SharpenRake Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Taken from Tigers official facebook site TEAM NEWS: This Saturday night a very strong Sheffield team visit the Den in search of SGB Championship points. Gates Open 5.30pm Tapes Up 7pm Reminder - New Supporter vouchers are valid for this and every meeting in the 2017 season. GLASGOW 'Allied Vehicles' TIGERS...1 Richard Lawson 9.192 Nike Lunna 5.833 Aaron Summers © 8.984 Dan Bewley 5.645 Richie Worrall 8.956 Tom Perry 3.717 Jack Smith 2.00TM - Stewart Dickson. SHEFFIELD 'Window Centre' TIGERS1 Josh Grajczonek 9.462 Todd Kurtz 5.023 Lasse Bjerre 7.384 Josh Bates 6.335 Kyle Howarth © 8.196 Robert Branford 4.307 Nathan Stoneman 2.00TM - Simon Stead. I'm worried about this one. Sheffield on paper look stronger than both Workington and Ipswich and they ran us close. Josh G could go through the card and Kyle Howarth rode well last year at Ashfield. Mr Bates has had a few shockers but he did have one amazing meeting where he punched well above his weight. So it could come down to which version turns up and pressure again on our 2 reserves. Glasgow to win with Sheffield just missing out on a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ran Sheffield close down there a few weeks back , this could be more of the same . Hopefully our three heat leaders have got their Peterborough nightmare out their system , because they'll all need to be firing on Saturday . Could be a cracker of a meeting with hopefully our version of the Tigers coming out on top . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Tigers might just sneak this one. Maybe not a stroll in the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Tigers might just sneak this one. Maybe not a stroll in the park. But which Tigers ? The ones who so gloriously hammered the Monarchs at home and then oozed class in clinching a deserved draw at the evil lair . Or the Tigers who ceremoniously despatched the Forces of Darkness out of the KO Cup ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Depends which Tigers turn up. But the waste of money that got well humped by the Panters on Sunday could be in for a struggle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Battle of the middle order. Kurtz and Bjerre dont stick out as having any recent Ashfield form though Bates does. Avoiding last places will be just as important as winning heats, and please, no 40 lap grading at ht10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScotsman Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Tractor grading is included in the entrance price though so presumably improves the vfm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damosuzuki Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Sheffield have been my tips last two seasons, but I believe we are now league favourites. Josh G is class but won't go through the card against our top 3. Hopefully Josh B has his boxing gloves on to give us some entertainment during the tractor racing. Narrow win for Scotland's finest.

GlasgowGuy Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Tractor grading is included in the entrance price though so presumably improves the vfm. At least we can actually see our tractors whizzing around (and around!) our circuit, not just the drivers heads! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the best have the odd blip along the course of a long season , yes the standards they have set themselves wasn't achieved at Peterborough , but fear not my Monarch supporting friend , we shall return . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a thought. if the 1100 that paid last week and 840 newbies all come again this week and pay plus more newbies it is going to be really packed. so can see people needing to arrive early to get there seat in the stand and best positions on the terracing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Just had a thought. if the 1100 that paid last week and 840 newbies all come again this week and pay plus more newbies it is going to be really packed. so can see people needing to arrive early to get there seat in the stand and best positions on the terracing Can see it being very busy again tonight I have another 5 newbies tonight and the six last week loved it and plan to attend tonight. Taking into account the bring a friend initiative 1100 paying customers is still impressive,some clubs out there can only dream of getting that amount Our owners are showing how it should be done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue Ball Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 No Josh Bates tonight due to illness, so rider replacement, probably guarantees a win for the Scots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New era Panthers Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) At least we can actually see our tractors whizzing around (and around!) our circuit, not just the drivers heads! Now there's a money making investment for Edinburgh speedway , if Glasgow provide seat cushions at an extra cost to supporters so they can sit in comfort , then maybe Edinburgh should think about investing some money to provide stilts for fans so the can stand and balance and maybe see more than riders helmets going round.

MD Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 No Josh Bates tonight due to illness, so rider replacement, probably guarantees a win for the Scots Dont think so. On balance Bates has only had one decent meeting from at least 10 visits. Depends who is above him as to where the r/r rides go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Dont think so. On balance Bates has only had one decent meeting from at least 10 visits. Depends who is above him as to where the r/r rides go. I would not take past performances at Glasgow into account, Josh has shown vast improvements this season and is a far better rider. Bjerre, Kurtz and the two reserves can take his rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much depends on Bjerre putting in a shift if Sheffield are to have a chance , he's had the odd stinker here in the past . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
