Paulco Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 So it's back to non televised meetings now ( you can put the horns away now kids , thank you ) as we welcome the other Tigers to our humble abode . Fernando moves into the main body of the team and the injured Nike Lunna drops to reserve , so we'll have a wee guesty at reserve , but I don't know who yet . No Jason Garrity for Sheffield , so no gift points for us , and maybe no Josh Bates either as I'm sure I read somewhere he had been stepped down for 9 days with concussion . This will be another tough test of our play off credentials , but I'm hopeful of another three points . Just as long as the weather plays nice , a Sheffield visit has a history of rain problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damosuzuki Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I'm going to predict 47-43 - guest wise does it look like Liam Carr.... Rate him much more highly this season but he's a bit harum scarum at Ashfield. We really need to be winning every meeting at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue Ball Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 In theory Bates should be OK to ride - his accident/concussion was a week last Thursday so the 9 days would be up today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackadder Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 GLASGOW: Richard Lawson, Fernando Garcia, Richie Worrall, Rene Bach, Aaron Summers, Dan Bewley, Danny Ayres. SHEFFIELD: Simon Stead, Jason Garrity R/R, Dimitri Berge, Josh Bates, Kyle Howarth, Arthur Sissis, Nathan Greaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpenRake Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Hope the track dries out and the rain goes away! we suffered badly on Wednesday with the starts being sodden and the track being slick. I know it would cost a fortune to try and cover the whole track but would it not be a good idea to cover the starting area with a roller blind type cover from top of boundary wall down to the inside line? This would allow air in and stop track from sweating and allow the starts to be there normal grippy self. On to the match this will be tight Stead and berge could go through the card and sissis will dominate the reserves races so down to the Richie/rene pairing to come up with heat advantages. Just hope Nikke is back soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forecast is a lot better for tomorrow but how warm it will be is another thing , I would imagine the heavy bursts we have had today would have done the track not a lot of good.

He's not gating but has plenty of speed to pass but isnt really making passes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Rain off in the west. Thought there wasn't such a thing. I'll be expecting photos of the track building up to start time and on start time to prove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthegearbutnaeidea Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 It's fine Glasgow fans because Edinburgh had the begging bowl out on Friday, anyone up for a sponsored walk across the bridge then u get a choice to jump off or walk back, I know what I would more rather do than walk with 99 Edinburgh fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 First rain off for the season for us. The forecast for today isnt that bad but there isnt enough heat in the atmosphere with todays temp set to be 11 degrees to dry the place out. We had some days in December that was warmer than that! We are at Scunthorpe next Sunday so may need to revert to a weekday for a restaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they all showing up? That is dedication 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
