Ace is way way off it tigers are not stronger with him in the team, he's all over the place will be lucky to get a couple of points in both legs v Poole...this final is not about him its about the team trying to win a trophy he's came back too soon the boy should maybe stand down ..if he gets more than a few ill say I got it wrong, lots of ppl noticed him at ashfield he's lacking speed & control of the bike ..he could hurt himself more & endanger other riders ..not a fan of his style on bike he looks like locking up on every bend , no idea if claus is back tbh not heard

No tactical allowed in grand final no...

Meeting on Sunday evening magic hopefully weather is OK, best of luck tigers give it your all that's all we ask, underdogs maybe over 2 legs but you never know we were 10 pts up on them earlier in the season after 4 heats at ashfield & pirates used a tactical straight away bang back in it thrres no tactical allowed now (yes I know none at Poole either) but at home meeting we need to show no respect no bowing to them no fear attack every one of em doesn't matter who it is get tarasenko on it let him know how important this is motivate him as all the other guys know what's at stake, can see tigers winning about 50-40 yes I want more but im realistic.. I know that prob won't be enough but just give it a go anyway ..sadly at Poole we do struggle tom doesn't like track & Lee has 10 rides there this season ten lasts not even a point very worrying indeed & ace has gone he's not on pace at all i know he got 5 there before but hes getting 1 at home & finding it hard to even finish laps so ? Jack smith should be used now its not about ace its about the team & chance of a title no idea about claus if hes not fit then he cant race now isnt the time if he is fit then ok ...Wimborne Rd is our big problem gonna take a super effort from bomber ben & vadim who has no track knowledge whatsoever a big ask , but all we can ask is a barnstorming home effort just to make them think ...and who knows

Deadline is nonsense its just a request are u insisting tigers are lucky about that ? If that happens to any team in gb close the door on speedway it's done its finished .. there is nothing zero zip nout the tigers can do about scottish weather which is notoriously wet behave for god sake .. only thing I will say is there needs to be a push for all teams to run more meetings during summer months yes

Absolutely fantastic stuff from the tigers & congratulations to all commiserations to Oxford I'm giving special praise to Lee complin here who fought for everything I've been critical of our reserves but have acknowledged that Lee has got better as season has went on & kudos to him he is a great character but tonight he was the difference and fair play , the team fought to the end & that's what we asked for & got ...idid say before meeting this isn't for ace at all & sadly I was right he looks really uncomfortable & it's not a good watch I actually think he's a dangerous rider due to lack of control I've heard he had to ride due to meeting in Holland if it wasn't for that it was jack Smith all day long for me & now he's withdrawn if tigers have got Any sense declare the boy unfit & put in jack v Poole it might help the team...what was cami thinking pijper in ht 12 I've no idea the utter stupidity of that decision & serious questions need to be asked of cammi speedway knowledge he falls again & Lee comes in does the biz honestly its nuts ..the man needs to engage the brain or Mr max who should know needs to have a quiet word ...we got away with that one ace isn't up to it a blind man can see it ..I spoke to someone in pits after meeting close to riders & they said quietly yes he's rushed back too quickly they wud be better off with jack in team ...v Poole you won't get away with anything not a thing ...smarten up & wise up ..jack at reserve & no stupid decisions from tm give it your best if claus is still out so be it but don't rush him back either if he's unfit it won't work ..claus is ok at ashfield but v poor at Poole so that might be a leveller tho I noticed Oxford got more at rr tonight for jj than us for cv , if I'm crafty claus in at ashfield & out at Poole rr but that's not easy to do pull off ...anyway congratulations to everyone involved another final give it ur very best & I can only say stop the fear of Poole don't keep bigging them up now as tigers do that all the time forget that let's just put that aside & show no respect just attack them at home from start to finish see what happens & best of luck lads

I'm not sure ace is an upgrade on Jack hmmm ?? ...ace has been out recently lack of racing his arm just out of sling so thats not good ? ..he looked all over the place when he was racing looked like locking up every race a danger to himself & others & low & behold out injured it was coming his style on bike is not great, jack much smoother racer just hasn't got the points he's deserved, was mixing it well recently in the top division for ipswich ...if I had my way jack over ace all day long

That said then ace had his arm in a sling only days ago so how is he fit ...with his lack of speedway & experience then it would have been more wise if glasgow stuck with jack Smith

If u think vissing is tactical you must be on drugs at home he is needed as he's very good at ashfield how on earth is complin & pijper a tactical move 2 of his races cv must be taken by a reserve utter nonsense ...away u might have a point certainly not at home

Indeed sharpenrake ...I'm not sure ace pijper strengthens tigers I hear he is in v Oxford his arm was in a sling only a few days ago & he's not ridden much recently, jack Smith has much more experience & has done ok In recent meetings not scoring much yes but mixing it well ie unlucky ,he looks better on the bike than ace who looks like he's gonna lock up at every turn & its dangerous to himself & others hence he's taken a few tumbles now the boy is always untidy on the bike his style isn't that good if I'm honest very upright close to bike looks uncomfortable compared to young boughen it's night & day the difference , I know ace is a tigers rider but if this is rushed through & he gets next to no points this could be costly as its gonna be very tight v cheetahs I wud have honestly stuck with jack if we could .. just my opinion & nothing personal against ace but this is do or die now its not about ace or any individual ..its about the team

To be honest you've got a point about complin playing to the galleries tbh I've heard he's a great guy & it is good for the crowd when he does it & he's a character very few now in speedway , but yes as you've noticed if we get to the final it will probably be lee who will cost us any chance of the trophy as top 4 are strong enough now, you cant blame jack if hes a guest on a 2pt average or ace a wee boy learning tho ace is way off it ..I hope to god I'm wrong as I would gladly eat humble pie if at reserve one or both prove me wrong ..but I just don't rate lee on a 4 average hes very bulky and one paced getting a rr ride won't work v Poole we would need all our top 4 battering it on two nights home & away & I doubt that as tom struggles at Poole...that said this was a good win at bears & well done to all the team give it everything v Oxford reserves prove me wrong I hope you do as I would be delighted its not personal at all... also feel for bears as they've had no luck whatsoever recently I wish them well a great club & track ...

Against Oxford & if we get to final Poole you just can't get away with that in heat 1 as our reserves in heat 2 are always gonna be up against it so ur right from heat 1 they have to be on it ..

Gonna be tight this will go to the last heat I think hopefully tigers can get over the line might need one of our reserves to score a few points ..its important we stay calm & composed when racing its over 15 races not a few it can be done ..I've got this definitely between 48 to 52 for a glasgow win

Good point about that cancellation.. but that said u can't compare a jumped up made up one off trophy to the bread & butter week in week out league champions trophy I'm sorry but u just can't...

If a team has to forfeit because of the weather we should all just pack up & go home that just can't happen I'm sorry ..the sport will be beyond ridiculous & frankly many fans would not go back & I might be one of them as what's the point in all that money spent hours dedicated to following a team ...no matter what it can't be allowed to happen to any team

Not sure glasgow are stronger with rr especially at home where claus is good round ashfield , ok vt & tb can take a ride but our 2 reserves where we arent strong have to take a ride each so that's debatable wre stronger ..at home no away possibly but with the rr it won't wash beating Poole over 2 legs so it's not making glasgow stronger ..Sheffield is another matter

11 point victory required...its 40-50 ???...

All this time now we get the news vissing is missing must be a big secret that ...still think we will win today sadly there is little chance of a title with rr oh well

Scunny absolutely bottling it at home poor stuff from them looks like this meeting was won at reserve if u look at the scores thought it would be tighter, tho I did think Poole wud do what they do sadly

Not sure if vissing is in this meeting as sheffield have booked a replacement for their meeting on monday ? Not a bit of news from glasgow on this total silence might make a difference for the bonus point tigers to win this tho ...

Goes unbelievable at Poole tbf wouldn't surprise me if they go for douggy even on a high average but I get you

Guess who Poole want for next season ....hmmm

The tie is all set for a great home meeting & hopefully tigers get the bonus point it will go to the last heat is my guess , but we need to take care of redcar as that's a tough meeting too I'm sure bears will get a good replacement for Charles.. tigers need to stay focused it can be done & scunthorpe have a chance of putting Poole out that could be interesting tho never write pirates off

Absolutely spot on sir... we all knew our reserves are not up to the job & even lee on harris bike ,but tom cmon that's really poor stuff ...we can still get bonus but in the end our reserves are killing us if any top guy fails ie brennan here were in trouble ..the situation with claus now is key we can't have 2 reserves covering rr it won't work

And people think glasgow are crafty & Poole for that matter , its simple every team will try everything in the book to get an advantage now ..Oxford are no different that's why when everyone has a go at glasgow & money blah blah its nonsense ...all clubs are crafty when it suits & it's not all about money

I know what u mean but we only have 2 riders capable of scoring at rr vadim & tom so it puts pressure on them to score as lee & Jack will struggle to get points , but I know point ur making as claus last visit obviously got 1 point ..so in theory I do think we can get 4 or 5 from rr ...this is gonna be tight over 2 legs the bonus points will decide in this group ..if tigers had one strong reserve they could win title sadly we don't its our achilles heel , I don't know situation with claus as he's probably needed at home meetings don't know how that's gonna go tbh as rr is risky if a rider gets injured
