Bet it wasn’t over the five figures Boughen is getting.

And why does this concern you what he gets.

Or is it because it’s Glasgow that you have to make comment about something that is 

A. Nothing to do with you.

B. Nothing to do with you.

C. Still nothing to do with you.

I just love that this annoys you .

If you’ve got it to get who you want then why not.

Didn't you know Peter facenna phones John Campbell every time he does a deal with a rider and asks him to tell Blobby? Thought was a well known protocol

Genuinely not too fussed that AB isn’t returning. Didn’t like his attitude one bit, spent the second half of the season shutting off earlier and earlier, and if he didn’t gate he didn’t bother trying.

 

Clearly a rider in there but happy for another team to find it.

Honestly, I'm probably gonna eat my words in years to come, but I don't get all the hype behind Ashton. Yeah he's extremely talented on a bike for his age, but his attitude and the way he rides... I just can't see him developing into anything too crazy. Yeah he might eventually be a heatleader at Championship level, but I just honestly can't see past that. He reminds me a lot of Lewis Bridger. Bags of talent at a young age, but I just don't see him hitting full potential. I really like Glasgow and I hope it pays off for them, and it probably will, but he's not the next Bewley, Lambert, Woffinden in my eyes.

I know it sounds stupid saying this already at his stage in his career, and I do hope I'm wrong... I just don't feel it with him, like I did when I first saw Robert Lambert and Dan Bewley ride, and I just can't explain why...

I watched bewley for a season at Glasgow, probably at same stage boughen is now, and if told me he'd be a GP rider I'd have called you liar. There wasn't a bit fanfare about Dan, he had audition for a place at Edinburghs press and practice I seem to recall. 

Can only comment on boughen I saw easily beat bomber by about a straight at ashfield at end of season and that'll do for me on a 5

Fair enough, as I say I'm happy to be proved wrong and I hope nothing but the best for Glasgow, it's a city close to my heart, although I don't follow their speedway team, I do like to see them succeed. I've seen Ashton have absolutely blinding races where he looks like he's been racing for decades and I've seen him shut off and bottle it against riders much slower than him... I guess it's to be expected at such a young age and he might grow past that stage and properly kick on, time will tell. Hopefully he's a superstar soon enough.

I can't see a way JJ doesn't return - loves it here and said if it wasn't for the RS at Ipswich I certainly think he would have been in the Spires set up too.

 

I think Gilkes will be here based on his guesting at the end of the season and the things that were said, but we can't say that for sure. Likewise I'm confident Jody Scott will be #7.... my one thought is whether we'll actually see Scotty return. Nothing concrete yet and I'm concerned that the injury at the end of the year has made him think about retirement - that's my own suspicion and is based on nothing concrete.
