I think he was one of many of KKB's favourite riders !!!!!!!!! Also schools are still on Easter break and I think he has done all his money in the Bookies over Easter.

Having watched Matt Weathers for the last 10 years while he is not a superstar he is what speedway all about 4laps 100% great entertainer in the Makovsky ,Clews mould.If he has a poor meeting you can accept it, but with some others it p*sses fans off when they consider there is lack of effort If there were more riders put in the same effort there would be a lot less moaning from fans of all teams IMO.

Good Post,that's how I saw tonight's action.I fail to see how Kus and Doolan can get so far behind when they don't have a good gate and 1st corner.

A lot of fishing recently but no bites.

As with most riders these days.

He had a great meeting at Shielfield in the World u/21 last year had a chance or winning if he had not fluffed his last ride.He will be the key man for Worky to get something out of the meeting IMO.

your post #148 is misleading as the population of Berwick is given as 13,000.So the catchment as 30miles from Town centres is a lot more .You quote Edinburgh for Armadale as well as West Lothian,there is a significant amount of Population in the Borders within the range you are saying.

On this subject I am,but that's life

What do you define as Berwicks catchment area.

Spouting catchment area's is a load of Bullsh*t IMO.There is enough people out there .

How can this sport be taken seriously reserves missing for gods sake what next!!!

The catchment area is the same,as Screm points out,so what exactly do you mean when responding to his post.read my post as a reply to Paulco.Everyone knows society has changed so you are just backing up what I have said.I just don't know all the reasons that new fans are not attracted to the sport.Neither do youIMO.

I think you have valid point the sport is not attracting enough new fans for whatever reasons.This catchment area talk isn't valid there are still as many people live in the Borders as there was when Speedway started in Betwick.Average crowds were much higher in the 70's and 80's when the sport was more popular.Most tracks are relying on diehard fans nowadays.

Armadale is a track that not many visitors impress,Shielfield is the nearest in similarity to Derwent Park so I expect a close encounter,Kyle Howarth is the key man IMO.

the Workington Heat leaders will give us plenty to think about unlike the Tigers Heat Leaders we need more heat winners this week.

Your entitled to your opinion,if it sounds good to you fine by me.

Ah !! that's the plan win nothing and we won't close,sounds good to me.

Just watch out you might finish up being pickled too.

Have a nice night ,don't worry about the Bandits RobinH88 has spoken!

Not quite that.Im sure someone will explain at the reunion!

University reunion! Do you know somebody in a jar !!

Rymel crashed in the last heat ,concussion ruled him out of Exeter the next night and we still thumped them.he also spun out of his 2nd ride while leading.McGowan was their guest.

when we lost at Newport in August (where virtually everybody else won )that was effectively it over.We won at Exeter the next night and speaking to Peter in the pits after the match he was convinced that we still had a chance (optimistic as ever).Rye already had the away wins in the bag.The original point was a winning team keeps the crowds happy and maybe increases them,one thing is certain a losing Team has an adverse effect on the crowd.

what we win.? If that the crowds were atrocious that year what do we call them now.wait till beginning of season local matches finish and then see what crowd levels are now.We were challenging for 2nd place for most of the season Rye House were runaway winners.

What did we win in 2005.i would suggest that there was a bigger Home support for the Bandits than there is now,possibly due to the financial climate.Everyone seems keen to justify not signing expensive riders which is fair enough but all I am saying is that winning team will keep interest on the terracing.
