  1. Is Nagel still lined up for Glasgow as you previously posted? At that time you also said that you had tried to sign various overseas riders but they turned you down so its really sad you seem to have now been turned down by a 2 point Brit.
  2. I hope the ref sues you. Why are you calling him thick??
  3. Glasgow can only sign 7 riders. They have to conform to the rules in relation to team averages. Once Glasgow has signed these riders and agreed terms with them how does that force other clubs to offer silly money for all other riders in the world? The real issue is the money Poland can offer. Incidentally no one mentions the money that Peter Carr, Freddie Schott, etc were on.
  4. They were being polite. Be honest if a rider has a choice of riding at a proper speedway track or ......... what do you seriously think they'd do?
  5. Give Lambert a break. He borrowed an engine tonight to try and get some more points and it ended up in the bin.
  6. You've clearly not watched speedway at Glasgow.
  7. Would this be Drew Kemp (excellent rider) who scored a maximum 12 points against Plymouth? Does this mean you consider Plymouth to be one of your biggest rivals?
  8. Tremendous meeting, great crowd and atmosphere, proper speedway!
  9. Does no one talk to their friends or people standing next to them anymore. OK if it's raining I can understand why people want a quick meeting. But yesterday the weather was fine and there was plenty to talk about. Fans ask for more dirt and don't want dust but then don't want delays when it needs graded or watered.
  10. Have to agree with you. Berwick with 3 ex Tigers in their team gave it everything. Cookie showed some speed and will surely get back to his best with more laps under his belt. Jack Smith showed he can still score useful points at Ashfield. For the Tigers, Dan Thompson was pure class and he and Leon looked a lot more comfortable riding together. Bomber was bomber and I hope fans don't start taking him for granted - what a rider! Special mention for the efforts of the 2 reserves with Freddy's defeat of Danyon proving crucial. Best of all we have qualified for the BSN semi final and we still haven't all clicked.
  11. Good to know you've switched allegiance to Glasgow or did you mean to say 'If I was a Glasgow fan I'd be concerned about Ashton's start to the season with falls, bike problems and injuries affecting his scoring, but as I'm not a Glasgow fan I'm not really bothered just thought I'd post something negative as that's what being a Berwick fan does to you.'
  12. Plus Jack Smith is likely to score well at Glasgow and probably Redcar giving Berwick a chance of nicking points from these fixtures
  13. In theory yes, but if the said rider then comes in last how has your team benefitted? There's obviously more to team building than just looking at averages. And by the way well done to the Tigers.
  14. Wood strengthens the Monarchs. Can't see the Tigers repeating their Cup victory. Need to try and keep it tight and hope for the bonus point.
  15. Obviously Edinburgh have done very well in signing Sweden's best pair to ride for them, who would have thought it? Perhaps Sweden have gone for up and coming riders rather than picking Jacob Thorssell or Oliver Berntzon or Kim Nilsson 🤔
  16. 500 chairs???!!! If you are going to criticise at least get your facts right.
  17. It's nice to read fans from other teams reminiscing about the good old days. Just to bring everyone up-to-date with Glasgow 2025, the team won the 1st leg of the Scottish Cup at Edinburgh on Friday, our nominated pair finished third in the Championship Pairs at Workington on Saturday and Chris and Kyle finished 1st and 2nd in the CRC at Scunthorpe today. Not a bad start for the class of 2025.
  18. Sadly we won't see Polis but on the other hand it makes Edinburgh stronger on the night and likely to win and allows headlines like 'Despite no Oscar performance, the Monarchs come up victorious thanks to Victor'
  19. Are you planning a monthly attack on the Speedway Star? For the record I think they do a very good job.
  20. Glasgow supporters held a meet the riders event last week and started the season with another brilliant donation towards the cost of the new FIM air fence. Great work by all concerned.
