Cast1rn 464 Posted January 8, 2023 @SpeedwayTShirts think it’s an outstanding idea. Ully had something very similar last year where for £45 you could have your name on his bike covers. At the end of the season all those who had sponsored were put in a draw to win the covers, goggles and a few other bits and bobs used over the season. Sponsoring riders shouldn’t have to be thousands of pounds and when riders put things like the 100 club together gives fans the opportunity to feel an even closer part of the race team. @SpeedwayTShirts what’s the thoughts on a gloves or Goggles giveaway at the end of the season and then I’ll be sorted for the wife’s Valentine’s Day present. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That won’t be a problem we have several things like that planned throughout the season along with special 100 club events but want to gauge the interest before publishing any further commitment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weeyin 1,022 Posted January 20, 2023 On the home front towards the new season, looking forward to it with an exciting team of racers. Can we do better? Hopefully we can stay injury free for a change, regardless of outcome, I am sure we will be entertained at Ashfield, however I may have to watch through my fingers !!!

Mon the Tigers Soooo looking forward to this season. Don’t think we’ll be short of excitement. Silverware would be a bonus but not the be-all and end-all. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has there been too much pressure on the team to win a trophy in the past and have they buckled under it...or were we just unlucky with injuries... or both? The BSN and Play Off three team sections are a lottery. It can be outwith your control. It only takes one team to have problems in a home fixture , giving the other team a valuable away win and the aggregate bonus point and your team is eliminated. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lewi Kerr and Starkey were the killers imo. But it's part of the game 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn’t bother theTop Men IMO.They will just move on for same deals.Majority of fans these days just want decent entertainment.Pressure from management is to stop crowd levels falling. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tinker 203 Posted January 20, 2023 Not a Glasgow fan as such but travelled up to the GP Qualifer last August. Would really like your team to do well this year and hopefully get that league title at long last. Good luck. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
