Another grumble the sound system at Berwick needs sorting out, I was stood at the end of the stand just before the 3rd bend and got a mixture of speaker from the stand and the speakers on the centre green, but seemed a second or 2 delay between them it was all of a mumble, maybe a good job as I couldn't here Greg properly 😜. And yes yesterday the sound at worky was a bit loud but at least you could here it

Whilst I empathise, I don't understand how he can absolve the SCB and ACU from any 'blame' and then blame it solely on the BSPL?

Personally im happy to have a better level of rider on show and to act as a benchmark for aspiring riders. The dilution of the NL over the previous few years has led to riders being forced up into the CL without any confidence building meetings and also riders signed into the CL who are far from ready. Id rather see competent riders showing the way than hopeful riders.

Blair is Marmite Character.IMO

Well it's a must win match for the Pirates, but no pressure to get the bonus. Should be a competitive meeting, can't wait.

I would be very surprised if anybody has ridden the track as yet ,si.ply because the steel posts aren't covered , I would imagine they will need a similar arrangement as mildenhall ,with a foam hat over them before anyone is allowed to ride the track

Anybody else struggling to get that image of out their head? No....just me

Blair didn’t supply the footage, or do anything like that from what I understand. The footage was sent to the box, presumably to the announcer, or the commentators or someone. Not via Blair, but for what it’s worth I don’t really like him, bring back Dick Barrie.

Should be banned then or will the old 'suffered a reaction' line be used - if it's still a valid excuse?

Morris was pretty poor at worky yesterday

Don't forget Blair as he is supposed to be an impartial announcer, not running up to the referee with 3rd party footage, as an ex rider ( but not a very good one 😜 ) he should just let the referee make a decision good or bad and not get involved

Sunday 26th April: Workington Meteors 12 (Anika Loftus 4+2, Laylen Richardson 5+1, Georgie Climo 2, Lewis Hague 1) Berwick Bandits Academy 23 (Mark Parker 9, Rocco Webb N/S, Fraser Buckle 8+1, Callum Hague 6+1)

So if Mudgway wants to come back to the sport, where is he supposed to ride? He hardly looked like a heat leader yesterday, but he's bound to get better. Hence the word 'development' that some people don't seem to understand.

Lidsey Klindt Batchelor and Lawson job done

Great result for the tigers

While this is a very different situation to Museilak and Cook (National Championship, no Polish club involved, he'd be getting banned from two British clubs and not one) the bottom line is that IF he doesnt ride tonight that's three consecutive seasons where a Lynn rider has ridden abroad but not here and risked/got a ban. Not a good look at all. If it happens that's an awful lot of meetings and income he will miss in the UK over a 28 day period though. I suspect @szkocjasid is correct, he'll have aggravated it in Italy yesterday.

Simple. Just get four white-line hugging gating tarts. Any suggestions?

Wish Reid a speedy recovery sounds nasty could be out a while.Typical Bandits luck find a decent prospect and injury strikes again.

Exacerbated

Totally agree, if he was fit to ride abroad, can't then be unfit to ride in GB. Mind you I'm sure it's happened before that a rider got through their comeback match but (can't think of the word I'm looking for) "exacubated" their injury when riding. *Minds gone completely blank, trying to think of the word when you're not completely fit & make it worse by riding.

Nick Morris Its now Jason Edwards

That would be a terrible decision. Klima for Castagna & a heat leader for Kvech would make more sense. If Klima is a 4.00 in the Prem, you have 7.19 available to replace Kvech, if he was a 3.00 (8.19), or 3.50 (7.69) not sure how assessed averages work. I'm not saying Lynn should replace Kvech (or Castagna), just pointing out the absurdity of replacing Kvech with Klima.

Totally agree with this, I've seen riders get absolutely clattered & stay on, so nothing is done. Get barely brushed & slide off, so opposition gets excluded. Haven't seen the Cook & Battye incident, so can't comment on if I agree with decision, but surely a ref shouldn't announce a decision & then afterwards watch a replay to change his mind, especially an unofficial one.
