That was said at Ipswich and Rye House when Sheffield went to race there, and we all know what happened. I think it will depend n how tight we can keep the scores throughout the meeting. Either way hopefully both teams can put on a good show and do the Premier League proud.

Should be an interesting match up tomorrow. On paper you would have favour the Scottish Tigers. But it could be that weather might play its part, the Glasgow promotion will move heaven and earth to get this meeting on and if the weather is poor then that usually makes it a leveller for both teams or can even pass advantage to the away team. I think if we can keep it tight from the start we might come away with a win or nick a point, which will be another fine performance for Yorkshire Tigers. May the best team win.

Easy to spot he wears glasses.

Definitely would agree that it was Rye who handicapped by Guest riders. Seems to be a theme running through some of the Scunthorpe fans that they make excuses for any shortfalls big or small.

If If If Lots of ifs there. But I reckon that Shadders wins the if game. Mind you if Josh could manage a few more race wins then the Scorpions might have pulled off a win.

He did okay, but he is not a natural Team Manager, I think Joe initially wanted and was brought in to be Coach to the riders. Jack Lee has been a Team Manager for so many years and we are now seeing the team properly managed. Jack changing riders team positions to suit different tracks where they ride well or not so well.

A proper Team Manager, its a long time since we had one at Sheffield.

Another win in the win pile. Big Thank you to Josh G for a stella number 1 performance. Upwards and onwards for the Yorkshire Tigers.

Was not stated that Richard Hall asked to be left out of the Redcar team due to not having any equipment and money for speedway. Have the Berwick promotion been forced to lay out the funding for him to get some bikes together. Also is Richard riding Long track this year, if he is could it be that he could be missing s fair few of the Bandits home meetings.

Big difference taking laps on your own compared to actually competitive racing.

Not too sure, it is said that it is bike problems, but his scoring has dropped of the scale since Steady's and Bellego's accident at Rye which makes you wonder if it has effected him. But he was out on the bike for quite sometime after the meeting on Thursday so maybe it is the bike that is the problem.

Not too sure what the problem with Ash Birks is at the moment. But with Arthur you have to remember that he had only had around a hand full of competitive rides on a 500 before he came over to race over here. So despite the hype (which came from other fans from other clubs) he is still pretty much a raw novice, so there will be times where people could be disappointed with his performance at away tracks when he rides there. But as we have seen at Sheffield he has shown improvement with every meeting and I think that we will see the best of him next season. Interestingly the word that when we race Rye he got better as the meeting went along a track that is totally different to his home track.

The BBC weather forecast is one that I usually look for. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2638077 Looks like we should be okay.

So British speedway is ruined by the fact that Tai is not riding in this country this season? Total and utter tosh. You pick a team that is going to give you the best chance of winning, and having Tai in the team gives us that chance. A successful National team should go some way to building the future of the sport in this country. I would rather talk about who after Tai and Bomber we bring into the team for the final team places, I think that Rosco has the perfect opportunity to bring in some fresh new blood.

Cannot believe that this subject has gone to 5 pages long. Is it not the objective of any team to put out the best possible team out to at least try and win. Of course the answer is yes. So when we have one at most two proven World Class riders why do we want to drop a rider who has a World Championship Gold medal on his CV to be dropped. Tai has not said that he does not want to ride for Team GB, only that he wants to give league over a miss, as he finds it too demanding for less financial reward, he is not the first and he won't be the last to come to that conclusion. In any other country the suggestion of dropping a World Class sportsman of any sport should be dropped because he plies his trade in another country would be dismissed out of the water. Of course Tai should be chosen, he should be the first name on the list, with Bomber Harris's name not far behind.

To be fair to Big Leigh his home form although not great, was reasonable, it was the away form that was a big let down, add to that the injuries, meant that he never really got going at Sheffield last season. These things happen and sometimes things just don't work out for rider and club and I think this was the case for Leigh, and he is now doing the business for Somerset.

Josh G form at Berwick last season was a bit patchy. Jason did not ride Berwick last season. If we had Steady and Bellego I would have been more confident, but I am going to stick my neck out and say a narrow win for the Tigers.

It is the way he has been all season, just gets better with meeting. For basically a raw novice he is doing amazing well.

Decent looking team, but there is no way would the Promotion or would I be happy letting Arthur Sissis go the guy gets better with every meeting.

And Sedgman has an history of rapid loss of form, he did it at Birmingham and he did at Redcar, be interesting to see if it happens again and how the Monarchs Promotion deal with it if he does.

Going to be interesting to see if Edinburgh are going to see the other side of Justin Sedgman He is okay when the team is going well, but in the past his head drops as does his form. And that could be disaster for the Monarch as they will be relying heavily on the top 4 performing with three youngsters in the side.

Nothing like the banter from good old Scottish Speedway derby.

Like I say I was following both Tigerite and Shadders updates and you could tell that it was potentially very serious from his update on the race, and you kind of know then that you have something to worry about. You also have to feel for David Bellego, he was not only hurt but the fact that there ws no way out from hitting his own team mate must have been very painful and upsetting for the lad.

I following your updates and also those from Shadders, as soon as I saw Shadders updates for heat 15, my heart just sunk because you could tell from the tone of the update that it was serious.

Schlien is about as good as it gets. Is Watt not injured.
