  1. Berge will be serving a ban for the same number of days that we have been given a facility for, therefore he can potentially sign with another club from Monday. If it is Redcar we should not be playing ball but demanding a transfer fee and being equally as obstructive and obnoxious as we found Havelock during the winter, and not releasing Berge's paperwork. Going to Redcar however is only a piece of hearsay right now and I really don't expect to see him in the PL again this season, he gets homesick you know.
  2. You little beauty! Summers has a blinder yet again on the road. #monthetigers
  3. Time for a re-write to make it more specific. It can be interpreted differently by those applying the rules and that lack of consistency is the major criticism.
  4. Despite the BS posted above we are still no further forward with a replacement for Berge never mind Howe. It seems the facility runs out on Saturday and we have a hard meeting on Sunday against Peterborough. It could be that the BSPA have rejected a legitimate signing, 'not being in the interests of British Speedway' or that there actually isn't anyone available and we have to run with an NL 3 pointer! An interesting few days ahead.
  5. Glasgow will have to rely on the top three of Morris, Lawson & Summers to bring in around 40 points to have any chance of gaining a point. Every one except Morris can take a Howe r/r ride. Morris has had 2 weeks off so may be rusty but needs track time with PB at home this Sunday. Sarjeant has been poor since being injured last month and moving into the 1-7. Amazingly he never jumped the start once last Sunday but that won't last! Our reserves for this one are a write off, a bit like Berwick a few weeks ago where nothing at the bottom end cost us a thumping. Think a point is too far for us to reach in the circumstances!
  6. Had the decision making on each of those occasions been made public, we would know that, would likely accept it and move on. However it wasn't and won't ever be, leaving us again at the point that the decision made regarding Berge has disadvantaged Glasgow.
  7. If we had transparency from the pathetic body that governs UK speedway we would know that. Perhaps Berge made a statement to the BSPA saying he was pushed, perhaps there was another reason from Berge we are not aware of. However in the absence of any public communication from the BSPA we are left to speculate. The paranoid would say its just because its Glasgow, others would say it is to protect other PL clubs, we just don't and will never know. Bearing in mind we are already a man down with Howe injured it does seem like we are being completely shafted in reducing the standard 28 day facility to 14 days. As it is we have 6 days left!
  8. Another very good crowd again hopefully any newcomers were not put off by a poorish meeting. Was interesting to hear that we have only been granted a 14 day facility for Berge and not 28 days as stipulated in the rule book. Apparently this is in the interests of British speedway! Once again this information should not have had to be made public in this way, it should have been published on the BSPA website the day the decision was reached. I am interested to know the decision making process behind this and if they voted, how each member of the MC did to arrive at this! Secret decisions only lead to more questions and accusations of some clubs being treated less favourably than others! As it is this is day 8 so we need to find someone this week.
  9. Potentially tricky fixture against the enigma that is Berwick, you just don't know what your going to get. Glasgow off the back of 3 away matches and Berwick a home defeat. Hopefully Jorgensen won't be in ht15, he added 45 minutes to the meeting last time taking to the deck entering turn 1 when he didn't gate, injuring himself in the process. Forecast is to be dry all day now, bring it on.
  10. Wouldn't be difficult. Perhaps the new engines ordered in 2014 have finally arrived!
  11. Another 4 PL points bagged and a superb night for Victor again on a small track, pity he couldn't ride like that at home. Its high time Stewart Dickson started being harder on Sarjeant and telling him in no uncertain terms to give up anticipating the start. He could have cost us tonight and never seems to learn. I was dismayed reading in a recent programme that Sarjeant thinks he is being picked on by certain referees. Nothing like deflecting attention from the real issue that he is not as good a rider as he thinks, if he has to continually go before everyone else! A short term strategy that is doing him, his team and its fans no favours. #monthetigers
  12. Seems a friendly crowd on the start line from the Youtube videos, maybe they are scaring others from attending Scunny! If that's evidence to make things clearer, god help us!
  13. He only came in in June, give him a chance, everyone else has had 3 months ahead of him to get going. There is no hiding place in a struggling team but Workingtons issues are with their longer term riders and not having a No1.
  14. Not the greatest forecast for Sunday. The strong wind today should help dry up the torrential overnight rain, its what tonight brings whether the track will be raceable or not. Hopefully we can get it on, we still have rained off matches to run.
  15. A right royal pumping handed out by the PL's best team. Morris would have helped us over 40 but that's about it.
  16. Absolutely, take the standard route!
  17. Temperamental Frenchman, high pressure manager, both are likely true. Wonder if Berge is working his ticket to ride with his mate Dave B next season!
  18. It would have been a challenge with Morris riding. An absolute pumping potentially on the cards.
  19. He can be pretty decent round a lot of places but tends to start off well then quickly fade in the latter heats.
  20. A very difficult meeting for Glasgow to get through now. Wells for Morris makes us pretty weak at No1. A lot could depend on which Richard Hall turns up, avoiding last places is crucial. Kurtz will be superb round Sheff and an in form Jorgensen will also score well. Hopefully he who can't behave himself actually does and everyone stays save as a result.
  21. No thanks, we sacked him/he stepped down in June the previous season and was very poor. Not sure I could cope with the number of false starts he and James Sarjeant would create in the one meeting!
  22. Replacing Berge is the priority just now. Howe's r/r rides can be taken by everyone except Morris. I thought Dmitri would have gone well at Sheffield on Thursday but not to be.
  23. Without them you'd be wasting your money on third rate Brits, of which even them there are not enough. Speedway should be listed as a shortage occupation by the government whereby we can import the skills we don't have - not 3.00 pointers but the bar should be set at 5.00 for PL riders to achieve a visa IMO.
