places. That’s a lot of force spread out over a much wider area than one guy sliding in. The force of impact has to go somewhere, and if nothing moves at all, that just means all the force has gone straight into the bikes and riders, which would be far worse. -
Agreed.

Yeah, Scott's really got it sorted this year, something's clicking that had been missing for a bit. It's great to see him doing well. -

I’m annoyed. We threw that away. We didn’t need to win - losing by 8 would be fine, easy enough to pull back at home with the boys firing. Just dumb choices in crucial moments. Good to see Marcin on it tonight. -

Bomber should’ve been in with Marcin for heat 15, they were a good pairing tonight. Ben just tripped Bomber up repeatedly. -

His Championship average has gone up, although he's been poor tonight. -
You could have “exclude Wright on the night” too.

Connor was seriously impressive today. Some great passing in that final, committed to the outside and made it work.
-
9 passes in the 7 heats since then.

That's the figure they quoted in 2019, which is why it gets repeated. I'm fairly sure that figure also only includes ongoing running costs, not any capital investment. So next year they want to replace the air fence, at an advertised cost of about £40,000, but I suspect they would count that separately. Quite possibly the same with things like the lighting and the new turn three stand, which I'm sure I read somewhere was going in this week in time for the under-21 final.

Really? 20 meetings at 45 points a meeting, paying £100/a point, would be £90,000 before you even do anything else…

Nowhere better for racing in the UK. Consistently at least the second-best team in the Championship. Constantly improving the stadium and attracting FIM events. Some people talk a lot of bitter rubbish.

Glasgow v Redcar CL 7/7/23 @7-30
Noelinho replied to Paulco's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
He’s put half a point on his average. He’s had a couple of rough meetings recently, but overall he’s been fantastic. -
Glasgow (28) vs (62) PIRATES BSN Final 2nd leg 21st July
Noelinho replied to lbw's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Not much picking and choosing this year. Barely enough meetings to remember what the sport’s like some months. -

Noelinho replied to Paulco's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
The Glasgow promotion were very clear, they didn't want Danyon to leave, and they would love to have him back again. But he didn't fit with the averages. Not sure if Connor was exactly the same situation, but I personally think it was a good move for him to race somewhere else. Good experience for someone still young in the sport. -
Rider Changes in the championship
Noelinho replied to Cast1rn's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Also, maybe they could allow guests who have been attached to (and ridden for) a team in the current and previous season?
