Mike0310 Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 But Lisa they won the league end of no ifs and buts, you can’t harp back to what’s gone on before history is history this season there promotion and manager out foxed yours and the rest of us by winning the league.like I say what went on before this year is history Glasgow are the reigning champs and well done Glasgow and now the fords are up against a formidable force in the owners of Glasgow and there cheque book is probably a lot bigger than the fords and they will want to do it again next year just be big enough to admit you blew it like we all did and Glasgow are now the team at the top and Poole and the rest of us are the chasers not the champs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Facennas visited Matt inPoole a couple of seasons ago to get all the hints and tips to build year on year successful teams. Good to see they took it all on board at least for one season! Let's see what happens in 2024. (BTW are Plymouth definitely running)? Edited October 29, 2023 by Skidder1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time Poole had a 'struggling season' was 2009. Speaks for itself. That’s a little unfair on Championship clubs. How many teams have been better than Glasgow over the course of the last five years or so? And that’s no disrespect to other clubs, e.g., Redcar, who have built some very entertaining and challenging teams. Even if they haven’t won the league, plenty of us would make sure we’re in town when they are. Winning can be fine margins, and so much depends on injuries. But how you go about it is very important too. Just see the NJL debacle this week for that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then they would ask for a track that would produce the least entertaining racing in the league, so thanks but no thanks 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are the champions this season, let's see if they can now win it on a regular basis, then you can start comparing them with Poole Edited October 29, 2023 by Arthur54 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More neutral fans would be disappointed if they didn't than if Poole did not run,that's if they are running especially as 2024 will be the last at Wimborne Road.

Asking if Plymouth are hoping to run is surely a fair question in.light of Mark Philips' recent statements re lack of finance?! It could have a bearing on the final points limit. Why would any club wish to lose a 'local derby' even if it means meeting 6 times a season? You are so tetchy Lewy!

Usually have a beer or 2 with some pool fans in the pub just up the road from the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember those days when I used to drink at speedway - long passed nowadays as it used to skew my opinions. Didnt realise it had a pool table!

SharpenRake Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Welcome to the Glasgow Tigers 2024 page, but thought I'd mention something that has got nothing to do with 2024. Just watched the 2023 Grand Final home leg on BSN - its really worth watching. If you don't know the score, Glasgow won 52-38. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow have built a good team every season since 2015, since the Facennas took over, they've always been a top 4 club (I think). Not as successful as Poole, but that doesn't mean they can't build a strong team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much does a manager effect a teams fortunes. Cami I'd considered by many to be a poor manager, regularly makes odd heat 15 choices, doesn't put his top 2 at 1+5 (a nit pick of mine) gives his weakest rider an unnecessary 4th ride - but still won the league. Stuart Dickson has a reputation of being a good manager, tactically astute, but his changes made Leicester worse & didn't help Birmingham much. Pete Adams has won many titles, but in recent years Wolves had made the play-offs but then proceed to lose home & away on the semis! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
