  1. yeah suppose not and Worky were near to hand last night .
  2. Sorry to hear about Lewis Bridger's crash last night , hope he's not too badly hurt , these guys really deserve every penny they earn , no other sport comes close to the risks these boys take . Anyway onto today , dry and cloudy at the moment , there are showers forecast , but hopefully they'll give us a miss and let us enjoy an evening at the track . Our campaign has been interrupted by postponements and we need to get three points today to keep in touch with Ipswich and Edinburgh . We wont take Berwick for granted though , any team can be a threat on any given day , hope it's an entertaining and crash free tussle .
  3. They do southern and northern tours , but in general that is the case
  4. Stuart Wilson is from Workington and has refereed Comets meetings , it happens in speedway
  5. With a heat leader trio of Morris , Bridger and Doolan in opposition , unlikely .
  6. No nobody is saying that The neutrals in attendance that have posted on here have stated that there was plenty of movement at the starts , especially Garrity . You're obviously a Bear's fan and are pointing the finger at the ref . Neutrals don't have their opinion blinded with natural bias towards any team , therefore a more balanced view is expressed . I'm not doubting you feel the ref had a nightmare , but when you take the Bears goggles off maybe he wasn't as bad as you think .
  7. Jim does attend functions at Glasgow , Edinburgh and Berwick . As i'm sure other referees do up and down the country . First and foremost they are speedway fans and unfortunately they are a dwindling bunch in number . Jim comes down hard on riders moving at the start , always has done . That can result in many reruns , but that's the way it is with Jim . But one thing he cant be accused of is bias towards Glasgow , we often feel quite the opposite .
  8. It's a much harder league than it's given credit for and most of the 2 pointers are struggling . Must be soul destroying for them at times . But he's young and has time on his side , hope this is just a minor setback and he comes back stronger
  9. Think the dust should have settled by now . I suppose a lot of things were said out of frustration and in the heat of the moment . Hope Coty is ok and a rider's well being should always be the only concern that matters . So both teams will just have to dust themselves down and do it all again , and when the restaging happens I hope there isn't any controversy and the best team on the night wins .
  10. While all that is true , you cant blame the ordinary fan , who doesn't know what goes on behind the scenes , being disappointed when an important rider in his or her team is missing from the only meeting they're interested in . We know it's where speedway is just now , but for the average fan who pays his money at the gate , it's disappointing .
  11. Just as well then your nearest and dearest relieved you of any latter stage KO Cup commitments
  12. Yes plus David Nagel And swap Sean Courtney for Shane Bowes and Stewart MacDonald for Nagel and you have a pretty good 1994 side too
  13. Glasgow's first ever league champions in 1993 . Robert Nagy Shane Bowes David Walsh Nigel Crabtree Mick Powell Jesper Olsen James Grieves Won the league in a canter and beat Jason Crump's Swindon in the KO Cup Final
  14. Maybe , but it would be a bit suss . A potential buyer would wonder where it came from
  15. No , only league matches . No two legged matches count , KO Cup or play offs
  16. Going back to my youth when Glasgow raced at Hampden Park . Glasgow had an evening newspaper then called the Evening Citizen , and on a Friday it was the Speedway special , with it almost completely dedicated to that week's home meeting . Now we're lucky to get a couple of lines in a newspaper .
