Dickson banks on unsung riders to hit top gear

STEWART DICKSON believes the lower end of his team will have to win key battles if they’re to take points off Newcastle tomorrow.

Glasgow are back in action after more than a fortnight off with an important SGB Championship fixture at the old Brough Park stadium.

They’re looking to con- tinue their run of taking something from every match raced i n this season.

But with Team GB stars Robert Lambert and Steve Worrall leading the home charge, the Tigers team boss knows his side won’t have it all their own way.

He said: “We go there looking for a point and that’ll be the minimum requirement – but we know what to expect. They’ve got two extremely big riders in Lambert and Worrall, so we’re under no illusions just now tough heats 13 and 15 will be, where we can be quite dominant.

“We’ve got riders who can ride that track and one or two who haven’t seen the place. We’ll need to give it a go.

“We’re on this great run at the moment picking up something from every meeting and we want to keep that going.

“It’ll be tough but we’ll give it a go and hopefully add to our points tally.

“I know the likes of Edinburgh are above us but it’s a slightly false league table at the moment because we’ve raced hardly any home matches, and we need to get some more on the board.”

Glasgow’s new averages see Richard Lawson line up at No.1 following his fine run of form, while the likes of Jack Smith and Nike Lunna will be looking to build on the good work they’ve produced in Tigers colours of late.Lawson and Richie Worrall are also Glasgow’s representatives in Monday’s British Final at the National Speedway Stadium in Manchester.

The side are next in home action a week on Saturday against Ipswich.
