Bandits4life Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Pleasant surprise that we are in the 4s, Complin should be a joy to watch round there, looking forward to it already. Only problem, I'm going down on coach with Newcastle fans, so please can we beat them for my sake on the way home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look to be in the harder semi (no puns please) but its just nice to see Berwick there.We have a good record in these meetings and around a big track like Peterborough we might just be a surprise.

YorkshirePudding Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 really looking forward to this, im definatley making the trip over to Peterborough and i hope to see plenty of other Tigers fans down there to show some support feeling quietly confident about our chances to win the meeting, Richard Hall and Ashworth have both had plenty of experience around the show ground and it is a track which will suit Josh Auty's racing style. Pepe Franc is coming bang into form at the right moment so i'm sure he will have a good meeting. roll on the 4's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) The winning team looks to be coming from Group 1... I'll stick my neck out and go for a Sheffield Pairs/Fours double. Edited July 27, 2010 by Shadders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I'm well chuffed that we ain't in it. On current form we'd have been smashed to pieces Out of the current selection I think it's between in form Sheffield & Edinburgh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearsayjay Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Newcastle and Birmingham from group 1.Edinburgh and Scunthorpe from group 2.Close between Newcastle and Birmingham for the winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arson fire Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 The winning team looks to be coming from Group 1... I'll stick my neck out and go for a Sheffield Pairs/Fours double. Yeah on paper group one looks really strong, Newcastle and Brum will be sick of the sight of each other, was this draw done in public does anyone know, or in chairman mao's living room??? Seriously what criteria is used to qualify and how is the draw made?? I'm curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrissySW Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 I bet Glasgow aint in it as they will continue with the rules that they used for the pairs, Thus ruling out McGowan, Screen and Grajczonek, How long will they continue to let the MC make decisions on these events when they clearly have one eye on how it will affect there team ! LOL! With Glasgow languishing near the bottom of the League, and Screen apart not having very high averages, why did you think you'd get in? This whole mentality that it's all Edinburgh's fault because Alex is the Chairman is total dross. We're there on merit, you're not on merit. Simples.

This whole mentality that it's all Edinburgh's fault because Alex is the Chairman is total dross. We're there on merit, you're not on merit. Simples. Yeah you're probably correct . With all the rain-offs we've suffered , Joe still hasn't raced enough meetings aparently . What ever the amount needed was will probably remain a secret . Travis and Josh apart , our combined total wouldn't be enough , which ever enough was . Hopefully Edinburgh won't embarrass themselves too much this time , like at Somerset in the Pairs . I'm actually not too bothered as we've a few away meetings in August , and not going to Peterborough will be a saving . Oh by the way , with this meeting being on a Sunday . Will Edinburgh have 4 riders available ? Edited July 27, 2010 by Paulco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young51 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Combined biggest willies OOoooeeerrrrrrr missus If rumours abounding years ago about 'Big Leggy' Powell were true you sure could do with him in the Tiggers team this year going by that criteria!

The SAINT Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Seriously what criteria is used to qualify and how is the draw made?? I'm curious. 'live' averages ie/ august green sheets (calculated on 23rd of each month) of top 4 combined (obviously there is a minimum number of matches required for a rider to qualify for a 'fours' average). think that's how it works (i stand to be corrected) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Edinburgh have 4 riders available ? Very good question, Paul. Would be a real shame is Kevin wasn't there. At least you're a rational Tiger though [most of the time ] and realise that there's no secret vendetta against Glasgow from the BSPA. Look at the amount of home defeats Glasgow have had this season already, and consider the fact that you'd likely need Dicken as your 4th highest average and he's only about a 5 I'd guess.

Cue Ball Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 (i stand to be corrected) I would sit down if I were you - nobody else has got a clue and so your legs might start to ache... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mervjankefanclub Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) The Saint is correct. Glasgow co-promoter Gordon Pairman explained the qualifying criteria on Easy Tiger and it was the top eight teams by average at 23rd July and each rider must have completed a minimum of 8 meetings. I have also seen two different dates for the second leg of the World U21 final in Latvia. One is the 7th of August and the other the following Saturday, not sure which one is correct, but obviously if it is staged on the 14th that could well rule both Wolbert and Bach out of the fours Edited July 27, 2010 by mervjankefanclub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BSPA site gives greensheet averages dated 15 July, so not entirely helpful. PS. There are no scheduled flights from Dugavpils 14 August that will get -21 competitors to P-Boro in time on 15th.

mervjankefanclub Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 (edited) Knowing the effort the BSPA make when scheduling their plum events, you can bet your bollocks the U21 meeting wil be on the 14th then, MM, and quick check on the Lokomotiv Daugavpils site tells us that it is indeed being staged on the 14th Edited July 27, 2010 by mervjankefanclub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
