damosuzuki Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Slight change to the Glasgow running order which IMO may benefit Lunna and us. Plymouth without the on-fire Brady Kurtz (part of me wishes he could have made it after his performance at Swindon the other night). However a more than capable guest at Ashfield in the shape of Grajczonek . Glasgow 1. Lawson 2. Barker 3. Worral 4. Lunna 5. Summers 6. Garcia 7. Ayres Plymouth 1. Josh Grajczonek (G)2. Kyle Newman 3. Kevin Doolan (G) 4. Todd Kurtz 5. Sam Simota 6. Stefan Nielsen 7. Ellis Perks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pogo1 Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 I expect this to be quite a tough test for Glasgow, Grajczonek and Doolan can ride Ashfield very well as can Newman. Be strange for Glasgow with Barker knowing it's his last meeting, though I expect he will ride his arse off, he always does, but his equipment is just not fast enough. Glasgow to come through in the end so I would say 50 40 to the home team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeyin Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 noticed that Coty crashed at Fisher's testimonial, will he be fit for this match ? Think the Tiggers will win this but it won't be a walkover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the Tiggers will win this but it won't be a walkover I agree with Pogo1 and Tigergirl plus Sam Zimota has had a few good rides when he makes the gate. Also a bit worried about Fernando; he's had a few crashes this week at ashfield , Redcar and Armadump - anyone know how he is and his machinery must have also taken a bashing. Would we get a guest if he isn't fit and in any case who could score the same as he would. So again could be a close one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 An unremarkable meeting without a pass until ht10 with Barker coming through from last. Both sides uncomfortable with another overly deep track in the first half of the meeting otherwise I wont go there. Definitely not a meet to win any newbies over. Barker checked out with double figures, too late for him after his fate was sealed at NCL last week. A similar return at Ipswich on Thursday would be most unwelcome.

Gazc Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Track in a word was awful to begin with improved slightly as the meeting progressed but not the best meeting when a rider of the experience off Kevin Doolan can't turn the bike we knew then that the track was too deep. Have a feeling releasing Ben will come back to bite us I have been saying since day 1 he will come good and i think it was the wrong decision to let him go time will tell.

damosuzuki Posted June 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Not a great meeting but not the worst either. The perils of afternoon racing in Ibiza Springburn I suppose. A lot of dust unfortunately, but good result for the tigers. Well done Ben, but bring on Rene. Almost feel guilty saying I had a great day after reading the posts above!!!!!

A wiser team manager in the away side would have asked for a track inspection and demanded it be bladed especially the fourth bend where it was dry on the surface but sodden underneath.

Never knew that - was told they waterlogged it yesterday but the assumption we had was it was just dry. Shame if that's the case because the dust was shocking. However the weather was freakishly good all week. Looking forward to Berwick next week but more important points in the bag. In this league you want to finish high. or the play offs could be tough.

jenga Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) looking at pictures on the glasgow site from other meetings , it looks severely over watered all the time . still no dust tho . on another note , you wont see rene gating like barker, so stand by for tantrums about the sloppy track .

I think Glasgow have made a big mistake releasing Barker for his below par performances unless there are other underlying reasons. This decision might just come back to bite them where it hurts most . Especially as he will be riding against them for Ipswich on Thursday night ,I can imagine Ben will be well up for this meeting so expect some fireworks.

lewy Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Barker on good equipment is still a no1 in my opinion on poor equipment takes to many risks to make up for it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Afternoon meetings in warm sunny conditions = difficult track prep. No way of avoiding it. A later start would help Edited June 5, 2016 by Shads 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
