In what way do you mean stealing , has he signed a contract with someone?. Serious question as I have not saw any confirmation he has signed a contract with someone.

But also heard you may have stole or have tried to steal a young Aussie from the pirates. Just need to wait and see. @Gazc Just going on this post and taking it at face value. But tbf both Poole and Glasgow are very strategic when announcing riders, so could have signed a contract weeks ago and not know about it for another month, especially if team isn't complete.

Jaizer Posted November 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 More than 1 team offering an unattached rider a contract, because one of the teams is Poole the other teams trying to steal. Who knew 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehone Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 wonder if clubs are looking at another Dane, someone like Juhl Pedersen, he'd do a decent job but no idea on his clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Eck Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) With the sweeping changes at Glasgow - is there anyone other than Basso and (maybe) Brennan left? - it would be a strange move to bring Chris Harris back. He had a very good 2022 and was undoubtedly the king of guests but, at 40 years of age now, was this his last great year? Looking through this forum, it seems very few people want him which has to tell you something. Is it his age? His stated desire to concentrate on the European Grasstrack and, especially Longtrack events? His lacklustre performance for Glasgow last time? And it’s not just Glasgow. Few supporters seem to be clamouring for him. Why? Edited November 28, 2022 by Wee Eck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted November 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Think broc, like Conner might struggle to get himself a team place on his average. Feels like going to be quite a few out of work to start the season. Ruml & kemp would be another 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harris, to my mind, is still very much a class act and puts many bums on seats. Entertainment is what speedway is all about (or should be)….and he is still the king of that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think he is more interested in longtrack meetings abroad and as they are physically more demanding I doubt any League side will get the best of him. Yes he had a good season last year but the number of guest appearances he made is surely an indication of how few out and out No 1s there were given the Birmingham, Newcastle and particularly Plymouth situations. Great entertainer but not at Glasgow again for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year we heard there was supposedly a shortage of riders yet there are four riders now that you suggest may be struggling for a place. Got to wonder if the master plan in dropping the team building averages is a way of getting more NDL riders into the CL at the expense of 4/5pt averaged riders?

Yeah it's going to be those 4-6 guys who are going to miss out. Which in the case of Conner and kemp in particular going to be detrimental to their development. All because the prem can't attract better quality riders, well done bspl there's 2 young British riders out a job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Harris is going spare, I would've liked him back at Berwick but our promotion decided on another path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan is to get rid of the 9/10 point riders to make it cheaper. The same promoters who vote for that plan, then fill their teams with top heat leaders & 2.00 reserves, meaning the 4/5/6 point riders may miss out! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a 42 point limit, heat leaders know they are in demand & can request more money. I'm not suggesting riders don't deserve to be paid well, just that clubs can't afford it. Until thousands of fans return, clubs need to make speedway feasible to avoid the Eastbourne & Newcastle situations happening again. The riders unfortunately need to realise the money isn't there for them to demand payment that allows them top equipment & the best tuners.

Great entertainer but not at Glasgow again for me. While he still entertaining ,personally I think he is only interest in making money by riding 7 days a week if possible.Surprised if Glasgow have him back( sounds like it by rumours ) he has a high average, but I suppose the league I’d diluted again so should do OK.Think the fans would rather have Lawson.
