Yeah but that's Poole

In the light of this result , the 38 we got last week doesn't look so bad . Dont see anyone getting close to Leicester ar home

Maybe it's been erased

Anyway back to last night's slaughter in the sunshine . It was as impressive performance as I've seen from the Tigers at Armadale , solid from 1 to 7 . The highlight being Danyon's win over Masters . Praise to the track too , it was as good and fair as I've seen it there 51-39 is normally quite a comprehensive away win , and it was , though it does actually flatter the Monarchs as they got the majority of their race wins once the meeting was over as a contest . None more so than Kye Thomsen's heat 14 win . He was well off the pace all night before popping out to win that race easily . Edinburgh's choice of waiting till heat 11 before putting a t/s in against Cook was quite baffling . But all in all it was a brilliant night for us on the third bend

Taking sweeties from a wean tonight

Wee trip east along the M8 tonight , c'mon Tigers let's do this

Maybe so , but the reverse psychology thing is what you do .

Been saying that for the past couple of years , but I hope he's not that entertaining this weekend

Only takes a couple to struggle and you've no chance away from home . But to be honest , three away wins will get you in the play offs ( as long as you win your home matches )., so there will be easier tasks than Leicester

Basso in 11 would make more sense

Stewart Dickson has been studying at the Exeter school of big home wins and severe away pumpings

Speedway is the home of daft rules

Would be bad manners not letting a home supporter start the thread

A very enjoyable evening , 56-34 doesn't reflect on how good a meeting it actually was . I'm getting more and more impressed with Connor Bailey . We knew this was a huge season for him as he has to break out of the reserve position to continue his progress , and he's certainly started off with that aim in mind . He looks much more aggressive in his riding , though its a controlled aggression even if Mr Etheridge disagreed . But as has been said , round Ashfield we don't look to be having a weak link , but the standard of the racing is the most important thing and the track is producing some spectacular stuff. Any race with Harris in it last night was brilliant . Berwick are a decent side and I can certainly see them as play off contenders this season .

Blimey , didn't realise Boris took a break from Partygate and helping out the Ukraine to put the boot into speedway . Those Tories really are the nasty party .

All systems go for tomorrow, we have a fleet of ambulances and the casts of Casualty and Holby City on hand just in case , to make sure we get to heat 15 . But obviously we hope they won't be needed and Tigers riders ,and 30 yards back Berwick riders , arrive in the bar unscathed .

Are Leicester the new Exeter ?

Bit pricey down your end too , hammering two of the Diddy teams

As a warm up towards fulfilling our potential, it served it's purpose

I never touch lager , I get high in the presence of speedway greatness

40 ??????? Seriously ? We cant allow that I'm afraid . We take our foot of the gas and let you get 40 , well it only encourages everyone else to think they have a chance at the Stadium of Speed when we all know that's just wishful thinking . No you might be better than the dodgy Diamonds , but 34 is a more realistic outcome .

Another Friday night to drool over greatness as the Tigers bring total speedway to their adoring fans . This week's support act are Berwick Bandits , who themselves look a decent outfit this year . But how will they cope against the Championship's Galacticos ? Well they have 4 ex Tigers in their ranks . 2011 title winner Theo Pijper , 2007 GP winner Chris Harris , last year's Tiger Ricky Wells and Kyle Bickley . Add to that Jye Etheridge , Leon Flint and Ty Proctor . Can they raise their game a few levels to stem the flow of home 5-1's , that's the task facing the Bandits to try and stay in the meeting as long as they can . So its along to the Stadium of Speed for another couple of hours of pure entertainment on Friday

Rumour has it that Sedgmen is heading back to the UK , so that could still happen

Think we were all a bit numb once the rumours surrounding Nigel Pearson were sadly confirmed last night . A good friend of Glasgow speedway , rest in peace Nigel , the sport will miss you , 52 is really no age .

While mismatches like this do the sport no good , I have a long enough memory to remember being away supporting Glasgow on nights like that . Hopefully Newcastle can win enough of their home meetings to keep supporter interest , but with that team I can see a repeat of Mildenhall around 2008 . As for my lot , can't really judge on last night . Cook will never score an easier 15 point maximum , great debuts for Basso and Hume , solid scoring from Ostergaard , Brennan and Bailey . Broc Nicol was the only one who looked below par , and a drop to reserve beckons and might be the answer . I honestly don't see us losing at home this season , and three or four away wins will be enough to clinch a play off place . Be interesting to see how this team performs on their travels with an away baptism of fire at Leicester next week .
