Also the BSN commentary team were an absolute shambles tonight, bordering on disgraceful. Hilarious nonsense about BSN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all made up week to week anyway theres zero credibility in winning any of them… i do note you only seem to find fault in comps Poole dont win though… almost like you make it up to suit Haha, I said it at beginning of the meeting! lol. If I say it during the playoffs you might have a point. Never been a fan of a pairs competition. I can just about make do with SoN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaizer Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Outstanding boys, best team there on the night, toughest draw and still make it. Some shocking attitudes at the start, what point do riders get fined for non trying? Just as minor point how did we finish 3rd but get 2 and 4 in both finals? Bit weird but we'll take it!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fastest winning time maybe, although that is a bit counter intuitive in a pairs competition you can win without either of your pair crossing the line first in any race.

A race off, but that causes tyre disparity issues Yeah, time, I'd happily go with that, at least it's performance based, I can't be doing with coin tosses once a competition has started, should easily be doable now with transponders... or why have transponders?

Jonimac Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Outstanding win for Glasgow. I’ve never witnessed them win a trophy (I started at Coatbridge in 1975!) so thank you BSN. And the celebrations showed how much it means to everyone at the club. Getting the best of Charles Wright and Danny King twice was no mean feat, and the way in which they rode showed what pairs is all about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelinho Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Fantastic win, well deserved. Beat Poole, Oxford and Redcar five times from five heats. Redcar well worthy of second, Lewis Kerr was brilliant most of the night for Oxford too. Batch needs dispatched. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eide67 Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 After an iffy start turned into a really good pairs meeting with some excellent racing when any of the three top teams met. Well done to Glasgow who thoroughly deserved their victory with Chris Harris the rider of the night. His team riding in the semi was epic and in stark contrast to Charles Wright in the final, who was busting a gut to win the race when he should have dropped back to try to help his partner into third. Also a special mention for young Max Perry taking a fine heat win. And finally - where was Cami? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BacktrackBandit Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 Proud of the the Bandits tonight, didn’t sit around and moan about the track conditions, just went out on the track and gave it their best shot. Congratulations to Glasgow! Whatever happened to the fours by the way? Always loved the fours and would love to see them return. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I say it during the playoffs you might have a point. Never been a fan of a pairs competition. I can just about make do with SoN. Every heat in every league meeting is a competition of one pair against another. The point score differential and trying not to finish last should make it more intriguing. How to ride Pairs was expertly demonstrated by Bomber especially in the semi final in keeping Lewis Kerr at the back and protecting Basso. Compare that to Rich Lawson in the first semi, he just didn't know how to do the same with Danny King in order to give Ben Cook a chance of getting into third , eventually King passed Richard to take second and make it a 7-2. Difference between night and day. Edited September 1, 2023 by SteelShoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
