Not sure why anyone would be saying no one gave Poole a chance - complete nonsense. Poole may have been marginally helped by having Ruml, but it was a mixed bag, with 9 heat wins from four riders and two riders providing nothing. Sedgemen replaced Brennan’s points well for the Tigers but as others have said, the shuffling of the order did hurt the other riders. That said, I do think it was probably the right decision to do that. Great to see Broc on much better form, particularly his first two rides. Ullrich really pulled it out of the bag in heat 13, very unexpectedly. He might be missing a bit of speed but he delivered under some decent pressure in that heat. All in, good meeting, good points for both teams. Not sure why that would be the case? Riders race for different teams in different countries, so a change in riding order shouldn't affect them much!

Cook had a rare no scoring ride and Ulle was slow as treacle, despite winning ht13 where it looked like he jumped. Ruml was very good value though frustrating to watch him continually pull the same moves out at the fence and pass Glasgow riders so easily. Ht15 was superb, Cook on his own passing and re-passing Lawson to get the win. We must do better at home. As Poole are the best team in the league by far, you have no worries about being beaten at home this year now surely?

Or maybe they just pass more than you give them credit for. As Lawson has passed other riders quite a bit this season tbf. Not sure if it is the same at Lynn @Bagpuss ?

Its coming, we got away with it against Edinburgh two weeks ago and again tonight. Next up is Edinburgh again! A point from either of Poole's no scoring riders would have made it happen. I expected Ben Cook to get a couple of points rather than zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You beat me to it. Pirates are the best team in the league, so unless you want a Polish Extraleague team to take you on, the chances of being beaten at home this season are slim. Poole, Leicester and Glasgow could go through the card unbeaten this year. Plymouth will probably win the rest of their home meetings. But to take 2 points away from Glasgow tonight is a hell of a feat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riders race for different teams in different countries, so a change in riding order shouldn't affect them much! The issue isn’t the riding order/combination. It’s the riders they’re paired opposite. 3, 4 and 5 were all one place higher than usual, as Sedgmen at 2 replaced Brennan at 5, so three riders essentially all went up a place, so it was tougher for them. But that’s what was available tonight, and that’s how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta Posted May 20, 2022 Report Share Posted May 20, 2022 An outstanding speedway meeting on a smooth track. Fair does to Poole for an away team to ride the high line was exceptional. Suggest Glasgow riders should be practising behind closed doors how to do it otherwise trouble ahead. Young riders excelling .Older ones especially Ulrich possibly taking too much on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that’s what was available tonight, and that’s how it goes. I can't say that should make a difference. Ostergaard has the 2nd highest average in the team so could easily be the number 5 rider, Basso can wins heats in the Prem so should be able to handle number 3 and number 4 was easier than number 2 with Ben Cook scoring 0. I think Glasgow are very strong & should be good enough to beat any team (Poole included) at home. They just needed to stops Poole's lower order from scoring so many (easier said than done) as Poole's top 3 are the best on the league.

Very poor tonight. Zac is the better of the two imo. But a great performance when no one gave us a chance tonight. And Havelock is making all the right calls as well! You didn’t give your team a chance.Poole riders done most of the passing .Ruml was superb don't think Kemp would have matched his score or passing abilities.Glasgow will struggle when Basso and Brennan are away at u/21.Getting decent rider on their average will always be difficult.Brennan as reserve at u21 is pain for Glasgow.It is a joke that they have given the German girl a wild card for the 1st meeting.(if true). Another good meeting tonight thought track was good.Ulle seems to struggling,but pulled out a big ride in Ht 13.

While Brennan was legitimate,he was the reserve and never a got a race.The GB meeting in Germany certainly wasn’t official it was a joke meeting for GB riders Congreve even got invited.
