  1. Sorry I asked!Ps. I wasn't being pedantic I was asking a genuine question,You didn't answer my question but instead edited your post which is a typical thing you do when it suits.You ask for comments then take the hump!
  2. It's you good self that composes the Berwick Newsletter then?
  3. You are probably correct,but trying to tell everybody about their success story is this situation is in poor taste IMO
  4. Agree total arrogance (not one mention about refunds whether entitled or not).fans just expected to forget about as it was just a blip in a otherwise perfect sport,Aye Right.!!!!!!
  5. Looked like Chris Harris guesting for Belle Vue off Gate 4 in one scene.Bit slow to react!!!!
  6. Most riders negotiate Signing on fee to cover some mechanical and transport costs I would imagine.I agree it is a"catch 22 "situation .Any money from supporters clubs should just be a bonus.A lot of riders have a knack of pleading poverty though.
  7. My concern is do the riders have the equipment and back -up to support themselves when taking all these guest bookings ,these extra bookings could be taking their toll on the equipment ,then our fans will be asked for the collections.Only last season we had a rider who was saying his equipment was not up to scratch!!!!
  8. Would think Garrity would get some decent points if he stays on the bike,seems to be improving.
  9. Agree about Stead and Bellego.Josh is decent round Shielfield though.
  10. close one Tigers to sneak it if Ben has a mediocre night,really need him to win the big Heats.
  11. it will be interesting to see if speedway still has 40,000 mugs(sorry fans)turning up at Cardiff ,if they do it just proves that it is away day and booze that is the main feature of the week -end.
  12. Don't know why there was such an issue over the starting gate though,not ideal bur hardly a huge issue they should have been told to get on with it.To much time wasted trying for solution.They have rules in place is this occurs.To mess 50,0000+spectators about is unacceptable?Why would they have got through 20 heats the track would have been in same condition,the riders dictated things IMO .poor excuses from everybody concerned
  13. Some of his performances after GP week ends would suggest he is..
  14. Bearing in mind the 1st three matches were local derbies at the start of a season there was a fair few away supporters.The trouble is the entertainment was not great IMO ,therefore don't think many will return as neutral during the season.Things can only get better hopefully.The team is looking a little suspect though,hopefully Hynek will steady the ship a little .
  15. Another one.total trivia I think the poster was pointing out that Allen has machinery for sale was the real jistof the story,and judging by Sat night our riders maybe should be phoning him.think he has a point.
  16. It's amusing that you only comment on trivial matters,deafening silence on the important issues that you choose too ignore when any thing negative is said against the Promotion(justified or not).Everybody that makes a comment on here is told by the usual mob it's just to make them feel important!!!!!!!!!
  17. I think green light starts should be introduced more even starts on Sat when it was used.dont see what all the fuss was about the riders just have to look forward instead of looking to the side.Never seen one roller apart from Doyle and the wasn't a roller it was blatant misjudgement.
  18. don't think they are the level that they were a few seasons ago.Plenty of gaps in the home strait crowd now IMO.Just an opinion though might be totally wrong.Liked the look of Riss at Glasgow yesterday even though he did not score much looks a talent to me,and will be ok when he gets up to speed.
  19. Gutted for Simon top guy,speedy hope for full recovery.Seb Alden ? He likes Sheffield.
  20. Its still good to see that opposition fans can still stand together in our sport and apart from banter have nothing to fear.
