Pinny Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Anyone would think Glasgow has been the mecca of speedway for years on end - can remember some awful meetings there over the years just like any track. Talk about sour grapes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Ray tonight was the best meeting of the season and the crowd lapped it up. If you genuinely believe that was entertainment & good racing you are deluded 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Sure track would have been fine if Glasgow had won. Pinny is right, it is a bit of sour grapes. Because no matter the predictions Glasgow thought they just turn up and win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were beaten fair and square but on a totally unexciting and initially over watered track with very few racing lines. Most of the passing was done due to racers faltering by trying to race on a rideable but non raceable track. Very poor entertainment indeed. If we were to never win any major trophies again, I would still rather watch the excellent racing at Glasgow that that which was on show tonight. No sour grapes…..just the truth as I see it. No way was track overwatered if anything should have had more to start with 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Ray the entertainment element always comes before the result it should do anyway.A great result for the Pirates against a confident Glasgow side really nice to see young Nathan score a couple of points in which has been a tough season for him.He will learn quite alot from this year he must be tough mentally and i hope he sticks at it.For Glasgow for me Basso and Brennan are key to there season you don’t always know what you are going to get from them ten points between them not really good anough for there ability.

Talk about sour grapes. I have never been to Glasgow but I have seen a few meetings on the stream and it seems a good racetrack but it is not always good, even last season they had some pretty poor ones,didn't think the racing in the playoffs was great personally. Poole meeting last night wasn't that bad, there was quite a bit of passing early on with Danny King double pass in heat 3 probably the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 Thought the track last night held up well considering the heatwave we are currently having. The track staff worked well and kept the dust away bar one or two heats at the end. But that didn’t stop passing and in heat 15 Craig Cook worked his way past Worrall. Perhaps a bit more water on the track before the meeting. The main this is everyone went home extremely happy. There was someone behind me who was attended if their first meeting and they loved it and said they are coming again next week. Thought it was thrilling stuff. Whil we will probably miss out on top two, if we continue to put in performances like last night and not repeat our poor efforts of Edinburgh and Berwick, we will have nothing to fear in the playoffs. This time we are far from favourites so the pressure is off, expectations low. Can we retain the title? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 A few halfwits booing Ben shouldn't have affected him , he'll need to learn to cope with that. I.know certain riders who used that to spur them on . Disappointed but not downhearted , in the grand scheme of things last night decided nothing , I'm sure we'll be more aware of what to expect if the play offs put us together . Lesson learned , it's still there for us . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just fans way of telling him, they are not happy he left. Prob won't happen again now it is out of their system. Didn't stop him going into Poole side of the pits though! On the other hand Craig Cook will always get boo'd at Poole. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't think it affected him, it looked like his number one bike was working great so he changed it, second bike was better but he was clearly disappointed. It has been said before why he left and I have tongue in cheek mentioned about him doing some Wednesday meetings but the booing was mixed with cheering so not so bad. On the other hand Craig Cook has never ridden for us but as you say he will always get booed at Poole, we don't forgive or forget!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Glasgow fans are blaming everything on it, when it wasn't as bad as you make out. I bet if it was watched back there were more passes last night than at Edinburgh and Berwick put together last weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat 3, King passed Basso back straight then lined up and blasted around Ostergaard. Heat 5 Zack Cook passed CC on bend 4 for CC to re pass next lap. Heat 6 DREW Kemp passed Brennan lap two bend 4. Heat 7 Basso passed B Cook Heat 9 CC passed Zack Cook lap 2. Heat 10 Basso passed Drew Kemp lap 2 Heat 15 CC passed Steve Worrall lap 3. No, there wasn’t any passing! What we have learned tonight is that Glasgow won’t want to draw Poole in the semi finals. just a reminder for those with tinted glasses on .( keep tight hold of that white stick , you may need it later on in life ) or maybe even now .
