  1. Just content that he might make a gate in his next race then!?
  2. I'm sure they would not be as gullible to depart with £15 for that kind of entertainment.Surprised by the number of riders that just gave when in the rear last night.
  3. Think a lot of riders(home and away) seem to give up the the chase after a couple of laps as a lost cause due to speed and slick track nowadays.Riders win by length of strait then same rider gets beat by length of straight( race time same).Explain that to a newcomer.
  4. The one thing Berwick is NOT is a dump.Its one of the best stadiums in the league.The track might not be the best but there was not one rider fell tonight so you are obviously talking through your A#se.
  5. Good win fo Bandits,but I'm sure there will be some disapointed Monarchs fans with that performance from the Team.I do accept its gate and go a lot at Berwick but they should know that by now.Its all about averages but I don't see what Monarchs see in Clegg.
  6. I also hoping Laura sticks with it,but she must be really p#ssed off how this season has went.
  7. You can see this being the final nail in Workington coffin IMO .Sadly.Unless someone else steps in.
  8. Think Berwick should be advanced to Play -offs because they have Track covers.
  9. Just too farcical what's happened to speedway in general,there will be other Promotions rubbing their hands with this situation ,which sad reflection on the sport.
  10. They might have to alter the start time of meetings to coincide with low tide!!!
  11. Poole have ridden there for at least 50 yrs and now the tide has become an issue this season.Where has the tide been all these years ? Track preparation might be the cause of the trouble IMO .
  12. IT is a good point the most clubs now are run by speedway fans rather than business men and they have submitted to riders demands rather than the income coming through the gate and are now relying on Fans Trust ect.to keep their head above water. I praise the Glasgow business men for putting their money into the sport though,although you can see the investment in the land keeps their investment in there own control should the Speedway venture go wrong.
  13. Promotions shouldn't touch him with a barge pole given his history.
  14. 10 heat matches are becoming the norm these days.Between lack of medical cover and a shower of rain.
  15. Have to agree with your last few Posts.It does appear the riders with their demands regarding tracks and wages are dictating the sport as oppose the the people running it.It is meant to be sport first and foremost.Most people realise the catch 22 situation but will it change now or is it too far into the mire.Its obvious regarding entertainment value it getting beyond prices that fans are having to pay regarding family entertainment( more than 1 member attending regular)which the sport has relied on as its basic package.
  16. If the riders donate £1/point of their earnings / meeting that should raise a £'s.
  17. Agree,but own interests come first in Speedway,in the best interests of the Sport of course.!
  18. Monarchs have added Worrell since last meetings,2 wins for Monarchs if Andersson does anything from reserve at Shielfield IMO .
  19. Berwick are bringing their covers with them
  20. Redcar on paper good team ,on track! Will give Sheffield a hard time if they turn up afew track specialists .
