SilentLurker Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Good win for the Tigers. Thought that Plymouth team looked stronger on paper than what actually turned up. I feel the racing has taken a bit of a decline this season at Ashfield. Felt towards the tail end of last season it was getting better and better each week. Seems as though the majority trying their luck round the outside just goes backwards and once they have worked that out it is follow the leader the round the inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berwick meeting was as good as anything I've seen at ashfield. Even Newcastle had some good moments. Last 2 weeks not been fantastic, but Sunday afternoon always difficult to prepare for and think had to do fair bit of track works after the rain this week, leaving it slicker than usual when sun came out.

Track has been too slick the last two meetings . The Berwick match was terrific , but the last two have been not as good due to lack of grip. Maybe that is weather related , we did have heavy rain yesterday morning, I dont know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torpointfanatic22 Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Didn't think we'd get as close to the Tigers as we did and in the end left ruing a couple of falls / exclusions or we could have grabbed a point. Fair play to young Jason guesting, Dillon however proved to be a shocker. Concern for me is Alfie's away form, from my calculations that's zero points in 3 away meetings in the league (he managed 3 points at Poole in the KOC meeting), his home form is decent but away he needs to start contributing. He seemed unlucky at Scunny from the stream I watched and would be keen to know from anyone there last night if he was anywhere near the pace?

Noelinho Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 It's all relative. Still some good passing last night. Bomber did Craig on the inside and the outside, so clearly he could make both ways work. I was stood at the entry to the third bend and to could definitely tell some made the outside work, and others couldn't, more so than normal. We're lucky we get nights where it seems there's passing in every heat, which I think just means we notice it all the more when there's a little less than we normally see.

SilentLurker Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 A fair point. Probably have it that great these days that it only takes a couple poorer ones to stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow away will be tough for any second string / reserve, as they have no weak links. That said Edwards rode a blinder! But certainly Bowtell should be aiming to score more than 0.

On two occasions HA rode both wheels on the grass exiting the fourth bend and never got rumbled. McGregor would've had him, just like he did with Sarj one time.

HGould Posted May 8, 2022 Report Share Posted May 8, 2022 Its always tough to prepare when rains about. Genuine question, with Steve Lawson spending so much time creating what looks like a masterpiece at Northside are they missing his magic touch track prep wise?

Perhaps that's karma because at home against Scunny Barker was excluded for having both wheels over the white line when in fact he didn't (evidence on the stream). Personally I'd have been delighted if the Gladiators came away from Glasgow with a point. I'll settle instead for 'nearly' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been putting himself out there, even whilst apparently carrying an injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
