I think the question that needs to be answered is WHERE will these riders be riding next year,EL or back in PL,if they are not in the draft.

the whole package,FTR,DOUBLE -UP,DOUBLE-DOWN,GUESTS,MISSING RIDERS is just at a farcical level and killing of the sport.It appears that the Promoters cannot find a remedy and are willing to muddle along while the crowds are dwindling.

Is it not important to tell fans a know fact to all the loyal fans at the meeting, but announce it a day later in a Newsletter that maybe a number of them might not even see.They announce everything else that they think is good publicity but maybe it is a negative so let's forget it.Hope you have it confirmed by the Promotion that Bellego might be missing or you will be slated ,by certain people.Your right about NL speedway.

Can you still get fined for tracking an under strength Team.

Find the right guests and you might get result.

Siily me never thought of that, beginning to believe the hype which ia a dangerous thing to do. Your not allowed to start rumours,Tut!Tut.

It your virtual world,do you seriously think that the average Speedway fans who follow their Team home and away would rely on this forum for Team News.Berwick have at tendency to release their official Bulliten a little late in the week which is their prerogative .not everybody has sign up to the Newsletter.I can see their point from a press and publicity point of view,I don't know but perhaps these announcement could be made a little earlier.Personaly I think the latest missing rider saga regarding Kus not going to be at Edinburgh in the last fixture could have been announced at the Home meeting on the Wednesday when they new fine he was not going to be there.Certain people are complaining about rumours of missing riders again but the boot is on the other foot this time because the riders are going to be there,I never saw and clarification when they were going to be missing we were just left to assume.

Thought it was 3 pts for a Home win.

Likewise!!!!

This is only the "virtual" world and any thing quoted on here is not to be heeded,that's what we have been told so that's what I do.!!!!! .Forum Fannies the lot of us (when it suits).

Have we scored 60 at Home this season,never mind with ease?which Jensen will turn up 0 or17.

Maybe he is anticipating an early finish.

Forgot to turn up tonight though.!!!!

R/R

Even starting early it is dodgy trying to have double headers these days if you have a curfew ,if we have a incident that requires the County Ambulance we will do well to complete 30 heats,Still fingers crossed for a smooth running meeting.

Middleditch must be fuming Ward is making him look a prat by sticking up for him.Interesting what line Ford will take in this matter.

You have a good point regarding your last line comment,IMO geniune locals will probably treat the meeting as part of their entertainment for the evening then socialise in the pub afterwords and get the politics out of their systems, but for fans like myself who have a long round trip to watch my team it sometimes makes it a long journey home as drinking and driving are not recommended.Its an expensive night out if your not enjoying it for various reasons and I can see why fans just give up on the sport with its stupid rules and regs.It just cannot be taking seriously as a Professional sport.

Yes they can,can't have "drunk riders" causing accidents ,the authorities might get sued if they are asked to breath test a rider after a crash ( could happen in today's legal world)

What was the crowd level compared to the Sky Match?It was certainly a backs to the wall win for the Bandits especially when Jorgensen had to withdraw from the meeting as well .

I agree regarding Jacobs but. Dilger is just a 2nd rate foreigner ,what chances do Young Brits have.

Bit of a joke replacing Jacobs with Dilger.IMO

Excellent.

There was a few gate and go tonight after the back straight 1st Lap.Cook and Masters made a pass each after the 1st lap but not much else happened.

It will be interesting to see the crowd level this Sat,this is a top of the table clash and a few years ago this would have attracted afair amount of neutrals from local tracks but nowadays fans just don't travel for these fixtures (probably financial ).For me Personaly weaken teams and guests don't help the situation,but that is modern day Speedway.Locals might not bother so much if your just walking up the road,but neutral fans that travel a fair distance could be put off.IMOAs a footnote to my post I will add the I spoke to 2 monarch fans tonight who make regular visits to Berwick and intended going to-morrow ,they asked if Kus and Bellego were missing when told they were they have changed their mind and giving it a miss for that reason.Justifying my thoughts on the matter.

As in BIGeddiecheck.
