Noelinho 922 Posted December 14, 2023 I thought they'd leave Steve to last, but I guess it doesn't matter when we all seem to know the team! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Claus Vissing was shocking for Birmingham in 2022 and this year was excellent for us. Lee Complin's signing was criticised by many yet in the play-offs his points and aggressive riding were crucial in us reaching and winning the league title. Glasgow know how to treat their riders and provide them with an excellent track to allow them to show their skills. The aim this year must be to win all our home meetings and then reach the play-offs. Paul will help us do just that. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nickinho 429 Posted December 15, 2023 Any opinions on the Tigers moving up into the top league next season? Birmingham and Oxford have done it this year and it's not like Edinburgh bring over enough fans for those 3 derby meetings per year to be missed from a financial perspective so I'd really like to see a change of setting next season especially with fewer of the better riders like Basso able to be accommodated in this league even if he wanted to thanks to the new lower points limit which has been set at a measly 38. Bit of a controversial opinion but I just wondered what other people's thoughts on this are. As we've seen from international meetings (especially the GP qualifier) the track would be very condusive to elite riders riding it so the racing would be even better than it already is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beirao 202 Posted December 15, 2023 Basso and Douglas seem to be the only riders missing next season. Tarasenko was always just a short term rental. While supporters may want it, would they turn out in sufficient numbers on Mondays and Thursdays to make it viable? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishersGate 522 Posted December 15, 2023 From a leicester fan don't fix what isn't broken. We moved up and the crowds have slightly dropped and I can't say the racing is any better. It's good seeing top notch riders but there isn't much else I would shout about. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snapper 193 Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) I think the biggest issue behind moving up to the PL is racenight. I think Fridays nights work well for a Glasgow crowd with the odd off night when a rescheduled meeting needs run Edited December 15, 2023 by snapper 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edmon 166 Posted December 15, 2023 Is there a reason the Tigers don't pass the names pn to the British Speedway Press Office? Its not as if people don't know who they have signed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As we've seen from international meetings (especially the GP qualifier) the track would be very condusive to elite riders riding it so the racing would be even better than it already is. I made a podcast with Peter Facenna and in it he answers this very question.. https://pod.fo/e/1f7be0 But in a nutshell, mainly race night. The numbers would probably drop and the lure of top riders wouldn't balance it out especially as said riders would want a lot more money for the privilege. So less fans, and bigger expense, and they don't think that saying Tai Woffinden is in town would really add to it enough. So it's purely a business decision, but have listen to the interview and Peter explains it very well. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
