And just enough left in the averages to announce your final signing who you tempted away from us with your money tree. Rasmus Jensen

I agree totally with you on S Lambert I know the league is weaker this season but he is not going to improve any now is he ? He won't be at reserve and the worry is that neither will BWD and Mason either they are going to have to earn there keep riding in the top 5. I'm not to confident just how well these lads will do riding in the top 5 from the start with only Steve an out and out heat leader. I know Tero was a cheat leader last year but that was in a very poor Newcastle team.

I really like and admire the way Glasgow promote there club and riders. I don't agree the way they spend money after admitting how much they have been looking but it's their money not mine. The social media is great but I just don't see more fans returning. You have Cook again who brings fans in himself without any doubt. I was surprised at the numbers watching last season when Workington visited especially in the play off semi final. The crowd of that size does not pay the bills. You had a winning team most of last season until Cook got injured so my point is even after all the superb promotion of the Tigers the goal is more fans through the turnstiles. It not a dig in any way just that if Glasgow with the best rider in the league promoting the sport the way they do in a major massive city can not get enough fans through the turnstiles what hope have the rest of the club's ?

Don't think Lindgren will be back after a poor 2018 and him refusing to fly in for Newcastle final match at Workington. I think Rene Bach might make a return to Newcastle next year.
-
Razzer going to be a big miss. His form virtually everywhere second half of season was a joy to watch. Some brilliant racing and also some very close calls to be wiped right out.
-
Very very poor decision from Belle Vue in my opinion. Craig is a rider who pulls fans in by his 100% commitment to the club. He is Belle Vue through and through. Most other riders just fly in do there bit and fly out. He does much much more than just ride for the club. Fans events promoting the club that Craig. Very surprised maybe Lemon wants more Aussies in the team next year. That's my desire to visit Belle Vue gone. No Cook no Dan no thanks see you again sometime.
-
No way will Dan be ready for start of the season so forget him for now.
-
Simon Lambert love to read the thinking behind that one. Not improved since her left us. Won't improve average and wrong be a reserve so poor signing. Would rather have taken a gamble on a young unknown rider.
-
Sorry got it wrong Not Josh Pickering wish it was it's actually Josh McDonald
-
Well it seems a known team now Tero Arnio Simon Lambert Josh Pickering Have to be honest I like the first four but not to sure on the team as a whole compared with Sheffield and Somerset. Our top four Worrall Arnio Campton Wilson-Dean Sheffield King Proctor Howarth Andersen Somerset Harris Schlien Covatti Kurtz Scunny Auty Garrity Allen Neilsen That's just the teams that's complete I think we are a long way off there level. I was surprised the team leaked actually added up to 38 points.
-
I get that but last season Rene Nickoli Ty were all known heat leaders that could improve Rasmus was the one who improved. Remember our team average hardly changed in 2018. Mason Bradley Tero and Simon (If named) are not heat leaders.
-
If tth at is the seven riders that Workington are naming it could be a long long season. Put that team up against Sheffield or Somerset who are complete and there not in the same league. Only Worrall there would get heat wins away from home consistently. Just a comment as I am just still delighted we still have speedway to go and watch
-
Wow what a great looking team. Brilliant team building. If you can keep Proctor happy in the pits this team will take some stopping.
-
Some good teams being named Noticed other clubs taking food use of the 2.5% reduction in average for former national league riders. We only got Kyle so far and we can not reduce his 2 point average. How Sheffield and Somerset got there teams under 38 point limit looks great team building.
-
Glasgow say 2019 could be the last year they could take £100,000 losses. We need to see which riders they have signed but my guess will be new riders all on top money again with massive bonus payments again all cherry picked from other clubs by dangling massive signing fees again. That's the only reason why I don't want Glasgow to win anything at all. They are great fans but I'm not into this fantasy speedway team building.
-
I have a feeling Barker might be on tbe radar he gets used as a guest plenty.
-
I'm not sorry to see Ty go. The stories of the fall outs and negativity from him at times this season are all well known. All the best Steady looking after him.
-
I just don't get where dropping the team average reduces costs. All it does is change the rider m market, the riders know clubs are after them due to their average and they simply ask for more money as they know they are wanted. Imagine being in Kyle's position a two point rider that just about every club will try and sign virtually name his price. All it does is weaken teams on track so we will not be seeing the likes of Cooke Wells etc in that league which is a shame. If Workington run I personally don't care what the team is as long as we have a team. Fixtures or lack of are a worry for regular speedway but for us that's better than nothing. Just hard to promote.

Scunthorpe v Workington. Knockout Cup Final 1st Leg
H20 replied to Tosh1218's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Think Workington will be struggling to find a rider for this meeting unless Howarth is up for it. Only Lakeside running with a full team now. Guests at a premium -
Workington v Edinburgh 29/09 7:00pm koc 2nd leg

Well a number 1 scoring 1 point is not on anywhere. Very very poor result and tonight will be a poor crowd because of it. Semi Final for God's sake show some passion -

Fans on here certainly do not know what's been going on behind the scenes this season going by what I'm reading. It all seems good because of results but there is more than results to make the club a happy enjoyable place. It will all come out at some point and I only posted this instance of Ty Proctors behaviour because I thought it was disgraceful last night. The team have done fantastic on track this year but the things that have happened and been said by certain riders this season it's unbelievable just how the team have achieved what they have it really is. Oh and the quote from George English is 100% about Workington. -

I'm 100% behind this team and I agree we should be right behind them especially with the team doing so well this year but when things like this DO happen it needs noted. Yes Ty did help the other riders last night yes Ty did wave to the crowd yes Ty did try in his last three rides but only after a meeting after his first ride to sort issues out. The FACT is and this came right from the pits is that our captain refused to be captain last night for reasons I'd rather not put on hear. Ty refused to sign on as captain and then did not bother to set his bike up apart from putting his tyre on and warming his bike up. He never moved from his seat in the pits and on the parade lap pulled straight into the pits without doing a lap and back to his seat there was certainly no waving to the fans at this point. He sat there until his first race. He gated then pulled up in his first ride after half a lap. Then pulling into the pits did no work on his bike at all. Because there was nothing wrong with his bike. He then had a bust up with his team manager in the pits a full on shouting and pointing affair during the track grading after heat four. There was then a meeting with shouting and talking in the office with Tony and Steve (don't think Laura was there last night) and after that Ty went and then set his bike up and his attitude changed into him now helping others and him trying to win races. Not sure what changed his attitude he maybe just thought about his actions being totally wrong or maybe something was said to him to change it. Luckily this behaviour did not continue for the whole meeting or we maybe would not be celebrating getting into a final. I know he can be a miserable man but this crossed the line for me because this effected his team mate's, the promotion and the fans and I've never heard of a rider do such a thing ever before at a meeting. I've now heard this exact same thing from people that were there last night and seen and heard what went on. -

Ty was captain last night and was captain tonight until he refused to be captain tonight. And his first ride was not his bike giving in either !!!! Like I say disgusting attitude -

If it's true what I heard about Ty Proctor tonight it's disgusting. I don't care what the reason is for him to take that attitude and throw every single toy from his pram. Who else noticed he was not the captain tonight at the coin toss. Disgusting attitude
