  1. Good man! You'll do for me! Visiting Armadale doesn't mean you've changed your colours, once a Tiger always a Tiger. But I can understand your dilemma. I have to drive past Armadale to get to Ashfield. Watching at Armadale I see speedway. Watching at Ashfield I want my team to win or at least be entertained that added dimension comes into it when you evaluate whether or not it's been value for money when you get home.
  2. Away from home he has not been the same rider either this year or last. Just hope when the season finishes we all remember him for the right reasons.
  3. Oh dear! Something not right when Bager is your top scorer and Ruan second top. Maybe we should be looking at the top end for team changes
  4. Can only be a good thing when it's for rider safety.
  5. Glasgow = Safe Edinburgh = Well dodgy. Statistics speak for themselves.
  6. I wonder if Joe is doing too much this season? NL and travelling to Glasgow every week. He has potential, but is still young and maybe too much at his age?
  7. Craig Cook broke Armadale record last night.
  8. You know how it is Gaz, when you can't beat 'em, join 'em!" "We're rubbish and we know we are..."
  9. On BSF we continually read about how speedway is a dying sport, dead on its feet, etc. Could it be that it's actually a very successful sport nowadays? OK, I've not gone nuts. But offering a different point of view. People say it's dying, etc compared with crowds at football nowadays, or speedway's attendances of the past. I'd argue this is unrealistic. Speedway has always been a sport for the so called "working class". Back in the past they had less disposable income, and less other attractions to spend it on. Just think for a minute. Back in the '60s and 70s how many TV channels did we have? Three or it might even have been two. How many do we have now? And a night in front of the TV is just one of things speedway competes with today and look how its appeal has improved. Newspapers nowadays sell less compared with the past, due to the internet. Does this make them unsuccessful, dying on their feet? No. The only way to measure speedway's current success is to measure it against its potential. Just like any other "product" in the world. Speedway has no divine right to be different. Speedway is a niche sport, so do we expect 5,000 people to turn up to a meeting every week? Get real! Perhaps speedway nowadays measured against its potential is a very successful sport.
  10. What? No ten point win prediction Mr B? Missing you already!
  11. Friday nights in Possil, no worries all the locals are on Planet Weed. Safer than the BSF after an Edinburgh Glasgow derby meeting.
  12. Can't imagine GPs without Tomas. Doesn't even bear thinking about. Need to go and lie down in a dark room now.
  13. OK I'll stick to start girls. Ward fantastic tonight - man of the match. Had so much speed and looked like there was some in reserve!
  14. This could be a belting final. Ward / Holder watching for each other, Zagar takes it.
  15. Tai just went wide in that 2nd bend and like those before he dropped down the places when he did. Pity.
  16. Having studied the form, I can find no fault with your riding order.
  17. Nothing personal, but so glad MJJ won't be winning. Now we won't need to ensure two weeks of MJJ fan club on here talking with her mouth full, or MJJ hanging out the back!
