SharpenRake

well no ones started a thread yet, probably all too busy getting ready for the big meeting at armadale tonight, so I'll give it a go. A few weeks ago Redcar were only 4 points down after heat 12 before we eventually ran out winners by 12 points. They welcome back wee lassie bjerre who was out injured when we last raced so that should strengthen them or weaken them depending which lassie turns up. Both bellego and Andersen appear to have hit some form so they could do better but then again we have the benefit of Richie riding, r/r last time. be good to see some team speedway again and hope the crowd is as big as last weeks semi. Whatever the result, we'll win no probs, it should be another entertaining afternoon.

Good to see that Edinburgh have managed to put on such an attractive fixture on the 20th. That would have been the day of the british semi-final at Glasgow until Edinburgh objected because they knew they would have a fixture on that night. Hope they get a big crowd.

Richard isn't tigers captain

even if we'd got a point tonight would have still thought we've no chance tomorrow and still do. Doesn't mean we are a bad team, we are a team that will reach the play-offs and that is what matters

Think you are right. Hope blobby and co keep talking down there team and monarchs fans decide not to come through. we saw what happens when there are only a few monarchs fans around in the league cup match, the monarchs riders didn't seem to give as much as you would have thought and we won easily

Well Berge let me down only got paid 14 . wasn't there but herd that aaron is waiting on some engines (?) so add 8 to his score and it would have ben a good effort from the boys.

Am not quite sure what you are saying they absolutely soaked the ttrack the day before and before the racing. it was a bit heavy on turns 3 and 4 but the times were fast and some races were competitive especially when they made the gate and the Summers pass was unbelievable

This WILL be our toughest meeting and no chance of a point. for those travelling think of it more as a pub crawl and just enjoy your selves

I've resisted commenting on this so far as my recent attempts at forecasting our home matches have been rubbish. Just think berge will come back and bite us with a full max and if so we are dead and buried. Hope I'm wrong

Well my forecast was a bit out. Have to say the reaction of the fans was good giving the team a great reception on the victory lap. Well done track staff, no dust problem just wish there was a quick way to replace punctured fence panels.

Think this could be harder than some people think. if the track is grippy Scunthorpe - Auty, Douglas and Davies will give it a go. Still think the tigers will win. Just hope we can keep the dust down - dust in your beer, not good

I'm pleased to see all the diamonds fans on here thanking Glasgow and their riders - barker, Richie and Victor (hopefully a nice loan fee) and not to forget henning who also helped, in a different sort of way

Its good to see you being so positive. sadly monarchs will probably win tonight

Hows the weather? Any microclimate issues we need to know about before we come through in our droves

Let's look at this another way. Cookie needs more meetings and money. Why would he agree to sign if he was going to miss lots of meetings?

Seriously you'll be saying next your 'friends' with The Scotsman

I'm a bit confused. On reading the article and Blobbys comment it appears Max is getting messages on his facebook page from someone he doesn't know and who doesn't attend the speedway anymore. Why o why is he a Friend?????????????? unfriend the bampot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! simples.

Mitchell's Visa - good name for a band 🎶 Nice bit of marketing there blobs. But perhaps you could have added tigers will probably not try to hard as they don't want to get injured and they also want to stop monarchs from trying to manipulate they're Average. Try that in your press release

Feel sorry for cookie. All the keyboard pundits said he must ride in Poland otherwise he's got no ambition. Now he's got no money ☹

Exactly Scotsman - you get it

Since we seem to be comparing things thought I'd mention my local pub's curry is cheaper than our local indian restaurant guess which one I prefer 🍴

Seeing as a new thread been created am reposting, wouldn't want people to miss it Think tigers should look at the long term here and allow monarchs to hammer them. Would benefit Scottish speedway as more people would start to go to armadale once they saw they had beaten the speedway stars favourites and would help stop monarchs potentially manipulating there averages

as others have said perhaps a mistake was made reducing prices last year so it looks worse this year. Also all the increases have come at once maybe could have kept programme at £2.50, so you basically pay £20 to get in and for a programme? personally I don't think its dear especially compared to other day's out. On Sunday perhaps crowd was affected by morning rain - for those that didn't come the track was the best this year. I heard there were traffic problems - so perhaps a few turned back knowing meetings now actually start at 3pm and therefore they miss a few heats. I know a few people who still go away for the may weekend. I was tempted to stay at home to watch the Leicester match on the tele, perhaps others did. Finally the Glasgow warriors had a big game on Friday night and a lot of folk can only afford one night/day at a sport event. Some of these other distractions won't be around in a few weeks time its then we'll know what the crowds are really like. Oh and by the way what an awesome performace from the Tigers, I thought panthers would get a point1 I'm forecasting a huge win for the monarchs on Friday
