Silence is Golden

Don't. Hold your breath on that one.

I suppose it depends on your watch was it a Timex from Taffy's or aTag Heuer!!! Whatever time it was the paying public were short changed again which is happening too much in the Sport these days.Anything to get a result declared seems to be priority

There are just far to many incidents in meetings nowadays that lead to fans standing about getting fed up.Medical cover is expensive but has to be improved.The powers at be are not doing anything in the sport that would attempt reduce accidents ,you could say that track conditions caused Wethers accident last night as a lot of riders were struggling on the exit to the 4th bend and Liam just pulled a slight locker and Matty clipped him.People are fed up be told the paramedics are tending to the riders (we know that).better arrangements have to be put in place to compensate for these situations should they arise.What happened to the Medical room that was going to help these situations at Berwick I have never seen it in use.In the case last night to bring in a Doctor from outside is admiral but standing on the terrace waiting for him at 9.10 with 6 heats having been run you knew that the meeting would never get 15hts in due to the curfew let alone there being another delay,perhaps Berwick should seek council permission to extend curfew when this happens as an emergency cover.At the end of the day the fans were short changed again only seeing 10 heats.

They will probably wait to see if Harris does get in the meeting proper as he is having a good season in EL and thinks he is still going to get a lot better once he finds his gating touch!!!!!!!!!!! he have been unlucky in the GP as the riders are just going to fast at the moment.

So it was really just a rumour !!!!!!

Its not about paying fines,the council will take a dim view if rules were contravened without permission.I assume Berwick had permission regarding the qualifier as a 1 off event.

though the track was poor tonight,no doubt the weather will get the blame.

Difficult angle but don't see how Smolinski can be blamed for"taking him out".just looked like a racing incident Imo

Not avery professional approach if you really want to be a GP rider,after all he was only 10 races away from his dream

Maybe so but when Ricard Lawson puts it on Twitter ,I tend to think there must be something wrong .

You just can't make it up these days,it's meant to be a professional sport,dire stuff.

Richard Lawson has just tweeted that message.

Basic error was taking his helmet off.He will learn though he is still young.

Unfortunately it did not happen in slow motion.

can someone explain how Nicki's bike was still running after he clearly was separated from it during the crash what about the cut-out Health and safety issue ?

I a simply answering a question that another poster queried,based on what I read in Speedway star.

It is but is that in GB or is it an F.I.M.ruling.I don't know

Speedway star this week goes into some depth regarding thi matter and Hampel is quoted that red and yellow cards would help this matter

Wilkinson and Summers have had good meetings at Shielfield,Lawson if he gates will get a barrowload,might be tight with Bellego missing.Bandits to sneak it.

agree I've always liked the speedway at the Showground

What I can't fathom is why the club is so poorly supported (if what I read is true)that produces such good entertainment on a great track.Think speedway in general is really struggling .

Looks bad when people involved in the running the club suddenly find they have "other commitments".

Agree they deserve it.Havelock couldn't run a raffle and his actions do the sport no favours.

Hardly " brainwashed" when I see the crowds flocked to the other bike sports you fail to recognise Eurosport know the viewing figures and programme accordingly IMO
