012.4.4 Rider Replacement (RR) Facility allows the absent rider’s programmed rides to be shared out between other team members (including any Guest riders), subject to: - a) the rider who by MA is directly above the absent rider and all riders below may take one RR each b) a reserve can have more than one RR c) RR is not permitted in Heat 15 d) only one position per team may be declared as RR e) a nomination once made cannot be changed f) A rider nominated as an AR may, at the Team Managers discretion, take any ride at any time in heats 1-14, apart from the protected riders position in heats 2 and 8. Whilst the minimum ride rule does not apply, the maximum number of rides is 7. Bedtime

Just checked that....not that i doubted you. Jeez Lee hasn't scored a single point at Poole this year lol

You obvs haven't watched many Tigers matches pre Sept/Oct.

I'd love someone to ask his thought process as regards to HT12 in the past 2 meeting. I just can't get my head round it.......But if Lee was willing to come out and have 7 rides then ...... To answer your question no. There is plenty of folk on here who would be better team managers that maybe aren't as great a guy

That's what i mean....i didn't even know Jack Smith was injured.

Will be interesting to see if Cami gives Ace 4 rides on Wednesday. That's assuming Ace is scoring like he has been since he came back from injury. Also excuse my ignorance but can Jack Smith take any rides tomo for Ace or Lee if either aren't scoring ?

Am i missing something or do the reserve's need to have 4 rides ? Why would you put a rider that has scored 1 all meeting against one that has scored 7 (at that point) ??

We'll it's happened. Hopefully your right in your prediction.

Maybe I'm reading too much into things but does anyone else think the promotion have the other 4 members of the team already signed, just not announced. The road we're going down seems to suggest (to me at least) that we will have Bewley, Lunna and Smith as 3 of the next 4.

Was only one teams riders doing all the retiring though ;-) .......which kinda tells you all you need to know

Just my opinion but i'd say the track was totally fine (when i say fine, it was wet, but not much standing water on the track) I just think that one team wanted it more than the other. You had a few Workington riders chucklng it after less than a lap if they didn't gate.

I thought that as well, looked like he had read the advice people were putting up on here. Wasn't over riding, trying too hard just nice and relaxed I was waiting for him to mess up a corner but it never happened. I thought the track was almost too good which makes for fast times but not great racing. I'm happy we won but the lack of passing slightly concerns me but that might just have been the quality of the opposition

They got it wrong, its Robert Branford and not Dan Bewley tonight

Agreed it wasn't the best match to watch, track was pretty slick and times were over a second slower than we usually have.

Barker Out Rene Bach In https://www.facebook.com/glasgowtigersspeedway/photos/a.722111727804017.1073741829.695900720425118/1361994643815719/?type=3&theater

I'm starting to get slightly concerned with Barker, just from watching him he just doesn't look fast at all. I dunno what is wrong but hopefully he get's it sorted. I dunno if his machine problems are anything to with the fact he's using Jawa's, only other rider i've seen using one is Lasse Bjerre. I just assume there is a reason most riders use GM's. Didn't George ride his own engines ? I know he had a JSR which i thought stood for Jiri Stancl Racing, i might be wrong though.

I dont mind the entrance but i have curbed buying food in the stadium, i'll not bore you all to death but the quality has gone down since the start of last season but the price has remained the same. Agree with the comments about viewing on the back straight, i did move from my usual spot on Sunday to just off the 2nd bend just where the riders come out the pits and the view from there was really good.

Yeah my heart sank when i see Redcar had signed Jonas B Andersen.

It will happen i'm pretty sure of that, i wouldn't be surprised if they take as far as the courts. Will make boycotting Armadale a doddle ;-)

Probably shouldnt admit this but i actually agree with him.

I'd be inclined to say the Monarchs are just a much better team thus why we looked totally rubbish

One rider with an average above the guy missing (in this case Morris) and anyone below (Palovaara, Sargeant & Stichauer)

Cheers for clearing that up. On Kauko's recent form it probably does make us slightly better i suppose.

Are we allowed a guest ? I'd prefer to see 7 v 7 but i can see why Edinburgh wouldn't be too happy if we got one

At least give us a small glimmer of hope ;-) It would make financial sense as i'm sure your aware.
