R.I.P. . J .B. Condolences to the family,Jimmy was a great character and probably the reason that the Tigers are still in existence ,he saw them through some tough times and probably pumped a lot of money into the club to keep them afloat . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As the corners are being taken in to widen the entrances, the straights as a result are widened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Owenbros 38 Posted January 20, 2018 Can't understand how Michael Max is not the assistant team manager if one is really needed. He has done it before and he is a promoter at Glagow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has done it before and he is a promoter at Glagow He has done it before and his knowledge of the rule book is second to none . But I guess doing the centre green at home meetings and work commitments making away meetings more difficult means him standing in when Stewart is unavailable pretty much impossible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would image that only about half of the area with grey dolomite on will be the track. The trench inside the dolomite is for the drainage and one would image there will be a bit of track on the trackside of the trench. Still pretty wide though.
