Jaizer Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 (edited) Pairs been a staple for Glasgow over relatively recent years. 4th time I can think of that we've won it. Shane and Geo, Shane and Danny bird, screeny and I want to say grievesy? Even in the doldrums had a habit of doing well in the pairs.

screm Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 Congratulations to Glasgow on their win. Just like the CLRC at Redcar a few days ago its sad to see riders either pulling out or just not wanting to race in the first place, you would think that riders would do everything possible to represent their club and the fans of that club who support them through the season. Alas it appears not. As for the antics from Troy Batchelor, I`m surprised anyone is surprised anymore. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Batch and Craig cook need to decide if they want to continue riding speedway then they either give it everything or give up. This half hearted efforts do them or the promotions no good at all. Batch shouldn’t be given that option in my opinion - total lack of respect for he event, the paying public and the race jacket of the team he was representing.

If I was the Birmingham owner I'd have sacked him on the spot. Stuff the league position, he was totally out of order. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he has history off throwing in the towel during a meeting or doesn’t make the gate.Binning him wouldn’t do the Brummies any harm given their predicament now.Poor show especially with the cameras there.

LisaColette Posted September 2, 2023 Report Share Posted September 2, 2023 Don't think Brum can sack Batch? As you are not allowed to sign anyone anymore, so wouldn't even get a facility? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don`t disagree with you, thing is there will be a promoter somewhere that is desperate or daft enough to sign Batchelor in the belief that they can manage him back to former glories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather see a youngster trailing round last and giving it go than him taking my hard earned money for just turning up when he feels like it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coraldon Posted September 3, 2023 Report Share Posted September 3, 2023 I know there was a controversy about the coin toss before the final, and yes my team lost the toss, to the team who I fancied to win overall, but surely a simple rule change would solve the problem, it is. The team who score most points on reaching the final has the choice of gate positions in the final. Simples. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow had beaten Poole Oxford and Redcar in the qualifying heats. And took maximum points from their one heat against one of the weaker teams 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Batchelor doesn't need to reach his former glories to help a team. A struggling team with 8 points available is better off signing a 6.5 Batchelor even if he only scores 5 points than a 2.00 newbie (which some are suggesting) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) I asked this last week, but may have got lost mid meeting. Question for Oxford fans. In the Joey Beauchamp bar there are two photos from the 80's. One is Hans Nielsen, Jimmy Nilsen & Troy Butler who is the other Robin. The other is assume a Sheffield rider leading Andy Grahame. Who is the rider in the Tigers race jacket. Is that Kelly Moran? Edited September 6, 2023 by Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
