Congratulations to the Tigers on progressing to the Semi-Final without any difficulty after their emphatic victory in the First Leg. With Somerset unable to call on Dan Bewley to guest, should Wajknecht, still be on the sidelines, the Ashfield leg, should favour Glasgow, though not having Lunna at reserve will diminish their potential fire power. However over the two legs of this Semi, the Rebels will be considered favourites to be aggregate winners. This Topic which you involved yourself in :- Glasgow V Edinburgh Ko Cup Sunday 31 July 2016 Started Jul 16 2016 and which you avoided responding to the specific points raised in the following posts:- #81 Oh & BTW still awaiting for you to acknowledge that you falsely stated the Monarchs had advised the change on the Sunday morning which was exposed as untrue in the SCB Statement. Here's the link as it appears you might not have read this:- http://www.speedwayg...hp?extend.30910 #107 Furthermore, as you are still avoiding admitting you made a false accusation in post #69 on the Scunny vs Edinburgh thread, asserting Edinburgh only informed Scunny of the change, late Sunday morning, When you have been found out making a false accusation, why not admit it Rob?

So speaks the individual who was exposed as posting a complete falsehood on the Forum but never had the decency to admit it. Hardly a trustworthy source.

Ken Le Breton rode for Newcastle 47/48 & Glasgow Ashfield(The Giants) 49/50

Cannot see the overall score ever being in doubt that the Tigs will progress, even if Ryan Fisher had not broken two bones in his foot. Just looking forward to some decent racing on a dry evening with hopefully, Dan Bewley continuing his progress as he appears to now glide effortlessly in full flight.

Not tracks in part of the UK, so therefore do not count.

Willie Templeton also rode at Dunmore Stadium, Belfast on 8th July, 1968 scoring 15 pts for "Scotland" against "Belfast", for whom Brother Doug rode for. Willie also rode in a couple of matches at Wigan Poolstock in 1960 (Ken McKInlay rode at the Wigan Woodhouse Lane in 1952 btw) Neither Doug or Willie Templeton rode at Neath in 1962, as the Neath vs Edinburgh match was raced at St Austell. The only Edinburgh rider to race at Neath was Dudley McKean in a World Championship Round.

It was mentioned that lack of local able bodied volunteers when needed to lay the covers is a problem. As Armadale was the nearest venue to Edinburgh to be granted permission for speedway (after Appeal btw), it is still over 20 miles from the city centre, so that probably restricts volunteer availability.

Think this could be a dress rehearsal for the expected KO Cup semi & Premier Trophy finals between the two. Think Worrall & Lunna will be catalysts for a home win on Sunday, though based on current form, you would not bet against the Rebels coming out on top over two legged affairs, whoever might be the opposition.

Just looked at Wajknecht's results and his scores without bp, in PL/Prem Trophy, on a rolling average basis, appear to have never reached 3.00. Perhaps Statman can confirm this is correct?

Wajknecht, Phillips & Perks are all listed in the latest Green Sheet as 3.00 but are not footnoted (i.e. *) as having an assessed MA, whereas Bewley & Josh Bailey are. Although I have not seen details of actual rolling average per period, I'd guess Bewley was already slightly over 3.00 at the last accounting cut-off date. I'd also be surprised if messrs Wajknecht, Phillips & Perks actual rolling averages were exactly 3.00 as published.

I thought assessed riders obtained a real GSA as soon as they had completed 4H + 4A PL/PL Trophy matches. Dan Bewley completed this by May, so why should he still be designated as having an assessed average on the latest Green Sheet, 3 months later?

Can anyone explain why Dan Bewley is still classified with an assessed MA (still displaying with an asterisk (*) ) on the latest Green Sheets, despite having completed more than 4H & 4A Offiicial matches that count? According to the Edinburgh website they reckon it should be 3.26 http://www.edinburghmonarchs.co/statistics

You''re the one in need of anger management (it's moral high ground, btw ) as you continue to resort to juvenile sarcasm. I understand why you would never criticize your Owners face to face, as you will no doubt be aware, when, amongst others, what happened to long time Tigers supporters, Charlie Ross, when he raised his concerns directly. After all, do you think you would still be able to continue with your happy snapping if you ruffled their feathers? So rather than suffer the fate of local dissidents who dare to disagree with some aspects of the show, I will kindly decline your dare. Oh and btw I have spoken directly with various members of the Edinburgh Promotion, several times, when I have had concerns. PS unlike you, I have a contented existence, and do not need to spend all my time policing the BSF on behalf of my team. You should try it, it might lighten up your sad life

So that is now admitted unreservedly on here. As you deal in facts, can you confirm who compiled his resignation letter,and who was present when he signed it. Contrary to the suggestions on here I do not dislike the current owners of Glasgow, who I have commended for their redevelopment of the Stadium. However there are certain actions by them that I will criticize including the treatment of Berge and the infamous "letter" handed out at the end of the Play-Off final leg. See the usual acolytes are taking umbrage at the nicknames used - talk about hypocrisy when they regularly use similar terms towards the Edinburgh Management. Oh and btw, if you think you will bully me into silence, think again Victory & Barry FYI here as some previous statements on Berge to peruse:- Published: July 11, 2015 Glasgow Tigers are sorry to inform fans that reserve Dimitri Berge has today told the club he wishes to relinquish his team place and return home to France. The reason given by the rider was a loss of confidence. Adam Roynon will guest in place of the 19-year-old tomorrow in the match against Workington. A full statement will be released in due course. (anyone know what happened to the full statement?) Followed by the undernoted on the BSF:- Posted by DutchGrasstrack on 16 July 2015 - 02:52 PM in Premier League Speedway Berge statement: "I owe the truth to the Glasgow Tigers Fans. I did not loose my confidence and still have full faith in my ability to ride - this is not the reason that pushed me to leave the club. During the past few months I was under constant pressure from the management team and I was not in a trusting work relationship, that I believe is an essential part of my sport. I left the team because I could no longer put up with the "ambiance". I will not make any further comment in respect to the sponsors, fans and my mechanic Robert all of whom have always supported and respected me. I would like to thank the fans and the sponsors but also Alison, Laura, Lindsay, Jim, Ian, Jennifer, Georges and I am sure I am forgetting many others. I wish the best of luck to my team mates and to my friend Victor "à bientôt". Believe me they have crossed the Red Line but what is the point of airing our dirty laundry online ! I want the Glasgow Club to keep their honour because of my great respect for you my fans but not for them . Tigers Riders have as safe journey on your way to a long-awaited victory !"

As Berge continues to get vilified by certain Tigs on here, it obviously makes uncomfortable reading to hear the other side. When Sheffield visit Ashfield, why do you not ask him about the circumstances of his posting a statement on the net about his departure. And while you are it, ask him if the the picture on Facebook of his belongings dumped outside his lodgings was authentic, and if so, who was responsible for the scene? Seems a reasonable suggestion, do you not thinks so?

Note you're not denying it eh Still time to concoct your usual fiction about the reigning PL champs

So have you asked Berge what happened and how a picture of his belongings lying on the street outside his lodgings appeared on Facebook? Or were you too busy brown nosing up to Jack & Victor Soprano? Oh wait

Typical distortion of the facts by you - Bellego rode for Berwick in 2013 & 2014 - FACT!

Apologies, did not emphasize it's three Seasons per Rider, so as things stand, Doubling Up will continue in 2017.

Or in the case of Berge and Bellego, every Frenchman's nightmare

For 2017, will certain riders no longer be permitted to double up ? IIRC, wef from 2014, doubling up would be restricted to three Seasons per rider. If so, the likes of Cook, Lawson, King & Grajczonek will have to choose between the EL or PL for next Season. Wonder what they will choose, or will this reg be quietly rescinded instead

Runner up in the NLRC & 9+1 for Kent in the NL last year, Not bad for Ayres, if he can't ride the Rye Track

Kurtz converted ave is 6.17 x 1.4 = 8.64, As JG's home GSA is 9.30, quite legal.

If you have a smart phone, the bar code on the email confirmation, can be scanned directly at entrance from the phone, instead of printing it out.
