Don’t know why clubs keep giving him a spot he’s an embarrassment. Hopefully that’ll be the last time he’s seen over here.

Can't agree with that. Was never a hint of an issue when rode with us. Got shafted by Newcastle on eve of last season too remember for what in hindsight was penny pinching.  Don't know what issues are with him and Birmingham but can only speak of my experiences of Claus and all positive

He did the same thing with the Bandits,gave them a bit “ of a run around”as to when he was going to appear.

Claus is now sitting nicely on an average of 6.73 which makes him hugely employable next year if Brum drop him.

It's better than that...

The end of season rolling averages will be based on just 10 meetings. Vissing has ridden 10 this season (4H/6A) with an average of 5.00.

Not sure if there will be any Newcastle adjustments to be made but I would say he's even more "hugely employable" now!

Please tell me all the Glasgow fans sing this during home meetings right? I'd be disappointed if they don't! :D

No it's not, Speedway could do with a bit more atmosphere.  We had plenty at West Ham in the 60s, atmosphere that is   although I don't remember much singing just lots of cheering and booing

Depends how you view 'hugely employable'. To me, someone unreliable and happy to let his paymasters and team mates down at short notice causing you a major headache and making you scrat around for a replacement makes him 'hugely unemployable' in my view, couldn't care how low his average is. Not beneficial if he keeps going missing... 

Personally I think the authorities should start adding half a point to a riders average everytime they become unavailable without a valid reason to protect clubs a bit

His team mates might  be glad of the chance to get a extra ride meaning more money for them to earn

I do agree re unreliable riders not being ideal. Probably poorly written by myself but I was just noting how much more favourably he could be looked upon by certain teams given that he may be on 5.00 as opposed to the 6.73 average originally mentioned by MD.

If he didn't cause any trouble during his Glasgow days then they, for example, could well be up for signing him in 2023.

Could be part of a Glasgow Masterplan.!!
