mervjankefanclub Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Pretty sure they said the ex-GP rider was based in Poland or Polish or that might have been a Polish rider who they also spoke to. Apparently they spoke to numerous riders including an EL rider whom they said was more than happy to come and right up for up it, until he found out Glasgow raced on a Sunday ......must have thought it was still Shawfield on a Friday night, gotta love these riders who stay in the loop.............of course I may have picked it all up wrong as I battled manfully to stay awake during Sunday's meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyretrax Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Jonas Raun seems to be the name in the frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DW Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Polish riders can ride in the PL with a UK licence like Rajkowski last season The quote about the GP rider is just a rehash of what Alun Biggart mentioned on Sunday, so it isnt new or others talking out of turn. I actually don't think its Raun as I can't see what would hold up his signing. In fact it seemed to be a Swede that was suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 It seems to me that Adam Roynon seems to really have confused matters at Glasgow, As many thought and hoped that he would come back strong in Kaukos meeting and that Leicester would release Magnus Karlsson to go to Glasgow with the rider himself saying he would be keen to go there if required. If Leicester were to keep Magnus then Glasgow could look at Roynon BUT that is all in an ideal world and has not happened as Roynon is not ready for league return yet and has a high average to live up to so massive gamble for some club to take on previous meetings this year. If he was to return now from what I have seen and have been told if he was to join a team now can see his average score being 4-5 but how is the lad going to get his confidence back and the racing skill back without regular racing with 4 riders in proper races, its all well and good blasting round Brandon or Sheffield on your own or with an other but not true racing where points and money at stake. The rumoured GP rider I think may have been Ales Dryml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheggie Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Confirmed as Jonas Raun 5.63 that joins the Tigers, alongside Andre Compton! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 taken from the glasgow website Andre’s level of performance was the determining factor and we are delighted to advise that we now have Management Committee approval for him to join the club, initially on a 28 day contract, as agreed to by his parent club Sheffield. Having been out of the saddle for the best part of 3 years, Andre’s starting average has been re-assessed at 5.97. just looked up his average from 2010 with workington was 5.97 ? so how has it been re-assessed ?

BRITISHSPEEDPOWER Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Andre was a good hard rider who lost his enthusiasm for the sport as opposed to his guts,bottle ,balls, whatever! Seems like he's up for it, so could we see the Compton of old? Fast, aggressive and a good team man. Coupled with the fact that Crazy Ringwood goes to reserve Glasgow may have the makings of a good team. Still think Berwick will win sunday though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hmmm... usual treatment for Glasgow then. Usual treatment? You mean sticking to the rules? You don't get a reduction for retiring. It's either injured for 12 months (sometimes they're lenient on that one by a few weeks) or you miss 3 season, Andre has missed 2.5 seasons. Plus I thought he looked good and was Glasgows saviors, so a 6 point average should be no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Duppcomic Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Great move by Sheffield. Gives them an option in case the fixtures are disrupted and the rider they have lined up loses patience, AND if the upturn in form of certain riders is temporary.

Hel'n'Back Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) I think the upturn in form by certain riders was temporary after watching tonight's shambles at Scunny! Edited July 13, 2013 by Hel'n'Back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave aka TheRealDL Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Good Luck Andre ! Judging by those after match spins at Sheffield, the Glasgow fans will finally have something to shout about ! Just remember those "Scottish Notes" won't be legal to spend back home 'come devolution' ! (Sorry Kirstie x) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevH Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Jonas Raun has now been released by Glasgow. There's only six days to go until their next meeting, so who is favourite to replace him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
