Whats the Big Secret, no announcement today of the team ????

It’s like dealing with my wife she’s a drama queen as well.

I believe they were filming the marketing today - official announcements will follow once they've processed it. I'm sure this was supposedly done weeks ago, but I'm not sure if they just couldn't get everyone together, or perhaps that was the team that didn't fit the points limit (which was rumoured on here a while back).

lets hope they can get everyone together for the actual meetings. .

Why is everyone so excited for the team to be announced when we all know the 1-7 and have done for at least a month?

This miserable post receiving one, never mind three likes, is wild.😂

It’s a natural emotion. People feel excitement at the prospect of something they enjoy or find rewarding. Wait only adds to the excitement.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m exaggerating with the daily “Announce Boughen” posts, but the day I feel no excitement at the prospect of Glasgow’s line-up being announced is the day I stop going to the speedway. It’s a tremendous aspect of the sport, team building. In any sport, for that matter.

Regardless of whether we know who the seven will be too. For example, I know my wife’s making turkey dinosaurs and alphabetti spaghetti for dinner tonight and have done all week, but I’m still excited.

And sadly that is true! With my Poole hat on Brennan is replaced by Lewi, Brennan is the much better rider, Ben Cook is replaced by Zach or Anders, Ben is a much better rider than those. Poole had to lose 7 points which I don't dispute that is the rules made by all clubs at the AGM. Admission will increase again in 2025 I'm sure for all clubs as costs have increased. But anyone that tells me the team coming to tapes in 2025 and the one that finished 2024 at Poole is a better product are living in a different universe.

It is a weaker product on offer, I will still go but please don't tell me its the same or better as it isn't!

Back to Glasgow if the team is as predicted, they will start as favourites for 2025. Entertaining team that will put a show on for the fans on a great race track.

Good luck in 2025

Do you not think reducing the strength of the Poole team may lead to more competitive racing? Does that not lead to a better product?

As for Glasgow two 2 point reserves is a gamble. Yes it worked out for Poole this year but if they stay on a 2 point average then Glasgow won't be winning anything.

It's hard to judge Glasgow's chances, rumoured top 5 looks great, but 2 x 2.00 reserves must be a concern.

Ps Poole only had one, Hagon started above 2.00, something Glasgow are missing.

What’s the Team.

The assumption is: Bomber, Howarth, Dan Thompson, Leon, Max Perry… and it’s been so long now that I’ve genuinely forgotten the other two.

Edit: Boughen is one of them. Oh, and Hodder.

Why is it an inferior product. If you build a reasonable 1-7 and are up against similar strength opposition then the  racing should be just as good. Then it's,a question of how you promote/publicise your club and its fixtures.

because people want to see the better riders

the championship will begin without pickering nicholls schlein brennan and b cook and some of the named sides look pretty ropey compared to last season

many folk will pay more to see their team but you cant blame those who refuse to absorb the price hike

With 40 point limit held for the next 3(?) seasons unfortunately it's going to look the same every year for the foreseeable future, spiralling downwards.

The present fan base will be disappointed with the standard of the Championship dropping every year  and admission prices rising and the sport is not attracting new fans in any great numbers.Sadly.
