TheScotsman Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Garrity being a plonker again. Might as well repeat myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 If there was more dirt on the track surely it is the riders job to "ride to the conditions". It certainly wasn't the worst prepared I have ever seen the place! It was the same for both sets of riders. Some adapted some didn't! Every faller after the second bend bar Morris was a Sheffield rider. Its more likely they came up with the expectation they were going to do a job, it didn't happen and reasons have to be found. The track wasn't the greatest last night, we all recognise that, yet despite all I have read on this thread there was never any request from the Sheffield Team Manager for a track inspection. The reason for Sheffields defeat is their No4 who had he scored the points he threw away Glasgow would have been in trouble. He is oblivious as to how dangerous he is. Best wishes to Ashley Birks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpenRake Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 My take on things as something who was there. The Sheffield team were really up for it resulting in over riding from some. Bates bike must have a homing device as it clearly takes him round the track rather than him being in control. Berge was blocked/took avoiding action at least 3 times last night otherwise there could have been more accidents, he waved to the ref but the race continued every time. wonder what ref would have done if Berge had slid off? Hope they try more evening meetings, tonight we had new track record, lots of incidents/controversy, totally unpredictable results, beautiful weather, good crowd, brilliant burger and chips and a tie nicely balanced for the second leg -worth £15 of anybodys money. Hope Nick, Ashley, David are OK - didn't hear anything other than they were withdrawn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re Injuries: not heard anything about Nick but Tigers website says David was dizzy and sore after his crash but should be ok for our next meeting and unfortunately Ash has dislocated shoulder and suspected broken collarbone so he will be on the sidelines for a while Edited July 1, 2015 by Tigerite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyretrax Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Would be more interesting to see what the ref would if Dimitri had ploughed into Bates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Putting aside the track debates and who knows what and who is to blame. We bring Glasgow back to Sheffield a fortnight tomorrow. Personally I think 14 points might be a bit too much for us to make up, but I remember another Scottish team coming for a Semi Final defending a much bigger lead and we turned them over. So you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romans lovechild Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 so we have 2 up and coming british riders in bates and garrity and people want to knock their willingness to race, not just ride but actually race, then these are the people that actually praise and rave about the inclusion of a 3 point swede at the start of the season, which if the powers that be had any hankering to the future of british speedway would not have allowed to fill up a team space along with the likes of konopka and barrett. lets give british speedway back to the brits and lets get behind our british lads when they take to the track. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANSE Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 (edited) Was the referee asked to inspect the track NO. If you are unhappy with track surely you would ask for track inspection. All the falls were rider error except for Bellego who was caught up in the Garrity fall and he never went to see how Garrity was, Grajzonek was caught behind him in heat 15 and decided the safe place was the centre green. My remarks are based only on this meeting re Garrity and Bates just to clarify Edited July 2, 2015 by MANSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyretrax Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Well said Romans Lovechild. Sounds like some folk want processional races and not proper racing. Yes I want to see racing. I don't want to see riders pulling lockers and baulking riders behind them. The hard part of speedway is cornering, if you can't slide the bike without locking up take up drag racing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 TBF, if you look on his facebook, Jason has accepted the falls were his fault. If it's good enough for him then it should be for the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dakota north lost a place last night through it. Isn't Garrety the top elite draft rider , can't be all that bad can he ?
