Mr Blobby Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 You are too hard on yourself maybe not nice to watch but calling yourself horrible to watch is an exaggeration . Must proof read before posting. I was having great evening wathcing your lot taking a gubbing until the tide changed. Was not pleased in the slightest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSC67 Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Well that looks like that one piece of silverware that's not coming to Shielfield this season . Very poor meeting IMHO dull & boring , with only the good company I was in that made the trip worthwhile .

Fromafar Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Possibly the most mind numbingly boring meeting I have ever witnessed. Glasgow got themsleves together once they started gating and were always going to win. For Berwick Doolan started well and faded, the Slovenian cant gate for toffee so clearly going to be a good Berwick rider. Vissing disappointing in my opinion. TJ ok nothing more, he should really have won ht14. The track produced absolutely no racing sadly, not having a go just an observation, very disappointing. Get beat again next week and I think the healthy crowds will just tail off.I think criticising the riders is a bit harsh given the state of the track .Passing was just about impossible and they seemed to be giving their all in vain .I do agree agree things will have to improve if we want to hold the crowd levels during the season .I also understand that riders prefer slick tracks at the start of a season but surely that track tonight was too slick or maybe that's how or team want it ? It certainly was not entertainment tonight .Well done to the Tigers though they did adapt to the track when it mattered.

Bandits4eva Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Back to how it was last season... decent 1st half performance and a 2nd half crumble.. said to me Mam I wasn't counting me chickens after heat 7... didn't want to be proved right though! The track was not conducive to any racing whatsoever... ach well, least we'll be behind from the start next week rather than lose it in the last few heats! Will still be at Glasgow later today god forbid!

screm Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Losing at home s no good to anyone, especially if it becomes a regular thing, but Berwick wont run into teams as good as Glasgow every week so there`s hope yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Glasgow will CERTAINLY improve in the coming weeks and months.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythman666 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 No complaints from me, beaten by a better side on the night. The falls of Vissing and Voldrich were simply a case of guys trying too hard and being committed. ...don't think anyone can complain about that. Well done to the Tigers on a great win. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were there for the taking though.... your average fan (unlike the die hards who have been year after year) will ask how you could throw away a lead like that... another home loss next week because Edinburgh quite frankly have our place sussed now... you can see Sheffield pushing us when they come in the league at the end of the month... Workington the week after in LC... crowds won't part with 15 quid to watch a losing team for too long! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Doesn't matter which way you look at it, that was a spectacular collapse. It's difficult to judge early season form, riders are still struggling with set ups etc. Get through April and then judge them. It's way too soon to say how the seasons gonna pan out Edited April 5, 2015 by Shads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult to judge early season form, riders are still struggling with set ups etc. Get through April and then judge them. It's way too soon to say how the seasons gonna pan out According to the promotion the collapse was partly down to a couple of falls and a slickening track, cant do much about the first two but you`d think they could do something about the track which seems to have been very slick. But your right, one defeat shouldn't cause to much alarm, but one or two more in the next few weeks will lead to fans voting with their feet, no matter how great the Saturday night experience at Shielfield is for some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spittalbandit Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Not the end of the world. Think track was not condusive to good racing and only got slicker as meeting went on. Actually think matic is ok speed wise just needs to gate. Alex is stepping up a notch and actually showing more the form i had expected in past years. Bit bad luck with falls and machinery or imo we probably would have won. But why didnt they just put bit water on track when they realised wss getting too slick for home team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilali Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Lets face facts, Berwick have a poor team and will be down the bottom. Glasgow were very rusty to begin with last night but once they came to terms with it being a gating paradise they were a different level and they will hammer Berwick at Ashfield today. I really think they need to look into how they prepare thay track to actually provide some form of entertainment because if they are losing and people arent being entertained theres only going to be one outcome and you cant really blame fans for that imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly spot on thats what i said last night 12 up after 7 heats 8 heats later 5 behind heat 8 is our weakest heat at the moment still early days but as someone else said maybe watering would have helped.

bigeddiechek Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 Fabulous, we're one competitive meeting into the season and we're talking about fans voting with their feet. It's what support is really all about. Only the league winners deserve it. =D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To maintain decent and healthy crowds you must win at home,and if lose them then it is very hard to get them back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
