Fingersfin Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Another plus one here for Saturday night's. The rest of the family who don't share my love of circles will get to see their husband and dad on a Sunday afternoon which has gone down very well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Edinburgh will complain if it's at all possible. Sorry for Berwick because we have a great relationship with them.Dont see how it effects Berwick 120 mls away.A few casual at most nowadays.Whether a Sat in Glasgow is the best night is the debatable point among Glasgow fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damosuzuki Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 The Facennas have been a godsend for Glasgow ploughing money and a huge amount of effort into the club. They will be doing this as part of their effort to make Glasgow speedway sustainable. Speedway, more than many sports has a large number of people resistant to any change, and the facebook posts are people who now can't make it or just don't fancy it. I'm sure they'll run with it and see how it goes, but there's a noisy segment of speedway goers who will moan about everything. Usually the same people who I've never seen give an ounce of thanks to the Facennas for their efforts. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normski Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 Think it might affect the fixture list if it goes through. A lot of southern based teams normally do Berwick Saturday & Glasgow Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the same people who I've never seen give an ounce of thanks to the Facennas for their efforts. What the Facennas have done is incredible and truly remarkable, buying the stadium, ploughing money into its repair, they got that done straight away, they are do-ers, go-getters, they just get it done, and putting so much effort, enthusiasm and hard work that matches the financial investment. Giving the Ashfield football team a rent-free home, and all the enthusiasm and effort, better marketing, very professional. It seems any criticism comes from others out of sheer jealousy which is a pity. Bet they wouldn't be so scornful if it happened to their team. As I said on another thread, Jealousy: one of the greatest weaknesses known to man. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why , we even had your sponsor making a fool of himself on there during the KO Cup final on Monday night . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I think also that corporate sponsorship is a better option on a Saturday evening making it easier to sell 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharpenRake Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 It's a business decision. They're running a business. Going by the official Facebook page it change to Saturday hasn't gone down well with most people. Spot on Joseq7 and the thing about the Facennas is they see it as part of the entertainment business and like many others I think evening meetings produce better atmosphere and racing. And Blubby the announcement seemed to go down really well at the dance on Saturday night. The Facennas have grown the business doubling the crowd since taking over but they started at a very low base. It sounds as if this is an attempt to get more people through the doors, attract more sponsorship, corporate hospitality all of which can only be good for the tigers. If it fails at least they will have tried. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he became a bit of a cult hero but I personally wouldn't have Danny Ayres back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GS550 Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) Very few points getting scored with those Reserves. I know he became a bit of a cult hero but I personally wouldn't have Danny Ayres back. That's a difficult call. If its based upon grit, determination, all out effort, and total commitment, Ayers is a 20 point man!! He's also near the top of the National League averages, and was one of the better 3 point riders in the Prem League. Think his scoring dipped in mid-season for the Tigers through injury and just trying too hard, a bit of over-riding by flying into the bends too fast, could do with maybe not so much speed going into the bends and then keeping the throttle open more coming out - when he was overtaken it seemed to be coming out of bends whereby the overtaking rider had maintained more momentum but Danny seemed to have lost his by going in too fast, shutting off, and then having to build up again coming out. A definite 300% trier though and he did win a few races for the Tigers, as confirmed by his celebrations of course.

GS550 Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I'd prefer to have a No.6 about 4.25 That's a fair shout. Think Mr Ayres could well achieve 4.25 next season but you mean a starting average of 4.25, potentially becoming a 5 point plus rider in the latter part of the season, which is fair comment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
