  1. The point being that i would be telling them something they already know as probably half the stadium knows this goes on LOL the only thing that is missing is the black face paint and the camouflaged gear .
  2. First time i have really brought it up MD but i am not the only one that has noticed this it may not add too much on one particular meeting but over a season it would be pretty substantial think most off the Directors know this is happening it probably boils down too who is gaining free gratis and whether the cheek is turned or not . Bottom line is you cannot have one rule for one and different rules for others stick to one rule and keep to it everyone pay's then there can be no MIS-INTERPRETATION it is not contentment i was looking for just set rules for everyone.
  3. Don't think any off us really know what cost clubs pick up probably varies from club to club but that is a few riders in the last few seasons walked away because they are losing money Mickey Dyer & Lee Complin spring to mind .
  4. Your not biased to one particular side by any chance are you You should change your user name from Fred to MYSTIC MEG though .
  5. Nobody knows really what the stadium rent is then you have utility cost's . Rate's , Wages . Water . Stock and that's even before you get to net income to pay all these costs one thing though and i have alway's wondered this but if everyone that attends on a Sunday were to pay to get in and i mean by that everyone then i think we would be in a much healthier position and by that i mean the freeloader's that knows the young brother off the sister off the 4th bend raker but hasn't seen him for 5 years if you know what i mean. Basically there are an awful lot off people not paying to get in that really should be paying and deep down it is money the club can iil afford to lose.
  6. What makes you think that but seriously there will soon be more Director's than fan's at this rate .
  7. Nothing new there then as it was my post you refer too then no need to be confused as it has been stated that break even is 700 through the gates and they are getting circa 500 then that is why i refer to i think most know the answer too that in that Glasgow are and will continue to lose money on those figures. And taking this into consideration if they are operating on a budget and they cannot field a team that is challenging for honours them I am sorry but what is exactly the point in entering the competition in the first place if you are only there to make up the number's. It is our club but it is also a business and if that business is losing money and continues to lose money then it is no longer viable this is the same in all walks off business it is not down to the Fan's to decide though that decision will come from the people who have invested there money and rightly so, if one or more decide that it is not viable then it is them that make that desicion And finally i hadn't noticed that you have been absent this year you must have a lot on .
  8. Not just the weather being the reason that crowd levels are down racing has been better yes but the atmosphere around the place is poor the whole race day experience is poor to be honest i never went today for the first time in a couple off seasons and i actually feel better tonight than what i usually do and there a good few faces that you don't see around the place anymore.
  9. But hardly surprising George there is a total lack off any spirit or atmosphere around the place at the moment and it all stems from a losing team plain and simple the negativity then spreads like a cancer. Someone should have had the ball's months ago to replace Wolbert that is where the sh*t began and it manifested itself from there.
  10. Part of the reason i am pretty dis-gruntled with what is happening if it is indeed true about his blown engines he can hardly lay the blame at Glasgow's door as he took the guest booking for Berwick last night then plead's poverty but i am not entirely sure that this is the only issue that he has left and he may not be the last one to walk. Thing's are just going from bad to worse at Ashfield at the moment and i am afraid to say the blame lies solely at the Promotion's door they have had opportunity after opportunity to strengthen this team and have continually went with either the wrong option or the cheap option both off which are wrong. If the begging bowl comments resurface i am sorry to say they have too look at it from a business perspective and seriously number crunch and ask the question is Speedway viable in Glasgow i think we all know the answer to that being honest, bottom line if they can't give the supporters a half decent team to support i really don't see the point in continuing with giving the support the poor teams that they have given us it will only lead to fewer & fewer fan's taking the lead off others and staying away.
  11. You lot really are worse than the Granny convention at the 9 o clock tittle tattle school playground convention the anti Glasgow feeling with the majority from the east is getting pretty tiresome 2 & 2 makes 5 Right said For the first time in a very long time i have no appetite left for Speedway i will not pay to watch half a team with Theo away Dimitri injured again Anders throwing the rattle out the pram and Blob Man sensationalising it to say he is chucking it Wolbert being in general guff before his return to the dark side and a 3 point reserve riding at No 1. I therefore admit defeat and have found something else to do today the promotion's signing policy along with all the above has finally taken it's toll will i make a return this season it is very doubtful.
  12. The Invincibile's have now become the Invisible's they have all went missing notice the smugness has been replaced with excuses now there's a surprise not.
  13. What you own about in-fact why feel the need to comment at all just stay off the thread and problem solved for you , and then we don't need to put up with you moaning about us moaning simple solution.
  14. Maybe George but it was a No 1 we were signing oh hold on we still haven't signed one thought we had there for a minute well in that case he would have been a good shout as he seems keen on riding for us.
  15. You could probably find another few threads to post this incase we don't read it enough in the other threads you have posted.
  16. My enthusiasm has long gone with nobody having the balls to tell Wolbert to do one 2 months ago then sign a rider who would struggle at reserve never mind as a No 1 i really sometimes wonder if they are intentionally trying to p"ss us off or they actually don't have a clue on building a team and then to big the Lad up makes it even worse we stood a slight chance before this poor signing but now we have no chance.
  17. We are since the Promotion decided to weaken us even further with there strange signing policy.
  18. Some good racing tonight especially Rusty and Theo , Rusty's outside pass on Klindt was just sublime in the way he stalked him for a couple of laps then the outside swoop on the 4th bend Young Dimitri stuggled somewhat but was unlucky with his EF whilst chasing Howe. The new boy looked better in Ht 13 but is clearly no where near the standard required of a No 1 which is not the lad's fault as stated it is down to the inadequate point scoring of the rider that should have been No 1 and was signed for that purpose but even he looked good tonight but the promotion should be able to see as we do that with him at No 1 it will cost us against better team's Signing him might work out in the long run but it really required a proven point scorer at this level to improve the team and that is what is required for the now not next season as we have three in Anders,Kasper & Dimitri. Really disappointed in Scunthorpe tonight i expected better and two heat wins the first in Ht 13 tell's it's own story they are a much better team than what we saw tonight but you can only beat what is in front of you and we easily done that tonight , Pass marks to Howe and to a lesser extent Douglas & Jorgensen very poor from the rest,
  19. I don't think he will prove you me or anyone else who thinks this is A. A panic and hurried signing & B. the wrong signing for the wrong rider , I just read Colin Hamilton's comments & i quote (It is perhaps not ideal that Victor has to debut as our No 1 ) Well no Sh*t Sherlock why sign him as a No 1 then Why not sign a No1 as a No 1 it is not rocket science or perhaps for our promotion it is.
  20. I haven't seen him ride so i cannot comment on Saturday i will see him tonight though but the thing here is regardless off wether we have seen him ride or not 90% of us hadn't even heard off him and therein lies the problem if he is as good as our promotion would have you believe then why wasn't he snapped up before now and the plain and simple answer to that is that he isn't as good as they would have you believe. Whilst it is commendable in building up our asset base this is not the signing at this stage off the season we needed R/R for Christian and replace the waste of space that is Wolbert is the route i would have went down this now weakens an already weak team and the young lad's like Dimitri . Anders & Kasper must be getting sick off carrying this lot, Alas no lessons have been learned on the Team building front i have repeatedly mentioned that they need look no further than 30mls along the M8 to see how it should be done as much as i would like this current signing to work i just can't see it happening. I couldn't agree more our promotion have spouted about his scoring potential should add to the team they are having a laugh surely and don't treat the fan's as mugs either in no way is this lad a No1 any more than Wolbert is and the pressure that has now been put on the lads shoulders is unfair on him and unfair on us the paying public. If someone on the promotion had a set Wolbert would have been sacked in May yet here we are in August and he is still there total and utter mis-management on there part in allowing him to continue as a Tiger then sign an untried Swede and herald him as the next big thing when clearly he will struggle to attain a 4 point average how much longer will we be subjected to the team building antics we have had the last couple off years.
  21. We could do with some good new's it,s been another hard season for us.
  22. With Christian now being out for 28 day's getting a short term replacement in for that period to cover would make sense we have been using R/R for a while it has been working fine at home but away with this team it is to much off a handicap. Going by the new GSA we would have up to 8.92 available if it was Christian we bring someone in for Hopefully the Promotion can pull something out the bag.
