Strange to see so many passes from visiting riders but sums up the racetrack we now have. Expand Should also add fantastic crowd again tonight.

UTB Expand Bears had a great chance to turn us over. MBA making his debut scoring 1 from 5, r/r for Paul only getting 4 and a fall from Cookie. So great effort from the boys to win the match. As MD says good enthusiastic crowd and great to see so many kids. And again good fast racing from both teams, can't wait for next Friday.

Young Connor improves by the week and was well on the pace and young Kyle continues to impress he should try the wider line more as he looks in control and a lot faster using this line. But another 3 points in the bag and down to Eastbourne tomorrow night to hopefully make the final , a big ask without Starke who was badly missed tonight but you can never write this team off. Expand It is noticeable that Kyle very seldom try’s an outside pass,Bailey does look a prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Pulled the outside pass of last night of the 4th bend so he is capable and looked very smooth executing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingersfin Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) That was a cracker of a meeting, takes two to tango and Redcar were worthy of their point. The speedway at Glasgow this year is absolutely superb, thoroughly enjoying it. Completely agree that Kyle has the outside line in his locker, if he chooses to use it and Connor getting visibly quicker every week. I thought the second pits camera worked well last night once the signal issues settled down. The 2nd meeting in a row with a very healthy attendance (no freebies), positive signs for the club.

Expand Totally agree , the racing has been brilliant this season and although we sit proudly at the top of the league , we're not hammering teams at Ashfield . Every meeting , apart from Birmingham and Edinburgh , has been close battles . I'm just hoping our new number 2 was riding poor equipment last night as he looked very slow . But 4 wins in the space of 7 days , life is good 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wont be there for long if this is the same every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does come at a cost as meetings become tighter as riders find it easier to race but it depends what rocks your boat. A 60-30 or 47-43? Win or a loss? Being Entertained throughout?

Expand Absolutely entertainment. Since Dickson left the knee deep tracks have stopped along with hitting 60's and even 70 on one occasion against Scunny where it was a total borefest. The last month has been superb speedway, with the visitors all achieving 40 points, like when Ashfield first opened. However the downside is results like last night where teams heavily set up their track to suit the home boys mean we wont beat many teams on aggregate. Food for thought for the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronScorpion Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Tell us about it as over the years we can win on our track then get beat heavily away. Last year, though we almost got it right in the KOC & this weekend, if it had been a cup competition, we would have beaten Edinburgh.
