    For those that don't think the track looks that much wider from looking at photos it's at least 6 to 7 feet wider so should be brilliant

    Glasgow 2018

    Full marks once again to the facennas. The Tigers official facebook page https://www.facebook.com/glasgowtigersspeedway/ over the past few days is full of photos and stories about the team all decked out in team jackets/polos/and t shirts. All the team have been up for a few days at boot camp/go ape training days, a fun go kart day including fans; and finishing with a big meet the riders night last night organised by the supporters group at Ibrox. The place was packed. A lot of money has been raised - the supporters Group donated £5,000 towards additional medics/ambulance. I suppose every club is doing this and we just don't here about it?

    Its the new year but nothing changes. Two Berwick fans having a disagreement, I'm with you on this one screm, assisted by a worky fan, who else but jenga. Happy new year to all fans, owners, riders and sponsors especially if they are rich

    WHAT A FARCE ... AGAIN!

    I don't like the concept of doubling up/down BUT it appears it is necessary at least for the next year or so. I seem to remember someone suggesting that if you have doubling up/down it should be limited to those riders that are 100% committed to UK speedway, no matter there nationality, and that to me would be fair. If Scott/Eddie can't double up they will either retire which is no use to anyone or seek to ride abroad which doesn't help UK speedway.

    Read it carefully, it says Minimum and maximum converted averages being 3.00/12.00. Converted averages refer to riders who don't have a 'proper' average in the league and so a converted average is used e.g. Jake Allen at Scunthorpe.

    Enough names have been quoted for 2 teams

    Berwickbandits2018

    The alphabetical list has jpb as being 2 point average so you could use him

    Peterborough Panthers 2018

    The alphabetical list has riders with a 2 point average

    Team Makeup’s

    For everyone that asks the question - don't know if this team will fit when suggesting their ideal team - you can work it out for yourself as the averages are on the Speedway GB site. Here is the link to the riders listed in alphabetical order http://www.speedwaygb.co/files/downloads/c17_issue_final_alphabetical.pdf I'm not the best speller but you would have thought that someone would have proof read this important document before issuing it. Even I have spotted 3 basic errors so there's bound to be more

    Surprised if Schlein was signed. It rains a lot in Glasgow 😋

    Glasgow 2018

    Not surprised. If Swindon stick with Doyle Nick won't be able to ride for them. Not sure if any other Premier team could fit him in which means a championship team and as he is riding in Poland his options are really limited to Thursday or Friday night teams. He showed he can ride Ashfield winning the riders championship and with James grieves at his side could be a clever signing

    Official Teams 2018

    Can we keep this thread for actual facts? There's plenty of other places for hopeful ramblings.

    Aaron suffered from bike problems after the Berwick away match and couldn't get back to where he had been despite even getting his tuner over from Poland. He also didn't get a double up slot which limited his earnings I'd have him back at Glasgow.

    Workington 2018 .

    If this is about fans staying at home to watch craig cook on the TV then as another poster pointed out with the lack of fixtures you can fit your matches around the grand prix.

    Glasgow 2018

    He made a cracker for Workington in the last match of the season at Ashfield and to be fair to mcgregor he did not call it back, which surprised a good few people

    Lakeside 2018

    Still a Glasgow asset so they'll be looking forward to receiving the loan fee

    Glasgow 2018

    I wonder how we've managed to get a Friday night when we were refused in previous years
  22. I'd try and get a new face on the management committee to replace one of the old school. Someone like Stuart dickson of Glasgow

    Speedway ... A Way Forward

    I could be wrong but think a 4.51 premier average would be rounded to 4.5 and the 5.421 would be 5.5
