  1. Think with every team having a few top quality riders hopefully they can give advice to the newer riders and help them throught the season ,and also think the scores in most matches will be a lot closer than last year
  2. Personally Don't think he will get a visa anytime soon
  3. The thing is its a team sport 2/3 riders don't make a whole team looking at teams already all riders could put a few points on their average and a well balanced team throughout could cause a few upsets going to be a good contest and prizes are not given out at the start of the season many things can happen in a season can't wait for it to start
  4. Let's just say think you all will be pretty amazed when the place is finnished
  5. Will the 2 Aussies be granted visa,s to ride that's the million dollar question
  6. Too many knocks I think sold everything,he is too good to give up if you ask me
  7. James mcbain has retired from the sport shame was looking good last year
  8. According to stewart Dickson it's the riders he wanted for his team as he hand picked them himself and said not knowing much about James Sargent apart from what he had seen on sky and thinks ashfield will suit his style of riding I think Sargent will be the one reserve to watch next season along with victor great pairing at reserve for tigers
  9. Pretty sure everything is in hand with that ,secure parking is a must and on the plans and another. Way to make money too and will stop local people moaning they can't get parked when they come home on a Sunday afternoon. I pass it every day going to work and can't believe how quick the work is coming along
  10. Think they own enough land around the area to built a few houses and superstores if they wanted too so won't need to use ashfield also they are one of the biggest company's around the Glasgow area with over 800 employees and have been in springburn for around 35 years as I did work experience for them when they started their first garage/recovery business around 1980 and see the Tigers as another venture and with a good marketing team already in place they will make it work
  11. Tom Perry and Dan Halsey have had experience in pl and elite and done well and looking at most other teams reserve s they would hold their own no problem
  12. Bought the whole place and everything else around it pretty sure scottish speedway and Glasgow Tigers are on the way up
  13. Will Hav to wait and see if all these riders get a visa for riding in the U.K.
  14. Claus vissing 7.09 and Ricky wells 6.49 perfect
  15. So far they have knocked down the pits and cleared it level and also flattened the mount on the first bend down to track level and taken away the old work shops think that might be where the new pits will be and the roof on the main stand is being replaced with stand being refurbed , the Hill where the vans park has just been levelled a bit lower think this will stay as it acts as a sound barrier but let's say it will look amazing when completed think the new owners are in process of purchaseing the complete stadium and rent the park back to Ashfield juniors , if you built it right and put right facilities in and price it right with a good team people will come
  16. Would like to see Matt given another chance have seen Ellis a few times this year i would say he is not ready for pl yet and with Matt not long in. The saddle I a, pretty sure he has learnt a lot this year amd will be worth a shot
  17. With wages riders you have a lot to think about do they get a van a free flat if coming from aus flight to and from this country if they race in Europe free tyre £42 per meeting insurance per race is about a £5 travel money everything is tied into it sum get sponsored these things some have less per point until they hit their average then anything over it ithe points money goes up and so on there is a lot more to it really and every rider is different who would want to be a promotor
  18. Pretty sure victor will be at reserve
  19. 1Fisher7.89 2 theo 7.09 3lawson 8.22 4 Kasper 4.65 5 wells 6.4 6berg 4.9 7perry 3 or Joey Ringwood 42.2
  20. Yes first 6/7 races in nl match were pretty close with a few passes but track just got so blue was very hard to pass wish they would give it a few grades in the nl match help might help the riders out
  21. Yes it Just been postponed nice to see Laura has apologised about it and she hope to sort something out
  22. They got there match finished 6 rides in 21 minutes worky beat northside 21 -14 and Workington will host the NJL riders championship on 6th September with the top 8 riders in it should make great viewing and Glasgow are workys opponents that night hope we can get a bus down for it
  23. Pretty sure it was announced ryan broke track record for junior meetings on Friday his problem is he lives in the wrong end of the country get asked to guest for other nl clubs but just too far to travel durning the week as he has a full time job and only practice he gets he takes even if it's only one race Berwick are very good as you know if meetings Finnish,s at 8.45/9 you get as many rides till curfew at 9.30 on the button and have to book in as there is aways plenty riders wanting out as Gary Flint who runs second half makes sure of it we have had 5 rides there before it's pretty much same at Armadale and worky you will always get 3 outings maybe more if main meeting Finnish early there but at Glasgow you never know from one week to the next we have asked if we pay extra for medics to stay can we get more than one ride I a, pretty sure there would be a que wanting to ride but will not come for just the one was good to see the 125 riders 3 Scottish boys and one from worky and the crowd I think were waiting for them again will see what happens next week
  24. Just think of the poor riders that are getting less than the standard rates !!
