Wonder if anyone can get within 50 metres of the Maximum Man? Wonder if Campbell is supplying the welcome mats so we can wipe our feet on the way out? So many questions.... You forgot about how easy it is for Edinburgh fans to climb the perimeter wall at Armadale. The steward's always catch them though, grabbing them by the scruff and telling them to get back in until it is finished.

Welcome to Glasgow Connor, hope he is given time to adjust to UK tracks, will become a Glasgow asset, he has a good pedigree considering he is only 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted May 25, 2019 Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 At 16 its a big challenge regardless of all the other circumstances. One for the long term and with his parents coming with him is hopefully more Nick Morris than Jayden O'Malley. Connor Coles has done a thoroughly decent job in the meantime. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayden O'Malley now there's a name you don't hear often. I wonder why that is? Was he the most disappointing rider ever to wear the red & white stripes?

To be fair to O'Malley he had a tidy style when in the mood however had poor equipment and being 16 was reliant on others to get him around. He didnt seem to get on with the other riders not even the Australians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to say I'm disappointed Connor Coles hasn't been given the chance after the excellent job he's done recently. I've read that the management have been targeting Bailey for a wee while, so can understand the "unfortunate timing" issue but I just hope he is ready for the Championship as he only stepped up to 500 bikes fairly recently. Hope he does ok though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he does ok though. Connor Coles... COME BACK TO NEWCASTLE Also, really glad to see a new face to British speedway, I like to think I follow all the young up and coming riders from Australia, Russia, Sweden, USA etc... But never even heard this name before... Looks an exciting prospect!! However... Not to be awkward... But don't Aussies come in on a 4.00 average? Please correct me and tell me how Glasgow are to construct their team to under the 38.00 limit? Thank you 1. Craig Cook 10.51 2. James Sarjeant 4.54 3. Claus Vissing 6.79 4. Rasmus Jensen 6.76 5. Paul Starke 6.20 6. Kyle Bickley 2.00 7. Connor Bailey 4.00 Total: 40.80??? Even if he came in on a 2.00 average for some reason it'd be above the 38.00 limit... Are the other 6 really dropping that far for next months averages? Maybe Sarjeant out and Coles in then? And the rest dropping their averages let the team drop below 38?

We are replacing a 2 point reserve with another 2 point reserve Team averages would have went up at 1st May GSA and in all likelihood will do again 1st June. But in answer to your query nobody else needs replaced it is like for like average wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Tigers are to be congratulated on their initiative in recruiting a potentially hot prospect, in Connor Bailey, on a 2pt GSA. I'm sure any other clubs fans, including my own, would have been excited at such a move. Such a similar move was done by the Tigers a few years back when they brought in Nick Morris, and look how well that turned out to be. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingersfin Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) Will be surprised if the Tornado is more than a mild breeze at first. Massive step up for the lad and short term CC was probably the best option. I hope to be proved very wrong. However, I think this is a huge signing for the club with his junior pedigree and family support this hungry Australian will come good. Really looking forward to watching him develop. On a 2.00 point average it looks to be a brilliant piece of business and I am sure an additional spot in the NL will be forthcoming.
