C'mon George, don't be cruel. we Al know that this is the 'year of the cat'

I was just wondering is it ok to mention the Glasgow v Newcastle fixture on this thread. Glasgow deserved to win the meeting and in normal circumstances even the highly critical fans would be happy but in a 2 leg affair we sadly missed Vikter and Nemo. With normal temperature resumed the track held up well despite the early start with lots of fast times and a track record. although many fans like the 2 meetings in one day I've never been a fan. to many things can go wrong and also hosting the 1st leg puts more pressure on the riders and referee to get things finished quickly and with using r/r there is not much time to tweak set-ups change gearings etc. Hopefully everyone will be fit for Workington away and Rye House at home.

Having sat back and read various comments, I may be in the minority but still can't believe Glasgow lost. Nick's crash followed by Richard's exclusion were the key moments. On the bright side we are highly unlikely to get another sunny, warm, windy day this year so the dusty/slick track shouldn't be a problem for forthcoming matches. and just to say the track was absolutely soaked prior to racing so don't think they could have put on anymore .

Why has another thread been created theres one already?

Weather forecast looking really good. all you need to know about tomorrow's match can be found here along with some smashing photos https://www.facebook.com/glasgowtigersspeedway

he also helped stopPlymouth from getting an away point -bet Ipswich are happy

So Edinburgh get beat after being unbeatable How long will it be before someone says they did it deliberately to try and stop Glasgow finishing second

Should be a corker of a meeting Shaleshifter with the reserves perhaps being crucial. If Vikter continues his recent ashfield form tigers should win. You'll love the stadium - we can now call it a stadium lets be honest it was a derelict weed strewn dump before! Forecast is getting better light rain shower 10am sunshine at 1pm and cloudy at 4pm but as paulco says it will keep changing up until sunday morning. so since your on a tour anyway get along early and enjoy the food and drink and theres usually a singer or something on before hand.

Would Pontus Aspgren fit back in?

This realy was a thrashing. a puncture for Victor when miles in front in heat 2 otherwise he would have had a well deserved maximum. an Ef for our guest Josh who scored paid 9 from his other 3 rides and Aaron having bike problems in the last heat which also helped block Richard who was lining up to pass the impressive Anderson. so basically we were unlucky on the day sadly Redcar have had no luck recently with all there injuries but you can only beat whats in front of you and it was a big pay day for the home team. seemed to be a good crowd again with 100s of kids enjoying free entry and there race against Roary The riders are playing there part posing for photos and giving autographs and celebrating the win with wheelies and kozza style 'dancing'. only downside to these big crowds is you have to get in about an hour before the start to get a seat in the stand

if the Whiches were to win would Glasgow have to play Ipswich or the select in the final

Back to the Glasgow v Redcar fixture - I can see Kus up for this,Doolan (guesting) always gives 100% and no doubt Berge will get double figures So should be good match although Tigers to win. Hopefully a big crowd with U16s getting in free

Thanks for the explanation. now understand the context of your previous post

I take it everyone else can make sense of this and I'm the won that's thick?

Well done to the Bears fans that turned up tonight considering all your injuries

James S also rides for Glasgow - just to emphasis your point

Spot on Dorothy. Need everyone to turn up on the night and support the team like they did fro the Sheffield matches

Think you stick to song writing Al - loved your 'Year of the Cat'

I've spent nearly 20 mins thinking about this and no I can't think of anyone

That's another reason for not going

Might have gone along to this tomorrow but as the Redcar team seems to be uncertain, based on the above, will just sit and watch updates

Spot on Baba. Where would Blobby be without a rumour and diverting attention away from the monarchs particulalry the Monarch who likes a good swally. But then again who cares

Thanks to the 4s Glasgow try out a Monday night. Hopefully crowd will turn up as they did for the Tuesday night fixtures against Sheffield and also hope weather is kind. Really worried about this one. Kauko hasn't been here since 2013 and changes have since been made to the track and Hynek is coming back from injury. I've no doubt both will settle in eventually but two newcomers plus a guest for Nick could result in problems especially if jack holder takes a liking to the ashfield shale. if Richard and Aaron keep up their recent form and scoring we shpuld be ok but will also need viktor to ride like he did last week when he passed Ulrich O in a stunning ride. can see Plymouth getting a point but tigers to win, just.
