jenga Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Yes, Matty started the 2011 season on a 7.04 average, and I'm sure it's been higher than that at points. *2011 Scotwaste Monarchs' team so far: Kevin Wolbert (Germany) 7.96, Matthew Wethers (captain, Australia) 7.04, Andrew Tully (Scotland) 6.68, Ashley Morris (England) 3.00. Points remaining 17.82.* EDIT: He started 2009 on a 7.30 average.

Points remaining 17.82.* EDIT: He started 2009 on a 7.30 average. As far as Wethers goes, the 2010 season was the last time he averaged over seven, since then he has not achieved that figure so if the current rules were enforced he wouldn't have gained a visa for season 2012,13,14, not unless he went back to Australia and qualified through their state Championships.

jenga Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) its a good job i dont make the decisions lol thats why i am making the point about fans saying that certain riders did achieve the average criteria, but not in 2014. its gonna be tough on some guys.

mac101 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) Such a positive post lol, No Justin S for Edinburgh then 6.99 : ( sure Justin qualifies with being in the the top 4 of state championship anyway and for someone to put 2 pts on there average after a year out is pretty good Edited February 27, 2015 by mac101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingersfin Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) A quick round up of the highlights from last night's Supporters club night (that resonated with me) Gerry and Michael took to the mic to thank the previous promotion for keeping the club alive and enduring heavy losses over their tenure. Particular praise was singled out for Gordon Pairmen who had been great to deal with and had had the Tigers interests at heart from day one. The purchase was completed in the 29th of Dec so the work done since then has been huge.New stand roofs.Plumbing, drainageToilets, Catering, electrics, brand new PA (special thanks given to Ian Beattie for his assistance)Brand new pits designed around comfort and convenience for the riders.Concrete has been laid around end of home straight and first second bend to allow installation of new modularwelcome complex and bar, restaurant? area. Which is built and is being craned in next week.Floodlight poles are up with lights delivered next week.Back straight has had new walls built offering tiered viewing across the embankment.Disabled access is a priority New Fencing around the stadiumItems not ready for tapes upConversion of tote building into 3 hospitality units, awaiting planning permissionClub have bought land from council at the back of new pits area to allow construction of academy (presumably including training track) and 4-500 car park. Brothers have spent £600k to date, club is clear of all debt. Michael asked that the supporters bring a friend and he seemed excited about the academy and the chance to turn some of the local kids lives around. Loads of new sponsors coming on board partly because of the brothers clout but also because they buy into the rejuvanation story and prospects for the local youth. Stewart D came on and ran through the team and his new role as stadium/team manager described as his dream job. Stewart was very funny as usual. Next up were Aaron and surprise guest Dimitri - Usual rider chat, looking forward to new season hope to do well, increase average, beat Edinburgh etc no love lost for Havelock. Jim MacGregor next up to summarise rule changes, was at the bar so only caught bits of this but apparenty the 'cant get off your bike rule at the tapes has been abandoned' (thankfully!) and Glasgow are going to have a 2 minute clock. Richard L and Kozza rep (Mark Blacklock) were up next - My drinks was kicking in by this point but main point of interest was Kozzas visa, lot of effort and money spent on securing it, special immigration advisors have been employed and all being well visa should be forthcoming in next week or so. Kozza was then phoned and gave a brief chat about his problems and desperation to get over. HOF presentation was made to Alan and Stewart with Gordon Pairmen statement (In South Africa). Raffle, Auction and Close Other Bits - Tigers now own a bike to use on promotional stand Michael Max back as centre green presenter New mascot costume arriving. CCTV fitted around stadium with alarms and 24 hour security Overall A great night as always, turn out was high largest I have seen for a supporters night, fans are excited and cant quite believe whats happening #monthetigers Edited March 1, 2015 by Fingersfin 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingersfin Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 No mention of track shape that I heard, I like Michael he is clear, articulate and will come across well on the new PA but he must not go missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tapeworm Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Very impressive performance last night by our new No 1......... smart and articulate. Came over as a true professional sportsman.

SCB Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 So Kozza Smith doesn't fir the criteria then! hope Glasgow have a back up plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 think Max is agood announcer and knowledgeable about the sport but tends to get carried away with home team bias and sticks his oar in on too much.Good luck to him though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
