More serious than your proposed team. Remind me again what the Glasgow Tigers won in 2026. Couldn't even edge out the Monarchs in the BSN Series. But yeah sure bring Flint and Hodder back if winning is no longer important to Tigers fans.

I didn't like the way the team was built for 2026 and perhaps the strategy of trying to get 3 heat leaders squeezed into the team should change and the Tigers should go down the Scunthorpe route and entice Josh Pickering to Glasgow and fill the rest of the team with Tate Zisckshe's and KJP's and someone like Andersen the GP2 winner on a five point average and then back them up with stronger reserves like Eddie Kennett.

This is the trophy which Cami has targeted all season, he even went so far as to throw away the BSN series, the KO cup and the Championship just so he could focus on this fixture and claim the bragging rights in Scotland. I fully expect to see his tactical genius on display tomorrow night and i confidently predict a Tigers win (in a heat 16 run off).

To be fair to the boy at least he's been consistent all season when it comes to not being arsed. If the averages were based solely on apathy he would be on top.

After writing "At least he won a few heats" you forgot to add "over the course of an entire season". Glad i could fix that for you.

Last night was a great advert for the sport and for BSN who broadcast it but for Glasgow to lose to Scunthorpe over two legs was shockingly bad. Scunny only had one out-and-out heat leader and were a team with Nathan Ablitt riding at 3, Hook riding at 5 and they had a 16 year old reserve who never scored a point yet the Tigers STILL couldn't overcome them. David Howe overshadowed Cami Btown with his tactical ingenuity and the Scorpions were never really pushed. The best heat of the night was heat 11 with Pickering going toe-to-toe with Harris but the best thing about that heat for me is that it was hopefully Mario Hausl's last ever appearance in a Tigers' race jacket. He is undoubtedly the worst Tigers signing in the past ten years. I also predict Anders Rowe will be approached over the winter to sign for the Tigers '27 team.

Ablitt was given the number 7 spot at Poole a few seasons ago simply to fill a 2.00 void. There was no pressure on him because the Pirates had 6 very strong riders to offset his poor scores that year and the fans were extremely supportive of him. He's now averaging almost 6 points per meeting at Scunthorpe and could have another title under his belt at the end of this season. One silver lining for Glasgow is that he's hopeless around Ashfield. He makes strong starts but then seems to completely forget the concept of racing lines and always get overtaken.

He's been detrimental to the whole Tigers' season because with Howarth retired Glasgow needed everyone else to step up and be prepared to fight. I'd rather he didn't come back, if only for the team spirit alone because when he did turn up he always looked gloomy and disinterested. He had two good races all season, both of which he made the gate but in one of them he was pressured into a fall. At the start of the season everyone assured me he was the best thing to come out of Germany since bratwurst but even a sausage on a bike would have been more committed to the Tigers' cause than he is. If he's back next season I'll not be.

Anyone care?

Two of the three riders you mentioned had to retire due to injury

That's a guaranteed 18 points for Sunny then.

Being biased is no excuse for being wilfully blind

I don't know why British clubs don't use tarpaulin to keep off the rain to avoid call-offs. And only the corners need to be covered. It would be so simple yet no club has ever done it. There's no excuses anymore. Here's an example of how it's done in Poland (albeit with the straights covered too) - [Go to 9:45 on the video to see the track covers]

What Harris did was nasty and loutish. He clearly stamped on Ben after pushing him and then carving him off the bike. Disgusting. I've lost a lot of respect for Bomber now.
