Totally agree with your comments about Pearson, I think Pearson was the only one that increased his average by 1.5 points, and yet those on here were criticizing him. As for next year probably some real Glasgow supporters who saw what I did may well be disappointed. And yes his away form was poor but just think, his last matches away were a lot better because of engine changes - will be very easy to improve from 3.00 - even putting 1 or 2 points on that average. Easy for all other clubs to see that.

I’m a James Pearson supporter.

If I knew what you meant I wouldn’t be asking - but if you prefer to be a smart A@@ about it that’s your choice. It was a sensible ask.

It was his 3rd season yes, which means 3 races on away tracks and only twice at Poole, his NDL season was last year in combination with championship- and on mostly different tracks - I have stated this in my comments so what’s your point? 3 times on a track versus growing up racing on the tracks is very different.

Would love to see young James Pearson in Redcar colours next season.

I completely agree with your comments, unlike the UK kids he has only raced three times maximum on the away tracks and only twice at Poole - surely seeing a 4 point average rider consistently score 8+ at home anyone can see that will also be the same next year on the away tracks. Seems like UK speedway doesn’t see the potential - unlike his Polish club who Flint also rides for but JP average a lot better then Flints. Some very strange decisions being made for sure.

Maybe I’m missing something - but I don’t understand what you mean?

Why not JP?

Well actually no, if Cami and Glasgow don’t see the value it’s there loss. I am sure JP will continue to grow and become a world class speedway rider with or without them.

Why take Pederson when young Pearson who rides already in UK has a better average then him in Poland.

He was bought in at number 2 and should have stayed there. If not for the team changes bringing in completely useless number 4 who managed nothing. Unlike the UK riders this year was only his 3rd ride at these tracks - Poole only his second - so many reasons including wrong engines being used away. His home form alone 4 point rider scoring 7+ points every match is reason alone to bring him back - the team who gets him will see the reward - easy 1-2 point away form change just like this years home form.

Please expand who is the “he”?

Of course he will improve - he is only 19 - this year as an example was only time 2nd time he raced at Poole. Unlike all of the UK riders who have grown up racing on these tracks. He could easily put 1-2 points on his away average. Anyway if Tigers don’t want him the club who does take him will get the rewards just like tigers did this year - a 4 point rider who managed 7+ points at home every week. And yes even when at number 6 he still beat all the same riders.

3 rd highest scorer of the night for Glasgow and scored well above his average - only his 2nd ever race meeting at Poole, 1st meeting was his first year in the league at 16. really don’t know what you were expecting.

Actually no, I realized it when they did it, was hoping it would change back. But thank you for the sarcasm.

Pearson should be riding at number 2 - he and bomber ride very well together. Wrong move putting him at 4.

Congratulations james and Leon, good points.

OK makes sense - its a shame to hear that as it was always a track where you knew it was going to be great racing.

What has happened to the track? Last year the track was amazing - great racing week in and week out - watched last night and the track was just not the same? I’m not an expert and I am not having a go at any of the volunteers- it is just an observation.

What is your problem with Pearson - 1st race for Glasgow wins the race and has a 5:1 with Harris, he came in on a 4.2 average - Currently is home average is 2nd at 7.00 and his 2024 average is 4.96. Started at number 2 and then moved to number 4 and has consistently beaten our number 3 who also races in the premiership of which Pearson doesn’t - what more do you want from him??? My opinion is he and Harris are the only two performing.

Actually It was young Pearson ( not Tate ) who broke the track record in his very first race for Glasgow, which was his first win for Glasgow and it was against Edinburgh and was a 5:1 with Bomber.

He has raced at Poole once in 2022, 17 YO and had never even seen or been on the track - what did you expect? A 15 point maximum? to be honest who didn’t struggle at Poole on their first go at that track. The question is would you be saying the same thing is he signed with you Lisa? Probably not :-)

The only people who mention Darcy was the press, and they seem to jump on anyone who comes from Australia - Darcy has had nothing to do with Pearson’s career, (Jason Crump has been the one who has been by his side from the beginning) why can’t he be just himself - I personally hate how people try and compare new riders with the past - just let them be and let them forge their own identities in the sport.

Apologies - wrong use of the word Asset, yes he belongs to Bellevue but what I meant was he could be a long term rider for Glasgow and race the top tier with Bellevue. Young enough to build a future with the club.
