  1. Shame because Cookie is a racer and is delightful to watch when on song, which he is at Glasgow most times
  2. If Cook is back at Lynn ,I would expect him to increase his average as he should be used to the track, Lynn should do better next season if everyone can stay fit. Hoping to make my first ever trip down next season
  3. Can we please leave the forum speedway related and leave politics out of it. Iets keep the chat about speedway, thanks, thats what makes me happy.
  4. He wont last long if his attitude is like that
  5. Dont they all say what they think you want to hear at the end of the season
  6. What loyalty speech ? And to whom?
  7. Welcome to Glasgow Sedgy, strange Edinburgh feel to the Tigers next season, anyway if Ricky and Justin can give the same commitment that Cookie does then I am sure they will win the fans over. Still it will be a little strange at first, Claus will be missed by a lot of fans, he has a big following at Glasgow.
  8. Workington showed the way in 2018, Glasgow hopefully have learned from that as last season we won lots of races but equally had too many last places. So this season we have went for strength in depth with a strong number 1. Hopefully 1 of our boys will increase their average significantly and do a " Rasmus " , my feeling is that Broc Nicol or Sam Jensen are the guys likely to increase by at least a point. Leicester look strong but weak at reserve (which we were last season) Good luck to the diamonds, glad they have been saved and will be down when Tigers are in town.
  9. I dont think Shield or play offs count in official green sheet averages
  10. Obviously the BSPA don't keep an eye on how popular these championship events are, they are always well attended
  11. They made a huge miscalculation re numbers required for Programmes, pairs is always well attended as it is day before Cardiff GP , although I did notice more Premiership fans than usual, probably there to see the double up riders. In saying that , I felt last years field was the strongest for a very long time.
  12. The aussie on a 2 has a British born Mother and has a British passport and has chosen to be British , unlike some of our British born Aussies that used the system and have chosen to ride for Australia.Connor wants to ride for GB not Australia.
  13. Since Glasgow has been refurbished , there has been a large increase of females, especially younger ones attending. Before refurb, you just wouldn't use the toilets as they must have been the worst in the country, no light only 2 female toilets in the stadium. Now they are plush, with running hot water, having nice toilets do make a difference for us women who attend speedway, Glasgow crowds are now about 50/50 male and female, so I would say that it should be a bit more of a priority. That may be a reason why crowds are going down in places. I go to the pairs event, track and racing brilliant but viewing is awful, especially for short people like me and not enought toilets, and they ran out of programmes 1hr before start of meeting, which was shocking.
  14. Nicol and Kurtz are on a 4 because they are foreigners not because they haven't ridden PL , Ayres would come in on his converted CL average. No foreigner can go below 4 in PL.
  15. Zaine has put on twitter that he doesn't have a team in uk, which is a shame as I think he has potential
  16. Glad other teams are following suit, we need to make more of the digital world, cracking video
  17. I am surprised that Zaine Kennedy doesnt have a club, he was on my wish list
  18. Yeah, you got that right , I love statistics and working out teams, I am a bit obsessed though
  19. I have noticed that a lot of premiership fans have no clue about riders in championship, I like to keep an eye on all leagues to see who is doing well and who would be a good prospect for my team. Speedway updates are a good way of doing this, dont just look at results but check the comments about each race. There is some cracking racing in championship and national league. Was chatting to Kelvin Tatum in Torun and he admitted to not following championship, which showed when Rasmus Jensen and Ryan Douglas was on tv meeting and Kelvin was surprised at how good they were.
  20. I find ranting Roy entertaining , although I only get to listen to him when Glasgow are in town, he tries his best and is better than quite a few centre green announcers
  21. I hope there is a good turnout too, glad the Diamonds are running next season, just need to get people to support them. I will be looking forward to my trips down with the Tigers.
  22. He could turn out the next Rasser, although he will need to learn to gate like Rasser. I will be keeping an eye on Swindon and Kings Lynn next season again, hopefully Rasser will keep on improving, he is a joy to watch alongside Cookie, our heats 13 and 15 were awesome to watch last season, Can't see Cookie and Ricky doing the same, but you never know.
