Not sure why Glasgow fans get so defensive about the wages situation. Circumstantial evidence relating to the number of south of England based riders, especially promising up and coming ones,  who have ridden for Tigers over the last few years would certainly suggest that it’s not only because they have a super duper track and stadium (as Messrs Brown and Lanning remind us every week in Speedway Star). Tigers are entitled to sign whoever they want within the rules, or even exploiting them to the limit, at whatever budget they think fit. No point in denying it. The upgrade to Ashfield is evidence that the owners are willing to allocate a large budget to the speedway side of their business.          

One thing's for sure, he's more loyal to British speedway than play off Bob...

Don’t think it was a coincidence that leading up to that Sheffield meeting, after a bone dry Spring where there seemed to be blue grooves at most places, we had a fair bit of heavy rain the days proceeding that meeting. That resulted in an excellent race track that provided plenty of entertainment.    Unfortunately since then, we’ve had a bit of a drought again! Warm weather and little rain means it’s incredibly hard to get enough water down in to the track before it evaporates. Could have done with a downpour or two today..

I think the Latin is billybillballselfish-itis 

hink he just want to have one last blast round a track on his own just to do it. for his own mind.

For anyone coming who has to cross the Orwell bridge, be warned one lane closed and 40mph, been absolute chaos. Allow plenty of time to arrive.
