Don't see it as the visa being the problem the way i see it is that the Border Agency have looked at Non EU riders coming over and have increased there average as a deterrent to clubs to look firstly at young brits and then young EU riders and so on. My club have been guilty several times on bringing young Aussies over that have just not been good enough for every Nick or Josh there has been an O Malley or Penfold or Davey the new assessed 7 average will mean that clubs will think twice on introducing a young Aussie unless they are sure that they can meet there assessed average and that will mean they will be more careful on there due diligence process.

Probably to big a gamble on a 7 thing is this is a UKBA directive that the BSPA are aware off and all promotions were instructed at the conference so the way i see it is unless young Allen has european roots then he will be assessed 7 as will Holder at Somerset. At least Berwick have the luxury off restructuring there team if this is the case Somerset on the other hand have made a right royal off it by naming there full team outwith the permitted 42.5 for the second year running . I am sure Nick is relieved he has come home.

Really can you let us all know then how much our wage bill is as it appears you know , So many people in the know on here i must be out the loop with my contact's.

No intention to offend my comment was based around the fact that the Fans were pi**sed off with his performances not with your statement.

Yes part off the problem was the club in not getting shot probably a month into the season but his level off performance as a professional sportsman was frankly abysmal.

Well if you had explained it like this i would not have made the patronising comment if you read your original post and the way it has been posted and think about the way you have said it and you can honestly tell me that it doesn't sound patronising then i stand by the comment as it does sound very patronising. As for Spin King's comment he has read it the same way i did in your first post and came to the same conclusion he has reflected on it and has been big enough to apologise I on the other hand did and still do think that your original post was very patronising against Glasgow.

Couldn't believe what i was reading initially then it sunk in but we have them all in our midst we are only 20 odd mile from smugville so we should be used to it.

Very impressed the way Bewick's promotion go about there business congrat's to them on a very good start to there team building Barker is a real coup .

No sh*t sherlock.

What a patronising post this is just because Sheffield want him then why go to Glasgow is that seriously what you mean, If so that is even more smug than some off the post's from the Monarchs fans difference there though they could be smug as there team were winning everything can't see why you are though.

Be good to see Rusty getting the final place now that we know he won't be back with us better the devil you know rather than second guessing on what Howarth turns up for you the EL Version or the PL Version.

It is looking likely he will be based with the other Tigers across the border from what we hear.

Im over the moon now that excuse for a speedway rider will never don a tigers race jacket again i get what MD is saying but even with his low average i would not let him anywhere near Glasgow Speedway ever again bottom line he was an absolute disgrace last year and how he lasted the full season is even more baffling I would have sacked this clown Mid-April even if we couldn't have got a replacement right away.

No real surprise there then with Wolbert going back east after what can only be described as cheating the Glasgow fans dropping over two points on a rolling average is no mean feat that is an indication on how s**te Wolbert actually was for us Edinburgh would have been foolish not to use him on his reduced average due to his lack off point scoring for us you can bet your bottom dollar that his performances will make a miraculous recovery riding for the Monarchs that i have no doubt which will be another smack in the teeth for all concerned at Ashfield. One thing though if and it is a big if Wolbert rides for Edinburgh the way he rode with us then he will be jettisoned in double quick time by Edinburgh that is the difference we stuck by him and Edinburgh have benefitted So well done Edinburgh on a shrewd signing but as far as i am concerned it is good riddance to a charlatan who didn't have any pride in his own performances and i would hope that we never see this rider in a Tigers bib again.

He was in general gating 4th but winning heat 2 90% off the time scoring well in other heats also never seen him in his first season at Rye but as Shads has said hopefully he has matured in his decision making with his season with us I certainly bar the odd once or twice never saw anything rash hard but never rash. His gating will improve maybe never be a Tai from the gate but should improve.

Probably right but his point scoring wasn't to shabby even with the inability to gate.

Don't know if you would want to it was much more enjoyable watching him reel people in and weave his way through.

Track was pretty good last season best it has been for a few season's.

If you go to the final issue his final average is 5.68 can only imagine that there was still some meeting's to add after issue 30.

Anders final average before being released was 5.68 as i say on good machinery would easily add to that very good young rider but wether he would be willing to come back over who knows he was losing money over here apparently.

Anders forgot all about him if he is on it someone could do a lot worse than Anders on his average very good rider if his bikes are right.

Was thinking the same myself reported him/her for what may i ask if what i think it is for you get called worse than that in a school playground FFS petty very petty.

Pot & Kettle springs to mind with that post after reading some off your replies to other poster's.

At last someone from the East with a very unbiased view off thing's i also thought the reply to baba's post was very dis-missive on his opinion that Craig Cook would be welcome at our club if Edinburgh don't re-sign him which i am sure they will it is getting to the stage that regardless what your thoughts are on Cook some posters are only to willing to have a pop even when it is relevant to the discussion. It is nearly getting as bad as the Smugness nearly but not quite. Poor wee soul how dare they .

Now now baba you will end up being banned from the shatzone at this rate come to think off it do we really care you may continue .
