cheggie Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 As the Glasgow TM has said, there is three cup finals left, starting tonight against tough opponents... Teams taken from Bears website. 1 Chris Harris (c) 8.79 2 Jack Smith 5.24 3 Anders Rowe 7.34 4 Matic Ivacic 6.00 5 Leon Flint 6.87 6 James Pearson 5.02 7 Tom Spencer (G) 2.00 1 – Charles Wright (C) 8.54 2 – Rider Replacement for Dan Gilkes 5.35 3 – Danyon Hume (G) 5.10 4 – Jason Edwards 6.00 5 – Danny King 7.66 6 – Ben Trigger 2.95 7 – Jake Mulford 4.10 It should be perfect conditions tonight and no doubt be some cracking racing, so get your backside trackside.

ragdoll64 Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 Redcar have a ten point lead for the bonus point and they have been less than that amount adrift in most of their away meetings this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharpenRake Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 This is too close to call. If Glasgow are to win and take the bonus point it needs Matic to ride like he did in heats 3 and 9 against Edinburgh. If he rides like he did in heat 14 we have no chance of winning never mind taking the bonus point. Also depends on which Danyon turns up - he could be a match winner for the Bears. Whatever happens it should be a brilliant night of speedway AND its dry! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseq7 Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 Is Ivacic the worst value for points signing ever for the Tigers? 🫣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 So tiggers could still get 6 points, but got to beat Oxford and score over 56 points to get bonus, but when is the cut off date, and has this fixture been arranged yet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever happens it should be a brilliant night of speedway AND its dry! Danyon rode well, Matic didn't yet we still managed to win. And it was a brilliant night of speedway, credit to both teams and the track staff. It even stayed dry. Gotta try and keep Bomber, Leon, Anders and James for next season and it would be nice to also reward Jack with a place. All will depend on the points limit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 The meeting warmed up nicely in the second half however looking down the racecard beforehand its nigh on impossible to see where we can get heat advantages with Ivacic, Spencer and Smith. Even a couple more points from Ivacic would make the difference. I'm not sure if he's not got it or not interested but gives in far too easily. Flint hit his high water mark for the Tigers but its not enough to keep him onboard for 2025 unless the points limit remains ridiculously low.

Last night was Ivacic's sixth meeting and he'll have a average of less than 4.00 so would expect him to be reserve for our meeting at Armadale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beirao Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 I wondered about him remaining on 6.00 but didn't Birminghams Poles, also assessed as 6.00, get "real" averages after six meetings? 1 hour ago, cheggie said: His average increases a little from tomorrow, to 5.08 and it's Jack that drops back down to reserve on 4.25....

That will be a disaster, how can someone so good on the continent look like a novice here, he backs off in first bend if anyone is near him, and if he gates, rides all the wrong lines and gets passed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
