Mad Max Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Crikey I thought my lot were bad last week but this result is dreadful. Panthers and now Scunny's result at Glasgow are making Redcar look like a half decent team ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharpenRake Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Well my forecast was a bit out. Have to say the reaction of the fans was good giving the team a great reception on the victory lap. Well done track staff, no dust problem just wish there was a quick way to replace punctured fence panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Positive Thinker Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Well done track staff, no dust problem just wish there was a quick way to replace punctured fence panels. There is --- replace it with a foam fence, like they have at King's Lynn and Berwick. No delays, and much safer, too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northyorksbear Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I have to say this was a bit naughty of Glasgow, having praised Scunthorpe and thanked them for being accommodating with a fixture change, you then totally thump them - it's just not the done thing! Please remember Redcar also assisted in changing for the British semi - I am expecting a bit more leniency in a couple of weeks (30 pts please) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed ace Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Great confidence boost at home, against two teams that did not want to mix it on track. But let's not forget that on Friday night they narrowly lost at Armadale, to a team with a longer tail than the tigers. Not knocking Glasgow, but these home scores were a combination of very poor visitors and imo an improving home team, hope that improvement transfers to away form later this week.

sparkafag Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I appreciate some might argue there are already enough ridiculous rules in the sport as it is but I wouldn’t count meetings where a side hits 65 plus when averages are calculated. It is slightly ridiculous that Glasgow riders are punished for that and Scunthorpe can gain from it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is slightly ridiculous that Glasgow riders are punished for that and Scunthorpe can gain from it. makes sone good sense and also has sound mathmatical principle behind it.It is considered that by discarding the top and bottom say 5% of scores gives a more accurate reflection of a sample. So if using 20 match rolling you would only use the middle 18 scores. However many struggle with a basic average let alone rolling averages and are even less likely im sure to cope with the example i set out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Interesting that Summers made reference to the "track being a bit iffy" at the start in his after match comments. Once again it was excruciatingly deep on the corners for no explicable reason. It was a reasonable week weather wise and not fearing anyone we dont need to adopt a mentality of preparing the track the opposite from what the visiting team are used to. Whilst the opposition were rotten, most couldnt turn the bike properly in their opening rides and a re-grade was requested after a couple of heats. Ht2 was dreadful to watch as Holub had to drive the bike round the corners. The previous week against PB the track had half the amount of dirt but had some decent racing despite the scoreline and thats what i pay to see. Continually preparing the track the way it was on Sunday makes it a poor viewing spectacle when we are trying to grow crowds and wont help us when he head down south to slicker tracks and find our riders particularly the lower order arent getting points because they arent used to it.

Pogo1 Posted May 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Maybe the riders want the track grippy? I agree the opposition couldn't handle it in the first 3/4 races but that's not Glasgows problem is it, Got to say that Summers pass on the last bend was sensational due the fact there was grip on the track as was Garcias round the boards swoop as well on the grippy outside line, Also noticed Summers being a second outside the track record even though he eased up on the way to the line. More sterner tests will come when opposition will come and have a go and attack the track the way the home men did on Sunday. Nobody wants to see results like that and you have to wonder if Scunthorpe were really giving it a go when there ready to make changes to there 1 to 7. To say Sunday was a poor spectacle cause the track was too grippy for Scunny is laughable lol, Summers pass was one of the best I've seen , not being cheeky but why don't you offer your help or advice to the track staff as you seem to comment on it almost every week! Watch The Elite league boys this attack the track and thrive if it's grippy this Sunday the same way Aaron did on Sunday, yes the same Aaron when we signed him last year , you said why sign him he can't ride Ashfield and you would have preferred PIjper, ouch, lol Sometimes being a smart arse can come back and bite you on it, lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Maybe the riders want the track grippy? Summers criticising it wouldnt suggest that. not being cheeky but why don't you offer your help or advice to the track staff as you seem to comment on it almost every week! Im not interested in the mechanics of how it happens but having it the same each week would be good, like it was against Peterborough, plenty of passing from the back. the same Aaron when we signed him last year , you said why sign him he can't ride Ashfield and you would have preferred PIjper, ouch, lol Sometimes being a smart arse can come back and bite you on it, lol Prior to signing for us had never shown any pedigree for Ashfield other than 1 meeting with EDI which was a good few years ago which I based my opinion on. Im happy to have been proved wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I pointed out on another thread recently this is what they used to do in Poland - last twelve matches discarding the best two and worst two scores. Would not only remove scores like the ones of Glasgow riders on Sunday but would make it far more difficult for teams to depress their combined average by riding crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
