  1. Last one was a very decent meeting , which might have gone Berwick's way had the unfortunate Ricky Ashworth not crashed out of the meeting ( and i'm beginning to think the season ) Glasgow's team changes are very interesting and have the potential to make us a lot more competative . Berwick have more than a couple of riders who have shown a liking for the Ashfield shale in the past . Impossible to predict who might prevail tomorrow .
  2. After last week's individual nonsense , it's back to proper speedway this Sunday as we welcome the Bandits . With James Wright calling it a day and Harley Horwood going back home , it's a big Ashfield welcome to our new Tigers , Andre Compton and Jonas Raun . How we will line up is a mystery , but Joey Ringwood should be fit and drops to reserve . Berwick will obviously fancy joining the recent list of winning teams at Ashfield , and with the likes of Eddie Kennett , Kozza Smith , Robin Aspregen , Bellend and the lively reserve Nikki Barrett , this will be a cracking encounter .
  3. I didn't go to the individual meeting yesterday , i don't really like them , so i never heard the announcement . But from what i can gather it's family reasons .
  4. No he wont , dont be silly . As people have said , apart from the font of all speedway knowledge above , Andre wont have to do that much to be better than James Wright . So there's not really much of a gamble as far as i can see . However , is this the oldest heat leader trio ever assembled in PL history
  5. To me it makes perfect sense considering they're down south anyway
  6. Deja vu then . Did these two clubs not take an age to agree on dates for their KO Cup tie last season
  7. So glad you brought this up Cyclone . Sean is quite right , the supporters are behind the team . Ok we get frustrated as nobody enjoys being on a losing run and that can manifest itself with posts on here , but on the whole the fans are totally committed to the club and support what the new promotion are doing .
  8. I think the hope is that Patrick Nagy shows us something in the Ashfield Classic next Sunday . Mind you , how good would that be .
  9. Seems i'm in the minority , i enjoyed it today . Okay we were well beat by a better team , but i thought there was some decent racing . Obviously nobody was going to get near Son of God , he was a class apart . It really is now about time he stopped messing about down in Cumbria and took up his birthright . Kyle Howarth was also very impressive , overall the Comets just had too much in the tank for us . But you cant knock the effort we showed , and had we not lost Harley in heat 6 , then who knows what might have happened as he looked much better up to that point - hope the lad isn't too badly hurt . But this isn't a one season project by the new promotion , despite our current turmoils i think we are headed in the right direction . There's something magical when you see those racebibs with a big Tiger on the front that makes you feel glad you were born where you were . We'll come through this spell , of that i have no doubt . But tonight well done Workington , you were worthy winners today and your travelling fans were wonderful ambassadors for your club .
  10. I think the announcement is more about what sort of meeting we're having next week , but it could be " bring a friend "
  11. Once the early morning haze burns away , it will be a lovely afternoon . Obviously the Comets will fancy their chances of all 4 points , and all recent form suggests that . But our boys will be fired up to end this terrible run we're on . C'mon the stripes .
  12. Yes you really feel so sorry for the team on the receiving end of an 8-1
  13. Yes , the Croatian national football team know all about that
  14. So a fortnight after our home humiliation at the hands of " the beast from the east " , the meetings don't get any easier for our misfiring Tigers . Since the Edinburgh match we've lost the services of James Wright , who has seemingly fell out of love with the sport and has looked a shadow of his former self , and we've lost Joey Ringwood to injury which happened in that crash with Mitchell Davey . So it's Scunthorpe's impressive Ashley Birks guesting for Wright , and r/r for Ringwood . But we'll have to raise our game dramatically to get anywhere near the Comets . Couple of ex-Tigers in the Comets' ranks in the shape of Rusty Harrison , Chris Mills . And of course there's his holiness , the Son of God Richard Lawson who also is joint track record holder . Really is about time he took up his birthright . How Workington cope without their early season hero , Micky Dyer , will tell us if they can challenge for a play off place , but going by the way Glasgow have seemed to have lost their way , they must be strong favourites to claim all 4 points on offer tomorrow . Teams for Sunday - Glasgow 1Joe Screen 2 r/r for Joey Ringwood 3 Ashley Birks (guest ) 4 Henning Bager 5 James Grieves 6 Harley Horwood 7 Joe Jacobs Workington 1 Son of God 2 r/r for Terrible Aarnio 3 Rusty Harrison 4 Kyle Howarth 5 Rene Bach 6 Ashley Morris 7 Chris Mills With a favourable weather forecast , we should see quite a few clad in blue and white on the back straight tomorrow . And on all known form they should be the ones celebrating come 5 o clock .
  15. Cant see why not . James is , in reality , with-holding his services . R/R for the away meetings at Plymouth and Leicester , and the home meeting with Workington , next weekend would seem our only option . After that the new averages will kick in , then we'll see where we are , who's available and who's affordable .
  16. Two 3 pointers never works , regardless of how strong the top five is . We went down that road in 2004 and finished 11th .
  17. Spot on . 30 point plus home defeats gets tracks closed down .
  18. You think that was bad , you should have seen us at home today
  19. Probably still have hit 60 against my mob even if you had
  20. Joking aside that was the worst ever home performance i've seen from a Tigers team in my life . Woeful doesn't come close to describing it . A score like that would be bad enough at the dump , but at home Joe Screen cant take on teams on his own , especially not teams as good as the binmen . Today , sadly , highlighted the gulf between the two Scottish sides . Looked a pretty decent crowd in the stadium today as well , despite the Scottish Cup final and Cyclone not being able to make it . Plenty thinking to be done in our camp ahead of our next home meeting against Workington in a fortnight . We've been patient , we've praised our new promotion for their efforts to make the club a success and we've backed the team . After this weekend's toothless performances , that team has come to the end of the road . Who we can attract ? Who is available ? And are they affordable ? Is something messers Biggart , Pairman and the directors will have to address before the season implodes and the Red Revolution bandwagon comes off it's wheels .
  21. Dont think we can attach any blame to the track , we could have had this meeting in Bydgoszcz and the result would have been the same . We are just not competative away from home , simple as that
