I think it would be disappointing if Berwick did not stick with Ricky if he is coming back,he has become a favourite of the fans and done a good job in his time at Berwick.

Its total nonsense to charge anything if you have a rain-off ticket it's taking the p#ss IMO.what did the fans see 3-4farcical races.

Whatever anybody thinks about Eurosport coverage,just remember SKY just dumped GP speedway and will possibly be dumping British Speedway next season,at least Eurosport are giving it a go.Their. coverage of other bike sports is Great IMO.

While Greg has had a great GP career and cannot be dismissed lightly in any GP race.but,he has been passed more times this season after gating than in his whole GP career .The Young Guns are coming through and you cannot see him being Top Dog again.

Well done to Darcy don't think anyone else could have past Zager once never mind twice in the final.Good Eurosport coverage dispite the interval man getting a few minor things wrong ,better than the sky drivel in previous years.

With today's TV technology rewinds ect.I don't think it effects crowd levels if the fans want to watch speedway they will turn up IMO.Team Strenghts might be the deciding Factor in this one iI fear

Same conditions as Glasgow last Sunday.

you thought everything was on the the up last week,has reality kicked in.iI certainly hope that their fortunes can be turned round as we need successful teams in the North.

hope he has ordered the Pink kevlars.

The trouble with British speedway is that the variations in tracks sizes and shapes and technical nature of the sport is that modern technology has taken over ,the BSPA over the years have done very little in technical aspects of the sport to address this issue in British speedway and the entertainment value has dropped due to gate and go racing.Tracks in. Poland ,Sweden and recent British purpose built tracks are better suited to modern technology and is therefore much more likely to produce more entertaining racing.You can price anything according to the demand from the public.British Superbikes being an example .

Depends on how you price what length of time you are being entertained with your theory. You are not getting a days entertainment at a speedway meeting. Value for money is the issue IMO.

I am not knocking Jake in particular its just the way the system works averages mean too much and at the end of the day results matter it is very hard to carry 3pt men,that Sheffield line up was always on a hiding to nothing IMO unfortunately young Jake is the scapegoat .

Tend to agree, for years now there have been several Young Brits who just can't cope with the PL when given a chance .the ones that are coping seem to be from a Different form of bike sport ,the grass tracking scene seems to have dried up a little and the Moto Cross boys are taking over.there a lot of riders in NL who have been about for a few years but can't seem to break through for various reasons which have been well discussed on this forum

Maybe the weather forecast put them of watering heavily,but the track was very dry from the off IMO.Standing on the 1st bend it was noticeable that Bager was going in tighter than the rider in front but was not getting anywhere the leaders were on the dirt line about 2/3 out and never looked like being past.

It's interesting to note that Joe Jacobs scored 8+3 yet the only opposing riders he beat we're the Berwick reserves Starke and Carr,thought Compton had a decent debut if there had been abit more grip on the outside I think he would have had a few more points for his efforts.Its was abit gate and go although there were some brave 1st bends from both Teams.Score was close enough throughout to make it interesting.

4 riders is hardly strength in depth,it maybe was a massive improvement compared to the last few weeks but there are still stronger Teams than Berwick to visit IMO.Hope you can get a few Home wins together as you have a good bunch of loyal fans ..

No problem.

Good win for Bandits,Glasgow are a poor looking Team too any old timers going through the motions .Raunis not the answer to their problems,Compton will do the job he was brought in for,Screen is not interested after a lap if he is not in front and is just waiting for the end of the season IMO.A few more Home defeats on the way.

Any weather updates

I don't think he has and he is not the best of gaters which does not help,he is a better rider than he is showing his away form is still pretty decent a good rider IMO.

I am still not convinced Berwick is his favourite track.Perhaps he was hoping to adapt to it.

Your the man ,should not have doubted your positive attitude ,good call. Looks like Lemon and Shramm best days are now behind them.Wells is usually better at Shielfied.good result for the Team.

Thats some score line I fancy a Plymouth win if Lemon gates.Hope not though.

looks like it was the track to blame for the past 2 weeks after all.

To be successful teams have to have a good reserve unfortunately we let the one we had slip away,the rest of the Team are inconsistent and not performing to their capabilities IMO.Will Kennet be riding on Sunday ?
