  1. Lawson and Morris will both get close to a maximum. Ellis will do well so our bottom 3 need to outscore there bottom 3 big time!

    Might not be too bad away from home Claus, Paul and a taccy sub should cover 3 of the rides Stuart too busy doing other tracks, see from reports in the Star a big hole has developed at Poole but the track will get better - nothing like a positive spin on things

    What I meant was he got in people on artificially low averages in 2011 and on that occasion it worked from a trophy point of view albeit not financially. Think the Facennas want to be loyal to their team members, staff and UK speedway but get frustrated when things result in back biting, sly comments and incidents like Worrall and Lawson last year. With SD away will be interesting what they do for next year

    Think Richie thinks he was a favourite but Stuart was very good at saying the right thing whether to fans, riders, owners. However his team building philosophy was always get in guys with a low/false average and once they've increased it for us after a season or two get rid or 'let go'. Think 2011 for the best example and this year Claus and Lewis. Surprised he kept Worrall this year after last years shenanigans but with Lawson deciding he wanted to leave, he probably had no other option. Edinburgh would eb a good fit although not sure if he'd like salt and sauce with his chips.
  6. Well said and well said Jenga
  7. Thought we might have a chance but after Richie's performance guesting tonight at Scunthorpe now not so sure. At least we have a strong reserve for once. Let's hope the TM makes use of him if required.
  8. Thought for a minute Richie hates Sheffield and probabaly doesn't want to go back to Sheffield so helps Scunthorpe get through, then remembered were out of the Cup!

    That's jolly nice of you. Im sure that makes Fingersfin feel a whole lot better
  10. This is apparently round 3 of this years championship. Interesting to see how Leon Flint fairs. he has been scoring well for Birmingham and yet is still under 16. There is also some local interest with a number of scots based riders taking part. its only £10 to get in and you wont have to put up with any gardening or moaning. Should be great value for money.
  11. Ive calmed down since Thursday so lets see how we do tonight before giving up all hope. Can#t see us winning but a point would be good but then I thought that for Thursday. to the loyal fans that are going down well done and have a good time.
  12. Thank you. Apologies for appearing to be angry with you but our performance got to me. I did not think we'd win but didn't think we'd be embarrassing
  13. And your point is. what does my post say? they gave him an extra ride at heat 15. His 4 programmed rides plus heat 15 =5 rides.
  14. Feel sorry for Workington they could do with a good crowd on Saturday will be amazed if many Glasgow fans bother to travel. I won't be there
  15. Oops we did give him an extra ride heat 15 along with Paul! Just what he needs gets confidence back and ruin it by giving him an impossible race where he has a last place, great
  16. Sarjeant 8 from 3 and we don't give him an extra ride
  17. A tacky sub by Glasgow against howarth and kurtz who had a 5-1 in there first race. Gimme strength

    You really don't like Sarjeant, does he owe you money or something
  19. Rene must be getting close to dropping towards 3.3?
  20. Jenga's account has been hacked. Agree with virtually everything he wrote.
  21. Apologies for the lack of comments but I did say we are gonna try the Workington approach, plus we had no updates either. So it's good to see some positive comments from worky fans especially those sat behind the computer, glad you enjoyed it. Klindt best I've seen him ride don't know why he's been criticised. Also excellent at anticipating start. As for Mason you got a real bargain there scoring good points for a reserve. Anyway off to bed after celebrating Tigers win and some proper speedway with Paul Starkes heat 8 win one of the stand outs
  22. You really are something else. Not sure what that's got to do with the last few posts which is about canceling a match in June with 'riders missing' so we can hold it in October with 'riders missing'. But since you mention it im sure you would have rather beat us in front of a big crowd (remember them) so that lots of people would have witnessed your tremendous victory but by the end of the season (27/10) nobody cared, nobody came to watch but hey Glasgow lost that's all that matters.
  23. That's my point you haven't cancelled matches cos of injuries so why should we and yes we want regular speedway and that doesn't mean whenever 2 teams might be willing to meet each other provided all 7 riders are free that day!! If we race tonight it will be the first time we have had 3 Friday meetings in a row and Friday is meant to be our race night and you think we should cancel! There may be 'free' dates but I take it you magically know these free dates will be suitable to everyone? We offered to race at Workington on a so called free date but it didn't suit Workington so no match - and before jenga jumps in I had no problem with that. but so called free dates aren't necesarilly free. Doubling up might not be a problem but Poland still is and workington have I believe at least 3 riders contracted to ride in Poland and Glasgow at least two. These fixture would take priority over any rearranged Uk matches.
  24. What a lot of tosh. Have you cancelled matches cos Worrall and others have been injured. Injuries go with the territory. Can anyone guarantee that all 14 riders would be available if we postponed it at Workington request and to my knowledge they haven't. Last year teams refused re run dates cos they would not be at full strength and eventually they raced with teams full of guests at the end of the season in front of pitiful crowds. Is that what you want
  25. I thought we should adopt the Workington approach from a PR point of view, you know the let's not tell anyone we've got a good team and let's not hold any home matches, that way no one will complain about the food and drink and we won't lose more money. A brilliant business model! And of course if we race tonight that's saved you c20 points of points money. Win win for everyone
