Paulco Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 So this is the starter dish before the much awaited Saturday double header . We have to bounce back after last Saturday's lamentable performance and it won't be easy against a Bandits side full of Ashfield specialists . Will THJ remember where Scotland is on a Friday now ? Which Ben Barker will turn up to guest for the Bandits ? And will we show a bit more fight than we did last week . If we get a dry day tomorrow , we'll find out . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he finds some better form after tonight's row of duck eggs at Poole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see that Cami Brown didn’t seem to think that last week meeting should have went ahead ,this weeks weather is similar what chances it will be on ,riders won’t like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we hadn't had such a backlog , then the meeting last week wouldn't have went ahead . And that's the worry , if the same attitude is apparent tomorrow evening , then we'll be there for the taking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the times were in the 56's , so that doesn't suggest the track was really unfit . And the likes of Jake Allan , Ben Barker and Josh Auty didn't seem phased by it . Obviously it wasn't perfect given the amount of rain that had fallen on it on the days leading up to the meeting , but last week's heavy defeat had more to do with our mindset regarding the track , rather than the condition the track was in 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharpenRake Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 I know nothing about track preparation. What I do know is that last week the action on the track bore no resemblance to the racing we had enjoyed prior to the 4 week break. And I don't say that cos we lost. There was nothing entertaining about last week and if it became typical of the speedway on offer I wouldn't be back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem was last week the riders had to "ride" the track rather than just go flat out and turn left at end of straight it was packed that tight with little loose dirt todays riders just cant handle anything that isnt super slick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pride was wounded in that meeting - and I think the riders would have been left in no doubt that a response to that is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandits4eva Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hard meeting to call. If the Rebels get nowt from Armadale tonight and we do it makes it very interesting. I’d like to think our boys have been told to go shee-ite or bust whilst it is still mathematically possible! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenway Bleachers Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Quel surprise!! Weather in South of Glasgow nice, pavements hardly damp,no puddles in the car park which floods regularly. Damage done earlier or no ability to sort the track ??
