No point in us turning up by the sounds of it, the self entitled mob have wrote us off.

I very much doubt there is many writing you off and I am certain Harris and Brennan will get alot more points tomorrow on a track that suits them.Apparently the track at Peterborough tonight wasnt great and would not have suited them.

Did seem that way for the second leg of the 1991 KO Cup Final down at Arena Essex complete with Bo Petersen, Brian Karger, etc, when Tigers drew overall on aggregate and forced a replay and restaging of both legs again.  And of course wouldn't be a replay now, it would be a deciding superheat.

Some team Arena had that season It was just the start of our dominant couple of years the following season.

Correct.  1991 finished second in the league.  Lyons was sold/transferred to Belle Vue soon after that for the 1992 season.  But still had Bowes and Mick Powell who were also on the way up, it would be Super Steve's last season in 1992, but then had Nagy who would be 1992 divisional rider's champion, as well as Neil Collins, 1992 finished 3rd in the league.  And then of course Tigers were league champions and ko cup winners in both 1993 and 1994 seasons when the league was decided as it should be - by finishing top of the league.

Ace is only interested in ace pijper I see he's fell again zero interest in tigers winning title trophy he clearly can't see himself race  ...I've clearly said before the boy isn't good enough for championship level & I stand by that , tigers are weak & vulnerable with the lad & much stronger with other riders I could name j Smith s hagon etc  but he will race on regardless he's came back way too soon he should have left it & returned next season try again but no its all about him anybody who wants the club to win can clearly see he needed to stand down, he's also dangerous to others riders on the track & if anything happens some of us can see it was coming , all this sounds very harsh but I don't know the boy so how could it be personal it's not its what I see with my eyes & it's an opinion ..ps tigers don't want the 2nd leg at home they want to race at home first anybody who thinks tigers are wanting the weather to play a part in that are barking up the wrong tree due to crowd attendance at ashfield get pumped away & home tie is affected ...

You don't need to know him for it to be personal. :mad:

Nice to see the Glasgow fans getting right behind their riders and supporting them all the way. 

Please remove the ‘s’ from fans……….you are continually tarring us all with the same brush after posts that you KNOW for sure the majority of us don’t agree with.

Ace is young. Sometimes he panics and overlocks. Hopefully he grows out of it, but it’s part of the growing pains. He can be very fast. Easier to coach a fast rider to stop crashing than to coach a slow rider to be fast.

I wish he had grown a little more over the year, but he’s still got a higher average in meetings this year than Ablitt, Hagon and Killeen, none of whom get the stick Ace does. He was always expected to be firmly at number 7. He was never going to get any higher.

The bigger question for Ace is probably why his National League form hasn’t been better.

See the ahem (prat & wally) on here who don't get this is a forum for opinions & points of view feel free not to come on here then...I don't call them names I could its very easy to hide & be a keyboard warrior ?.. i comment on the speedway & if I think a rider isn't good enough or is dangerous to others ,gonna cost my team a chance of title I will put that point across its allowed  ...no points made here then no forum surely its not just for cheerleading you can do that with pom poms at any speedway stadium...if you don't agree it's fine but see if you wouldn't say anything to my face don't txt it on here & run away ...as for ace rode his socks of at Workington that is nowhere near the level required to beat Poole...he has clearly been struggling for glasgow Workington has got nothing to do with it ..he's fell again tonight fact which is something he is regularly doing that was my point ..I think in a few yrs he might be ok but he's struggling badly now thats my point & I stand by it ..

Like yourself Dr Shovlar, every team has that special fan. As long as if he's struggling Cammy pulls him from his 4th ride and use Lee in the right heats then what more can we ask.

How's Roynons injury coming along?

Personally I don't think that should be allowed, yes they get priority in chose the second leg at home, but that shouldn't mean postponing the match just to keep the second leg?

We have the second leg, like it or lump it.  Its in Glagows court to re arrage.

I'll have to disagree, while Poole want & deserve the choice of having the second leg at home, that shouldn't allow them to postpone matches. What if Glasgow couldn't re-arrange till the Friday & Poole call off the Wednesday match (in perfect weather) but the following Wednesday, when they plan to re-arrange it, gets postponed & it gets put back another week, you could end up with the KOC being abandoned, because Poole were so adamant to get the second leg at home? 

Apart from that, what about any Glasgow fans who could possibly have booked time off work, hired mini-buses, paid for hotels, all for nothing - just because Poole want the season leg? Obviously there's a risk of rain when you make these expenditures, but seems rediciulous that they could postpone a match, which could cause many problems, just to get the second leg at home.

Roynon still struggling with it and was replaced by Joe T so not part of the team anymore. Cammy forgot to take him out of his last ride against Oxford but got away with it when he fell and was unable to take his place in the re-run.

Good luck to all riders and travelling fans in getting to flooded west Scotland today. Especially brave ? Poole fans making the journey. 
 

Stay safe.

 

Let's hope they all allow more time for their journey. Trains between London and Glasgow were only going as far as Preston yesterday. Numerous local suburban stations were flooded .
