Sheffield v Redcar SGBCL 09/08/2018 @ 19.30


Recommended Posts

That did not surprise me at all. The Bears we well up for it, we never looked like we could win the meeting,out gated out fought. When did the Tigers last lose three meeting at home, I can't remember. Something's not right. Earlier in the season we were OK at home so what's changed. We have two home meetings left, Newcastle and Edinburgh its to be hope we can win those two meeting, but if we ride like we have tonight no chance.utt.

Was there anyone in the panorama bar last night after the Sheffield meeting that witnessed Paul Bates sack me last night?

is this true? if it is it is a disgrace.obviously don't know the ins and outs but if true then why make lasse the scapegoat?

No statement yet from the tigers, Bjerre tweeted it this morning asking if anyone saw Paul Bates sack him in the bar last night. Very strange. Utt

 

witnesses including nike lunna have replied to lasses tweet but one of them says that lasse isn't telling the whole picture.this is bizarre.

If true that will leave us well short then tonight? Another hammering on the way then ?  Last night was another poor show it feels to as though we've lost harmony in the camp.I wondered how this season would pan out without a proper number one. Kyle is a good rider but not quite a number one in my eyes.When josh was here last season and needed to win big races you could rely on him but Kyle seems a little inconsistent .kyle makes an ideal 2 ND heat leader and was awesome when paired with josh in the big heats Lasse and Charles are quite similar. I find it unbelievable as to how poor we've become in the last few weeks. The inconsistency of every rider all at once is incredible,I think it will have give our promoters plenty to think about for next seasons team.Hope we are not rained off tonight and tomorrow I think the sooner the season is over the better ,apart from winning the pairs it's been a crap stop start season.Perhaps the bspa could regionalise the leagu next season and just have 5 at home and 5 away and save some more money ??????????

Getting rid of Jan was a bad move in my opinion. Sure he won't be hitting the double figures but as seen last season if you give him a place and let him stay there then he can come good as a hard-hitting reserve or even a number 2 which could also move Kurtz into a number 4 role where he should be (imo)

If Lasse Bjerre has been replaced on the cut-off weekend, it means he won't be allowed to sign up elsewhere.

This is the flaw in the cut-off system.  Sedgy, Batchelor and Holder were stranded last season -- any rider dumped this weekend will be in the same situation.

So if Bjerre doesn't turn up tonight does he get banned for withholding his services?

Won’t matter anyway, he’s got nowt to lose as he’s been sacked anyway, and if Sheffield have not got a replacement lined up, then Lasse could drop them right in the preverbial !

I’ve had the misfortune to witness some dross in my time following the Tigers, but this feels a bit different. Back in the 90’s we just had poor teams and you kind of accepted that for what it was. This year we haven’t got a poor team by any stretch, but we seem to have suffered a collective loss of form and confidence right across the board, all at the same time. I’ve never seen anything like it - getting left at the starts 90% of the time, and then on the few occasions when we do make a start, we seem to be getting passed way too easily. I don’t have any answers or conspiracy theories to share, just a feeling of bewilderment. Maybe the management and riders can work it out over the final few weeks. Good job it’s a pathetically short season so hopefully we can start again next year.
