Lee is a nice chap and when he was younger he had real natural ability and could have got to the next level but his 'badge kissing' when he wins Heat 2 has you all deluded as to his ability now. He's still a good rider at reserve around Ashfield but the title is won over TWO legs, home and AWAY and the Tigers' reserves are a liability away from home against other Championship reserves. Glasgow has lost to TWO teams over two legs already in two tournaments this season and it's only the signing of Tarasenko that offers any hope that the Tigers will get a third chance to pick up silverware this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good meeting to watch just like the BSN meeting earlier. Updates site has several references to Glasgow riders stealing it on the line, never giving up would be my take. Brennan should be given the No2 race jacket with our recent signing, he's really toiling. 2 hours ago, Gazc said: Tom at 2 was in my thoughts, Jaizer also mentioned it earlier as well ,let’s hope Cami is thinking along those lines also. Not overly concerned about tonight as we were weakened ,not an excuse just the simple fact of how it went tonight But we can’t overlook that two riders carried the team tonight and took the fight to Scunthorpe with back up to a lesser extent by Claus. Poor performance but not unexpected. I've said many times, Brennan at 5 leaves the team looking weak in his heats (especially now Complin is struggling) & I certainly would have put Basso at 5. It's been suggested before that Brennan & Vissing don't race well together, to which I replied - try Vissing at 2, Brennan with Nowak. But since Cami out Brennan at 3 with Claus at Poole & used Richie Worrall at 5, I can only assume Basso doesn't like number 5 / Cami doesn't want to split a successful Basso / Vissing pairing? Of course now Tarasenko is in the team, they have another option for the more difficult number 5 spot.

Cast1rn Posted August 26, 2023 Report Share Posted August 26, 2023 Once Lee's engine went in heat 1 in Poole the away meetings were going to be difficult, god I hope he's got it repaired by the 8th or we're going to be in trouble. 21 points for the Poole cast aways is outstanding, I really like both of them and I think this year they've shown if given the right opportunity they will perform well. As Scunny Dan said, Ablitt should be first on the team sheet for 2024 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He forked out for a new engine resulting in his upturn in form, that was blown to bits in heat one. You've said nothing during his good meetings and now back to this vitriolic crap after one bad match. Give it a by, absolutely pathetic One match shut up u clown have u watched him all season stop talking crap ...I don't judge a rider on one meeting so pipe down...2 points at Redcar scunthorpe Oxford zero v Poole these teams u have to beat so don't u dare give me ur garbage...he's not good enough if u think he is ur an idiot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted August 27, 2023 Report Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) I remember posting on the forum last year, after watching Complin at Poole. I said he looked pretty decent after years of not riding, but if he wanted to progress and get even better, he needed to get some of that bulk off. Well, that didn’t happen and he is overweight for a speedway rider or sportsman. He really should lose it on a Keto or low carb regime and the pounds will fall off. As a side, I have noticed both Ben Barker and Chris Harris are both heavier than at any other time in their racing careers .

Barker yes but in Chris’s case I think you’ll find it’s his safety air vest which makes him look larger. If you see him without his race suit he is no bulkier than before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber less so but looks like he has put weight in his face and seeing him at Poole last week it was difficult to tell the difference between Complin and Harris coming up to tapes. I am a fan of Bomber and always enjoy his efforts even though the light is now fading slightly on his career. Still has it but we were all commenting on his size in the grandstand. Happy to hear it’s not pies. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
