Will be riding for Wrocław U24 side on Tuesdays again. Has to keep weekends free for practice over there if he wants to keep progressing. No idea how he juggles a full time job, PL Championship and Poland! Fair play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he may have signed when he wasn't back at Glasgow i'm feeling a bit miffed off after hearing that. I would rather he said he got a better offer. He should improve again next season so will be a good rider again for you guys . I’m very surprised that he wasn’t back at Glasgow given his improvement last season .obviously there are reasons.

SteelShoe Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 Because of the rider shortage which was exacerbated with the advent of doubling up/down I reckon we could be struggling to put a well balanced team together now, hope I'm wrong.

The landscape has changed dramatically since 2018 unfortunately now that even 2nd tier 2nd strings are holding out for Poland. In Bailey's case he'd earn far more taking no rides as a no.8 in 2nd tier in Poland than if he got a max for worky. Can't blame him tbf, would you do the same job for half the wages of double was on offer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksman Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 The lineup for 2024, will be just fine. Don’t know what the panic is. May be something lined up soon to announce the riders. CC111, Claus, Mitchell Cluff for starters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 Not a big fan of (santa) claus but would take him on a relatively low average, and it would pi## off Glasgow fans who are expecting him to re- sign for them 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and I think their seven has been known for quite a while if not announced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you can't blame him for sure but it is frustrating and limiting if like Comets you are currently a weekend track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he signed for Comets previously he actually came up in the stand and watched a race with us in one meeting, not many riders would do that. I have always believed after watching Claus at Ashfield a few times that Glasgow got good value out of him , he always seemed to try really hard to do himself justice riding for the Tigers. I believe he would be a solid signing especially at home, I think the Northside track would suit him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - I think he’d be a great fit and on his average, he’s got to have a deal done somewhere, surely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume why we've gone with a predominantly British 1-7 this year. Only a few years were several Saturday tracks in champ, last season was only Berwick. With worky and I think Plymouth will be more this season right enough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
