I cant help but think he may go to Workington. I am not sure at all regarding Connor, but is he not an asset of Glasgow and could be a solid second string on that average, given the reduction in pts limit, plus has had a season at Redcar under his belt now.

topaz325 Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 I think. Connor will be at Glasgow next year but I would be very happy to see him back in Comets colours next season . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yearbyred Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 I thought the rumours were having to have a 2 pointer at 7 (36 points for 6 riders)? Seeing lots of team threads where that isn’t the case. Be interesting to seen where Bailey ends up - the sort of rider most teams will be looking for, plenty of room for improvement in his average.

Borke possibly on a 4 at no.2? Leaving a 5.00/ 5.5 to complete? Really is going to look like a much different league next season. Borke and Zitschke as second strings? Brennan shaped gap with those 7 point's isn't there! Not much out there after Riss, Ben Cook or Jake Allen. All of which seem nailed on elsewhere. Unless the aussie comes in on a 4 and you've got 8 points for a no5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you're correct about your number 5 will be over the 7 mark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine Piper will be considered a RS, if they are back, otherwise it could be a long tail Piper isn't a 2 pointer though. So I'd imagine Complin as second string, Piper and 2 pointer. Which would mean more points for HLs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Leon's favourite track, as I think he'd admit. When consider he was about 2 points higher average than anyone else in the u21 final and he didn't make top 6. But that's how you improve by conquering these things and it's not a signing I'd be against if the Redcar rumour proves unfounded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac101 Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 don’t think the number 7 has to be a 2 pointer the team will be built to 38 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barabas Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 I know glasgow have spoken to Leon flint but I'm not sure he has signed & ashfield is not his favourite track so will see on that , borke has been mentioned i hear on a 4 thats ok for that average as he likes our track, tho I heard a while ago kye Thomson was spoken to so not sure what's going on there , obviously tigers want harris back because of his heroics & entertainment value so that's a no brainer time will tell if he signs ,and lee is a great character good in pits etc connor is in frame because he's a glasgow asset , ace should get better & he's still on a low average..I think the league is sadly getting watered down now & tigers need to be careful ie charging ppl same or more money for a inferior product & if a any other teams go up our league will be very weak as Birmingham are going up , if Oxford or Poole or even both then glasgow need to act as there's more to speedway than going on about derbies with monarchs...we need to be in a competitive league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace is still an NDL level rider with I think about a sub 6 average. He has done well to add over point in the champ. Whereas you'll have boughen, Perry, Killeen, hodder, mcgurk who have higher ndl averages than ace but will come in on 2s. Whatever the decision imo ace has to class as the NDL/ RS or however going to word it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Ace has higher Champ average than Ablitt but Ablitt is over 8 in NL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I understand those crabbing Tom Brennan choosing to move up either - it's his career and his cross to bear if it goes south.

Hence the otherwise it will be a long tail! experience wise, he’s behind a lot of riders who will probably get an RS classification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
