MD Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 James grieves would have been the perfect last piece of our puzzle if only hed have one last season Chipped 1.5 points off his average in 2013, time was right to retire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigger63 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) The length of time to officially sign Joey seems a wee bit odd.................I was sure that the last two riders would be announced as a pair and that the delay would be in signing the other guy and not Joey. I always felt that Joey had been told off-the-bat "you're in as long as we can use up all the other points on six other decent (or potentially decent) guys". I wonder if he's had an offer from elsewhere and the promotions hand was forced? We'll probably never know. I'd still want all the remaining points to be used up......................and not an assessed 7.00 novice please, no thanks. I know he's very much splitting opinions on here but I'd still be reasonably happy with Mark Lemon. Yes he'll never (probably) be a 9.00+ rider again but he'd do a steady middle order 6.50-7.00, and he'd been good at mentoring Di Edited January 8, 2014 by tigger63 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.m Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 have we never thought that maybe joey was hanging out for more money..... he wouldn't be the first rider to hold out for more £££££££££££££££....... it looks like lemon or bager.........just think lemon will be the best no7 in the league. To make that happen Anders will need to ride his real engine and not his lawnmower. I'm sure he will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Joey Ringwood could, or would hold out for extra money. Last season a very reliable source advised me both Harley Horwood and Joey were getting considerably less per point than other riders in the same position. Even if he asked Tigers for a little bit more, he'd still be a very inexpensive signing. Amazed if he isn't nailed on to re-sign. There certainly won't be a cheaper option for the club out there.

He HAS re-signed as per our official press release today. As there is still a number of riders available we can be careful who we choose and it should be a promoters market for once!!

Weeyin Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Welcome to Glasgow , Mark Lemon, I am sure he will be a solid second string for us and may even get some good race wins,Mark by his own standards had a poor season last year, he should at least hold his current average 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 A decent signing to finish off a decent looking team that will hold its own at home. Hard to take the negativity on here, compared to the sh1te we were served up last year its eutopia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetiger2799 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Fantastic signing Fantastic Team. GazC get the BMW washed and fueled up, as there will be many a road trip this year following the Tigers to glory. what makes this a fantastic signing in my opinion is that if/when Anders or even Joey get new averages I fully expect them, Anders particularly, to be challenging to get into the top 5. Now one of two things can happen.... ...Mark Lemonony Lemon can do a Shane Parker, get a 2nd lease of life and be a revaluation. Keeping his place in the top 5, keeping Anders or Joey at reserve. or Marks average decreases slightly dropping him to reserve alongside yon wee French bloke. but what is guaranteed for the first time since 2011 is that we will always have a strong reserve, which we all know any time destined for success strives for.

SteveLyric2 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Poor signing. I'm sure the Glasgow promotion won't go back on it though - unlike Plymouth!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former devil Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'm sure the Glasgow promotion won't go back on it though - unlike Plymouth!!!! Agree. Im well aware of the Lemon situation at Plymouth, but it was badly handled by the promotion. Good luck to Mark and Glasgow in 2014. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapeworm Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 What flexibility does a Team Manager have in arranging his team ? Does he have to place the highest averaged rider at No 1, the second highest at No 5, and the lowest two at Nos 6 & 7 (either way round) ? Does the third highest have to ride at No 3 ? Are there any other restrictions, apart from in heat 15 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
