ruckerroo Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 The hotbed in the woods is a cauldron on busy nights, the likes of ward and woffinden cracked under pressure there in the past. Great job from the eagles mind you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 If reports are accurate on the update site there could well be repercussions for Glasgow Speedway and at least one of their riders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 1 hour ago, SharpenRake said: Looking at updates seems eagles have doctored the track and Glasgow not happy. According to John Cook the track s OK and bowtell and Edwards have been practicing all day and they think it's fine. Thats OK then, they after all are experienced riders especially Alfie who's proved to be a safe sensible rider. I have no affiliation to either team. But surely to allow your riders to practice allday on the day of the meeting will (1) affect the track and could be almost construed as gaining an unfair advantage. (2) be deemed using football terminology, as ungentlemanly conduct by the home team 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillipsr Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Glasgow have become everything the used to accuse Edinburgh of... absolute arrogance and Cook should be banned.. Jensen has been my favourite rider to watch this year but i hope they go on to win nothing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScotsman Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Have the weej not practised on their track on the day of a meeting before? Assume the updates must be biased towards the home team cos they read as if the weej are feeling the pressure from yet another trophy not going in the cabinet! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazc Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Looks like we were second best tonight not that surprised to be honest , big well done to the Eagles and best wishes in the final. No excuses we were well and truly beaten fair and square , but not to down hearted still all to play for in the league were we have been awesome so far , need to get Starkie back asap though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Only the third occasion this season we havent hit 40 points on the road. Sounds like we were beaten before we took the bikes out of the vans, or at least one rider was. He has form for this and over recent weeks the disastrous SoN, a couple of uncharacteristic falls and not winning the British Final have IMO seen his mood go down and we are seeing the legacy of that, very unfortunately. The culture within GLA now is the best racing possible on a smooth track, and the best spectator experience. This is the exception and by all accounts tonight Eastbourne set their track up for home advantage. That is still for us to be professional, rise above it, adapt to the conditions, get stuck in and show we can ride any track. Despite being unhappy with the track before the meeting it seems at no point did we request a track inspection. If it was that bad we would have. This tie was lost in the home meeting a few weeks ago. Tonight it seems we have dented our own hard won reputation. More repercussions are likely to follow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moleman27 Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Cook was a disgrace to his club and should have been kicked out of the meeting. The ref wasn't the best and Vissing even was stupid breaking the tapes for no reason after his bike went before race starting and not making 2minutes. In short Glasgow riders digraced the club tonight! Only good thing from Glasgow was the owner apologising for what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike.Butler Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 Cook was totally out of order but situation was then inflamed by home promotion and announcer over the mike....rarely have I been at a meeting with such ill-feeling.. from what I saw perhaps the ref should have thrown cook out of the meeting... and from what I heard the Eastbourne presenter should be censored for provoking the situation when a wiser head was called for. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapeworm Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 If the reported events are true, and Glasgow management representatives were there to witness them and apologise for them, I wouldn't be surprised if certain riders were immediately released for bringing the club's reputation into disrepute, even if this jeopardises their league title aspirations. Some of the events sound much more serious than setting off a hotel smoke alarm and subsequently arguing with the hotel manager. What a shame that, despite all the time, effort and money poured into the club by the Facenna family, some riders wearing the club colours act this way. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
