  1. Given mean more or less same thing seems bit petty to pick holes in it. But whatever boats your float
  2. I think reserves look far stronger this season without the rising stars, the 2 pointers might find it bit harder with no like for like in every team. Kemp shout be kicking on now, in play off matches I saw him at home he was very good, the 2 times saw him at Glasgow thought Willie Lawson was back
  3. Only need to look at Berwick for evidence in 2021. Were in most meetings home and away until heats 11/12 then lost out due predominantly to heats 13 and 15.
  4. Sounds like much same dimensions as Glasgow (the messiahs last track project) since his work the track been brilliant as several racing lines and loads of passing
  5. I'm not clued up on the visa rules but what about Aussie guys who've not been over for a few years? Kozza Smith, Taylor Poole, Dakota North and Arthur sissis come to mind. Was erratic Canadian rode for Sheffield few years back legault. Maybe these guys retired I don't know
  6. Glasgow's traditional race night was Friday night. Edinburgh took it in 1996 as the Scottish monarchs operating out of shawfield and continued to use it in 1997 when moved to armadale. As a result when Glasgow came back in 1997 had to use Sundays. As Newcastle I'm sure will confirm as a Sunday track it is much harder to attract riders and the facenna ownership wished to move back to the traditional Friday night race night. And in addition by that point there was actually minimal fans attending both tracks
  7. My concern is will they allow clubs to do their own in house service which may be seen as a direct competitor? For example bsptv at at Edinburgh, Glasgow live stream on same night would take potential customers away from the bsptv meeting
  8. My point was based on styles not abilities. I'm also reminded of a televised meeting where bjarne was riding against Poole, heat was stopped on lap 3 and was re-run. Turbo twins openly laughed in referees face at his explanation that bjarne could have passed them.
  9. No absolutely he's a class act and you expect double figures any meeting he's in, but he's got his way of doing it and doesn't take any unnecessary risks. Yeah bjarne is another in that mould. Helluva rider but you're rarely going to leave the meeting raving about him. Whereas Noddy, Darcy, Shane Parker (to name just 3) had you on edge of your seat most races
  10. Richard Lawson is a very good speedway rider, but entertaining he is not. Not quite a gating tart but in 3 seasons think can count on 2 hands number of passes he had after 2nd bend
  11. You build it into contracts they need to ride in Britain obviously as well. We're so far behind other nations, Danes have about 5/6 off top of my head that are next in line as potential top riders. Our current crop probably best been around for a long time but we won't do jack if they can't get experience riding on the continent. End of the day look at Lambert and Dan, they leave anyway!!
  12. Him and Anders Thomsen make a good start from the asset base
  13. Well when he's 25 and maybe not extraliga level he'll be needing a place back in Britain won't he? Otherwise I'm sure a prem club will be looking to buy him in 2/3 years time at a nice profit
  14. You know, it's something crossed my mind, with Russia, Germany, Latvia having teams in the polish lower leagues why don't Britain look into it? Get British riders started in Poland and continental experience
  15. Seems like a good bit of business trading Lawson for basso on permanent contract
  16. Yeah can't fall below their original assessed average. Believe Josh McDonald has a true average below 4 (or he did).
  17. Think that's same for everyone. Our last fixture is 4th August
  18. Yeah that's true, down to 11 been around the 13 mark usually. I mean we complain about play offs in November so this should be a positive, just seems a short season
  19. Mentioned it before on other threads but Josh G (even on inflated prem average) would be good. Of course relies on him having place in Poland before would come over I believe
  20. Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't there more fixtures pre pandemic? Didn't we race everyone home and away in league and then the 5 most northern clubs were home and away twice? Wouldn't have minded seeing a challenge fixture before first league match too (not the Spring trophy!!!)
  21. I mean I'm all for squeezing it into the summer months but a 4 month season pretty short ha
  22. That can't be full fixture list on the Tigers site surely? Season starts mid April and finished by start of August?
  23. Maybe should've added was your opinion on your original post Some riders have rapport with a support, at reserve instead of 3 & 4 they may see bit of improvement. Just my opinion but think Hume got more improvement as last season was what only his 2nd or 3rd full season as keeps getting left on the heap. Shanes and Morris been around for years but always float around same average
  24. Correct, so explain how they're "far better". Talk me through their away form comparison then? And why no other club wanted them in place of any of the other riders previously mentioned? And please don't say they were waiting to see what happened with Birmingham first
  25. Correct. Morris had 1 good season few years ago but has gone backwards since, Shanes not a rider I've ever been impressed by and like you say is in the Josh bates mould
