Chewbacca Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Not a bad meeting despite the scoreline. A couple a cracking races when Lindgren passed Screen and Robbo passed Grievesy. Bager looked much happier once the ref allowed him rolling starts. Might help his confidence though. Strange decision to give the pointless Ringwood a tac ride and not Joe Screen. Someone will have explain that one to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Really would have liked to have been at this meeting but can't due to late return back home. School night. Does anyone know if an earlier start on a Bank Holiday has been considered for this regular fixture? Perhaps it's been done before but not worth it? Tsunami perhaps? Sorry, just seen this George. For a number of years we used to be at Glasgow at about 12 Noon, and the return was back at our place for about a 7.00pm start. Very frantic, especially if you got injuries in the first match, or if riders had mechanical probs. Although a fans favourite on a Bank Holiday, it was not always popular with the riders, and eventually agreed Glasgow on the Sunday(they have priority) and Newcastle on the Monday when it is always a local holiday, as opposed to Glasgow.

NJC71 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Some decent racing despite the scoreline. Track was good early on but after it was wattered it seemed to cause problems to the riders around truns 3 and 4 which spoilt it a bit. As mentioned Glasgow's TR decisions were odd. Grieves had a very poor first ride and was then given a TR against Robson and Lindgren which always looked a nailed on 5-1. And then Ringwood who had struggled was given a TR in heat 8, again against Robson resulting in another 5-1. The TR's were never going to impact the result but better use could have made the score more respectable. Good to see Steve Worrall riding with a lot more speed and confidence. That was more like it. Seems to be going ok again at home now and just needs to transfer that to the away matches. Lewis again rode well, what a signing he has been. This was always going to be a big home win. Glasgow are clearly trying to build up assets for the future and although none of the new lads really stood out it's an understandable approach from a new promotion in difficult financial times. Worth perservering with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tsunami. An afternoon start at Newcastle in future would be appreciated if you have any influence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run the training school in the afternoon, but I am sure we will have a bike for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
