  1. I feel the need to come out in support of young Liam Gallagher fan , or whatever himself or herself calls themself these days . The forum is a bit of fun and shouldn't be taken that seriously . He , or she , likes a wind up - that's great . Our sadly missed from the forum Tiger 2799 used to do the exact same thing and it's funny . At the moment we have someone getting sniffy on the Comets v Panthers thread about someone calling Ales Dryml , Dribble . Would we rather have a forum full of that ? We moan there's no personalities in speedway anymore , well lets not snuff the life out of the forum too . I think the young lad , or lass , is great and the more fun on the forum the better .
  2. Not sure , hope he's not too badly hurt though . The lad has been the shining light in our season so far and a big future in the sport looks to be within his grasp
  3. Erm would you care to expand on that one Jenni
  4. Was funny though . This irate Geordie said to him " think you're in the wrong pub pal " . We managed to explain things before it got silly . Happened to him again , wearing the same top , in the New Barrack Tavern in Sheffield ( a Sheffield Wednesday pub )
  5. They had won the right to gloat , that never bothered me in the slightest . Was the internal politics that p1ssed me off . The rubbish stirrers and troublemakers . I turn up to support the team , have a bevvy and go home again . I leave the politics and the slanging matches to others " rubbish stirrers " dear me . i used the jobby word
  6. Binned it ages ago mate . The Glasgow pages became an embarrassment and apart from that it was just folk moaning and taking pictures of their dinner . So ............................ And i can well imagine what it must have been like last Sunday night , so i'm well out of it .
  7. Glasgow got pilloried two seasons ago for calling off a meeting against Sheffield , when the general consensus was that it should have gone ahead . We were told we had to bring in a referee to call off meetings in the future . No doubt this wont happen here though
  8. We dont most of us who read other threads know what we're dealing with
  9. Was thinking that myself when i looked at the scorecard . Former PL Pairs winner at the OTA , and i remember him being a very good guest for Glasgow one night there too . Sad to see .
  10. I don't have a lot of faith in that last bit happening . Just a shame Fisher boooooooooo , isnt there . OK we hate the bugger , but he's entertainment . Son of God , for all his holy ancestry , is pretty much a gating tart . Fisher and Berge and Thomsen in the same meeting would be quality entertainment
  11. Make up your mind , you either bit or you didn't or are you just not sure ?
  12. Good point . EL third heat leaders seem to have the worst of the deal in the new EL race format , while second strings have their averages falsely inflated . It's a shambles , but could open that door to the likes of Scott Nicholls
  13. We only have those when we have a lengthy injury list Blobs , you must have heard that before through in Smugville
  14. Forecast for tomorrow is better than todays , if you believe the BBC that is . Berge has been our shining light in a difficult start to the season , not quite got to grips with Armadale yet but he joins a long list in that club . Yes the performance at Redcar seemed to be much improved but its still played 6 lost 6 and i fear we wont improve on that tomorrow
  15. We had to pay a couple of quid to get a day membership , but it was well worth doing
  16. Following on from the " best and worst " thread , what about us guys who dont bother with food at the speedway . Glasgow - the Ashfield Bar is pretty much like the bar in Star Wars , avoid at all costs . Horseshoe Bar in the city centre then taxi to the track is much better . Edinburgh - not really a pub near the track . There is one on the road on the walk from Armadale cross , but you walk in there and all the locals turn round and stare at you . Some not bad pubs in Bathgate though Berwick - loved the Brewers Arms and the Queens Head , but the Black and Gold club is the perfect speedway bar Workington - the bar at the track suffices , i do go into a Wotherspoons in the town centre which is ok . We do our drinking in Cockermouth beforehand Newcastle - the Fossway is fine , unless you are my mate Alan who went in there with a Glasgow Tigers top which unfortunately had red and white vertical stripes Redcar - no pub nearby , but the track bar is good Sheffield - just love the New Barrack Tavern across the road and along a wee bit from the track Peterborough - good Harvester pub at the entrance to the Showground , but a bit of a hike to the track from there Somerset - excellent CAMRA pub in West Huntspill called the Cross Keys , Bristol Bridge near the track is good too Plymouth - stopped at the Premier Inn near the track so just used their bar Rye House - The Rye pub is the daddy of the PL pubs Ipswich - stopped in a Premier Inn next to a marina and the pub next door was good . At the track though it doesnt open till 45 mins before the start and shuts bang on heat 15 Scunthorpe - we were in a pub in the town centre which had signs about having the right to search for weapons was a bit of a dive . No pub near the track , but the bar there is ok Swindon - Cold Harbour across the road is superb Leicester - good pub in the wee shopping place along from the track , wee bar in the car park too is ok Poole - couldnt see a pub near the track , but the bar under the stand is ok Birmingham - Wotherspoons a short walk from the track is a decent boozer Coventry - no pub near the track , but the Cocked Hat pub next to the Premier Inn i stopped at was good Belle Vue - Snooker Club across the road was three pints for a fiver last time we were there
