I think everyone hoped he'd get back to his pre injury form. Sadly for everyone this hasn't happened. He's done the right thing and hopefully by riding just in the national league he'll build up his confidence. Who we get to replace him is another matter.

Riding for Workington?

Ive just checked 3 different weather forecasts for 'springburn,glasgow' and all three predict it will be dry tonight with a slight chance of a shower over lunchtime. It will be chilly so look out the red and white scarves and hats that have been put away for the summer, you might need them .

Possibly a draw

Is there a cut of for the semis or will we have the farce of last year

I totally agree and confidence is so important. Look at Ryan MacDonald, he can obviously ride a bike and last night when he did make the gate, possibly for the first time ever, he beat the impressive Jordan Palin (and Luke) in a time similar to all the other junior heat winning times but in the other races he was tentative going into the 1st bend. The thing is the management are in a difficult position you can imagine the comments from the tigers haters if Luke was replaced.

Glad to admit I was wrong. Excellent result.

Like other Tigers fans am a bit worried about this match. People forget that Aaron was brilliant for the Tigers apart from the season he picked a Polish based engine tuner and remember he's a former track record holder. The only thing coty lacked was reliable good equipment, when he was on it he was superb. The others have all had decent performances and if they pop out the gate who knows. As others have said they've had competitive action and we've had individual meetings or just practise. Everyone seems to have forgotten cookie is coming back from injury and no one knows how he'll do and luke hasn't ridden competively for a while again due to injury. Hate to say it but can see us losing particularly if we have bike and tapes problems

If wolves do win easily I'll be surprised basically they are a Championship team albeit with an excellent premiership rider at No.1

Perhaps a deluded Workington fan heartbroken that they wouldn't be able to see Kyle riding this year conned Joe into vaping knowing that the repercussions - breaking team code of conduct, apparently abusing hotel manager and fire crew, causing hassle for those staying at the hotel, embarrassing Tigers management in front of sponsors/potential sponsors - would result in his dismissal.

What happened at Glasgow?

Honestly? If I had meant Jenga I would have said 'daft cop and no bad cop '

That's a coincidence I've been watching an old movie 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'. Honestly reminds me of someone on here Either that or two people (good cop , bad cop ) using the same account

I take it the doctor gave you the all clear, I'm pleased, honestly

I think you should go and see a doctor, you're clearly not very well.

Not to mention Somerset whose top 5 look stronger and more expensive than ours

At last I can now understand why rasmus would want to leave Workington

To be fair I really feel sorry for Laura Morgan, she has invested her compensation in good faith but sadly she has done so with the support of a lot of 'richards', fans with the IQ that makes Baldrick look like prime minister material, but then again …….. Anyway lets not beet about the bush I really hope that Workington beet Glasgow at Workington 65-15 and then Worky go bust whith Ramus saying things like I told you so. And why would we believe worky fans even if they are Honest or do important jobs, after all how could we cope without a programme especially when its sold by such nice people

One major problem was the fixture list last year or rather the lack of weekly fixtures. we also raced on Sundsays, Tuesday night and even a Saturday afternoon as well as our preferred Fridays. The crowds for some meetings were good and then it seemed to be weeks before we raced again as a team. I think a lot of momentum was lost and with Cooks injury, racing at short notice and on off nights plus the weather, the crowd did seem to drop of. Hopefully the meetings will be held on a weekly basis and on the same day - presumably Fridays?

Don't have time to check but assume you've posted the same on the Leicester and Somerset pages as the likes of Harris, Nicholls, Schlein, Worrall won't be cheap but then ironically Somerset, Leicester and Glasgow will all have young UK riders in there team. And will the 12.19 used up by Cook and Lawlor cost more than say Wilson-Dean (6.00) and Doolan (6.09) Await post from THJ to gives us the honest facts

it is good to see someone who has only posted 28 times since joining in 2014 adding their educated opinion on Glasgow. Good to know we are worth talking about and that Laura Morgan has such an excellent fan base.

That is absolute rubbish, he was on £20,000 a meeting allowing him to get some decent machinery which resulted in him starting to become competitive in the Grand prix and just failing in a run-off in the GP qualifier

And it looks as if Glasgow couldn't afford him for another year

Perhaps THJ should spend more time clinching deals rather than posting on the BSF; wouldn't be surprised if worky have lost a second rider in the last few days, not to Glasgow of course
