I've never knowingly lied about anything speedway-related on here. I may have got a couple of things wrong here and there - something you know all about Wayne. (PS apologies Glasgow fans s - it's the Lewi effect, it follows everywhere. They don't have much going on down there.)

Jaizer Posted October 22 Author Report Share Posted October 22 Given last year there were a few thank you and goodbye messages after the season finished, does the lack of any such updates so far reveal indecision about make up of the team? Or was that just last year because we won the league? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marksman Posted October 22 Report Share Posted October 22 I know nothing is likely to change but hope we get the Tigers vs Comets more than 1H, 1A next season. Both sides take a good away following and certainly generates interest this end. It's a travesty when you think Poole/Oxford raced each other 8 times this year. Something has to change, and if the reason for lack of meetings is mainly down to Oxford running 3 sides, then it's an absolute shambles. I fear that it's just going to be the same old BSN groups and then the same league format. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you a Berwick fan? He didn't win enough races at Ashfield and James Pearson scored more/ averaged more around Ashfield. Pearson certainly did way better than anyone expected at Ashfield and increased his average from 4.08 to 5.51. Plus marks also to Jack Smith who's probably going to be a victim of averages yet again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with your comments about Pearson, I think Pearson was the only one that increased his average by 1.5 points, and yet those on here were criticizing him. As for next year probably some real Glasgow supporters who saw what I did may well be disappointed. And yes his away form was poor but just think, his last matches away were a lot better because of engine changes - will be very easy to improve from 3.00 - even putting 1 or 2 points on that average. Easy for all other clubs to see that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted October 24 Report Share Posted October 24 Pearson certainly was a plus for Glasgow , to up his average by 1.5 in such a poor team is decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly you probably won't see dramatic changes in the Championship for various reasons, ideally be no cup competitions and a League of 2 home 2 away then play offs of top 4 however the claim will be not enough riders for so many fixtures. With Eastbourne applying to join National League and heavy rumours of a Northern Clubs addition also (won't be Berwick or Workington and Edinburgh and Redcar already have NDL) that would leave Glasgow possibly adding fixtures to to their empty calendar by joining the NDL. Would it be supported though? Edited October 24 by MillenTheVillen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there opinion differs from you doesn’t make them any less a Glasgow fan. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
