Berwick V Newcastle August 23rd
StevePark replied to crescent girl's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Alan Hedley might be. Give him a chance! -
I think you are confusing Dudek to Stefan Danno, which has also been mentioned on this thread.

Conceded.

I (nearly) always make sensible posts!

I can't see what the argument is. Darcy Ward was tested and failed the test. The only argument should be how much a fine or ban should he receive. A sliding scale for alcohol should be in place. So if only 'marginally' over the limit a fine and/or a short ban, to 'massively' over the limit a long ban. As for 'mitigating circumstances' read 'pathetic excuse.' The easiest solution is don't drink alcohol the night before.

Berwick V Rye House (pl) - Now 23/8
StevePark replied to Mimmo's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
What a rider might say publicly, can be totally different to what they are actually thinking. It can be miles apart. -
First point - that's rubbish. You can be 'on the pace' but still be in 4th and get no points. Doesn't mean 'he's pony.' Second point - I can only go by when I've seen him, but Aaron Fox guested for Newcastle a few weeks ago and deserved more points than he got, simply for the effort he put in and was unlucky in a coupe of his rides. You say "he's not good enough to be in the PL" there are many riders (both British and Foreign) who fall into that category, but, in my opinion, Aaron Fox isn't one of them. Every rider finds their level eventually, given time. Just because a rider comes in on a 7 (or a 5) and, in this case, is unlucky to be thrown 'in at the deep-end' with the number 1 jacket, doesn't mean they should be written off after a few meetings and, on borrowed machinery too.

As you know, some take a little more time to 'kick on,' and, hopefully, Joe is one of those.

Perhaps he thinks it'll be two away wins -
Berwick V Rye House (pl) - Now 23/8
StevePark replied to Mimmo's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Rye House first (6.30pm), Newcastle second. Not sure how that works as this is the Newcastle date originally, with Rye House being added! -
Workington V Newcastle 16/08/14 19:00 Hrs (pl)
StevePark replied to topaz325's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
..... and the Fours, of course. Although we haven't had it (postponements and abandonments) as bad as some, of course. On tonight, it seems like a decent away point was picked up, when you look at the updates, it could have been a whole lot worse. Hope Danny Phillips isn't too badly hurt. -
Who Will Make The Playoffs ?
StevePark replied to Super Blue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I don't suppose Newcastle will get anything from the Play-offs if they don't make them(although I don't know for sure). Which is why there is the 'mad scramble' to get into them. Just to make it quite clear, I am against the Play-offs to determine who become League Champions. If they want to make an end of season competition worth winning, they should go back to the Young Shield (or whatever they want to call it). I also think they should scrap the League Cup, have one challenge meeting to kick the season off, then go straight into PL fixtures and keep the KOC. -

StevePark replied to Super Blue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
The alternative is to see more teams go the wall. You want that do you? No, of course you don't, but no play-off = more teams possibly going out of business. To me, there's no choice between the two, whether you like it or not. -
Berwick Vs Edinburgh 12/8 Live On Sky
StevePark replied to bigeddiechek's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
That's 'original'! Seriously though, glad to hear both are not badly injured. -
Maybe this link may help? http://www.owzatgames.com/c/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=95&products_id=644&zenid=vi24dmm0gpjk7uq8kbh63fmsr7

You might be, but the rest of us are in the 21st Century!

Who Will Make The Playoffs ?
StevePark replied to Super Blue's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Well, obviously, if it's still raining the covers aren't a whole lot of good! The whole point of the covers is, they are on the track during the day (for a 'normal' meeting) if rain is forecast and removed when the rain stops, before the meeting starts, therefore saving the meeting. Whether Berwick had covers or not, the FIM meeting was going to be an obvious washout, due to the persistant rain. -

A make fans pay out even more hard earned cash for the extra it would cost to travel to those tracks to see their team 'at home'?
