iwright71 206 Posted November 25, 2018 1 hour ago, Endeavour said: Agree Glasgow seems to be in firing line here because they do pay more and with staggered signing on fees over season. If say Monarchs or Redcar got taken over by owners with a business turnover of an estimated 118 million they would be ones folk having a pop at. Thought 38 point limit would have brought some sense to sport but looks like a GP 2018 rider will still ride second tier which for Craig makes financial sense but could create an imbalance in their team. I am a great Cookie fan and will spit feathers if he signs for Tigers but at the end of the day he gave great service to Monarchs and money talks. Just stop giving us this tosh about how professional Glasgow are. Sometimes you get a warmer welcome in the small corner shops than you do at the 24 hour Tesco’s. At least we have a limit that every team has to adhere to whether you are a Prince or a Pauper . Don't have a problem with Glasgow paying riders exactly what they want, just don't come out in the Speedway Star moaning you are losing money and things can't continue as they are. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

H20 38 Posted November 30, 2018 Glasgow say 2019 could be the last year they could take £100,000 losses. We need to see which riders they have signed but my guess will be new riders all on top money again with massive bonus payments again all cherry picked from other clubs by dangling massive signing fees again. That's the only reason why I don't want Glasgow to win anything at all. They are great fans but I'm not into this fantasy speedway team building. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good to know we are worth talking about and that Laura Morgan has such an excellent fan base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is the point the haters are going to hate , lets see how our team looks first but I suspect there will be some needing a prescription to reduce blood pressure. The meltdown is going to be truly hilarious I can't wait. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JanAndersen 818 Posted November 30, 2018 Glasgow fans getting themselves a bit Leeds Utd. Wait until they go another season without a trophy while spending a fortune on wages. Not unlike another sporting side in the weej. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tosh1218 579 Posted November 30, 2018 All the talk about The Scottish Tigers ,we all know they pay more money per point,signing on fees etc but they can still only build there team to the same average as other teams . Who ever they get will be the best dressed,best bikes but speedway is a team sport and until they pull together as a team on and off track they will never win anything They will never win anything until they all pull together as I can't see the brothers continuing slinging big bucks for mediocrity every year ,a top four finish is a must as every team raises the game against them ,this from a Scunny fan who witnessed the best team ever set up last year only for it to be ravaged by injury so the best side have to be lucky with injuries too .

One of the sadder elements of our sport is the repeated effect of “last man standing” which sees injury wreck sides. Peterborough would be the obvious one this year, but as you say Scunthorpe also suffered. Glasgow were without Cook at a crucial time and as a Workington fan I’m still trying to work out how we covered the loss of Bewley with Proctor also out at finals time.

Don't see anybody getting excited and whilst it would be nice to win a trophy it is not the end of the world is it ?. As for the other sporting side I assume you mean the worlds most successful club, you lot can only dream of winning what we have. But how did your sell out Saturday go for you and the other insignificant SPL teams only show in town. As I say it will be what it will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
