SharpenRake

As has been said many times before Glasgow are not the highest payers in our league BUT they are regular payers and stick to the agreed contract.

For those not there last night, the Glasgow fans voted for Ryan macdonald as rider of the night. It was good to see the guests on both sides giving 100%

The Tigers did well to restrict Panthers to a 10 point lead but the main issue will be th track and weather. The track took a lot of rain prior to Saturday's individual on Saturday and even some rain during the meeting. Today it has been lashing down with rain forecast for tomorrow night. Lets pray the forecast is wrong what with Ipswich wanting to run there leg of the final on Thursday. sadly dont see the Tigers getting through mainly due to Chris Harris, great rider and team man, he clealry really wanted to win the chamionship individual on saturday with some breathtaking fence scraping moves and i can see him going through the card unbeaten although hope i'm wrong.

Now that is funny

For once he is right AND Hancock is coming to the Tigers end of season dance on Saturday. Surely he wouldn't be allowed to ride in the championship OR does this mean we are going up OR he's been tempted by the thought of a haggis supper 🍽️

Glasgow own Jack, no ifs or buts. He missed a Glasgow meeting because the powers that be decided to ignore the rules.

There has been a lot of criticism of the BSPA over the last few months. The Star has a piece by Dick Barrie that suggests when he attended previous Agm's new ideas by intelligent new promoters would be shouted down. I've also read that the old guard whoever they are still control UK speedway even though there was a threat of a breakaway a few years ago. From what I can see there are more new promoters than old guard eg Glasgow, Berwick, Redcar, Somerset, rye house, Workington, Peterborough, belle vue, Sheffield, Leicester, Ipswich,etc. They should club together kick out the old guard and tell them to form their own promoters group, something like Bored of UK Speedway (sorry meant Board)

Didn't realise we were moving up 😯

Interesting you've made it clear you don't want summers and Lawson and you don't necessarily want the team you have predicted. So who do you want

Still trying to work out what you are trying to say

oh the irony! Suggest you change your name from 'cyclone' to something more appropriate like 'f*rt'

Since everyone else is pretending they know something I think IF Richard leaves it will be because he thinks it is right for him. Assuming he will sign for lakeside or Somerset in the premier league it would make sense for him to cut out the weekly trip upto Glasgow and sign for another championship team. At least Glasgow will get 2 loan fees. Would be good to build side around lunna and Bewley

Spot on. Was going to post something similar but no need you've said it all. One thing I'd add no one takes kermi seriously. He's either Jeremy Corbyn Fan under a different name as has been been suggested by a number of posters or if not the other possibility is the daft laddy that gets stick on Tigers Facebook page

Didn't hear it over the PA but the track staff should have been thanked publicly. The rain beforehand was a killer and it was obvious some riders didn't fancy it but fair dos they gave it a go. Worrals engine failure when on a 5-1 could have been crucial but in the end wasn't. Well done to the 4 regular Panthers riders can see why you won the 4s.

Jack holder was listed until recently as riding for Peterborough but he isn't cos he has taken ill, jet lag? Being an Edinburgh fan you know better than anyone that listing a rider doesn't guarantee their appearance. You will also know that some riders are sensible following a crash and also realise that coming back to early could affect them and there team mates. If he were to ride in the individual and had to pull out he's not put his team in a difficult position. It's called common sense a concept that appears to be in short supply among certain fans

Thought Tom crashed in his last ride on his comeback and posted that he may quit the sport cos of all the injuries he has had in recent years. Remember unlike lots of riders tom has a proper job in a bank and it would be a shame if he risked his health and career for what is an expensive hobby

Good to hear that they made the wrong decision on a consistent basis. As others said on other threads these decisions were made despite what the rules say in black and white

The problem hasn't been caused by Glasgow, it has been caused by the rules. Glasgow were meant to be racing against Workington tonight and in effect have swapped one meeting for another. Jack Smith is a Glasgow asset so we have actually helped the Colts and aces by loaning him to you thus helping you win trophies. Is it too much to ask that he helps us to try and win one? Finally whether you agree with the rules or not premier and championship matches take priority over NL matches apart from riders championship

If Peterborough are allowed a guest, and who knows if they are or aren't, can see them going for Chris Harris - he has guested for virtually every other club and is good round Ashfield. Means of course he would get 8 rides, his own and jacks, and if selected to ride in heat 15 his points would count double

No idea. We still have to fit in Workington with Fridays league match being cancelled presumably because they didn't want to hold 2 matches in 2 days. And perhaps they were keeping Friday free in case Thursday was rained off. 🌧️🌨️🌩️ the current forecast looks good for tomorrow but it rained for part of today when it should have been dry so fingers crossed ☀️

he probably saw Olivia and has been unable to cope

Throw in club assets Aaron,Jack and your favourite Richard and we could run 2 teams with the riders you have mentioned

Have to agree, but a pity about the time it took to race the semi-final but it was good to see all 4 riders were giving there all and putting on a show for the fans. It was announced that both Morris and Lawson were on there spare bikes in the semi so well done for qualifying. Also well done to the DJ getting the crowd to sing along to some old classics whilst waiting for the riders and bikes to get put back together after the semi crashes.

And I'm sure the track will be prepared exactly the same way as for tonight

yes its funny that, sure I've read that cookie was a great team man and if so surely he would have thought about the travelling workie fans and his team mates who could earn a few quid this evening
