  1. Well that didn't last long! what happened to your self-imposed exile from the forum or was that just the Somerset thread
  2. Sadly we have no chance and it doesn't help when people post stuff like this - its not funny Out of interest how long has Zach been out injured? surely there was someone else out there who would have scored as many as Zach had been scoring and that way you wouldn't have got the sly comments about using guests on a horses for courses/who's the cheapest policy.
  3. From some of the posts on here can see why the rebels are sponsored by 'cases'.
  4. Couldn't agree more. Nobody likes to see a rider get injured and everyone wants to win with there own riders rather than getting in guests. Bradleys replacements in the 2 meetings at Glasgow have been poor. Mason campton only got paid 11 and bates fared a bit better with paid 16. If only Bradley had been riding goodness knows what the score would have been
  5. The difference is young master bates won't be there to win you the match. So you could be there for the taking.
  6. Can you post a link to photographs that show that Garcia 'ended Bradley's season'. It appears he came off 3 times in the running of the heat; did he not learn anything?! However, there is video footage of Tom Bacon lifting and taking out 2 Glasgow riders at Somerset. There are photo sequences of Rohan Tungate taking out Richie Worral and of Paul Starke wiping out Danny Ayres and Rene Bach in the Glasgow KO cup match and then Master Bates getting off his bike and assaulting Rene Bach in the LC final. So yes you have left Glasgow riders battered and bruised
  7. We've had good entertainment most of the year; close racing, overtakes, riders in control or apparently so, crowd getting involved, people cheering and enjoying themselves! Sadly the tracks preparation for all 3 Somerset matches, including the one we won didn't serve up any entertainment
  8. Like a lot of posters I can't work out why we seemed to prepare the track to put of the rebels riders. Aaron has been ill for a while with flu/virus, so presumably a bit weaker than normal; Nike was coming back from hand injuries; Rene, Danny and Fernando in particular have all been in the wars and not 100% yet we prepare a track that is deep, wet and not easy to ride. Sure it put off Tungate but it also put off most of the tigers. The last 2 home meetings were against the rebels and neither of them could be classed as being entertaining. we've persuaded new fans to attend and old ones to return and they wonder what all the fuss is about and yet a few weeks ago the whole team were racing and I mean racing and everyone was going home with a smile on there face and looking forward to the next sunday. Quite frankly if the wife asks me to cut the grass next sunday I might just do it and watch paulcos updates!
  9. Half a rider would be missing - you've really lost it 👤
  10. Decent reaction from a speedway fan that just happens to be a monarch. Aaron spoke over the tannoy at the end of last weeks meeting and I thought somethings gone wrong with the Pa as it didn't sound like him - a bit deep and hoarse, now we know why. On the other hand Dr Blobby has spoken. I assume you'll understand that thanks to your PR skills your likelihood of a decent attendance on Friday has just plummetted.
  11. It's meaningless. Surprised Rene and Coty are riding thought they'd be wrapped in cotton wool. Really need them fully fit for Sunday and Saturday for that matter, we shouldn't take anything for granted. At least the weather forecast looks ok for all 3 days. Hope the fish has a safe meeting and all fans applaud him at the end.
  12. That was a 'hard' meeting with tigers riders taking the brunt, some brilliant action photos on official facebook page and fans discussion facebook page. Hope Rene,coty and Danny are ok not to mention there bikes. Richie seems to be ok but his bike was a bit bent. We need them all for next weekend so rest up lads
  13. Well said 'idea' and thanks to Blobby i'll keep my money for more important away matches. who else isn't going through to the dump
  14. Good to hear that you will be back next year. With all the rain you've had it must have been difficult financially. It wouldn't be the same without 2 Scottish teams.
  15. Sadly I think monarchs will do it 😞 it's rained all year at Armadale and the moanarchs are used to there heavy trick track. Only king will score well as the other witches struggle with the track 😢 hope I m wrong and witches sweep the floor with them
  16. Sorry thought this was a Glasgow V Somerset thread. Anyway thankfully we've been able to get a new date sorted and we now stage the 2nd leg on Sunday 2 October at 3pm. Expecting a Young Scotsman or two from the east, just hoping the forecast is correct and we don't get a Cyclone
  17. Absolute classic. When Glasgow fans make a logical comment you think they are whinging but its ok for rebels to point out they were unlucky? So lets be fair you got beat so stop whingeing. And I'll tell you now James will score more than Bradley, get well soon, so don't for a second suggest you are weakened for Sunday. We're without Nike, who has been brilliant recently and Rene and Coty plus there bikes are battered and bruised. So will be close but we do have a 4 point advantage so here's hoping for an aggregate win
  18. I'm not the best with grammar so don't worry when people get things wrong BUT since your being pedantic you should always start a sentence with a capital and end sentences with a full stop! You really don't get it - he scored 13 points, 11 more than when he rode for his own team and 13 more that Zach would have scored; so you got the roll of the dice. Yes you should be proud of your top 4 and yes hope all riders don't miss any or too many meetings.
  19. Not good to see any rider injured. Bit surprised Somerset didn't name a no 8. Ok it might not have helped that much but at least he could take advantage of an ef or fall. Sure Glasgow will name someone for Sunday. Anyway a win is a win so we still have a chance to reach the 🏆 final. Don't forget the rebels will have there top 5 available on Sunday plus a guest for Bradley who was poor in the league match. So its not over yet.
  20. Somerset won at Glasgow because they had Dan bewley in there team, that is a fact. We're not talking about other matches or what will happen on Sunday but what happened that day. Bewley was simply unbelievable.
  21. Good to see panthers fans sticking by there team. I'm sure they won't let you down no matter who is riding 😉
