Newcastle v Glasgow (Champ) 15/08/21 1830 hours


Recommended Posts

Well done to Newcastle, they fought hard in every race, shame that there wasn't more home support to enjoy the win, there was plenty Glasgow support . That is the best that I have seen Adam Roynon race, which is good to see considering how many awful injuries he has had. For my team, it was frustrating to see them so twitchy at the starts,the ref was holding the tapes for ages, again well done to the diamonds, hope you can consolidate and build some more support, would hate to lose another team

Couldnt have put it better myself... barely any fans there again... but a cracking meeting, one of the best for years at brough imo... Connor beating Steve so comfortably for the second week in a row and Adam's outside pass down the home straight were the highlights for me

What was the crowd like?

Not as big as expected I think. A lot of Tigers fans including a bus load.

But this season is a learning curve for Archie in preparation (hopefully) for next season. Were not going to do anything this year so what's the point in NOT giving Arvhue the experience and track time. Plenty of better options yes (Luke Ruddick or Ryan Kinsley seems the best ones) but why? Two rising stars next year remember, so Archue should be one of them, and he will have learned a lot by then hopefully from his half season this year :D

On another note, meeting of the season so far tonight!! Every single race was exciting and I dont remember a meeting like that for years.

Shame the crowd was so small... no one got to see how entertaining we were. Especially Adam, Max, Connor and Ben

Well done Archue for being so on the pace.

As for next week, parent Jake Mulford and Dan Gilkes both in the under 19s too? So Kent will be missing noth reserves and well ve missing one... all 3 are 1 star reserves too, so we need to act quick in getting the best one available before Kent do... Jordan Palin and Jenkins are presumably in under 19s also? Who else is available at 1 star. Greg Blair maybe?

Greg Blair is a 2*

What has happened to craig cook? Even at this level looks a shaddow of his former self. Be interesting to see if Glasgow retain him next season, certainly nowhere near the best rider in the league anymore 

Glasgow signed Cook when he was at his peak or arguably on his way down. He was never going to improve his average or level of performance. Glasgow need to rethink their model - they need to find riders with potential. A Kai Thomson for example.

For every Kye Thomson there are 15 Willie Lawsons'. Luck plays a huge part along with getting them on a low average where they can have limited impact on the team if they are sh1te.

I'd have gone for Mickey dyer or Max ruml but was about to make the same point.

No bones about it , we were crap tonight . Poole got 61 there two weeks ago and we didn't remotely look like winning tonight . Some serious thinking needs to be done about where we go from here .

No doubt but Glasgow seem to want to play it safe. Signings like Ricky Wells and Justin Sedgmen aren’t going to get you anywhere really.

It would appear so

That team isn't going to beat Poole or Leicester over 2 legs. Guests doesn't work for me, up until heat 15 even Steve worral was disappointing when he looked perfect choice. Roll the dice make a triple change see what happens. 

Worrall looks to have saved you from a hammering no? I think you need to be looking to your no.1 - he shouldn’t be losing a heat in that company.

7 points from 4 rides? Even Steve Lawson and Shane Parker had off nights

Better than seven from five rides. If I was a Glasgow fan I’d be a bit hacked off with Cook’s performances of late. 

Heat leaders that can't best second strings and a reserve can only beat Willie Lawson are more pressing concerns.

Very seldom against that standard of opposition ( no disrespected to the Diamonds,but come on).5 rides

Was talking about worrall prior to heat 15. Why was he riding at 3 btw, riding order was a mess, surely Steve at 5, wells 4, Jensen 3 made far more sense?
