Haha , this is a traditional BSF Christmas thread

Been offline for a few weeks while moving house etc , what the hell happened to the forum ? it's all weird looking

Agreed , definitely the poor man's Glasgow

He's obviously got wind of the proposed change to the starting procedure for next season . Tommy the tapetoucher will benefit greatly from that .

But you do in sporting and entertainment events . Both sides of the argument have been well made and both are valid . We'll just have to wait and see if it causes an impact on the attendance level of the more mature supporter when the tapes rise in March . Apologists for the owners will back them to the hilt regardless , but I cant help feeling it's a bit harsh on supporters who have followed the Tigers over the decades and now find themselves at a certain age . We already have the most expensive speedway in the Championship , this is just another squeeze on the long term fan .

And Iversen

We always are anyway

I'd need to come and join you in the Black and Gold every weekend to get my speedway fix in that case lol

Our owners have done most things right , but i cant understand the thinking behind this decision . It beggers belief

Keeping them back just incase we get a couple of Edinburgh promoters shouting " spare change " outside the grandstand

We keep them for toilet roll

I don't understand the reasoning anyway . Surely when the Gallacticos are in town , the home tracks will be sold out with the punters drooling over the magnificence of the men in stripes .

Well that's the millions spent and the team of Gallacticos assembled . Just awaiting now the delivery of the golden coloured shale and the diamond encrusted big screen . Car park all marked out for the company Ferraris which will ferry the riders to the closer , more poverty ridden , tracks . While the state of the art lear jet will transport the riders to the more southern based tracks . Sponsorship from our good friend the Sultan of Brunei has been secured , even though the price of our season ticket was almost beyond his means . Looks like another interesting season ahead , and the stadium will be looking pristine come March after the Winter band of stadium workers clean the grandstand seats up with twenty pound notes .

I should be paying my yearly visit there that night

A strong engine room though , an almost certain dependable back up to two strong heat leaders , home and away . Only needs for James Sarjeant to leave his disappointing 2017 campaign behind ,now that he's back at the scene of his most successful season yet , for Glasgow to be serious title contenders .

Ah so , it's not the winning , but the taking part that counts . That's where we've been going wrong

Cracking night at Ibrox last night ( haven't said that for a while lol ) , welcome Chris and James to the Stripes and the great news we are becoming a FIM track and hosting a World under 21 World team cup round in July .

With Lakeside , Peterborough and Ipswich all in our league the possibility for a decent southern tour exists . All I need is for the fixture planner to use some common sense and I can start saving up some beer tokens

Couldn't agree more . A fair and well prepared track and two evenly matched sides and you forget all about the politics and red tape complicating the sport we love .

If he's anything like his Dad it would be wonderful to enjoy having him as a Tiger of the future .

As the season approached the tickly bit , a raft of rearranged fixtures meant fixture clashes resulted in the inevitable " select " sides being inflicted upon us . Fixed race nights for the top league has to happen .

Suppose until after this weekend's events in the Canary Isles there isn't much to talk about on here and the sly digs start to appear . Once we all start announcing signings things will get back to normal and Berwick threads can erupt into civil war again .

Only answering one of your own

What is it with a minority of fans of other clubs who are consumed by jealousy thinking that Glasgow are somehow rolling in cash . Yes the owners spent a few quid on upgrading the stadium , which to be fair without that happening it's doubtful Ashfield would still hosting speedway , but they've said from day one that the speedway has to pay for itself . Better to concentrate on what you have rather than casting an envious eye elsewhere .

We get it , you were disappointed with James , time to move on .
