She will be telling us soon she can’t recall how a £100k camper van ended up on the driveway. I am sure that the people who donated large sums off there hard earned that disappeared will be looking for a time-share to use for a jolly two weeks a year.. A good accountant could probably ruin her once and for all come to think of it we could utilise your skills for this. My bosses received one of those well publicised emails from them a few weeks back, asking if our firm could do the SNP audit. We politely declined 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barabas Posted June 24, 2023 Report Share Posted June 24, 2023 Tigers up against Poole at the weekend in bsn final & just in case anyone at glasgow isn't paying attention our reserves are not good enough to win anything this year its as simple as that , whoever stupid idea it was to get a complete novice 16yr old & an aging 40yr old out for a decade needs locking up , ace on a 2 is a project I get it but lee doesn't look the part at all he's had time & I don't see it at all looks heavy on bike slow lacking power & not competitive enough we need a good reserve because ace isn't expected to be that man I feel for Lee he's well liked but if tigers want to win anything then they need to look at his position sadly lee has a new baby maybe it's time to say enough he's tried national league is his level & he got 4 points in that other week say no more 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reserve. As soon as Basso was brought in you had to go weaker at reserve. It was either weaker in the main body of the team, or weaker at reserve. Look at every other team in the league and the majority are carrying a two pointer. The only reason Poole look stronger is they have Zach and Ben on ridiculously low averages. If it stays 40 points next year one or both won't be there. On the Lee front, yes he's struggling massively but please point out another 4 point rider that could go in his place? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as you brought it up... Could always base the team around them next season. Depends what averages they finish up I suppose. Be interesting to see what their July averages are. Redcar are their second choice btw Anyway back to the Glasgow team changes! Edited June 27, 2023 by lisa-colette 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to make any change until the 27th August when the Chicken bones and dice come out. Have a punt at a 4 pointer or NDL wizz and see how we go. If not back to the drawing board for 24.

Given we didn't go for hook or Pearson I think the 1-7 will stay same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Playing devils advocate here and asking a serious question? What's to stop a Team NOT making the Play Offs releasing a reserve / low average rider prior to final Match they have in the League? Would that enable a Play Off Team to pick up the released rider prior to the Play Offs provided it was before transfer cut off date and the averages fitted.

He and Max Perry (I think) will be the couple of 15/16 year old riders who will get picked up once they can race in the Championship. They will be a steel on their averages.

I think that sums speedway up i.e if the points limit stays at 40 they could lose both Cooks next year. Madness if you think about it. Maybe time to scrap points limit. Let teams sign whoever they want because this system definitely doesn't work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-D A are 8.01 and above, B are 6.51-8.00 C are 4.51-6.5 and D are 4.5 and below. You then make up a team with 1A, 2B;s, 2C's and a D.

Basically what's to stop one of the Play Off Teams who may perceive they aren't as strongs as another perming the best 2 available reserves from the Clubs not in the Play Offs IF any of their reserves would strengthen them.

If there are 8 A grade riders available one team looses out (probably the one with least financial clout) and they can't compensate by having strength in depth because you still require two C's and a D. If there are 10 A grade riders one misses out completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good for the crowds, I would suggest when said HL teams face the other team who's number one has a 5pt average! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grading system would be riddled with riders manipulating averages to be just under each grade limit imo Edited June 27, 2023 by Jaizer .
