Skidder1 Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 At least most Pirate fans have been prepared for losing him. As it was fairly clear from his end of season comments. Glasgow fans will love his swashbuckling style - as long as he stays injury-free!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made up of racers and predominantly young guys who will only improve. Finally no more has beens on "false averages" Does look an exciting Team so far,like you say no “bargain averages “,if indeed there is such a thing!!!

Exactly it's a term never agreed with. Rider has an average over 20 meetings, that's indicative of their form. Very few of these older guys on way down ever come back up.

Steve Shovlar Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) It was obvious we couldn’t fit in Ben Basso from the word go. We are a Wednesday club. How can we sign a rider who rides Wednesdays in Denmark? Good luck to Ben in his future career. I expect him to end up in Poland as the top Dane in 3 years time.

MD Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 37 minutes ago, Jaizer said: It hurts when they go, we seemed to do that for years bring guys over then have them nicked off us once had a real average. Back in days when all foreigners came on a 9 rusty Harrison particularly stung Rusty self destructed not too long after this having been saddled with the future world champion label at Derwent and also suffering health issues by which time we had happily banked the money for him and Aidan Collins not long before. Worky were renowned for throwing money about during this era, quite ironic when you read some of the comments now from that neck of the woods. Rusty came back to us around 10 years later and was decent around Ashfield averaging about 7 overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates Of Poole Posted December 10, 2021 Report Share Posted December 10, 2021 Great signing for Glasgow, well done. No lie really sad he isn't at Poole but can understand with the fixture clashes, but lets be honest on a 5.00 average you have a steal of a rider who will only improve, once dialled in he will be quick and beat other sides heat leaders, which he did at Poole at times with ease!
