  1. Who do you mean by they? Most comments and criticism about the lack of passing came from non Glasgow fans. Why would 'they' criticise or comment on a meeting where there was passing? Incidentally by posting twice you have used unnecessary bandwidth.
  2. Seriously, so that suggests there are two of you quite a large percentage of the Monarchs support I'm sure you would agree that it was a great performance by the Tigers and great entertainment all round. On any other night, the result would have been brilliant, but in the end one bike failure cost us the aggregate win.
  3. That's one way of responding to Blobby. Perhaps he could also be given the 'black spot'.
  4. Was lucky enough to be at a recording of the new Mastermind series. Clive Myrie ( question master): What can't speedway riders do at Poole Speedway? Contestant: Pass. Clive Myrie: correct.
  5. The only other track I've heard Glasgow fans moan about is Armadale and they've been moaning about it for years win, lose or draw. To be fair many still go to support the team even though they know its not proper speedway
  6. Just a reminder for those with short memories and /or little knowledge of Glasgow speedway 2025. Glasgow went for 7 UK born/based riders to minimise disruption to their team and fixtures. Sadly the signing of Ashton did not work out and they had to look for another 5.0 rider. The only option was to go abroad and we signed Villads. We knew that his Danish/Polish meetings would take priority but in theory that only meant probably missing an away fixture at Poole, Oxford and possibly Workington. In the end he missed 6 away meetings 3 of which were also missed by Dan. You can't legislate for riders being called up for FIM/European meetings, or Polish meetings being rained offf and being re-arranged, and/or being injured. He is an entertaining, popular young rider as is Dan and I'm sure all Glasgow fans hope they stay with the club and continue to provide entertaining racing both home and away.
  7. Just popped on to see what my fellow Glasgow fans are saying about last night. Apart from numerous posts from one person there seems to few posts from other tigers fans. Lots of comments from other fans from other clubs. Can only assume BSN did really well from last night's stream. My thoughts, the Tigers riders tried their best, they haven't gated well all season, apart from Dan, so unlikely things would change last night. Can they win on Friday, yes. Can they win on aggregate, unlikely, but I'll be there to watch good racing in a good stadium with friendly, passionate fans. Also good to see the ref making the right call to exclude Tobias.
  8. Do you really think this is an appropriate comment after what happened this evening?
  9. Dan Thompson was the joint second highest points scorer on the night.
  10. Just been catching up on some of the comments particularly by non Glasgow fans, good to know you were concerned about the Tigers. Thought I'd just say well done to young Max Perry.
  11. He was riding injured despite the cynics out there. Limping before the start, crashed in his first race, engine failure in his 3rd when bravely giving it a go.
  12. Thank you for explaining it so succintly. I was going to say the same thing but it would have been a lot longer.
  13. Not to mention that the 'premier' league couldn't operate without championship riders.
  14. Can I ask who prepared the track for the 3 home meetings prior to Redcar where Glasgow won and the racing was terrific?
  15. Davie is well-known to real Tigers fans, hence we generally ignore his posts. On the other hand Bomber is absolutely loved.
  16. Have we moved it to Oxford so more Poole fans can attend or watch the stream?
