For some reason not all teams have new averages. Only those teams that rode between 23 Sept (cut off for last averages) and 26th Sept (end of regular season) have new averages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 I know unrelated to the thread but glad to see Jack starting to make some progress. Looked like had talent when rode for us but seemed to have stagnated. Was on less than 3.75 a few months ago (guested when we needed 75% of Marcin's 5.00) so to have got up to 5.00 in couple months going in right direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Weds not sure that is a good idea considering how far apart the clubs are imo. They all need their beauty sleep before a final 2nd leg! Yes, probably would require moving second leg. But even if Tuesday is dryish, with all the rain we’ve had and will have, the track will be a state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there are things you can do to help the drying process even if you can't use sawdust and if Tuesday is dry all day then the meeting should be on.

lbw Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) Supply the crowd with chilli baked beans then do a track walk. Sorted! Edited October 30, 2021 by PirateShip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if they did move it to Weds, hopefully Poole move theirs to Friday, which is a lot better for me! Which also would mean riding on each others preferred race night! Lol.

Steve Shovlar Posted October 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 They are giving Monday and Tuesday mostly dry.

Bagpuss Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 Glasgow need to hit Poole really hard in the first leg to have a chance but I just cant see it with the Pirate's heat leaders and star reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restaurants could be very busy I will check it out thanks. Glasgow airport(air side)closes over night, pre departure has seating but only food is Starbucks not sure it is 24 hrs so stock up with sarnies and soup toilets open(you may need if Glasgow performs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the team are on good form. We are not carrying anyone and if a rider has a bad meeting, then we have a good reserve. However, Ben Basso has not ridden at Glasgow so will take 2 races to get used to it. I do expect Glasgow to take a lead to Poole. But will it be enough?

Nope as he's not replacing a rising star. His actual average comes into play for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hume also had a great meeting there but I have a feeling he may struggle at Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
