Dig mole - see what you did there. but you still didn't answer manses question and we all know you must know the answer. Come on you know you want to

taken from Chris Harris web site: Chris has landed a great sponsor in ALLIED VEHICLES who are providing the Coventry Captain and GP rider with a brand new VW van for the 2016 season. ALLIED VEHICLES are run and owned by the Faccena family …who are the owners and promoters at Glasgow , who have done such a magnificent job of upgrading the stadium there and producing a top side who were just pipped to the Premier League title in 2015. The sponsorship will run through one of their companies CAB DIRECT whose logo will be used.

Some good articles from a tigers point of view in the Star the last few weeks - 2 pages on Richie worrall and 3 pages on ben Barker. Be good to see and hear Ben at the Nige and kelvin Roadshow in Glasgow on 4 March

What about Steve?

The one thing I don't get is that the only NL riders willing to ride for Edinburgh are aparently asking for silly money. Surely Mitchell who ahs been around, knows the going rate for riders etc etc won't be riding for buttons. After all he also now has a wife to support! is it a case of if we are having to pay silly money lets use Mitchell as he'll score more than those still left

As other people have said this issue is about the rules. But one thing I can assure you Mitchell is not 'crap'. he's been unlucky with injuries and if he gets some confidence he will do ok at Armadale. so if Edinburgh get him they'll have 2 good reserves whilst many team will only have one.

Agree that we shouldn't open with Edinburgh, a case of familiarity breeds contempt. These matches should be built up and get fans from all sides even newtrals wanting to come along. Don't see point of Elite league team. don't think we would attract anymore fans or potential fans just cos its a elite team. all tigers fans will want to see the new team so we should start with a reasonable crowd anyway - also don't want to lose opening match!. an elite team won't come cheap and have 2-4 premier riders riding for them anyway. if we can't afford there no.1 say Holder or zagar they will then need a guest. A polish team could be good provided they were cheap might be able to market to local polish community - but still risk losing!

Funny how some Glasgow fans thought fisher was going to the tigers and some monarchs were naming Ritchie worral for there team 😏

Is mrs fish back as well. If yes he'll put points on his average.

I'd guess at Nick Morris

Just wonder whether the issue is with 'averages' and how they are calculated. As I've said elsewhere someone can have a green sheet average of say 6.00 but be scoring paid 9 from 4 rides in every match. Under previouis ways of calculating an average he would be a 9!!! yet under the previous criteria he would be chucked out as per Ty proctor last yeari is it fair to penalise a rider who team rides? so assume the 5.00 has perhaps been set to acknowledge this?

Surely it was a puerile attempt?

C'mon the Rockets!

The irony

Where's the punch line? Oh that's right you don't do jokes

A good attempt at humour from someone from the east. but as many comedians have said there needs to be an element of truth in a story to make it funny and well you've failed miserably - 12 trophies during our spell at ashfield and the facenna boys can easily make room for more - we own our stadium don't you know and can extend or modify it as required.

They also put in a tarmac path behind the red and white fence to give safe buggy access from the entrance area to the back straight although I've rarely ever seen anyone use it apart from myself - think they could publicise it more as most people walk in on the same route as the riders cars/vans. Other improvement that were missed above - a fleet of new vehicles - water tanker, rescue/parade truck and tractor not to mention the best mascot in the league!

I am always intrigued by people's obsession with averages - what do they mean green sheet (which doesn't include bonus points and is based on last 20matches) or speedway star which uses the traditional method, etc. Richard could score a paid max in every meeting - 8 plus 4 from 4 yet his greensheet average will go down to 8. is that a disaster? if danny ayres gets three third places beating the opposition in every ride that to me is better than him getting 4 third places beating his team mate yet in case one he has a 3point average and in case two a 4 point average. So averages are important but not the be all and end all.

Happy with the team but a lot will depend on the fixtures with doubling up perhaps resulting intired riders and equipment as well as RW missing some as belle view have priority

Almost scared to comment but I honestly have not heard of any of my friends having problems - they all park in the streets around the track - apart from a good few years ago in the street behind the 3rd/4th bend. but since the housing was built no probs. I use the train now theres a sunday service so doesn't affect me but not conscious of seeing any broken windows/glass etc on my way to the station. Obviously sorry that its happened to you and to others

Thanks for giving us the facts, appreciated.

I suppose you are trying to be funny but generally even sarcasm relies on an element of truth in order to be funny. I believe Alan Dick doesn't own a car ...................

Last year imagine most people happy to pay £15 entry, 2.50 proggy,£4 food/drink, £3 raffle etc. So around £25. This year could still spend c£25 but cut back on the extras.

I agree with Manse re-last season. don't see how the £1 for the stand will work. will they give you a wrist band or ticket to get back to your seat so you can go for a pint? what happens when you get back and find someone is sitting in it after all its not as if they are bucket seats basically just a wooden bench. if people boycott it where will these people c400 stand?

That's a pity we were sure that the Fisher stories were true but I'm sure you no best. Agree that signing mark would be a bit of a rissk
