tyretrax Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 It is! What makes it worse is we have to wait until March next year before we might see proper septet. Don't hold your breath George. Unless we get someone in who knows what they are doing we're stuffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glasgowmicktiger Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 If its cause he was rubbishe as a manager then i will say it but is it all seans blame?

Gazc Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 First i have been for a few weeks and to be honest i wish i hadn't bothered but hats off to the hardcore fans that have been every week having to watch that week in week out it can't be easy shelling your hard earned money watching you team being turned over on a weekly basis. Was interesting to hear Stewart's comments that we are basically running 9.5 points under the limit carrying Thomsen or more to the point his equipment which makes O Malley's kit look GP standard and we will not win any meeting's with that handicap it was clear that he is hurting as much as we are , alas it is now too late in the day to make any further changes as it would be a pretty pointless exercise as the Wooden spoon is destined for Glasgow. Enjoyed Neil Macfarlanes comments also how i wish he was still involved as we would not be in this mess Highlight off the day for me yesterday though was walking through the exit at the end off the meeting hopefully next year we can at least be competitive if only to pay back those loyal fans who have stood by that dross in large numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munchkin Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I'm saying this as an edinburgh fan, I genuinely hope glasgow run next year as both clubs need each other, it's been a sorry state of affairs at Ashfield but hopefully glasgow can regroup and come back stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) i was there on sunday all the tiger fans i meet were nice and jolly seemed to take the speedway on the chin also would like to thank all the tiger staff from the car park also the turnstiles even the woman in the tea hut at the 4th bend all went out of there way for me as now iam disabled it was nice to see so many cheery faces the resaults byou are getting are only temp im sure next year it il,l be better thank you all Chucks glad you were well looked after Glasgow fans have the reputation off being one of the friendliest bunch of fan's and i am glad you enjoyed your visit i am usually nice & jolly myself it is only when i am watching Glasgow at the minute that i become less than jolly here's hoping Glasgow shall be there next year for you to pay us a visit again. I'm saying this as an edinburgh fan, I genuinely hope glasgow run next year as both clubs need each other, it's been a sorry state of affairs at Ashfield but hopefully glasgow can regroup and come back stronger Obvious scenario i can see is that they should organise a fundraising meeting this in my opinion would raise far more than a dinner & sponsored walk , whilst i am not knocking those fundraisers the meeting is the best way to raise a substantial amount. Now that we are well into August and nothing has been even mentioned regard's this and the comments about declaring at the AGM in November wether we shall be running when it is too late tell's me a lot , as i see it they should be at least trying to organize this and promoting it accordingly at least they have tried that option to raise the funding required . I may be way out and something is in the pipeline if so i apologise in advance but time is running out and in order for us to run next year they actively need to be promoting more in term's off holding a meeting like this rather than sitting back and telling the fan's that have had to put up with a lot this year we will let you know in November if we are running or not , the promotion fan relationship is probably at it's lowest at the minute and the Fan's have remained loyal so far but they need to be shown a wee bit more rather than be taken for granted . Time will tell but it ain't looking good Just off topic but i would just like to thank Joe Screen in all that he has done at Glasgow speedway in the last few seasons he has been inspirational at times and no doubt he has helped all the younger lads in the pits behind the scene. Enjoy your retirement Joe and i am sure i speak for all Glasgow fan's in saying you will be sadly missed at Glasgow here's hoping that he remains associated with the sport in some capacity I would hope that the current promotion would acknowledge everything he has done for Glasgow via the website i am sure this will come in time As Grievesy is still riding we can hopefully give James the send off he deserves sadly we were unable to do this for Joe hopefully he will be up before the season end's so we the fan's can at least show our appreciation .

Brujas Espanolas Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Couldn't agree more , 3 pts from Risager against clearly the worst team in the league is not good enough . Him riding at 5 will 100% come back to haunt us when we face the better teams ! Surely the management can't be that blind , can they ? A typical Suffolk response!! Reminds me of the lass next door. Gains 8 A*s, 2 As, and a B in her GCSEs. Does her grandmother congratulate her on her excellent achievement? Yes eventually, but only after an initial comment expressing disappointment at the B!!!! So instead of focusing on the positives of a massive away win, we get another whinge about one rider. As I said typical Suffolk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yes he quit i dont know why but he did. Regrettably, we must announce that team manager Sean Courtney has decided, with immediate effect, to step down from active involvement with the club. A combination of factors have led to Sean taking this difficult decision with conflicting work and family commitments ultimately meaning that he felt he is no longer able to give his team manager obligations the full focus that they require. Sean has requested that we pass on his very best wishes to all supporters, staff and sponsors of the Tigers. From the Tiger Offical site.

There is pretty much universal agreement around Foxhall ( not that you would know ) that Morten has created a bit of a rift within the team and as soon as he's moved to No5 he's the worst scorer on the night ! He's clearly not in the best of form at the moment and a spell at No2 with Ben would probably be beneficial to him and the team . So why you come on here and have a pop at me beggars belief ! Its not a typical Suffolk response , I'm as pleased as anyone about the win . Just trying to get across an opinion that a lot of others seem to be agreeing with .

Oh dear another typical Suffolk response. What on earth makes you think I was having "a pop" at you? I was just passing comment on your extremely negative comments. Try to get a grip, and understand the dynamic of debate!!! Mind you the comment "...pretty much universal agreement..." did make me smile. Superb gobbledygook!!!!

You always were pretty argumentative under youre previous guise . ( and a know it all ) Im only being negative about a negative subject ! If you're so much in the know what is the answer to the teams potential problems ? Pretty positive overall this year , I just don't want it to go pear shaped at a critical time of the season ! Awaiting a no doubt dismissive , high and mighty nit picking response . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lioness Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I hate to see what it would be like if you'd lost lol Morten did look as if he kept himself seperate a bit in the pits during the racing but some riders prefer that, its their way of focussing. The team looked a pretty cohesive unit during the track walk. Mind you, as a Glasgow fan what would I know! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that there are some on here who haven't grasped the concept of debate. Instead of accepting that people can adopt contrary positions, they see this as having "a pop" at them. Instead of arguing their case coherently, they choose to make personal remarks instead. What this says about the individual involved is for others to judge, but it is rather sad.
