  1. You can never have too much controversy in a Scottish derby , bring it on And I believe Jimmy Culbert might be eligible
  2. First I've heard of that rule , not doubting you , but it's incredible how many wee things like that are in the rule book Oh yes , he might not be the rider he once was , but we love to have a Monarchs bogeyman to boo . Fish is up there with Brett and Deek
  3. Ok explain it to me , why does Max get a reduction ?
  4. Dont see why Rebels fans are a bit wary , by miles they look to have signed the best NL 3 pointer and Wilson Dean looks to have bags of potential . This looks a pretty exciting looking side
  5. He's married to Colin Caffrey's daughter now , so whether that allows him ( having a British wife ) to be the 3 pointer , I don't know . At his best he would have been better than the average 3 pointer , but he had a very bad injury and has been out of the saddle for a while . So who knows
  6. Terry Kelly was one I used to look forward to seeing whenever Workington came to Paisley or Coatbridge in the mid seventies . He was done when he eventually became a Tiger , but when he was at Workington he was a decent rider and was full of fun . And he had a temper too as I witnessed him lose it one night at Paisley . But most of the time his antics were light hearted and added to the enjoyment of the speedway
  7. Despite all the people having a wee dig at our side , I'm perfectly happy with it . We have a nine point man at number one and three supporting heat leaders all capable of improving on their starting average . Aaron was our rider of the season last year and I expect him to carry on where he left off . Ben Barker and Richie Worrall are far better riders than their averages suggest and both ride Ashfield well . As for the three other lads , Garcia and Lunna have only had one season over here , so who knows what kind of improvement might be in them and Danny Ayres seems to be a late starter at speedway , but his job is to beat the opposition number 7 rider , if he can do that on a regular basis , then all well and good .
  8. The point was made earlier in this thread about the admission price at Glasgow being dropped to £15 last season making the increase for 2016 to £17-50 all the more eye watering . But what do we do ? We love our speedway , so there's no alternative but to pay the hike .
  9. Ok , I don't read Faceache , so fair enough , we will know the final three
  10. That's fair comment . But the general consensus from the Speedway attending public , on various threads on the Speedway discussions section , is that speedway is too expensive for the level of entertainment on offer , a £2-50 hike just confirms that view . I paid £17 to get into Kings Lynn last season , is it possible we could be on par or even more expensive than some Elite League venues in 2016 ?
  11. They like to make an announcement at the Winter Stars night , and there's one on Saturday , so maybe then
  12. When they held the Benfund meeting there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now that was what you call cold
  13. If Nick Morris decides to do PL , then i think he'll be back at the Oak Tree
  14. Too many fixture clashes with Coventry
  15. Would be nice if it were possible In our Shawfield days it was the norm
  16. Was Richard's signing only announced today ? I read about it in the Speedway Star this morning !!!!!!!!!!! did the Speedway Star scoop the internet and Mr Blobby ???????????? deary me
  17. That's the cold weather . Anyway not the most surprising signing , most of us expected him back . But I'm delighted nevertheless
  18. Distance wouldn't be an issue as we'd just fly him up and back in the club Lear Jet . Anyway those of us who aren't of the " I know something you don't know " variety of supporter just throw names about on here to keep us amused . It's what gets us through the long , dark speedwayless winter months . And also , in the wake of the sorry Kevin Wolbert saga , from now on any prospective Tiger will have to pass the fit and proper person investigation first . If any said person has watched at least three episodes of Rebus , bought a Proclaimers CD , been tempted to go to a Hearts or Hibs football match , possess a blue and gold t-shirt or jacket , ate shortbread and have a liking for riding on trams , then they are barred from wearing the Stripes .
  19. We only have his side right enough , and yes he has been a far better rider for Edinburgh than I thought he would when he signed
  20. Fair comment , but some sort of contact to explain the position would have been courteous
  21. We don't really know that he hasn't . Some clubs like a big announcement of their 1-7 at the same time , others like to drip feed the signings over a period of time . We seem to be in the latter bracket
