DJEuan Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 If glasgow get Bewley,lunna,smith as 3out of the 4 can't see many teams stopping them. We'll it's happened. Hopefully your right in your prediction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 With Nike Lunna & Dan Bewley completing the team I am really looking forward to watching these young guys next season. Nike is absolute class round Ashfield and I think there is every chance if he stays fit that he will have the biggest improvement in his average. Lots off ifs and buts but this could turn out to be a really formidable team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) You simply can't overstate young Bewley. I first saw him at Cradley in the Colts opening NL meeting and it was clear he was something special. A few days later, he banged in an 18 point maximum in the inaugural match at NSS. That wasn't the best, though. Riding for Edinburgh at Newcastle (where he was subsequently injured) he went round Steve Worrall on bends 3 & 4 like Worrall simply wasn't there. At the time, Worrall was one of the top riders in the PL and averaging well over the 10pt mark at home. It was truly astonishing and one of the best single rides I saw anywhere last season. If he has no after effects from that injury and steers reasonably clear from any more, I can see him being a heat leader at Ashfield next season. He really is that good.

Panthers89 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 If Bewley kicks on then could be a good season for Glasgow. They need the lower end riders to kick on though...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackAlexander Bestow Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 John Campbell first lost his hairline, now it's the services of Dan Bewley lol! Dan will be good, solid 7 or 8 points everywhere he goes! It really benefits him that he's tiny height wise making the bike easy to ride, and most of all he isn't afraid to pass and isn't hit headed either! Role on March!

george.m Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Now that Dan has signed and he's doubling up with BV, so glad Edinburgh rejected our Friday night application. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyretrax Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Good luck to the lad shame that us and belle vue both ride Friday. No dogs now, you should have gone for Sundays. Then Glasgow could have blocked it (our alternative day). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy The Rebel Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 We'll it's happened. Hopefully your right in your prediction. I think the only team that has equal strength will be sheffield with ipswich close behind in 3rd. Can't wait to see how Bewley gets on looks a great prospect. And a brilliant team built by glasgow again. Top marks to the promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Really good side. Bottom end has bags of potential to back up a super strong top 3. Will start with ge favourites tag IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 If Bewley kicks on then could be a good season for Glasgow. They need the lower end riders to kick on though...... I'm confident that will be the case . We know what the three heat leaders are capable of , so that's the solid and dependable base from which to work from . Nike is a club asset and the entertainment value he brings made him a certainty to be back . He's one of those riders who can light up the most boring meeting by missing the gate and thrilling us with his efforts to get past the opposition . When Peterborough came to Ashfield in the league in 2016 they were very ineffective , Ostergaard got going all too late in the meeting , but the only back up he got that day was from Tom Perry . And that wasn't the first time his performances has impressed the Ashfield viewing public . He had made the progression from three point number seven in last season's Peterborough side , into their top five before injury interrupted his season and ultimately cost him his place . He'll start at reserve and will resume his progression . Jack Smith is a raw novice , but has a fine speedway background and there is no better place for him to cut his Championship teeth than Glasgow . Then we come to the seventh rider to sign , Dan Bewley . We all saw his incredible progress last season , he went from a wobbling novice round Ashfield to beating Richard Lawson in a time a fraction outside the then track record in the space of a few short months . The world is his oyster in speedway terms and his presence in our side epitomises the exciting potential the whole team exudes . March can't come quick enough now . There looks to be a few decent looking sides that will come to the tapes in the Championship , and while I respect them all , I wouldn't swap my side for any one of them . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Really good side. Bottom end has bags of potential to back up a super strong top 3. Will start with ge favourites tag IMO. Its a good team if the bottom end live up to potential but if they don't the top end can be suspect when the going gets tough.Looks a tight league next season though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 That bottom four has enormous potential and the three heat leaders are proven. Going to be right up there along with Sheffield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Apart from the KO Cup final of course .Correct,but I think even you would admit Newcastle were pretty poor in the 2nd leg.You have a good Team though.I thought last season the heat leaders all had turns of inconsistency at various meetings throughout the season.

damosuzuki Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 It's going to be a very competitive league. Delighted with our side but once again Sheffield look cracking to me. And let's see what Edinburgh pull out the hat. Hopefully the new format works and it's a good year for speedway GB. Why not! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupidstunt Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Bewley is a decent rider but he only had an handful of good scores in the PL last year and the crash was always on the cards as he rides on the edge and a bit out of his depth but that is only a lack of experience. Glasgow have replaced Bach with Bewley cant see that been any better than last year and they only won a cup which to be fair was a little lucky as they beat Somerset who at the OTA had 4 riders on the night i believe. Nike Lunna rode at either 6 or 2 last year and stepping up to riding at 4 is a big leap which may be a little bit too much for him, he will be riding in the same position as the likes of hansen,Berge,Newma who are far better riders so Glasgow will need to have the bottom 4 on form at every meeting incase the big 3 have a bad meeting which always happens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
