I'd imagine disappointed not to get heat 15. Also boy was a wrong about Anders Rowe. Top effort from him Tom has gone up a level .Flint has stalled over the last 2 seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The racing was up there and more, Cook against Bomber was the pinnacle Poole probably just deserved it in the end but giving Pearson 5 rides when he could have had 7 was mind blowing. Poole are a very good team and well done to them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 43 minutes ago, Jaizer said: Closer than expected and a helluva meeting passing in most heats, great nights entertainment. The changes are a joke in all honesty. Be better getting ivacic to do a covatti/ musielak and use guest, even 75% be better! A decent meeting that we didnt deserve to win IMO. We had a fragility about us all night, too many points dropped when in scoring positions. Poole, like Edinburgh worked out there is a profitable inside line off turn four if you are prepared to go there, and we got rumbled several times. Well done to Poole. Ivacic looks a real find, of the wrong sort that is. Its only his second meeting but as well as being not very quick seems to often be in no mans land and vulnerable on the inside and outside. I keep reminding myself he's in for Starke but its not working. I wonder if Anders was auditioning tonight either for Steve W potentially not returning or next season. He put in a decent shift. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No shame in that the league needs those guys. I think his post race interview Monday night at Birmingham was bit concerning. He shut off to re focus himself as after a bit of tough racing.

Ivacic seems to be a gamble that looks like not paying off unfortunately but we had to try something. But it looks like Ivacic and Garrad have actually made things worse.

Definitely did, we couldn't continue on as before. Its about this time of year that promoters start to think about/discuss the set up for the following year, whatever will they come up with this time, a 35 point limit, even fewer meetings than this year, a multiplier of 2 for Premier riders dropping to CL teams? God forbid they carry out any form of market research to find out what their customers want or just as important, don't want. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on the lowering off the points limit to 38 was diluting the product unnecessarily and has made team building a challenge at best. You would like to think with only Glasgow and Poole against this the rest will hopefully see sense at the next AGM. Won’t they ?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to 'First Bend' videos? They used to film all the meetings and sell the DVDs. And what was that drone all about?? They sent it up into the sky and then it vanished never to be seen again. The social media side of the promotion is pretty poor as well which is highlighted by the Tigers website which is often neglected by whoever is meant to be running it.
