Paulco Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 So here we have it . Two years ago our respective promotions were hurling insults at each other as the two Tigers were vying for the title . Now we are the worst two teams in the league , though we have managed to secure the wooden spoon , and by some distance . Guests will be to the fore with Theo Pijper , getting respite from his exile in the eastern front , coming in for Joe Screen for the home diddies . And Son of God being the inspired choice to replace Simon Stead for the away diddies . Kevin Doolan was meant to guest for the unfortunate Adam Roynon , but he's injured as well - so it's anybodies guess who'll step in there . Sheffield have r/r for their latest foreign Sunday meeting dodger . Teams for the basement battle might be Bottom diddy team 1 Theo Pijper 2 Anders Thomsen 3 Henning Bager 4 James Grieves 5 Dakota North 6 Joe Jacobs 7 Joey Ringwood 2nd bottom diddy team 1 Richard Lawson 2 Andre Compton 3 Ricky Wells 4 r/r 5 Kevin Doolan or somebody else 6 Simon Lambert 7 Facundo Albin Can we end our near 4 month wait for a win , will it be dry as it never is when Sheffield come calling , will Anders' bikes go faster than the average lawn mower .............all this and more will be answered in 24 hours . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Doolan being injured could save us from another hiding. Lawson and Wells are thoroughly decent at Ashfield and Compton looks to have picked up since he joined Sheffield. Thankfully Lambert isn't decent and Albin will be a bit if a mystery. Whether we can win the reserve points though remains to be seen. Glasgow are still far too sh!te and inconsistent, and can only see another away win.

spin king Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 The line not quite correct. (4) Danny Maassen (5) Rider Replacement. . I would be happy to see us picking up a point for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graz gp Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 It's all very depressing. I think I will get my coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeyin Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Going to be another tough meeting...Sheffield much stronger with guests...Richie Lawson and Aaron Summers as guests both ride Ashfield well and Ricky Wells and Andre Compton can also do us some damage... For the REAL Tigers , Theo Pijper should be okay, Hopefully James will repeat last weeks performance and Dakota wont get excluded!! We need Anders Thomsen to perform like he did at his first Ashfield meeting, all in all it is a hard one to predict, but I live in hope that Glasgow can finally get a win ......Pleeeeeeeeease !!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 I think the Glasgow fans will see their team win today. I really hope so . I found myself thinking to myself this morning " can i really stand watching another gubbing today , should i just stop at home and watch Liverpool v Man Utd and Arsenal v Spurs " . Of course i'll end up going , but that's the first time i can ever remember thinking that way on a Sunday morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that you have every chance of seeing a win today, maybe not all three points but I think a win for Glasgow is the likely outcome.

Would appear the Sheffield revised line up is - 1 Son of God 2 Andre Compton 3 Ricky Wells 4 r/r for Maasen 5 Aaron Summers 6 Simon Lambert 7 Facundo Albin Quite a decent line up with two Ashfield specialists as guests and r/r for the German giving either Wells ( who was excellent at our place last season ) or Summers an extra outing . Much might depend on Lambert , who has had double figure returns at Ashfield in the past , but was woeful when up with Somerset a fortnight ago .

Blimey, that is a decent Sheffield line up, I will revise what I thought, I think we should sneak a win.

Lamberts double figures came during the single lane season of 2010 when if you gated there wasn't enough track width to get passed. Can only see a repeat of two weeks ago, hopefully !

Paulco Posted September 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 sorry for my ignorence but who is son of god and why thanks Son of God is Richard Lawson , chucks .

The Ken Le Breton you speak of was actually a Glasgow Giants rider . Glasgow had two teams in the early 50's , and ironically the Giants rode at the same stadium that the current Tigers use .

eide67 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hope Theo helps you to a win today - you deserve it after the season you've had to endure. However, looking at the revised Sheffield line-up, it won't be easy. I think it could be down to the reserves who at last seem to be coming good for Glasgow.

MD Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Finally a Sunday without a home defeat. Based on the racing a draw was a fair result however 8 points from Maassen r/r more than helped Sheffield to a draw. Albin looked decent after a poor first ride, working hard for his points. You could be forgiven in some heats for wondering if it was Bager who had never seen the track before. Ringwood was excellent when he gated, four race wins by ht8 then not a lot thereafter. Dakota North also looked much better. With one more PL match left for Glasgow, regardless of how it finishes we will end the season with single figure points, and deservedly so! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Albin in the pits and was very impressed with him and the way he kept working at improving things as well as the way he improved every race. Dak definitely benefitted from the move to no5, he was flying. Theo is a great team man and was an excellent guest for us. Nice touch as well to wear his Glasgow kevlars, pity we cant make it permanent 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
