  1. The return of Nick Morris makes it more attractive, though again we need to be scoring right from the start, especially if Screen is missing. We also need Sitera to move up from his 125cc engine of last week. Home win likely unless Barrett and Aspegren turn out to be top drawer! Hopefully we will hear tomorrow what is happening regarding future fixtures and 2013. Richard Lawson in for Screen and r/r for Bager.
  2. Thats true and its also now the same price to get into Ibrox as it is the speedway. Food for thought on admission prices. Hopefully the sale of the club goes through sooner rather than later. If the uncertainty continues into the winter our decent riders like Screen, Josh etc will look elsewhere for a home track in my opinion. Screen's programme notes today touched on the unknown future. There may also be the issue of a new promotion being an unknown quantity and riders being less willing to come. Hopefully we will have a positive outcome soon.
  3. Definitely not the best meeting today but a win all the same. Sheffield petered out when the excellent Wells started to fade although the hard working Schramm at reserve featured in a few decent races. For once Josh was on the money after a relatively poor spell though Sitera was truely awful being beaten twice by McKinna. The reduced entry didn't temp the masses but did look better than previous weeks against not the most fancied opposition. Berwick next week in out final home PL match, then who knows after that!
  4. There goes the play offs then, like it was a realistic prospect! Can't believe Mudgway got paid 6, a couple more points from Bager and Graczonek could have gotten us a point. Never mind there's always next year. Or is there .
  5. Sitera is riding for his Czech club on Thursday according to the excellent unofficial Tigers site. We should actually just call it the official site cos the proper one isn't exactly reknowned for its updates .
  6. Out of interest how many Sunday's has he ridden in Poland?
  7. The weather ruined this one, despite only starting at 3pm, it never stopped and the track became worse as the meeting wore on. Taylor Poole looked fairly poor, perhaps not even fit although the lovely Christina in the box gave him every help possible with 3 goes at ht5, despite having fallen on his own at the first running. Tungate too didn't look too clever in his first ride, although then being withdrawn with sore baws you can't really blame him! Its another 3 points on the board for Glasgow if anything. Interesting news during the match that an offer was made for the club last week, but not accepted. Glasgow also seem to have to find a significant amount of money by the end of the month to pay back creditors for the track alterations last year. Could be a long month!
  8. Another tough one, hopefully as exciting as Somerset last week. I don't think Ipswich will be a strong as Somerset though we have to get going right from the start. Josh conceded two 5-1's in his first two rides last week, hopefully someone has had a word for this one. Mason also can't be any worse than last week though the Witches may just take a point.
  9. Perhaps only if he were to save the track from closure. He did isolate quite a few people along the way with his antics. Reading the press release perhaps a new buyer or buyers has already been in talks and this is the first stage to making it public or trying to push it along. Peter Waite did the same when he was finishing up with messages of last chance to save the club etc etc.
  10. Thats painting a pretty picture for those who weren't there. Despite the scoreline Plymouth were never in the hunt and were gifted points when Campton came off in ht12 when on a 5-1 with Grajczonek. Glanz on his last visit scored 4+1, including two last places. Hardly match winning and he would have been unlikely to beat Campton on current form.
  11. Been there the last time Rusty retired and I'm sure he never saw out a month. However he would be far better than the misfiring Sitera however I doubt averages would allow as it would also mean dropping Mills and bringing in a 3 pointer.
  12. Got a broken leg in 2005 when with Edinburgh and a serious knee injury in early 2010 that keep him out for almost 2 years. If he can gate on the small track that Plymouth is he should be fine. Bowden says he is looking for a couple of points a match and even in his poorest ones for Glasgow, Robert was still getting that. Maybe a fresh venue is just what he needs.
  13. And the rule in 2006 that reserves stayed as reserves all year. His performance and that of Kauko Nieminen helped Glasgow achieve their highest PL placing to that point.
  14. Don't bother with qualifiers, another waste of a blank fixture and for us another visit of Edinburgh. If they have to have it again next year they should take the top 8 in the league at that point and ask the clubs the week before to nominate their four riders and reserve similar to what they do with the pairs. This rider qualification lark is a nonsense with rules applied to some and not others.
  15. Think I'll be using my rain off ticket for the Tigers visit in a couple of weeks.
  16. The biggest problem for Edinburgh now is where to fit this one in. Depending on when that is may prompt a completely new line up.
  17. Best match I’ve seen in a while. Nermark and Grieves were ruthless in getting to the front, although Nermark was over keen in heat 8 with Woodward, who as an ex Monarch should have known its always the faller who walks on that corner. Couldn’t understand rerunning again with 2 riders when the heat was previously almost over. Parker was superb, but missed the gate in the final, not sure if he would have held Nermark anyway, who was a worthy winner. Complin, Henry, Doolan, Woodward and Woffinden also added to the night with some great rides, Woffinden in particular with his inside line racing especially in the latter stages when the dirt had moved out. Speaking of which, I was always led to believe that it was only other tracks that had a dust problem. Seriously though give me dust everytime, with racing that standard, fast and with plenty of drive for riders to catch and pass each other, it shows the level of entertainment Armadale can provide when they put a bit of dirt down.
