SteveLyric2 Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 Great! A relatively meaningless 'test match' when Glasgow's opponents in play-offs and KO Cup are still awaiting fixture dates!!!! 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds85 Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 When is the GB squad for the SON going to be announced!! I imagine Tai, Rob and Dan are all nailed on and Tom as the under 21? But who is going to be in Manchester out of Rob and Dan? Personally I'd go with Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still waiting to find out who their opponents will be! Similarly they have been waiting since the summer to find out their semi final ko Cup opponents thanks to Birmingham cancelling their fixture with Edinburgh at short notice. Finally the GB meeting is being held on a night that is not their normal or alternative race night. Get a life! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinderfella Posted October 4, 2021 Report Share Posted October 4, 2021 Considering Glasgow could still have four home matches to race and winter weather coming surely this meeting is a bit pointless. I'm sure Tigers' fans would rather see their team especially when things could get expensive? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I mean presumably the announcement will need to be made before Sunday 10th i.e. 6 days before the event... So some point during the course of this week, the squads may be announced?

Send Bartosz Zmarzlik down to Brough I'm sure many of us Newcastle fans would pay triple to see him just once... I'd love to see how he managed to get around our tight bends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologise if I misworded what I meant Teams are not allowed to announce their riders individually - they are submitted to the FIM who then announce them via a press release after the deadline- hence me saying don`t expect to hear anything until a week today.

Will the FIM announce is exactly 6 days before? Or will they announce it as soon as they sign off the squad? 1 minute ago, cinderfella said: He's meant to be pretty good at moto-x too so I'm sure he'd handle bRough Park fine Hey if a test match there ensured your continuation I'd be down in a flash. It's the shape more than anything I can see him trying one of his dive bomb manoeuvres down the back straight and ending up in the overflow car park I don't think there'll be any racing at Brough this year anymore, after all the shale people took on the track walk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's simple, we'll all save money by not coming through to Edinburgh for the KO cup (when's the date?) - sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cup delay is no fault of Monarchs. Birmingham to thank for that one. Feather in the cap for Glasgow getting this test match. Just a shame in October. Could be a hiding for Team GB if Poles send their top 6 riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
