Gazc Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Surprised Glasgow did not have Smith back.Was it due to averages ? Jack struggled most weeks on the Ashfield track this move could well act as a confidence builder. Hard to say if it was average related but the team they have signed you would have to say yes it played a part. Hopefully Jack has a good year for the other Tigers and he is back with us next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow's team averages total 42.50 exactly so Jack would have been too high to be their final signing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS550 Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Smith has potential, put in plenty of practice laps round owlerton after hed recovered from his injury Taking after his dad, I remember him as a young kid at Hyde Road going round and round continuously doing practice laps. And look how he turned out. Surprised Glasgow did not have Smith back.Was it due to averages ? Agree with both Gazc and RS50. And with the team Glasgow assembled, a solid top five, and only exactly 2.00 left for the number 7, its a team structure they could use with Sarjeant at 6. So yeah, unfortunately no room for Jack. Best of luck to him in 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flappy Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 That'd be too light at reserve for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romans lovechild Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) is there any need for a strong number 6 now? due to the new tac sub rules both reserves will only need to have a minimum of 3 rides each if they are about the 6 point behind rule in a meeting, then their rides can be taken by inform riders in the 1-5 of the team,as im old enough to remember the old tac sub rule i think this could be an advantage to go for a strong top 5,with reserves capable of averaging around 2.5 to 3.5. lets not forget the strong number 6 should be going out and bombing heat 2,but then is up against an opponent heat leader in his other 3 rides,as well as his own heat leader,i cant see many strong number 6`s maintaining their starting average at the seasons end. p.s. we could see the return of the 21 point maximum if operating r/r.

Best of luck to him in 2018. That was something that Ivan did at Brough in the early 60's. After the meeting, he would fill the tank and do lap after lap. Presumably it was to get used to the track, but it must have done wonders for his fitness, which Ivan was fanatical about. When he was at BV he used to train with Man City I believe.

Fully aware on the announced team average but there would have been several permutations with Jack included. But hope he has a good season for Sheffield he has bags of potential.

Hooky Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) I'd be very happy with the team mention recently... 1 Howarth 2 Bates 3 Wright 4 Proctor 5 Bjerre 6 Smith 7 Wood Would probably arguably the strongest top 5 in the league and I think both Smith and Wood are more than capable of improving their averages. ty proctor heading your way ......... NOT.he like the old Cumberland sausage ! L.O.L.as does charlie boy ..The fact he's close with the Bates family and lives around the corner from Owlerton you'd think it would be a no brainer for him (if we've approached him) LOL Edited December 5, 2017 by Walton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OdsalBoy Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 A lot of people putting Proctor's name about, but has there even been any clues or signs that he could be Sheffield bound ? I could see the Charles Wright signing happen but not so sure about Ty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see the Charles Wright signing happen but not so sure about Ty. . Was told at the pairs that proctor Bewley and Bickley were all worky bound so I fear it maybe Charles Wright who I would have loved to have back at Redcar for 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
