Scunthorpe is worth a visit if you ever want to see the sport again. -

He did, but obviously had a change of mind. -
If I was nearer I would still go to Scunthorpe every week the racing is brilliant, win or lose you will be entertained.

It is a "wait and see job" but at least we have speedway. -

You have to give the other 6 a chance before you start writing them off though ,it's ridiculous trying to reshape the team to accommodate another a reserve.Interesting to see how many of these 2 point reserves live up to the hype ,it will just be case of beating riders the have already race in NL in a lot of cases in a weakened league.Claus is very good round Berwick and will ride to his average and is a good signing IMO . -

He has retired! Your getting very excited about swapping one 2pt man for another.Dont think that will change or league position!!!! Our Team doesn't look THAT BAD. -

He must have had a change of mind as he announced his retirement at the last Buxton meeting at the end of last season.! -
Championship Teams Comparison Time
Fromafar replied to balderdash&piffle's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Berwick will have to see what Bridger produces ,if he rides like a no1 will do ok IMO .These 2pt superstar reserves that everybody is talking about wont find it easy in this league. -
Championship Teams Comparison Time

I will go with that theory,and Berwick will be top of the League.(Alphabetical order) -
More chance of Pjiper or Weathers than him IMO
-
Cant see them touching Palovaara!

Dont think the Championship is a side show when I look at the Premiership.! In name only IMO . -

AskTerry Linden,I'm sure some riders didn't get paid what they were promised,but more importantly don't think the crowds at Berrington were covering the cost of running in the higher league.The trouble with speedway is Promotions don't like to divulged running costs ,they only tell fans when they lose money .As the leagues stand at the moment any Team in the Champoinship would have to think twice regarding Promotion with all the local derbies that would be lost.Unless of course they get a massive financial incentive to move up,but we will never know that answer.Rye House looks a good example,who is covering the cost of that Team this season,will the Promotion make a profit or are the willing to take the hit if things turn out loss making.Dont think Kelvin and Jimmy would be cheap in that Berrington Era .The racing was great though while it lasted. -
It will soon be a circus of 14 riders riding at different venues every night of the week masquerading as different clubs.

Good post,Although if we are lowering the standard we should be promoting more riders from NL if 2nd strings and reserves are of similiar standards it should produce decent racing,which fans want.British speedway just can't afford the top guys in the numbers to make it competive throughout the league.Also they are not really interested in the diversity of British tracks with are more technical regarding set ups and better bike skills. -
Have to agree it a complete joke.Cant believe that's a solution to speedways problems.It should have been teams of your own 7 riders as a priority.4 men /4laps is all it is,whether that will have new fans flocking in who knows.
-
At least the Promotion/ Relegation play offs won't be a forgone conclusion.The big question now is how much are we expected to pay to watch this product.That Rye house Team looks expensive does it not.

Nathen Greaves ,has he improved much in the last couple of seasons,his average says he hasn't ,wouldn't have him.

Should have had one big league IMO.This doubling up and down nonsense makes it all a bit of a farce .
