  1. It is irrelevant who has excused themselves,there will be 2 sets of riders there that will put on a show for a good cause.
  2. Impressed with the commentary Team ,Nichols explaining things well and the other guy is getting better every meeting IMO
  3. Not another track that Alex doesn't like.Seems happier playing golf.
  4. You can have him next season.He is a different rider at Ashfield for some reason.
  5. The major problem at Berwick (and most other tracks)is crowd figures they are just not improving significantly and in a lot of cases are still decreasing .Interesting to see what will transpire next season.Something has to change regarding income over expenditure.
  6. It is a shame,I don't mean to be disrespectful but with Cook missing how many Monarchs fans will turn up. Open Meetings and challenges have had their day IMO.Sincerely hope the Tigers can regroup and have a better season next year.
  7. Another Glasgow Select vEdinburgh Select what a waste of time.Will the crowd turn up.
  8. crap track prep,the riders were moaning about too much dirt ond bumpy at practice so they make it a gaters paradise ,what about the fans.
  9. Think collarbone injury was the favourite,during the season it was 2weeks out ,end of season it was a 3/4 recovery period.Is it not the case now that payments stop at the official end of the season.
  10. TOURETTES of the FAMOUS Taffy's Time Machine Sponsers of Number of Berwick riders throughout the years who would love to own the club but the wife won't let him buy it.
  11. What chance is there of the meetings starting on time if Taffy is going by his timepieces.
  12. Think that Algerian alcohol and the hot sun is having an affect on you.
  13. I agree with you,the carry-on with track prep early season should not have happened,like you say perfect for showing the world how good we are and mediocre a lot of the time.for the first ever I missed home meetings because I was p*ssed of with the track.I know a few diehards who had the same feelings.Hopefully next season we won't have to discuss track prep as much.A directors statement 2-3 meetings into the season saying they would get it right is not good enough.
  14. Bike technology is the culprit that passing has declined look at the track record when speedway returned to Shielfield.Anybody watching Seb and the U/21 guys realise that.How do you pass a PL heat leader these days if he makes the Gate.My answer is seldom.
  15. Football club won't allow it.Been an bone of contention for a few seasons,which is a pity .Not sure if size of pitch for league standards is the issue. To the regular fans it seems that it would not take a lot of the pitch to alter the entrance and exits to the bends, but its not going to happen unless there is a change of heart somewhere.It is a beautiful looking pitch and I can see where the Football Club are coming from.
  16. I agree with you they probably were major factors.Just a season to forget on track I'm afraid.Fixture planning did not do us any favours to many blank Saturdays people get out the habit of attending when this happens.
  17. Not allowed to take anything off the pitch,the track would be awesome if entrance and exits to the bends could be widened but sadly won't happen.
  18. Very easily brushed aside in tight situations IMO.dont rate him.Excellent at Ashfeild where if he gates its easy to stay in front.
  19. You have a valid point but he cannot be faulted for lack of effort and entertainment value which cannot be said to certain members of the Team,when the going gets tough some go missing I'm afraid.
  20. The current Promotion may be understated but perhaps they need to take a leaf out of Peters book instead of listening to riders excuses for underperforming.
  21. Dont know how the Team manager can put up with Barrett winning Heat 2 every week then doing virtually nothing for the rest of the meeting.Imo off he doesn't. Gate he is not interested because he realises how hard it is to pass round Shielfield I would rather see Carr last but giving everything. To think that Complin,Clews and Makovsky had their critics but at least they gave 100% entertainment value every race unlike the present incumbents.Its not a pat on the back that some riders need its a kick up the ar*se.
  22. Hope Kyle and Max are not to badly injured it look very nasty and certainly frightening ,just out of interest is there any one else thought that Kyle should have been excluded as it looked to me that he lost control and caused the crash but it was an all 4 back from the ref in the the end it did not effect the heat result as Rose finished last anyway but it could have.fair result on the night though both teams deserved something out the match.
  23. while Charles Wright is outstanding in NL, but he has had a number of chances in PL and fails to maintain his form for any length of time ,dropping Neilsen seems to be a bit harsh.We don't know what is going on behind the scenes though.
