Spot on. Was going to post something similar but no need you've said it all. One thing I'd add no one takes kermi seriously. He's either Jeremy Corbyn Fan under a different name as has been been suggested by a number of posters or if not the other possibility is the daft laddy that gets stick on Tigers Facebook page

Didn't hear it over the PA but the track staff should have been thanked publicly. The rain beforehand was a killer and it was obvious some riders didn't fancy it but fair dos they gave it a go. Worrals engine failure when on a 5-1 could have been crucial but in the end wasn't. Well done to the 4 regular Panthers riders can see why you won the 4s.

Jack holder was listed until recently as riding for Peterborough but he isn't cos he has taken ill, jet lag? Being an Edinburgh fan you know better than anyone that listing a rider doesn't guarantee their appearance. You will also know that some riders are sensible following a crash and also realise that coming back to early could affect them and there team mates. If he were to ride in the individual and had to pull out he's not put his team in a difficult position. It's called common sense a concept that appears to be in short supply among certain fans

Belle Vue Colts V Mildenhall Ko Cup Sf 20/10/17

Good to hear that they made the wrong decision on a consistent basis. As others said on other threads these decisions were made despite what the rules say in black and white -
Belle Vue Colts V Mildenhall Ko Cup Sf 20/10/17
SharpenRake replied to Aces51's topic in National League Speedway
The problem hasn't been caused by Glasgow, it has been caused by the rules. Glasgow were meant to be racing against Workington tonight and in effect have swapped one meeting for another. Jack Smith is a Glasgow asset so we have actually helped the Colts and aces by loaning him to you thus helping you win trophies. Is it too much to ask that he helps us to try and win one? Finally whether you agree with the rules or not premier and championship matches take priority over NL matches apart from riders championship -
If Peterborough are allowed a guest, and who knows if they are or aren't, can see them going for Chris Harris - he has guested for virtually every other club and is good round Ashfield. Means of course he would get 8 rides, his own and jacks, and if selected to ride in heat 15 his points would count double

No idea. We still have to fit in Workington with Fridays league match being cancelled presumably because they didn't want to hold 2 matches in 2 days. And perhaps they were keeping Friday free in case Thursday was rained off. 🌧️🌨️🌩️ the current forecast looks good for tomorrow but it rained for part of today when it should have been dry so fingers crossed ☀️

The Tigers did well to restrict Panthers to a 10 point lead but the main issue will be th track and weather. The track took a lot of rain prior to Saturday's individual on Saturday and even some rain during the meeting. Today it has been lashing down with rain forecast for tomorrow night. Lets pray the forecast is wrong what with Ipswich wanting to run there leg of the final on Thursday. sadly dont see the Tigers getting through mainly due to Chris Harris, great rider and team man, he clealry really wanted to win the chamionship individual on saturday with some breathtaking fence scraping moves and i can see him going through the card unbeaten although hope i'm wrong.

he probably saw Olivia and has been unable to cope -
Throw in club assets Aaron,Jack and your favourite Richard and we could run 2 teams with the riders you have mentioned

And I'm sure the track will be prepared exactly the same way as for tonight -
Peterborough V Glasgow 15/10/17
SharpenRake replied to Noodles's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Just hope belle vue and wolves don't decide to rerun tonight's rained off match on Sunday otherwise Glasgow will probably be told that Richard lawson will have to ride for Wolverhampton as he was guesting for them tonight 😋 -
What Would You Change In Speedway Next Season?
SharpenRake replied to 4thbender's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Don't think any Glasgow fan wants us to go up but if we do it will be because as you say there might not be many teams left to form a decent championship. Classic case of 'top' division manipulating things for there benefit 😠 -
Can't help thinking this is proof that our promotional team, despite being awfully nice blokes, have no clout where it matters. Looks as if we are also about to get shafted when it comes to next season. Rumours suggest a 12 team Premiership, racing only on Mondays and Thursdays - probably the existing 8 plus winner of promotion play-off which is likely to be Sheffield plus Lakeside (licence on ice). Have also read that based on geography if nothing else, Ipswich and Peterborough are likely to move up. That leaves Glasgow, Edinburgh (rumours of licence going on ice for a year), Berwick, Newcastle (threat of closure in this weeks Star), Redcar, Scunthorpe (well done for keeping on going despite poor crowds), Leicester, Workington (virtually certain to close) as being contenders for the Championship. So only 8 teams with possibly up to 2 closing or moving down to the NL. The only chance of NL teams moving up would be reducing the points limit/standard of racing and I can't see teams like Eastbourne wanting to travel up to Glasgow and Edinburgh. So whatever happens Glasgow and the other Championship teams will be sacrificed to ensure a few 'superstars' can ride in the UK. Can really see the Facennas chucking it and renting the stadium to anyone daft enough to try and run speedway in a professional manner.

Well done just a month to late. We were meant to play the winners of diamonds comets on 6 may. Quite frankly Glasgow should have been given a bye. As it is all the other teams have been kept waiting and we are running key matches in poor weather and when all the kids are back at school total farce
