Glasgow 2025


Recommended Posts

Interesting to see who we go for as number 2 (assuming bomber stays). I can't see Steve W being back and there isn't a whole lot of HLs around and with Rowe having looked elsewhere doesn't seem many options. Dan T maybe? Vuolas if he fancies Poland and workys Saturdays don't suit?

IF voulas does Poland, Fridays will be ruled out as 2nd tier in Poland ride Friday Saturday or Sunday.  Hopefully he will do comets and belle vue in 2025

It's possible it could be Leon, I guess. Depends how they want to spread the points. It would give us a stronger middle and reserves, but would be a risk to make him the #5.

Can't say like the idea but I see it happening given rider availability. Claus in there as no.3 maybe might negate the weakness at 5.

You can have claus back, tends to go missing a lot !!

Yes, Claus at 3 would definitely help. Bomber + Leon + Claus + Foord + Hodder would leave pretty much bang on 10 points left, which feels workable.

Hodder ?

Think if Harris is back Leon would be a good signing on his average.Really depends on points limit though.With the league getting weaker every year ordinary riders are maintaining /increasing their average by default .

7.48 (less Brit reduction) = 7.09 (providing it's a 5% reduction!)

Imagine if Mr Barrie made that mistake, the joy you would take.

We can all make mistakes.  That is why you can buy Tipp-ex and pencils which come with little erasers on the end of them.

7.48 - 2.5% = 7.29.

Also the 2.5% might change at the next AGM - who knows??

1 good meeting out of 3 shouldn't be a reason to sign someone.

Paid 8 Vs Oxford including beating Nichols (albeit off a 15m handicap) was a fantastic effort for a 2 pointer imo. Why wouldn't we be looking at him for next season based on that?

Richard Lawson guested 3 times for Berwick scored about 43pts, so if that is the way it works must be nailed on for Berwick eh no. Freddy had had a very barren spell points wise until that guest appearance for Glasgow. I think depending on NDL format he will stay at Belle Vue Colts who ride normally on a Friday night, and he has already said he would like to be back at Berwick 2025 who persevered with him all of  2024.

If Freddie wants to come back we should take him IMO.

For me watching him that last meeting he wasn't afraid of the track and actually tried to fight round the outside and pass people, not many 2 pointers do that round Ashfield, he could have scored 2 points and I've have taken him

Wouldn't be overly fussed with Hodder but he may kick on next season with a season under his belt at this level.

Lining up at Glasgow is a strong possibility next season from what i heard , just need to see what happens.
