Berwick V Plymouth (2nd July) Pl
Fromafar replied to crescent girl's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
IMO we will be borderline for Top 6 IF clubs complete their fixtures by cut -off date which given the weather this summer might be a struggle .We are a decent team but R/R will give us a hard task to get away points,we provide great matches but getting more than 40 pts with R/R without one of the reserves having a big return will be difficult IMO .A couple of tricky home matches to come as well. -

Berwick V Plymouth (2nd July) Pl
Fromafar replied to crescent girl's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I remember Paul Fry doing it,but was it not done again after the present promotion took over( vaguely remember) could be wrong though.? -
Fine,but the trouble with that thinking is you don't get the benefit of a rider who looked like he could have improved his average which at the end od the day every team is looking for.Jake Allen being another example Somerset took a chance and it looks like paying off. Garcia was also exciting to watch as he gave 100%.

Well done to the Glasgow fans for turn-out ,terrific atmosphere some close racing even if there was not much passing.Well done the Fish when he is in the mood he is some entertainer .Its hard to fathom why Berwick did not retain Garcia after giving him his chance last year ,he did show signs of what it takes.

I am not doubting their lack of trying,but think that makes us vulnerable at home IMO although Danny looks a good signing to compensate it little. -

Cant see us getting anything out of this match,R/R option weakens us quite a bit IMO .No word regarding signing anybody is not good news. -
This one of theproblems you see regarding the second line,how many times did you see the start Marshall tell the rider to move forward to the line only for the rider to move back when the Marshall moves away that's where the Ref should get involved IMO .Warn the riders or throw them out.They will soon learn to stay still.

It's time this anticipating the start lark was put to bed,if a rider doesn't touch the tapes let it go if he does take the "chance"and touches the the tapes he is excluded.That was a joke last night and at most meetings it doesn't matter because for all the re-runs there is usually another couple that could have been " brought back" that weren't .

He has just won the National Championship on the track that the Final is being held ,he surely has to be picked!!ro be honest it won't matter who they pick regarding winning though.

the bend itself is not square,but the exit is narrow which means the cut back has to be really good to come up the inside ,as you can see any decent moves are usually round the outside.The football pitch is main obstacle because a couple of metres of entrance and exits would make a huge difference to the quality of the racing ,unfortunately it will never happen.To compound the matter as Chris Louis alluded too that Theo said the track is being prepared slick in the last few weeks because that's what the riders like ,and it is a gating contest.On the bright side was impressed with Dany Gappmeir looks good for a 5 pt reserve.Ps If you think 3/4 bend at Berwick is square wait till you see the entrance to the 3/4 bend at Glasgow!!

Fromafar replied to damosuzuki's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
While I am not questioning that you had rain in the afternoon,the forecast I looked at said there would be no rain after 6pm which was correct.It is a damned if you do and damned if you don't nowadays,but fans will will not take a chance these days because of these decisions. yr.no is the site I use which is Norwegian but seems to be more accurate than BBC and other British sites.Its no good Promoters moaning about low attendances when they make erratic decisions when to call matches off. -
Agree,but for someone at his level he has more trouble than most.
