  1. https://www.flickr.com/photos/glasgowtigersspeedway/16581690344/ Zoom in and check out the warm hand gestures from the fans beside the red pillar. I think you'll find that we applauded all your other riders, especially Aaron but Nick Morris will never merit applause from us
  2. Fair point, and no complaints with the exclusion, rules are rules..... But, how is he supposed to relay the information to the pits? If he got off the bike and ran up and down the hill in full gear he'd be out of time anyway. For those who haven't sampled the excellent facilities at Ashfield but are old, like me, it is like the old Bradford pits..... Cracking idea but the mechanics have to be fit (and remember to put the fuel cap on). These things happen but "lessons have been learned"
  3. Every rider will try to anticipate the gate, it's their job! Frede Schott used to say, "if you don't break the tapes now and again, you're not trying hard enough"
  4. Gees, you can't half exaggerate!!!! Anyway, congratulations to the 2015 Tiggers on todays well deserved win. Some good racing, especially Aaron's tremendous effort to pass Kevin (shame about his bike) No complaints about the track, the dust or Justin having a rare off-day but get yer start gate fixed...... Now..... One thing I am going to say about Cookie and all the griping he gets on here..... Apart from something I couldn't print for fear of my Ma finding out!!!!!! There isn't one team that wouldn't like to have him ........ If you're honest!!!! BUT ..... Tough because we love him and we're more than happy to keep him
  5. It saddens me to hear Berwick fans complaining like this so early in the season. I love the set up at Berwick where spectators get close to the track but when you get riders well capable of racing and passing yet witness them busting a gut to do anything when they miss the gate, it's painful. I feel for the riders too as it reflects badly on them and does nothing for their confidence. I don't know what the answer is ..... the outside of bend 2 looked pretty ploughed up before start time last night but the inside was rock solid (I didn't look anywhere else). Maybe the riders and track staff need put their heads together? The Anderson's are good people who want Berwick speedway to flourish and I believe your team is competitive. Early injuries are really bad luck. Keep the faith folks and use it or lose it...... Cookie was 1st class and I don't think he was in the mood to let anyone rain on his parade
  6. And Craig scored paid 7 too so on a 6.21 average, he's done his job too
  7. If you read our Chatzone, you will see that most of us so called "smugs" don't like the tac rule either but it is still there to be used and yes, we needed it tonight and thanks to Cookie and Sam who rode well to take maximum advantage. No excuses for tonight..... Somerset beat us fair and square. Roll on tomorrow..... The league is not decided on just 1 (or even 2 or 3) performances. Our results over the season are why we are in the playoff's. Win or lose tomorrow, we will remain very proud of what our team has achieved
  8. Congratulations to Somerset. Interesting for tomorrow, can't wait.......
  9. Well, it had to happen some time but what a journey and a great record ..... Many thanks to our boys for all the excitement. 7 points behind isn't too shabby either but Cookie needed a bit more help ...... Congratulations to Peterborough We'll be back..........
  10. Oh well, looks like a long haul to Somerset for us then when I'd much rather nip down the A1 to Newcastle Get the cider on ice
  11. Too late, I've just given my m8 the rest of the night off ..... on ya go fella
  12. I'll leave you to it, no point in us both posting............
  13. I've got someone txting me but they will be sparce > best I can do........ score now 14 - 10 to S/set
