Glasgow Tigers 2027

[Mr Blobby]

The wee German can’t get round the dale and in the desperation to win the Scottish cup told him to no bother.

This year when Kyle H first retired his home average (with 5% uplift) allowed 8.83 for a guest Sam’s average at the time was 8.77 so for the home Scottish cup match against Edinburgh and the home league match vs Berwick Sam was eligible (and in theory the league match against Edinburgh but Oxford were riding that night).

Sam’s average went back above Kyle + uplift on 1st August 

Yeah wasn't thinking of the extra 5%. Not a fan of a rule that helps teams be stronger when missing riders.

I don't see any 2.00 NDL riders about that look like they'll score well in the champ. So if the limit stays at 41 then probably looking at the likes of Hodder, Perry, Foord, or Jack Smith for the reserves (I would be surprised if Hagon was re-signed, even though he can be really fast round Ashfield when he gates. Tailed off too many times recently).

I think this will be a big problem for several sides next season. The NDL just isn't a conveyor belt anymore and the few 2.00 riders that are close to stepping up are still probably a season away. Doesn't mean i don't expect to see Binns, Norman, Fletcher or Southwick thrown in somewhere but it will remain to be seen if the go the Ingram or Etherington route....

Monarchs don't seem to know either, their pre match piece just says Foord is guesting for him. Article infers that we are doing it to strengthen up.

Hausl's Facebook post yesterday makes reference to seeing the German team manager on Saturday and Sunday, so maybe riding for Germany in something?

Given that management want us to go and support the team, you'd think that they would do us the courtesy of telling us.

In the absence of being told an actual explanation I'm just going to assume that we've told him not to bother coming over for it

I wouldn’t be surprised. There’s been several occasions, Friday night included, where he’s looked like it’s his first time on a speedway bike.

Disappointing, regardless. The paying fans deserve an answer.

Foord and Perry combined would be under 6. It would fit for 38, but you could probably include Flint for Rowe or Zischke if it's 40 (I haven't actually worked out any 2027 averages, but his final average is almost exactly 2 higher than Zischke & Rowe).

Either way, I think we should bring back the 4 team tournament!  

Would look something like this, depending on pts limit...

1	Harris	7.93
2	Albitt	4.85
3	Zischke	6.56
4	Cairns	6.44
5	D Thompson	7.55
6	Foord	3.3
7	Hodder	3.31
		39.94

Would close my curtains if that team were riding in my back garden.

TIGERS 2027

1 HARRIS      7.92  / FLINT 8.24

2 FOREIGNER 5.00

3 DAN THOMPSON  7.54

4 ZISCHKE 6.52

5 ROWE 6.38

6 FOORD 3.23

7 JACK SMITH 3.04

 

TOTAL = 39.63  /  39.95

Am sure I heard Harris state that if the Championship remains 1 home/1 away ,he wouldn't ride in it.

I know Smith has never got out the Reserve berth ,but on his day he is good at Ashfield (sometimes)
