Well Blobby totally agree Alex isnae the chairman anymore but we are talking about when Lawson was transferred to Glasgow - remember the post below - which was before the start of the 2015 season when a Mr Harkess (thanks Jenga) was chairman. Notice you admit you were told something and therefore option one applies, a shame as I was convinced it was option 2 (manure) - my original post is below as a reminder. Its also good to know as Gaz has commented you don't care if you post the truth or not - says it all.

Well Mr Blobby here we have an interesting problem - so did Glasgow pay £20,000 for Lawson. think theres 2 options. lets assume they did (shock horror you must be joking) the only way you could know that is if a promotor/owner told you. why would Glasgow or Workington even speak to you? So who else might know lets see someone at the top of the BSPA who is given confidential information, information that shouldn't be leaked under any circumstances, say for example a Mr Harkness. The enxt question is did he pass this info straight to you or via a 3rd/4th party - not looking good is it? I suppose the second option is that you are talking manure, again.

Another song - dead ringer for love? 😉

See those perhaps 'in the no' got it wrong on the Roynon front - signed for Workington

Thing is with Victor away our assets are a bit thin on the ground assuming Berge and Anders aren't coming back. If the rumours are true 3-4 of the team are likely to be riding in the EL and 1-2 in the NL so we'll still have a doubling up problem. ironically riding on a sunday probably makes us more attractive to some riders as none of theTigers home matches will clash with EL teams.

So can you confirm monarchs aren't going to cash in on cook.

Or maybe an existing Tiger Think that's all options covered

Typical BSF fan assume the worst. the galsgow promotion have made it clear no announcements,other than the leaks, until after todays AGM. The midday on Tigers facebook site refers to tomorrow 4th. damosuziki clearly has heard its tomorrow and got his tomorrows mixed up. As for Blobby's comment, being in the know, he knows it was always tomorrow but surprisingly he's just stirring, not like him.

See Nick top scored for Australia in U21 team Cup, only aussie to win a race! As I keep saying I'd have him back.

I've heard that to - presume there mates so perhaps Justin has put a word in?

I would also love Nick back. His away average is higher than his home average and higher than Richard and aaron. In other words the type of rider you need if you want to win away from home and be competitive in all competitions. he did hold the track record for a while so can clearly ride ashfield. I would have started with these three guys and james, subject to agreeing terms, and then got out the calculator! Hopefully that's what Stuart has done and everything else is just rumousr or 'dodgy leaks' as I've suggested before.

I trust the whole ranger celtic thing is just banter? No matter think its great that the club are giving funds/rent to another club that is in need of money. Getting back to Glasg0w 2016. read various ideas, permutations for potential team, lots tongue in cheek (hopefully) and others showing immense insight? So a serious question if people have been given the info why are they posting it on facebook/here? presumably the owners have not announced these 'signings' for a reason? If so they must be annoyed that someone has leaked the 'signings'. or have the leaks been leaked to get fans reaction - I want james back - or have they been leaked to see who leaks info? Whatever, please please NO Fisher! Am away for a sit down and a leak!

Would imagine most Edinburgh fans would be sad if Justin doesn't come back, after all you did rescue his career.

James wouldn't fit and I don't see them not signing him

Sorry Fisher has too many issues for me. Visa problems for him and family; doesn't look for his partner; sadly on the way down. Can we not stick by a few riders, get consistency, build team spirit, riders who are good with the fans/kids/sponsors - so agree with Richard and Aaron. Also think James showed total commitment and he now knows what it takes to ride in both EL and PL so he should be able to understand better what it takes with the travelling, sorting out engines, etc. if we did go for a top heavy team I would get Nick back if possible. No doubt more rumours will emerge after Sunday's practice! Thank god its fantasy; it would finish in the bottom half of the league if not worse - three 3pt men AND cookie dropping his average!

lets get this back to who is likely to be riding for the tigers in 2016 and who we'd like to see taking into account it looks like Sundays again - in other words no Anders Thomsen, Craig Cook, Max Fricke, etc! Wouldn't it be nice if you could retain your 7 riders for the following year, chopping and changing can't help with team spirit , sponsors, etc. But believe its still 42.5 for team building which means we have to lose a rider or two from our current seven - there average come to 46.9. Richard, Aaron and James are musts - all getting better, all passionate about the tigers, good with the fans, don't need to fly them in and out of the country and good from a marketing/sponsors point of view. With the NL fast track rider at no.7 that would mean 4 riders 25.49 leaving 17.01 to accommodate 3 other riders. The 4th rider is crucial as he will be the 3rd heat leader - would Nick come back. Despite some critics on here his real average, fromSpeedway Star is 8.31, with his official average from BSPA 7.91. So yes I'd have him back - just need the track to be prepared more consistent at home. That brings you up to 33.4, so 9.1 for 2 riders. Suggestions?

The reason many fans stopped going to Shawfield was because of the guff being spouted from the centre green every week telling us how the racing was better and the track better than when the tigers raced there.

Exactly, just what I said. And yes my dad's bigger than yours!

I think you'll find that the posts were concentrating on the speedway until page 25 when a Mr Blobby, who else, mentioned a 'letter' whilst trying to explain the behaviour of 'some' Edinburgh fans at armadale. So hate to say it but 'you started it' and lets be honest, can't defend it!

This is gonna run and run basically Edinburgh fans are being told what the letter really meant, they obviously can't be trusted to read it for themselves - god they might think Glasgow have a point! For those not on facebook give it a go its got even more 'interesting' views. someone suggested that Wolbert cheated the Glasgow public last year and edinburgh has benefitted - does that make him a 'benefits cheat'? as if anyone from Edinburgh would do such a thing! Surly the Daily Mail should investigate?

I agree Victor was totally unpredictable but he has proved he can pass, a stunning move around Ostergaard comes to mind. yet in other races he followed people around. Just wonder if track preparation has something to do with it. Aaron and Richard are experienced and can adjust set-ups but Vic is still learning and perhaps he felt unsure how to adapt???/ Re-Fisher and PK assume this is Stewart up to his tricks again. telling people don't tell anyone but we've got ?????? lined up for next year. We must Have Richard and Aaron back both are in the top 10 of the averages for 2015 and why spend money buying them if they weren't going to be used for more than one year, from there on its down to averages and who'll fit, who'll travel and who isn't riding abroad on a sunday.

My goodness that was close, but congratulations to all 7 riders and the manager. pity about speakers failing in the stand but didn't seem to matter to the crowd they were really up for it. well done in getting them working again, so glad we heard James, Richard and Aaron at the end! proud to be a tiger

Didn't think Rangers had any season ticket holders or was that during the Green era!

Think crowd was affected by the road race in the city causing havoc with traffic, still a lot better than last year. Hope they raised a lot of money for the BEN fund. Saw lots of tenners in the buckets. Now on to Somerset can't wait
