fred Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) Love the fact when Glasgow fans talk about getting riders they always want ones who can ride Armadale well. Forget Ashfield and the other tracks in the league just aslong as they ride Armadale well . Obsession Edited December 2, 2013 by fred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Think Tully, Theo, Claus, Matty & Deek would have been a good start but now that you have Rusty, one of them would have to drop out. Oh wait - Andy Tully is not racing next year so problem solved!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget Ashfield and the other tracks in the league just aslong as they ride Armadale well . Obsession More like embarrassment. Usually by ht4 we are a double figure score behind and struggle to reach 30 by the end. It would be nice just for once to be competitive at Edinburgh, even up to ht10 would do. However your point is right, home form first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolt Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Wasn't wee Joe, the only rider you had who's average increased, while all others decreased? Sounds strange to hear people saying he wasn't great when he was one of the higher point scores for Tigers most of the season away from home and your youngest rider? Strange thinking??

albyhere Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Yess! Result! II said a wee while ago if we signed Theo and Anders I'd be happy. I rate these two guys highly. Well done promoters, and welcome back Theo. Now the Pijper must be paid, and I'm happy to pay my share via the turnstile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekimba Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I am saddened that Theo has left us as he was Mr dependable but heigh ho hes gone now. i wish him all the best on his return and hopefully he will come back to us in 2015 on a lower average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutz Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I am saddened that Theo has left us as he was Mr dependable but heigh ho hes gone now. i wish him all the best on his return and hopefully he will come back to us in 2015 on a lower average Agreed to an extent he was Mr. Dependable at home - though some heat 15's found him wanting... However, Away from home at a lot of tracks I saw him, he was poor and never gave the back-up that the top of the team really needed... A move away was inevitable really but good luck to him in his "new" surroundings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monarchlad Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Title badge.....I don't think so But good luck to Theo.......as long as he stays an asset, we may see him doing more returns than Kenny Millar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragdoll64 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 With these three signings on board, how about the following for a team that would do well at home and give a good account of themselves at the Dale? Magnus Karlsson 8.40 Theo Pijper 7.70 Matty Wethers 6.79 Rusty Harrison 6.63 Henning Bager 5.30 Anders Thomsen 4.11 Joey Ringwood 3.56 42.49 I know some folks are against Bager returning but if Anders improves as expected, then Henning would drop to become a very effective reserve. That's if he doesn't improve on last year of course, which he could well do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragdoll64 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Dosen't look too bad but i would change Wethers for Vissing and Ringwood with a 3 pointer I see where you're coming from but I honestly think higher scoring reserves are key to better team performances. Too often we've been let down in this department. As long as the team competes at the dale! typical tiggers mentality For your benefit as well as ours. Or do you enjoy drubbings as opposed to close racing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cj69 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Why so concerned with winning at the dale? Its only one track. Yes had some bad teams but also some great teams. I like tigers but only team I know so concerned about beating closest rivals. Finish bottom of the league but win at the dale? Would that be a good season?

Monarchlad Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 your correct Blooby, it seems to be all about doing well at the Dale.............what about the other 8 tracks???. no point winning at us, that would only give them 2 points, and if they were to win all their home matches, even with 3 points, plus to 2 at the dale..........44 points would not get you in the play offs this year.........but........they can dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next signing is a crucial one, as to whether we get a rider with average above 8 to go at No1 instead of Pijper or go with high averaged reserves.
