But back on topic i would have Kerr at 2 and vissing at 3 at home with Vissing at 4 away. With very little between the middle order i guess it won't make a great deal of difference. It's not really slating Claus , it's just pointing out the type of rider he is . Not all can be the consummate team man on track . I remember going to Stoke during Claus' first season in this country and David McAllan got Claused a couple of times . James Grieves had a spat with him at Ashfield one day and called him just a typical Dane when interviewed post meeting . Well I suppose they all learn at the feet of the master in Denmark . But on a 6.8 average there's no doubt he can be trump card if he gets his act together . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble with Vissing, he also goes "Missing" too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Claus has that going missing trait , but he has proved in the past , particularly at Edinburgh , that in the right environment he can consistently produce the goods . Whether that will be the case at Glasgow remains to be seen , but I sincerely hope so . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 sad to read on the Glasgow site that jJmmy Beaton has passed on . any loss in the speedway world is a great loss to all . but i think jimmy will be a greater loss to those who had known him . 91 yrs old , it must be the irn bru !

Condolences to the family,Jimmy was a great character and probably the reason that the Tigers are still in existence ,he saw them through some tough times and probably pumped a lot of money into the club to keep them afloat . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the corners are being taken in to widen the entrances, the straights as a result are widened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owenbros Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Can't understand how Michael Max is not the assistant team manager if one is really needed. He has done it before and he is a promoter at Glagow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess doing the centre green at home meetings and work commitments making away meetings more difficult means him standing in when Stewart is unavailable pretty much impossible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would image that only about half of the area with grey dolomite on will be the track. The trench inside the dolomite is for the drainage and one would image there will be a bit of track on the trackside of the trench. Still pretty wide though.
