World Championship Pairs
Paulco replied to Mark's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I'm sure it will get better once the big nations clash . Lambert very impressive -
I wasn't there on Friday as i had something else on , Fridays aren't great for me , but is that all we had ? With the time and effort , ok and money , that has been put into promoting the sport in Glasgow , and we get a crowd that small - then the game is up and there's really no hope for the future of team speedway in this country .

What a predicament . We're now in the position of actually wanting Edinburgh to beat Workington for us to progress . No self respecting Tigger ever wants that mob winning ......ever . But here we are in that very position . Our semi final place in the hands of the forces of evil . I suppose there is the possibility of Workington going to the dump on Friday and winning and us both qualifying , but that's too iffy . So through gritted teeth we have to hope Workington's miserable Armadale record continues on Friday .

Very humid , but no rain so far -

Font know who he is , but he was brought in during the winter . Between that and deputy Dawg the assistant team manager , is it any wonder Stewart got pissed off . -

Yeah heavy downpours forecast. Shame if that spoiled an interesting looking meeting . -

No that was 2 or 3 years later when Stancl ended up at the other end of the M8 as punishment . No the 2004 side steamrollered through the Premier Trophy group before underperforming big time during the league campaign despite having Parker , Stancl , Grieves, Bentley, Jones ( his retirement triggered the demise ) and two duff reserves until Carrillo replaced Jones -
Glasgow Vs Edinburgh KO Cup 27/05/2018
Paulco replied to ellioth4's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
The downside of social media , folk quick to point the finger in the aftermath of disappointment . We dont want a Poole thread , so reality check time . Cup shocks happen in every sport , where the wee diddy team gets the big team on a bad day and springs an upset . That's all that happened yesterday , no need to panic just yet . It' how we respond to yesterday that matters , we have a toughie on Friday against Scunthorpe and that will be extremely tricky . AS for the cup ...........c'mon the Bandits -

It's a bit like the 2004 team all over again . -
Glasgow Vs Edinburgh KO Cup 27/05/2018
Paulco replied to ellioth4's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Very very disappointing . To end up out of the cup after being 11 points ahead on the day is shocking . Saying that , Wells and E Riss were outstanding and our big hitters were found wanting when it really mattered . -
That' s an understatement . Coty at the Dale .......... interesting .

Glad James had a decent meeting , hopefully he can kick on from this in both leagues . He's come in for a load of heavy criticism from fans of his own team in the Championship , most of it unjustified , and fans of a certain other team have shown great delight in sticking the knife in . Be nice if he could throw all the criticism back at them .

Neil Vatcher doing a great job.
Paulco replied to Sidney the robin's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Did Woffinden not cut his teeth at that level with Scunthorpe ? Were him and Josh Auty not reserves in the 3rd tier together . Auty might not have reached the same heights as Woffinden , but he's still done ok . As has the retired Bridger , Stevie Worrall and Paul Starke . Add to that an Aussie with a British father who rode in the 3rd tier at Buxton - Nick Morris -
Peterborough vs Newcastle SGBC Sat 19th May @7pm
Paulco replied to StevePark's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
And away from Edinburgh , all you get from Wolbert is a 5 point rider . -
Don't see my club sacking Harris , his problems are mechanical and surely its only a matter of time before they are sorted . You don't sack anyone when there isn't many suitable replacements out there that would improve your team . You seem did-satisfied with Lunna's contribution to the Panther's cause this season . I haven't seen Nike round the EOES this season , but unfortunately the lad's style of racing lends itself to the amount of spells on the sidelines that has hampered his progress . He was more often than not the only source of exciting racing at Glasgow last season and i would have thought Peterborough's wonderful track would have suited him perfectly . I hope the lad gets over this latest injury and has a trouble free run to show you exactly the exciting rider he is to watch .

The return meeting in Glasgow was more of a straightforward home win , with the Bears more or less a one man band . Tigers were solid throughout , with Claus Vissing and young Jack Thomas the home men of the match candidates . Jack's beating of Jonas B Andersen and Theo Pijper was a very impressive and mature ride . As for the one man band , Barker really is box office when he's on it . His never say die attitude on the bike got him in amongst Tiger's heat leaders , and on occasion , Bear's team mates alike . As Matej Kus found out in heat 13 . But on track he's never a dull moment , shame we never got that in his short spell in the stripes .

Hope none of you are planning on going up to ours by train , we're stuck at Darlington with no trains moving as someone has been hit by a train at Northallerton
-
Poland is allowed apparently , you got a facility for Andersen for the same thing when the Monarchs were at Glasgow
-
Sorry I missed you last night , I watched from the balcony at the bar . Stewart looks some prospect , as you say he had a slow start , just our luck to be down when he turns into Ivan Mauger lol . But seriously to be riding the way he did last night after only a month of our speedway , certainly augers well for the future . He was the difference last night .
-
James wasn't off the pace or owt like that , time folk got off his back , slagging him off won't help him
-
If you could just strip away the politics surrounding the sport , the crazy rules that make it look daft , just watch something like that tonight , and speedway isn' so bad
-
Bit harsh on Ben , ok he's not scoring number 1 points , but he was involved in some terrific races tonight
-
Although we lost , that was a cracking meeting . Obviously the difference was at reserve and Jordan Stewart - wow what a prospect. Retire to the bar now , well done Bears
-
Some proper speedway tonight , it's excellent
