  1. Swindon dont have the kind of money to buy him outright , i would think Poole , Coventry and maybe Wolverhampton would be the only ones capable of buying anybody these days .
  2. Two groups of three , with home and away fixtures . Two group winners in a two-legged final . Don't think Edinburgh have seen the last of double-headers this year
  3. If Tabaka misses the remainder of the season , the lack of reserve firepower will find them out . They need him back badly if they are to have a chance .
  4. I'm pretty sure we will be . Hopefully the new owners , whoever that turns out to be , have the financial capability to put a competative team on the track . Would love to be free of the constraints running on a Sunday afternoon brings , hopefully that's one thing that can be addressed . Teamwise , i think it will be a very different septet that takes to the track . Age catches up with everybody , and whether Screen and Grieves are riding in 2013 must be shrouded in doubt . Grajczonek has made it clear he is not in love with the Ashfield circuit and i think he'll be looking for pastures new as well . Campton has had a successful opening British campaign and i would like him to stay , likewise Bager who has done very well since coming in . Would love Nick Morris , Theo Pijper and David Bellego back , but whether that is possible is not known . So a septet of Nick Morris David Bellego Theo Pijper Mason Campton Henning Bager And whatever is possible points limit wise for the remaining two riders .
  5. A perfect example of why you shouldn't listen to ill-informed tittle tattle at a speedway track . Joe twisted his knee and damaged ligiments at Plymouth last Friday (7th) and will miss 2-3 weeks . Nothing more entertaining than that i'm afraid . Erm no
  6. I enjoyed yesterday's meeting , and got the hangover to prove it . Though as has been a constant theme throughout this season , the rain tried it's level best to ruin things . Berwick fought hard and looked capable of getting something from the meeting , but Son of God and James Grieves with 5-1's in heats 13 and 15 soon prevented that happening . Son of God was superb , surely it's about time he stopped messing around and claimed his birthright by wearing the Tigers number 1 racejacket permanently . Tigers never really had a weak link though , well Sitera apart , and it was nice to finish the home league campaign with 3 points . For the Bandits Bellego and Alden started like a train , but fell away towards the end of the meeting . Was well impressed with Barrett , Berwick looked to have stumbled onto a good'un there . Just 3 away meetings to go now , starting with the House of Fun on Friday .
  7. Last home league meeting of the season this coming Sunday , but it gives us a chance to enjoy the riding of ( possibly ) 5 of last year's 9 riders we used in our title winning campaign . Joe Screen picked up a knee injury at Plymouth last night , so his participation is very doubtful . But James Grieves and Josh Grajczonek will take up their usual places in the Tigers' side , whilst the Bandits will have Nick Morris guesting again for them and David Bellego is the other title winning Tiger on view . Henning Bager must also be a doubt after missing Plymouth last night , following his groin injury sustained last week . While this has been a hugely disappointing and worrying season after the joy of 2011 , it would be good to finish with 3 points . Our visitors have had a nightmare season with injuries , but will still track a septet capable of giving us problems . Sunday's teams are - Glasgow Tigers 1 Son of God ( guest ) 2 Mason Campton 3 Josh Grajczonek 4 Henning Bager or R/R 5 James Grieves 6 Charles Wright 7 Filip Sitera Berwick Bandits 1 Nick Morris ( g) 2 David Bellego 3 Nikki Barrett 4 Robin Aspegren 5 Seb Alden 6 Micky Dyer 7 Klaus Jakobsen Impossible to predict how this will go , as the Glasgow line-up is still unsure . But at least it's forecast to be drier than the last time the Bandits were due in town . Late flash . Joe Screen wont make it tomorrow . Son of God is his replacement . A Lawson wearing the number 1 racejacket for the Tigers ......................oh the memories
  8. They haven't not qualified yet , so don't congratulate yourself just yet
  9. no idea about the EL , but the Prem date was put back a week because of all the rain-offs clubs have suffered this season
  10. Away from the usual nonsense , and back to the meeting in mention . As supporters we just have to accept that a rider is not able to clear the track in time . I know it's frustrating when a race is stopped when your team is on a 5-1 , but even if a rider isn't hurt in a fall he only has a matter of seconds to clear himself and a prostrate bike from the track . I remember a Workington v Glasgow meeting a few seasons back and i was shouting all sorts of unsavoury stuff in the direction of Garry Stead , when i thought he could have cleared the track when he didn't . A few months later the poor bloke was in a wheelchair . I feel terrible about that and maybe we should step back and think a bit before letting our emotions take over .
  11. That being the case , she should know better than to have a pop at texters and updaters then
  12. Well said Sue , it's always the ones that never do it that complain .
  13. Yes , glossing over that unfortunate fact . Is it not about time you were starting a thread for the BEST social occasion of the season Spinny ?
  14. Will make the play-offs . Solving the reserve problem is the biggest task your promotion has now . Had Tabaka stayed fit , you might have been looking at your 4th title in 10 years . Now i'm not so sure .
  15. I think whatever the outcome of the sale of the club turns out to be , any Glasgow 2013 side will bare little resemblance to the one we watched today . Forgot to say , respect to the dozen or so Sheffield fans stood on the back straight today . Your club is having the same sort of disappointing season we are , so to travel all that way to support your club ,in what was basically a meaningless fixture , deserves a lot of praise . Well done guys .
  16. Aye not a pulsating cliff hanger , but enjoyable enough . Grajczonek was brilliant today , especially the race he sat behind Wright and kept Schramm behind him . Grievesy topped off a profitable 4 days with another superb display . Sheffield were well served by the EL Wells and Franc , when he gated . Hall and Skidmore were disappointing though . Not a huge improvement on the crowd as you say , but then Rangers were playing at Ibrox this afternoon .
  17. I've seen it so many times round Ashfield . There's not many better than James in keeping a faster rider behind him
  18. Did it look significantly bigger ( the crowd ) to what a Berwick/Monarchs meeting usually attracts ?
  19. More and more promotions are realising that speedway is over-priced . To be fair to Scunthorpe , they were always one of the more reasonably priced tracks . Berwick did it last night , Glasgow are doing it today . More need to realise that to stop the crowds staying away is to make it affordable . I hope the Eddie Wright raceway is packed out for these meetings .
