Clegg and Aaron fox I think it was averaged just over 3. So there is a precedent Expand It was 2015 Monarchs won with Clegg & Branford in the team, both started on 3.00 (minimum that season) & ended on about 3.50. That team was similar to the way Glasgow have built their team, but it's not often clubs win things starting with 2 low averaged reserves.

mac101 Posted December 10, 2024 Report Share Posted December 10, 2024 The Glasgow reserves and the rest of the team will have plenty track time to get themselves dailed in and ready for next season so they should be well up to speed before the season kicks off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a serious few questions . is the racing at Poole better than Glasgow = NO Redcar = No Oxford = No Scunthorpe = No Workington = No Berwick = debate able Edinburgh = Yes Plymouth =Yes Poole are very good on there own track and certain away tracks I admit but I could not watch speedway at Poole as Speedway is allegedly classed as an entertainment as well .so winning at the detriment of providing entertainment you keep watching it in Poole while I’ll visit tracks were there is good hard racing for 4 laps each race and not just the first 80 metres of the first lap 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
