I wasn't there last night but this has to be one of the best posts ever on the Forum. thank you sir

Seems to have been a dramatic night and hope Fernando OK. However from a Glasgow point of view we lost 4 points through no fault of our own. We have seen matches run in really wet conditions to get to heat 10 and a result. Could heat 10 have been started with an agreement both Glasgow riders have engine failures once the tapes go up. So a 0-0,ten heats complete result stands

I hope the Glasgow management act professionally when Redcar offer dates for the re-run. I've checked the fixtures and 26 October 2017 appears to be ok for both clubs.

We may have financial clout but its not a bottomless pit. The facennas have made it clear they want to break even following their initial investment. According to official facebook Gerry was going to speak to the crowd before yesterday meeting. Don't suppose it was to wish them happy holidays 😩

And of course it was won by Richard Lawson

A rider shows a bit of passion, gets the crowd going and some people complain. Riders used to get a bonus for doing this in the past from the promoter 😊

You could also say it depends on whether our bottom 4 can take points from any Sheffield riders. Nike back from injury, Dan, tom and jack will try there best but struggle out the gate. If we get anything we'll have done well

I don't think allthegearbutnaeidea is a Glasgow fan

Even more pictures posted on Tigers discussion page - pictures v scepticism - you decide but I'm going

Pictures posted on tigers discussion facebook page. Track ok. So seems it's on 👍

It's funny when home riders find it difficult to overtake it's always the tracks fault. Maybe the away riders just happen to be quite good 😉

BBC weather forecast says dry by 4pm and it'll start to get a wee bit warmer 😃 so hopefully on and the natural watering will produce a good surface for racing

It's good to see Mitchell top scoring and getting 5 rides specially since monarchs seem to only give him 3.

Is Andre making a comeback or perhaps its Benji

Well done lads, good to get a point. Just a pity no home meeting this week to keep momentum going. Also we have a good weather forecast 😞

Not sure I agree. For those that don't rate Nike look at this video http://www.glasgowtigers.co/video/tigers-vs-newcastle-diamonds-sgbc-heat-5/ He is a fast wee rider and his rides can only be taken by Richard, Dan, Tom and Jack. Richard should score ok but no disrespect to the other 3 but they are young and inexperienced at this level. On the other hand hope your right

I quoted 2 posters to show how divergent monarchs fans in their opinions. If you don't like it tough

Two quotes from the monarchs chatzone . poster 1 Track poor due to Dickson's fixation with home advantage, and we didnt gate. Poster 2 Young Dan was interviewed and said he had never seen so much dirt on the track but it suited him fine. Don't you just love them? Suppose when you read both posts what they are saying is despite the track not being slick the monarchs couldn't pass

Well got that wrong Despite losing Nike, hope he's ok, an easy win for the Tigers and clearly Dan and his bike were just fine, what a wee rider absolutely brilliant. From a Edinburgh point of view only Mark Riss impressed on a consistent basis and the good thing is he'll soon be in the team so Monarchs will no longer have a top scoring reserve

Luring us into a false sense of security

You clearly haven't read her recent leaflet listing 144 achievements 😁

That's cos your the Moanarchs

I share your pessimism particularly if Dan's no.1 bike was damaged as reported on one of the forums last night. Also hope he's ok after his 3 falls

As has been said earlier the problem was a lack of water. The track was ok for Newcastle match

Would Nick Morris fit once the new averages come in?
