Paulco Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Glasgow Tigers 1 Mr Maximum 2 Sarj 3 Rasmus 4 Starky 5 Claus 6 Luke 7 Kyle Sheffield 1 Danny King 2 Kasper Andersen 3 Ty Proctor 4 Drew Kemp 5 Kyle Howarth 6 Broc Nicol 7 Zaine Kennedy Afternoon sports fans , season starts properly tonight with the other Tigers up here for a cup tie . Unusually for a day when Sheffield are up , it's not raining . It's fair to say that despite being pre season favourites , the lesser Tigers from Yorkshire have slightly underperformed so far . But the pre season stuff is all but over and this it when it really matters . Looking for Mr Maximum to miss the gate a few times tonight again , so we can enjoy him pouncing on an opponent faster than Joe Lawler's finger on a hotel fire alarm button , but there are a few in the lesser Tiger's septets who won't make it easy for him . But an intriguing and hopefully exciting two meetings will be enjoyed by fans of both Tigers and may the best big cats win . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted May 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Aye I was being smart and just altering last weeks thread and i forgot to change Luke's name. Yes it is Leon Flint , speedway's wonderful rules allows us to strengthen in the period we try to sign a replacement . I would imagine young master Flint will be used as often as his Berwick commitments allow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Mouse Sport. So what would you propose. A 10 point man quits/withholds his services he can be replaced by a guest up to 10 points average. A 2 point man quits he can be replaced by a rider with the same average. In both cases the team is given 28 days to find a replacement. what is wrong with that rule.

I’m not proposing anything ,try asking your friends that no longer attend and get their opinion.There are plenty 2 pt men out there.Who wants to see guests every week.It only 1/2 a season these days and there are guests everywhere.I for one am totally fed up with the way the sport is going.A lot of Teams are suffering falling attendances.I don’t think things are going to improve.

Getting a 2 pointer to travel this far North is as big a problem as getting one that is capable , this was probably the main reason Chessell decided to stand down. The governing body made this mess with the points limit and it is the Clubs that need to bear the brunt of there decision. I have said this before but offering team places to 2 point novices based on there average as it fits as the only criteria is a ludicrous position for some clubs to be in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Our league has been sacrificed to make the big league look better. In reality most of this years Premier teams would have been Championship teams last season. The legacy of that is a ridiculously low points limit and the return of 2 pointers. This was largely a disaster in previous years with the odd exception. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my point,they haven’t a clue and still expect the fans just to turn up as usual,well it’s not happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 if its a 2 point rider or a 5/6 point rider , they still get expenses for travel . the way you team was built to get craig in, you cannot expect anything other than a weak bottom end ! and hope n pray the rest have a decent season . bring back lawlor . have you got your guest booked for cookie while he is @ the nations ?

I loved Ipswich racing in the lower league but it’s foolish to say that Premier teams are the same level as championship teams Ipswich largely expected to be cannon fodder this season have 3 championship number ones as heat leaders in Harris , Lawson and King. At reserve we have 2 championship heat leaders The current Ipswich 1-7 would win easily against a championship side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
