Jaizer Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 I'd assume if took Paco's Birmingham meeting out the stats wouldn't look so rosy this year..and now he won't have heat 14 to win every week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year was his first year away from Birmingham and in the main body of the side. This being his 2nd season you’d expect him to improve which he has with his average going up. Think it’s more frustration with him than anything as he’ll go out and beat the opposition number 1 one race and get beat by their reserve in their next. Lack of consistency his main issue. He is quite an experienced rider though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Blobby Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Slight change in the Glasgow order this week from calamity cammy with Brennan going to 3 and basso to 5. Edited June 6, 2023 by Mr Blobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom did get beaten in heats 13 and 15 in April, but I’m not sure this changes much to be honest. He’s been on great form at home this season, definitely seeing the improvement he needed to show.

Plus Tom is clever enough to dovetail whatever lines Claus is riding 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m trying to work out if I really want to go across to Armadale to potentially see one pass all evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was young free and single I would often do the trio: Edinburgh Friday, Berwick Saturday and Glasgow Sunday and I would recognise a few other individuals who did the same. I stopped going to Armadale for one of the reasons you pointed out, it was a really toxic aggressive argumentative vibe. For clarification that might just have coincided with where I was standing, I'm 100% not saying everyone was like that, obviously not. Consequently I've not kept abreast of the current entertainment value. When I went it was the Peter Carr era alongside a young Jimmy Grieves and the track produced good racing. I remember Armadale as super grippy. It's sad to hear it's not as good as it was, if indeed that's the case. Spoiled at Ashfield now I guess.......

July before we are away after Friday so Basso will be at No.1 by then. Assume Bomber will be at 5 and Tom at 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah much like yourself used to do the 3 most weeks in the good weather. Stood on what was home now back straight and was always bit of banter supporting anyone but Edinburgh but became a bit nasty and I was bringing kids by that time so have it a miss. As you say wasn't everyone and I'm sure Edinburgh fans will say same thing happened at ashfield around the same time. Yesh peak times for armadale were carr, stoney, Sean Wilson, Andre Compton and latterly with Shane. Whether it's the current bikes or riders preference from what I've heard and seen on some streams looks to have become very slick. Since doc Bridget retired possibly?
