thommo34 45 Posted June 5, 2014 Well less than 2 hours to go and the silence is deafening. I would guess that the majority think that this should be a fairly easy win for the Tigers, Sheffield that is, but if Wolbert Pjiper, Harrison and Henry as on song , along withe the inconsistencies shown by some of our team it could be fairly close. My prediction is 50-40. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Third Man 2,213 Posted June 5, 2014 yes so much interest in this, but the suns out on a thursday night, good chance of a win by the tigers tonight, unless its a draw of course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weeyin 1,021 Posted June 5, 2014 Great score by Anders , bet Dimitri would have had a field day at reserve 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
george.m 3,063 Posted June 5, 2014 Going by the updates a lot more respectful. One day we might all be firing at the same time. As Dorothy says Dimitri would have had a field day, maybe our rain offs might be a blessing in disguise, he should be back soon and we'll be stronger for those meetings. Onwards and upwards ...... .... please guys! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cue Ball 416 Posted June 5, 2014 Just a normal away meeting for Theo sadly. Theo wasn't that bad to be fair. Anders on the other hand was bloody fantastic for his first few rides, tailed off a bit towards the end, but was still useful. Think Sheffield may have struggled against better opposition, hopefully 2 or 3 meetings on the spin will help things improve and let the riders get properly dialled in.

Blackadder 280 Posted June 5, 2014 No Josh at Edinburgh tomorrow I believe. A better all round performance from the home Tiggers but I haven't seen times as consistently slow as they were on a day with no rain for some time. Good to see Eric Boocock brought in to help with track preparation; hopefully they will get it right soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCOTLAND1314 121 Posted June 6, 2014 Great score by Anders , bet Dimitri would have had a field day at reserve Indeed, all other things being equal, when young Berge comes back from inury he'll be a bit of a trump card at reserve at most tracks. He undoubtedly is worth the entrance fee to go and watch. Great talent. The best thing about it (or hopefully so for Glasgow) is that he'll become an asset (or maybe is already I've no real understanding of the asset system these days). And on night's like last night he may be the difference between zero points and 1 or more away points. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerowl 630 Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) It was a decent meeting to be honest. Not a classic but some decent racing and it was just nice to see speedway again. Simon Stead was superb and the rest of the side were solid rather than spectacular. Josh Bates was probably the pick of the rest and Taylor Poole was unlucky with his engine failure and a tapes exclusion. Glasgow fought back well but had 11 last places which killed them a bit. Three of the four last places Sheffield had were when Taylor had engine failure when second, Josh pulled out at the first bend with his back injury and Ty was off 15 metres and couldn't make up the ground. Kevin Wolbert was great value - one astonishing first lap when I thought he was in the fence but kept it on and blasted around everyone. Christian Henry started off poorly but came good Anders Thomsen I was very impressed with - looked fast and smooth with a lovely style Rusty Harrison was disappointing - kept missing the gate and when it looked like he might win heat 14 he was passed by Andre around the boards Theo Pijper was OK - rode better then his score suggests Kasper Lykke wasn't as good as I expected but looked quicker as the meeting went on Rafal Konopka did OK and had an engine failure when third in one heat Edited June 6, 2014 by tigerowl 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlieboy 412 Posted June 6, 2014 Steady was pure class last night,josh was good value .Not a convincing performance probably down to lack of meetings.Worried about next week when we look under strength against scunny.Proctor away with wolves according to the fixtures.Fear the worst, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackadder 280 Posted June 7, 2014 They have new muck now, for the first time in about 3 years, so hopefully the track will improve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
