with regards cami brow , his go @ the starting marshalls was pure class . but it should have been left in the circus ring . cant see him being @ Glasgow next year .. unless HE pays to do the job .thats how i see it . 

As one of Glasgow's main sponsors through his Plumbing Merchants anything is possible. But if he does return I can't see Glasgow being flushed with success and and hope will go straight down the pan.

Regarding the comets fixture pile up, how about this, comets were the 1st to qualify for the shield then had to wait to see who it is against, the comets were the 1st to qualify for the KO cup and had to wait to see who we were against, and finally the comets are the 1st to qualify for the playoffs and we are still waiting to see who we ride against,                Who are in the wrong now :)

ps what happens if the weekend of the 27 + 28th and the following few days are wet ??

Double Double header, or a Double Double Double header, or how about a Speedway-athon, Bring your sleeping-bag and we will start at 8 in the morning and just keep going until it finishes even if that's 8 the following morning. Yeah!!!!

Are you forgetting that's pretty much the same way that Stewart Dickson ended up in charge? His business was a strong backer of the Tigers, he then joined as promoter and in turn ended up team manager! 

 

A fan/sponsor with no experience as a team manager - seemed to work ok for Stewart but a lot of people have a bit of a chip on their shoulder about the same thing happening with Cami.

Not quite true as Stewart and Alan Dick bought the Tigers from Brian Sands in 2001

Glasgow made some serious errors this year but appointing him as manager has to be the biggest mistake in the history of the club.

Beginning to think your first name is Stewart. Would like to see the list off serious errors

There is no way I'll defend Bumber but was the main reason for Rye's closure not the enforced change of race night which really affected the crowds numbers coming through the gates?

Your right the race nights were a disaster for Rye House but the atmosphere was not the same right from the start this year and its wasnt just Harris not putting in a fair shift.

A bit off topic but....

Comets face Lakeside in a double header on Saturday and it still leaves two other finals they have to ride for. Whats the situation and the potential facility on offer to Workington, should time run out and they are unavailable, due to having to go home and try to qualify for another season back in British Speedway 2019. (Please don't say NL guest, as that will make an absolute mockery to British Speedway)...

The season officially end and the end of October so why would they go home before then.If the fixture are not completed by the they should be scrapped for this season.There is probably a week to spare before the Aussies go surely.Its just a shambles .

I was never particularly a fan of Stewart Dickson when he 'took' the job as I, like numerous others, thought the way Ian Steel was treated was abysmal.
But in fairness to Stewart he did learn from those with more experience around him not just about tactics and rules and regulations but also about getting the track right, the truth in that borne out by the fact he has helped so many other teams this year.

Honestly

I haven't got a clue why but for what ever reason the Aussie championships have been brought forward a full month, someone may be able to enlighten us as to why this has happened this year but it hasn't done Worky any favours at all

There should be a mandate for all clubs to finish there league season by the end of august leaving all of September  for play offs and any cup action when normally you would expect the weather to be a little more helpful and October should only be used as an emergency fall back period it makes sense to try and draw fans in with prospects of warmer weather and daylight travelling. Yes you are correct it is a shambles but when have the BSPA done anything to improve the sport regarding fixtures which after accepting they then want to get them cancelled because it suits there individual needs as opposed to doing what is right and proper thing to do
