  1. Our season is going nowhere which is disappointing after last year's success , we sorely miss the excitement and scoring power of Basso, he was worth entrance money alone. Dropping the points limit so dramatically has affected us more than most as had to lose a few, not bringing back Claus was a major faux pax, I think Tom was always going to leave. We only have 1 exciting racer in the team in Chris Harris and he can't do it all, as for changes, where would they come from as not a lot out there. The added 1.5 increase from anyone in the prem coming in does hinder progress for some of the youngsters like Anders Rowe who is not a 7 plus championship rider but is now saddled with that average. The powers that be have destroyed the championship to benefit the premiership. Championship has been the better league for so long, as for Glasgow ,we should have gone up and kept most of last year's team but alas it was not to be, I have supported the tigers when we were always in bottom 3 of the league so this year's results are not new to me , however it is frustrating when all but 2 riders have increased their average , which are James Pearson and Ace Pijper since previous green sheets. If changes are going to be made then so be it, if not lets support the team and start planning for next season, reckon we must be favourite for the wooden spoon which will please many as they think we flash the cash, which if you ask any of the riders they certainly don't.
  2. Well done Comets, great meeting and my number 1did a captain's job to win the meeting, good to see Conner having some good races too, Tate Zische is a delight to watch and will go far, Comets fans are lucky to be able to watch him every home meeting, we had that delight with Basso last season, Comets are my second team this season, was Berwick last season but you have my fave.
  3. It has changed massively, no more tight corners, multiple racing lines, racing has been the best ever so far this season, even beats Belle vue
  4. No , you have my fave no 1, Craig Cook, who I also sponsor, just ask him, and I am following Celina's progress, no bitterness on my side, I still support the tigers but will always support Cookie as well
  5. So looking at the current greensheets we are rock bottom in the averages along with Redcar and Edinburgh all sitting under 38, this season's team building was a monumental c***k up and we need to live with that, try and win all our home meetings and plan for next season, at least the racing is spectacular, we have been mince in the past, will be character building this year for sure, new fans expect to win at all costs whereas us oldies enjoyed speedway when we were bottom of the league. Good luck to my second team this season Workington, will be interesting following their exploits
  6. Its sorted , £2000 fine and 20 month ban
  7. We didn't ship anyone out last season, we got Tarasenko due to Marcin being recalled by his Polish team as they were fighting for promotion and he felt that they needed him, we would happlily have kept Marcin, he was very popular with the fans. We are now in a position that we need to replace Lee and who knows what management are thinking about that. Losing Lee has cost us big time as he was expected to do well this season but alas his speedway career looks to be finished now. And I actually hope the Comets do very well as you have my number 1 as captain and I am following Celina's progress
  8. Well done Comets, definitely dark horses for the season
  9. I hate the win at all costs attitude, we have a great venue and racetrack and yes I enjoy winning but no one will top Poole this season
  10. Great day at Workington, we got beat but got more points than I thought, although we were lucky with a few of them , well done Comets, a team to watch this season for sure, you do have my fave as your number 1, as for the tiggers, I think this is a year to enjoy the racing. I have followed them a long time and remember the days when we celebrated getting 30 away from home
  11. Hawkins is a tool, replacing Jenkins with Rew, who hasn't scored a point and their top scorer is Dan Thomson, crazy
  12. Berwick would have won the meeting if it had been Leon instead of Claus, Claus showed us what we were missing
  13. The fan lives in Aberdeen and is doing it with his own money, nothing to do with promotion
  14. I had one in the gum where my crown was, the most painful thing ever , even worse than shingles, I wanted to smash all my teeth, saw the pic of Lee's and it looks horrendous, no wonder he was taking pain relief.
  15. Always loved my trips to Berwick and supported them against all other teams apart from against my own, and had great times with the Berwick fans, but this is the first time I have heard Berwick fans boo every Tigers rider during the parade, we all have a rider that we may boo at times but never a whole team, Well done to both teams for a good meeting, I thought after losing Lee we would have lost by more, and as for the accusations of what Lee has taken, we will wait and see what the official outcome is. If it is someting illegal and not a prescribed medication then whatever punishment is meted out would be deserved. I really don't like the football type behaviour that is starting to infiltrate in speedway, I have seen this at a few tracks including my own from some of the newer fans. Lets get back to being able to have a bit of banter between supporters.
  16. What about Sam Jensen, Broc Nicol, Victor Palovaara, would any of them fit
  17. Because Robert left, he is a hard act to follow as he was excellent at his job
  18. Really ? Don't think Glasgow will finish 3rd bottom, changes will be made if riders not performing
  19. So glad my fave has a team place, I reckon Craig will be back to his best in 2024 and Workington track will suit him, he has had a couple of difficult years, Hope he has a cracking season even though I am a Glasgow supporter
