  1. And you would be happy if two teams full of guests plus r/r plus juniors raced against each other. Throw in the dodgy weather and that would really draw in the crowds. Do you really want scunthorpe to join the ranks of former speedway tracks.
  2. Meanwhile back at Glasgow 2019 glad we've sorted dates for the KO Cup with Redcar. 2nd July at Redcar and Friday 5th July at Glasgow. Should be 2 cracking matches. have to say I'm glad that Ben B has moved on he could have done some damage at Glasgow.
  3. Yeah the irony is that when promoters cheated, riders took bribes and illegally used nitro we had big crowds. Can't help wondering how things would have panned out if we had had social media in those days. Throw in the fact that narrow tracks produced poor racing and then we wonder where it all went wrong.
  4. Following on from the success of the GP qualifier its just a pity we don't have a home team match this weekend. Hope the kids get a good turn out. Who is the next kyle Bickley or Tom brennan or Leon flint all of whom appeared in similar matches in recent years.
  5. Glad you enjoyed it and can't disagree with anything you said other than to add that young Bickley didn't look out of place.
  6. Even more so since he wasn't riding but well done to Pontus Aspgren, fast tidy style and not intimidated by Lambert when he tried forceful overtakes. Holder was ok but seemed down on power unlike Cookie who was fast controlled and totally committed. Well done to everyone at Glasgow for putting on the show and isn’t it great to see loads of kids at the speedway
  7. Practice has taken place and they had to water the track.
  8. The last thing you want is to use the BBC forecast. Try met office weather forecast for possilpark which tends to be not bad. Also the track was fine when the covers were put down and it drains well so can't see lite rain this afternoon being a problem.
  9. According to the Tigers marketing manager from the Tigers Fans Discussion page covers are going down today. To be fair the last 2 days have been dry despite some of the forecasts saying we were due showers. Heres' hoping everything will go ok, really looking forward to it.
  10. Sorry but in this case your opinion is irrelevant. Show me the rule that says practice is compulsory.
  11. Weather forecasts keep changing. Sunday now is meant to be dry and Saturday is showery with what the Met office describes as up to 50% chance of precipitation.
  12. It doesn't help when ta tum and pears on make up there own rules on the starts and, there favourite, first bend bunching and people assume they must be right cos they are getting paid to offer a professional commentary
  13. Wtf are you on about? Dan is and always has been an aces rider. He never agreed to ride for you or any other CL team in 2019.
  14. Presumably she has acted maturely and dealt with the matter privately.
  15. Echo MD's comments. Really entertaining night and slickly run. Managed track grading and watering plus kids race and other giveaways and interviews in around 95 minutes. Young Connor Bailey was there and got a great reception from the crowd. Just wish we had another home match this weekend.
  16. Thanks for the last few posts it's good to know that there are still lots of decent speedway fans on this forum. If your wondering what I mean just take a look at some of the nonsense on the premier league pages.
  17. I posted before asking how Taylor was being bullied and looked up the amow reference as you suggested. I didn't get anywhere other than finding tweets by 2 photographers but no mention of Taylor. Having read more posts is the problem that a group of photographers are making it clear that all there photos are all my own work whilst suggesting that Phil lanning is responsible for some of Taylors. If this is true how is that bullying. And how can people including me say they love Taylors work when it might be Phil that took the photo. Have to agree this could have been dealt with better and also feel that Ian Adams posts have helped me understand what is going on
  18. The guest is for Luke, as you well know. Being in the know can you tell me how the stadium works are doing at Workington hope they don't interfere with the comets plans to return next year. The sport can't afford to lose fans like you
  19. After 2 superb away performances at the tricky technical tracks the boys should be glad to get back to Ashfield. Rasmus did no bad riding at Swindon last night and he and Claus have both qualified for the Danish final. Any sort of win for us will see us into the next round. As paulco says Sheffield have guys that go well around our track so let's pray we get the result we want and that all riders stay safe. Hopefully a good crowd will turn up for what should be a cracking match.
  20. Well done to all the Tigers riders including Connor Coles. For two away meetings running the tracks have been described as either tricky or grippy. Have teams been trying to psych us out. If so its not worked. Looking forward to Ashfield tomorrow and a fast fair track.
  21. Best wishes to josh pickering, a proper entertainer. Surprised no one has started a post for this crucial match with the Tigers needing a draw or win to qualify for the semis of the championship shield . And just wondering when will mr blobby post that the monarchs are understrenghth and have no chance.
  22. Yes totally played into Glasgow's hands. After all the Glasgow riders only had to travel to Glasgow with their private jets, ride on Friday night and then be chauffeur driven down to Eastbourne, have nap and massage before having to ride on Saturday evening whilst watching the grand prix on their mobile devices as there mechanics sorted the bikes.
  23. If the sudden availability of Bickley was the issue surely they would have simply got rid of luke chessel who had been out for over a year with a shocking serious injury and kept lawlor who had scored reasonably well in 2018. It wasn't just vaping it was his subsequent reaction, the disturbance to hotel guests and the implications for the Tigers owners with the hotel, sponsors that resulted in his dismissal
