Gazc Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) Would not rule out Tigers yet. Remember 2013 when Monarchs lost the home leg in the Ko Cup to Diamonds by 1 pt and then went to Brough Park on the the Sunday and against all odds, won by 2pts Going to be tough though not expecting anything from our reserves with Victor missing will need our top 4 scoring heavily to stand a chance but as you say wouldn't rule them out but think we may have too long a tail on this occasion. Also got to give credit to Newcastle where they done the sensible thing by not over committing but packing in for a few shared heats they rode intelligently and very well on the day.

screm Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 ON recent form, I would not rule out Mr Kus as a 2016 Diamonds signing. I can think of one club, if they run, might like Kus back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadrianDog Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 I can think of one club, if they run, might like Kus back. Granted on that screm. Doubt he wants to stay at Redcar, so does he want your big track or a year to learn on a technical circuit down here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When all said and done, a rider will go where the money is, either in pay or sponsorship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 I fear Victor's absence at reserve is going to be the deciding factor in this tie , especially tonight . He's done well on small , tight away tracks and I really cant see Carr and Stichauer doing much at Brough . We did as well as we could today , but whether 6 points will be enough of a lead is questionable . Summers and Lawson were superb again until Richard must have had bike issues prior to heat 13 and just missed the two minutes when he appeared on Aaron's bike . I feel for young James now , he has this reputation as a roller at the starts , and it seems everytime he makes a start now the referees bring the race back . That happened today and I didn't see much wrong with the gate he made and it was noticeable in a couple of his races that he was slowest from the start as if he was over compensating . Anyway we had some incredibly fast times today , either that or Mr M Mouse supplied the stopwatch cause the existing track record was beaten 5 times and Hynek 57.7 in heat 2 !!!! seriously haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For everyone who thinks he is being victimised there is someone who thinks he is at it. Im in the latter and other than at Kings Lynn last week, I dont recall seeing any injustices. With the process of maturity he will learn he cant get away with jumping the starts forever though with being influenced by Gary Havelock that may take longer than expected. The more he is defended the longer it will go on. With the new averages out next week it looks like Sarjeant is staying in the 1-5 by a narrow 0.02. Lawson moves to No1 with Morris likely going to 5 which hopefully means we will see the best of him before the season is out. Sarj has just jumped the start in ht1 at NCL! Aaaaarrrgghhhhh!

Al Stewart Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 "Against all Odds" What a pathetic and self indulgent comment. You only won because Ludde changed lines on the last 4th bend, and let in Max. Nothing Herculian as you want to us to believe. It absolutely was against all odds. What you haven't mentioned is that Jozsef Tabaka was injured in his last ride in the first leg and we had a weak rider replacement at Newcastle. We thought we had no chance. You might have been justified if you'd said Newcastle deserved to win by more than one in the first leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think one small error decided the entire tie, and so Edinburgh's undoubtedly Herculean efforts to turn the tie round are not to be acknowledged, would you like to bestow the Tsunami accolade of approval on anything at all which Edinburgh have done in the past 67 years?

I was just wondering is it ok to mention the Glasgow v Newcastle fixture on this thread. Glasgow deserved to win the meeting and in normal circumstances even the highly critical fans would be happy but in a 2 leg affair we sadly missed Vikter and Nemo. With normal temperature resumed the track held up well despite the early start with lots of fast times and a track record. although many fans like the 2 meetings in one day I've never been a fan. to many things can go wrong and also hosting the 1st leg puts more pressure on the riders and referee to get things finished quickly and with using r/r there is not much time to tweak set-ups change gearings etc. Hopefully everyone will be fit for Workington away and Rye House at home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCookie Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 First visit to the new Ashfield yesterday and I was really impressed. Facilities, presentation, everything was absolutely spot on. Even the little extras like people being on hand to help out or welcoming you in, real personal touch. Didn't think much of the racing but given the TR supposedly went 2/3 times then maybe the track was just too good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucifer sam Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Palovaara could be the key to the rest of Tigers' season, because he's so difficult to replace. Is out for a while or due back soon? All the best Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
