Again on the team building front, I think the location isn't the greatest to entice riders to sign unless the have a massive love of driving up and down the M74 every week.

Stewart Dickson is probably one of the best around but let's remember there were a lot of unhappy Tigers' fans, myself included, with the way he was appointed to replace Ian Steel. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Won the pairs in 2019 which counts as winning something, no? I would pay money to see what you would moan about if we had won the league the last 8 season straight. Probably come away with saying none of them count as we bought every one. Try to relax and enjoy yourself Davie boy. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has made some terrible decisions with who he has selected to put out in ht 15 over the years (eg Danyon Hume at Berwick last season). There were decisions made which lost us points in matches which affected our final league position and thus opponents last season. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh come on what decisions did he have to make at the Pairs apart from what side of the podium to stand on for photographs and in all honesty a manager isn't really wanted in that photograph. The only thing he'll win is the title of most photographed manager 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaizer 2,888 Posted July 14, 2023 While we all now think we should be winning something with the teams we've had, try to remember after 2014 we were nearly gone altogether..and pre 2014, 2011 apart wasn't much to shout about round ashfield. It's night and day in terms of success and entertainment 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
