Poole Vs Glasgow 28/09/22 play off SF 1st leg


Recommended Posts

Simply appalling performance from Glasgow & really have next to no chance in the return leg now. 
Glasgow still stuck at ground zero. 
Fair play Poole & they would of been well fired up after Sundays farce but it didn’t need anymore spice as Poole are already a monster at home.

Any Tigers fans that weren’t there last night might be pleased to know that Danyon was in the pits throughout supporting his team.

They definitely missed him but he wasn't the main issue last night. Basso, Craig Cook and Brennan only got one race win between them.

One thing to note. The swap deal between Poole and Glasgow for Lawson and Basso certainly came out on the Pirates side. Not for last nights score, but for overall value. 

There is no doubt that Basso will be a top rider with a high chance of a GP career. But he could well be gone next season from the Championship, while Richard Lawson has at least three more season in him before his career ends.

All these comments about the Poole track and Glasgow providing 'great racing'!!!!!  Have Glasgow attendances increased at all with all this 'great racing'?

The track was excellent last night and produced good racing and lots of passing, the trouble some have is that we were doing all the passing! Even Ablitt pulled off a great pass and defended it well.

to be fair, Glasgow IS one of the best tracks and DOES provide great racing .. attendance, no idea

Captain's shouldn't be picked just ability, experience should be taken in to account. Danny King has bundles of both 

When Hume was interviewed he sounded like the captain! He hit the nail on the head about the Glasgow riders not passing on info about the track between themselves and between the races and doing their own thing. He said he was trying to give them feedback about the track and said how they need to be talking to each other!

You haven't been at Ashfield and been royally entertained by Benjamin Basso each week.

Richard hasn't ridden for Glasgow since 2017 and is now southern based so wasn't going to ride for the club, all they were going to get were loan fees.

Basso signing for Bydgoszcz in 2023 might mean he will not be back at Glasgow next season but Premiership club will still want him so Glasgow could get loan fees for years and years.

Exactly. I'll take getting smashed in the playoff semi finals and watching a madman leaving me with my jaw on the floor with ridiculous moves, over winning the league, every time.

Excitement is far more important than winning for me.
