Rickardsson rode at Berrington and was beaten by Kevin Little !! If I remember correctly.( for Ipswich)

You will have to add Sam Ermalenko and Jason Crump to your list that would make 12 what I don t understand is ,would you not have to have see video

Do what?,boost the attendance ,probably not.

Open day this Sunday 10-4,

Len is good at that ,his reply in the letters page of SS to a fan about the state of the Kent track was nothing short of downright arrogance ,belittling the fans opinion.

Thats is certainly one thing that has dogged the present Promotion since they took over,they have have no luck at all with riders getting injured ,they have my sympathy on that front.

Glad there's such a good feeling about the place,all we need now is a crowd to match.

I assume you will inform the fans of the Workington line - up when known.

Not in latest version just Berwick line up.

Poor publicity when you cannot name the riders of the opposition team.Still I'm sure some riders will turn up

This will boil down to reserves and we have more reserves than Edinburgh.!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you ,car sport and bike sport have introduced mechanical measures to try and reduce speeds on circuits(of course tuners then work to get round these changes) and it has made the bikes safer to ride at high speeds,speedway has done nothing except introduce silencers with judging by riders comments make the bikes very unpredictable to ride.Something has to be done IMO .

What about the guy who helped them with their website.!

I have no problem with Ben going elsewhere for the reasons given,but I find it hard to fathom his interview on centre green, why he just didn't explain the possibility of him to another club if he felt fit enough.I can't believe that either him or the Berwick management had no idea this was possibility .A lot of fans will feel let down by the way it was conducted.

They don't really get a lot of track at Berwick,they have honed their skills elsewhere IMO

I think here llies the problem,other bike sports and car sports have improved safety measures AND technical specifications to try and reduce speed of their sport to try and stop accidents and in the main has been successful.Speedway has done nothing regarding the technical side of the sport and the bikes are now lethal weapons in conditions that have barely changed in 50 years (less dirt being the only thing).Things have to be looked at ,there is hardly a meeting now that fans are not standing about waiting for an ambulance to arrive.

Thought it was a good article.

Agree,Stadium and land is really an investment for them in the future.They seem to be doing the right things though.The sport itself is the problem.

If you take into account their investment in the facilities they will make a loss ,but if you take into account just the speedway side of things their crowd levels and wages paid they probably won't lose money IMO .Crowd have been decent from what I have been told and their catering and alcohol sales will have brought in a much bigger income.

Dont really think that is the point though.The other Poster was making the point of Official information ,the Club are always telling the fans not to listen to "forum fannies"and wait for Official Statements.There was no link to a Facebook Quote on here.

The only informationI see on here regarding Teams is your Post where you said you are guessing!!

Barker was a free agent as far as I an concerned,BUTwhat do you make of his centre green interview last Sat.

Its obvious that an Independant Body needs to be set up to run the sport.but we all know that's not going to happen

No,only the good ones are published.!!! If any rider though the track was "dangerous "they need to consider what to do to make money.If it was difficult they need to adapt to suit conditions ,the throttle works both ways and set -ups can be altered to suit conditions quite readily by decent riders.How can riders win races in the fastest times recorded this season and say the track is crap.the sport is becoming a joke.

Cook saying this weeks SS that his Ash-Tech tuned engine is awesome when "there is a bit of dirt on the track"which is strange giving his moaning about Berwick after breaking track record,which had that bit of dirt on it.
