Mark Lemon might make a trip to Dover....

Let’s not panic Lemon is in sole charge of bv now so what could possibly go wrong?

Hope that didn't stop you enjoying the gig!!

slow going at the moment as the dinghy divers are getting pounded by the weather

Could be the year Berwick surprise. If Ty performs it could mean playoffs.

I have not seen much of the Winter Olympics but I have no problem at all with Nigel Pearson and Kelvin Tatum…at least they sound enthusiastic and try and promote racing to a casual viewer….and producers want enthusiasm in commentary now, times have changed from old style commentary so if you don’t follow then you are replaced.

Bet u didnt get a word in

Lemon and sole,sounds fishy too me.

I'm all for enthusiasm and generally don't mind Pearson myself but I understand why people don't like him, he is at times too shouty and loud. There are others out there I prefer to listen to and would be quite happy to see replace NP if the need ever arose. There was a guy in the 90s and 00s who did the videos from Coventry and Peterborough, he was a very fast commentator, almost horse racing style, I really liked him. Always made races sound exciting even if they weren't As for Tatum though, I would never get rid of him. His knowledge and experience as a former rider makes him very good at what he does IMO.

Codswallop.

I thought Steve Cram and Rhona were brilliant with the curling commentary knowing and explaining what shots were on to not on, and why. Once again Curling, after a major completion, will be the talk of people who never go to the rinks to watch it. Fascinating sport, played in a good and fair competitive sport, where the tactics and their execution are unbelievable. Pity there is no rinks beside me where it is played.

How come he rode for them last season.

…but he will no doubt flounder as usual…

The next edition of the new PirateCast Live programme is scheduled for 8pm on Thursday 3rd March when a Pirates legend will be joining the 2 boys - and its LIVE...!! (or you can catch it afterwards on You Tube on your TV, Tablet or Smartphone).

Poole can't use Ablitt at reserve 'cos they've lent him to Panthers for the night!! Its 'only' a Challenge meeting for Bjarne's benefit so anything can be agreed between the 2 clubs.

if you go back to bagpuss post thats how the teams are for bjarne meeting

i just assumed the two lowest average riders would have to be at reserve ray

Just imagine how exciting the sport would be to watch if the late Dan Maskell or the late John Arlott had been doing the commentary. Sales of sleeping pills would have plummeted.

They get points money and travel expenses. Neither of which make the racing profitable in any way especially with the current prices of diesel. Some riders I have been involved with this has been £10 a point and 10p a mile.

It is only quite a pretty recent (ish) thing for clubs to name their teams pre Xmas... Many a year has been spent going into press and practice days with line ups getting confirmed not too many days before.. Whatever team they end up with, the racing will be very good I am sure..

Marmande - 54: 1. Dimitri Berge - 14+1 (2,3,1*,3,3,2) 2. Kenneth Hansen - 5 (0,1,1,1,1,1) 3. Troy Batchelor - 11+3 (2*,0,3,3,2*,1*) 4. Mathieu Tresarrieu - 16 (3,3,2,3,2,3) 5.

Jan Kvech - 7 (0,0,3,2,2,0) 5. Mathias Tresarrieu - 6 (3,w,0,3) 6. Tino Bouin - 0 (0,0,0)

Yeah, but that's not why football was better back then. It's the quality of the footage and extra camera angles that makes watching modern sport (particularly speedway) so wonderful. The reason football was better back then is because it was played by men. No playing for penalties, diving, playing balls back to the keeper, reluctance to attack and take on defenders, and general niggly crap... I watch old matches on YouTube regularly.

Pretty even between the top 5s but the reserves of Peterborough will demolish the Poole reserves not that it matters I just hope a great servant gets a brilliant send off.

Currently only available on the links above but we are looking into new platforms.

Unfortunately not, if you discover one, please market the product!

i thought the curling was good . never before have i been so interested in a minority sport . crowd looked bigger than a normal speedway meeting in the uk ! if you dont like the comms , turn on your mute button . long live curling and other minority sports

Star is giving Berwick good coverage of late. All we need now is the seasonal review.

I am confident he will do a good job for us

Poultec is a very successful company that primarily deals with training and apprenticeships, so the idea was to give the young riders all about running their business, accounts etc, as well as diet and fitness, and they have a well equipped workshop for learning about the mechanical side of things including making their own parts. https://www.flickr.com/photos/the_womble/albums/72157657413955128

Kye Thomson (Monarch doubling down) is rumoured to be one rider , with contractual issues awaiting clarification to allow Dan Bewley to also ride - just rumours you understand..............

They are 4th and 5th in the averages so can't see that happening
