  1. Your newsletter. 15 min ago maybe ,at least you a Big Ed have the same hymn sheet .
  2. He is riding in Sweden.Edberg that is!
  3. The only answer can be that all the away riders love coming to Berwick and outgating the Bandits!!
  4. You obviously not reading the posts correctly,I have not seen any post stating that the Berwick track causes poor gating.You are correct if that was the case the away riders are poor gaters too.Imo the first and second bend in any race at Berwick is important because of the limited amount of passing opportunities .
  5. Just to help with the pie sales I reckon.
  6. I tend to agree regarding the outside of the bends in the early heats they appear to be a "no go" area they look very heavy.
  7. Its a difficult one to fathom out.For what it is worth my opinion is at Berwick it is a fairly narrow entrance to the first corners from the start of a race with all 4 riders and unless you get a flyer ( which usually brought back)you sometimes can't keep the throttle on if others riders are along side you like you can do at a lot of others tracks where the bend opens out more on the entrance which makes a good gate an advantage ..There are a lot of 1st bend incidents at Berwick.Imo.So I reckon it is the track shape.
  8. Are Berwick looking for a replacement for Seb or are we going for Guests for him?
  9. They are only doing what they think is right for the Team.I would expect most Teams would do the same if the situation arises,sentiment does not come into it,they have a business to run.
  10. I think with the ludicrous situation with double-up double down, guests ,etc, winning any thing as a Team is hollow.Just hope you see some good speedway is the only reason to attend IMO .
  11. You are quite right my standards are high regarding professionism in riders I pay to watch!The question is will we sign anyone !!!
  12. Please enlighten me? Haven't a clue what you are on about.
  13. He had equipment problems when he came to Bandits,think you will find he lost his main equipment Sponser a couple of years ago .I believe Revolution sponsored him for a number of years with equipment but then they changed to Danny King and Lewis Kerr ( names could be wrong!)maybe he is not investing his own money as much.He certainly isn't performing to his capabilities,whatever the reason.
  14. yes he did, think it was basically a Jawa with his modified cylinder head among other things.
  15. Think if you ask Stancl regarding his engine problems you will find him and his father were always tinkering with them and experimenting with them trying to modify his Jawa.I agree with you he was a decent rider and fast when the bike held up.
  16. If you go through the record books,top men have very few bike problems barring the odd race or the odd meeting.Not weeks on end.
  17. How long does an rider like Barker take to sort out machine issues .Poor excuse for a rider of his expieriance and years in the sport.Lack of professionalism on his part. IMO
  18. Football!! Offside and handball are observations ,not knowing who should be allowed on the pitch might be more comparable and you don't see that in football.Speedway just invents its own problems every season,it never learns!! It's just a pity the the all the refs don't know the rules in what is meant to be a professional sport.
  19. If the rule is quite clear why the the Ref at the Berwick match interpretate it different from the Berwick Team Manager.Ps It would appear the man in charge of the meeting got it wrong then,typical these days. First check would be what Ref is in charge of the meeting though (just in case)!!!!!!!!!!!
