Maybe not Dick ,but certainly reading off his scriped notes.All the Barrie sayings are there throughout the Posts,but everybody is entitled to an opinion.It makes you a forum fanny though

Fromafar replied to djp45's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Thanks,knew him when he was in Scotland in the Sixties,Pretty sure he was the man who set Pernod sponsership for Ivan Mauger and was involved with him for anumber of years.Knew he was in Bristol years ago but wasn't sure if he was still there. -

Think the refs are covering all over the country Dont think Ronnie Allen is based in the north and is not at Berwick that often -

Need to get Ronnie Allen to ref the meeting,done agreat job at Berwick and Glasgow couple of weeks ago,on with the 2min straight away if Tapes incident,flashing the green light to riders messing at the start ,riders soon got the message Meeting over by 8.30Juniors got their match in without to much rushing about.Same at Glasgow on Sunday and beat the rain that would have definately called a halt to a slow run event. Fans can accept delays when rider s safety is concerned but not the messing about pretending to be GP stars. -
True,but the Promoters really have to work with each other rather than trying to "put one over" each other and suffering the consequencies.Edinburgh & Glasgow both claim big losses when winning league, was the reason the wage bill was too big for the number of fans coming through the turnstiles or value for money regarding the sport .I would suggest it was a bit of both and Speedway needs a radical revamp as some previous posters have stated.NO fan wants to see a Track close .

He doesn't seem to have run HIS speedway business very well compared to his other Companies,if that is the case.

Premier League Challenge Trophy (the 7 - 12 Cup)
Fromafar replied to Pere Ubon's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Its regionalised where 3 meet 3 and the winners contest final looks like.Berwick Redcar &Glasgow are in same section of bottom Group whatever happens at week-end -
The last month at Berwick proves cheaper admission =more fans attending,so it is up to the Promoters to agree and stick to a more affordable pay rate and stick to it (which they did not the last time they were in this situation).Its not rocket science to work out that if expenditure is more than income it will end in failure.I also agree that slower speedway does not mean it is less entertaining.

Good post ,riders have to play their part or they will be out of a job too.

Would Keith Denham be easy to deal with regarding selling the club (if anybody came forward),he strikes me to be in the same mould as the Mallets at Newport (if Icant have no-one else will).Not since to hear ANY club in trouble but this might not be the only tale of woe to emerge after the end of the season.Speedway in General is going through a rough patch and the dire summer weather hasn't helped.

Berwick V Ipswich Pl Saturday Sept 15th 7-00pm
Fromafar replied to Normski's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
A good reply to Big Ed's post an an example of how things should be debated on a Forum IMO Agree regarding track shaping, pretty sure the Promotion have approach the people concerned with the Football but were not allowed to alter anything (could be wrong though) -

Dont think Chris Louis would agree with that suggestion -
That means he will be at Berwick then (If they want him)
-
Most Berwick fans (including myself) would take that Team, but I think your local Bookie would give you good odds on that being the team
-
No thanks ,like you past his best.

Berwick V Ipswich Pl Saturday Sept 15th 7-00pm
Fromafar replied to Normski's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Glad you enjoyed the meeting it was decent with some good racing .Andersons realy have made the place look the part.All they need now is some luck on the rider front which they have not had since they took over.But thats Speeway I'm afraid. -
While you are seen to percieved to be the management spokesperson by a lot of people on this forum,how much money is in the kitty to buy the riders to achieve a team of assetts which seems to be the answer to all Berwicks problems regarding loan fees.While the ulitmate aim would to have a team of assetts I find it hard to believe this could be achieved before the start of next seaon .So perhaps some of the riders that have rode for Berwick over the last couple of seasons might be welcome back on loan

Doolan only has his self to blame ,he has lost form over the last 2seasons .Dont think he has had a major injury and if he wants to blame his machinery thats poor considering his experiance. Showed last night at Berwick that he can still do it. -
If 4h &4a gets him a starting average for next season I would definately have him ,he show signs that there is something there worth persevering with.If he is an assessed 7pts then NO.
