Hate to say it but can see us losing particularly if we have bike and tapes problems Likewise, especially at reserve. Cant think who would have tapes problems!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 7,989 Posted April 11, 2019 The Glasgow site is showing the Berwick team with Doolan, Gappmaier and Ethridge at numbers two three and four. After switching Kevin Doolan and Jye Etheridge round at Newcastle wouldnt Berwick be better doing the same for Glasgow. https://www.glasgowtigers.org/cami-ready-for-rivals-old-and-new/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProudtobeaBrummie 646 Posted April 12, 2019 Not jealous because i much prefer competitive racing than my team win give me a 46-44 all day . So my question is it not boring having craig cook in your team tootling round in front unchallenged for 33% of tonight's total heats ? seems a bit boring and pointless to me ? maybe i am wrong and its really entertaining for the masses just not me .

I left tonight feeling thoroughly entertained and Cookie contributed to that. Some wonderful racing and apart from the crash after heat 14, a great evenings entertainment. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MD 1,299 Posted April 12, 2019 Superb opening meeting for the Tiggers, big crowd, 15 minute queues to get in and some decent racing. Mid April racing is so much better than March. Berwick started off well, were sharp from the gate but seemed to fade from ht 8 onwards. Garcia was never the same after a fall in his second and Flint wasnt really in the hunt. Jensen was immense on his home debut as was Bickley, after years of trying we may actually have riders who can use the inside line to good effect. With Sarjeant only having 1 starting offence it was a decent night, the downside being Etheridge taking a flyer into the fence at the end of ht14 when his throttle seemed to be stuck open. Hopefully he is ok, onward to Berwick tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weeyin 1,006 Posted April 12, 2019 Fantastic meeting , the Bandits were sharp out the gate for the first few heats, but the tiggers soon found their feet , best racing I have seen there for a long time. Wasn't as easy as the scoreline suggests. Was impressed with young Bickley. Hope it is as entertaining tomorrow night in Bandit country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
