Gazc Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Loyalty issues ? I am nearer 69 than I like to think . Been a Tigers fan since they started, literally, in the 40's. Off and on to be sure due to circumstances, geography etc. Loyalty issues you say ? Aye right . I do understand how you feel was yanking your chain regard's Rangers and that other mob but i could never support Edinburgh over Glasgow no matter what i was brought up supporting the tigers not as long as you mind you do what you feel is right but we need as many fan's as possible especially just now.

george.m Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) I have form on this, having been brought up to support Glasgow Rangers, Good man! You'll do for me! Visiting Armadale doesn't mean you've changed your colours, once a Tiger always a Tiger. But I can understand your dilemma. I have to drive past Armadale to get to Ashfield. Watching at Armadale I see speedway. Watching at Ashfield I want my team to win or at least be entertained that added dimension comes into it when you evaluate whether or not it's been value for money when you get home.

SCOTLAND1314 Posted July 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 I would like to think so but this season will live long in the memory for all the wrong reasons if we come to the tapes next year the team structure need's to be right with up & coming riders rather than the riders in there twilight we could do worse than adopt the same team building strategy that the Monarchs use and get right most years. To be fair to the new part of the Glasgow promotion you are not comparing like with like. Edinburgh have a large number of years of experience and a great knowledge of riders from around the world (I actually heard a bit of this first hand last night - very interesting indeed) Whereas the new guys involved at Glasgow had to start from a lower knowledge base. The team choices at the start of the season did surprise me but I'm sure they didn't get their first choices. Although the BSPA to their credit did challenge a couple of the signings and to be fair they are looking like they were right to do so (nothing against the riders in question). It is easy to support a winning team and very difficult to support a losing team (we all have experience of both). But what is the alternative for the immediate future - 'no speedway'. I'd imagine the promotion at Glasgow may be losing a bit of money at the minute (although I don't know this for sure) but perhaps signing a 'rider for the future' may be the way to go i.e. as per Edinburgh's recent past If that were the case perhaps that would help the promotion hang onto their fans for the remainder of the season. It's always great tracking such a rider's progress. I honestly feel that a home win or two is on the cards for Glasgow very soon and when that happens hopefully that'll help with a bit more of a feel good factor. Finish the season on a high.

Think you may have overlooked the part after Glasgow Rangers George it went downhill from there but at least he was honest wrong choice but honest .

As ever word's of wisdom but if you have been watching our home performances lately home win's are not going to happen with this team unless we strengthen which may be on the cards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a good chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
