Just continually trying to improve things , making it in such a way to enable us to enjoy exciting and thrilling speedway . The track was too one line last season , the aim is to have a track that riders of both sides can attack and give the paying public the type of speedway to do justice to it's surroundings . No point having Chris Harris and not giving him the track to entertain us .

Suppose it depends where you are in the country , my missus went into WH Smiths in Paisley this morning and they had 5 copies on the shelf , well 4 after she left .

So much for the " we have to have doubling up as there's not enough riders " argument . 5.2 seems fair for an untried newcomer . If he flops then you move for someone else and if he's a bargain on that average then the club , whomever that is , deserves credit for doing their homework on him .

Glad to see Rene back in British speedway , a class act

Haha , this is a traditional BSF Christmas thread

Been offline for a few weeks while moving house etc , what the hell happened to the forum ? it's all weird looking

Agreed , definitely the poor man's Glasgow

That was freezing on a Saturday afternoon , but the following year it was shorts and t-shirt weather in Birmingham , the Baltic weather made a return at Berwick the following March . Honestly that night was the coldest i'd ever experienced at the speedway .

He's obviously got wind of the proposed change to the starting procedure for next season . Tommy the tapetoucher will benefit greatly from that .

But you do in sporting and entertainment events . Both sides of the argument have been well made and both are valid . We'll just have to wait and see if it causes an impact on the attendance level of the more mature supporter when the tapes rise in March . Apologists for the owners will back them to the hilt regardless , but I cant help feeling it's a bit harsh on supporters who have followed the Tigers over the decades and now find themselves at a certain age . We already have the most expensive speedway in the Championship , this is just another squeeze on the long term fan .

And Iversen

We always are anyway

I'd need to come and join you in the Black and Gold every weekend to get my speedway fix in that case lol

Our owners have done most things right , but i cant understand the thinking behind this decision . It beggers belief

Keeping them back just incase we get a couple of Edinburgh promoters shouting " spare change " outside the grandstand

We keep them for toilet roll

I don't understand the reasoning anyway . Surely when the Gallacticos are in town , the home tracks will be sold out with the punters drooling over the magnificence of the men in stripes .

Well that's the millions spent and the team of Gallacticos assembled . Just awaiting now the delivery of the golden coloured shale and the diamond encrusted big screen . Car park all marked out for the company Ferraris which will ferry the riders to the closer , more poverty ridden , tracks . While the state of the art lear jet will transport the riders to the more southern based tracks . Sponsorship from our good friend the Sultan of Brunei has been secured , even though the price of our season ticket was almost beyond his means . Looks like another interesting season ahead , and the stadium will be looking pristine come March after the Winter band of stadium workers clean the grandstand seats up with twenty pound notes .

I should be paying my yearly visit there that night

A strong engine room though , an almost certain dependable back up to two strong heat leaders , home and away . Only needs for James Sarjeant to leave his disappointing 2017 campaign behind ,now that he's back at the scene of his most successful season yet , for Glasgow to be serious title contenders .

Ah so , it's not the winning , but the taking part that counts . That's where we've been going wrong

Cracking night at Ibrox last night ( haven't said that for a while lol ) , welcome Chris and James to the Stripes and the great news we are becoming a FIM track and hosting a World under 21 World team cup round in July .

With Lakeside , Peterborough and Ipswich all in our league the possibility for a decent southern tour exists . All I need is for the fixture planner to use some common sense and I can start saving up some beer tokens

Couldn't agree more . A fair and well prepared track and two evenly matched sides and you forget all about the politics and red tape complicating the sport we love .

If he's anything like his Dad it would be wonderful to enjoy having him as a Tiger of the future .
