I have sponsored many speedway riders, few have been as appreciative as Leon. As far as tonight is concerned, whatever the result, it will not be for the want of trying. GET IN THERE TEAM FLINT.

He really has been a pleasure to work with for the last 5 years, the time is coming where my help will be small fry

I have never been able to get over how mature he is for such a young guy, he will be a brilliant mentor for speedway in the future.

I believe Leon Flint donated his wages for the night to Mitch

Cannot understand Dick either, swings and roundabouts. If you want to bring back anyone, Alan Gladstone

I found it a bit monotonous, one good race heat 13. I missed last week against Worky, but it does seem the magic ingredient is WATER Even filling in the programme is no longer fun, can fill it in heat bend 1 to 2 1st lap

Makes no difference, cannot understand either of them

I will be happy if I am being entertained, apart from the Glasgow meeting, I can take it or leave it this season. Only been to two meetings, the enthusiasm has almost gone, I even used to enjoy filling in the programme, I can now fill the race in by bend 1&2 lap 1

Careful pal you will have the Pitman Mafia family on your back

Only for you Colin

Think you will find that Colin does use basic English, VERY BASIC

We certainly dont' have a history in the last 8 or so years of signing an up and coming rider, certainly have signed plenty of riders on the back end of their career , so we will se Leon in Berwick colours in about 15 to 20 years from now

Couple of riders around Leons age that I think are good prospects, also a few younger ones on 125s and 250s that are coming on nicely. In the also rans I think Kyle is the nearest to leon in age, just over a year older, the way Leon has handled the progression is impressive, steady as you go one stage at time, even now he has set as sensible target at Birmingham, although he is exceeding it, he still maintains his sensible target.

I think the Under 21s was a predictable meeting. almost 4 camps, Lambert camp 1. Bewley, Grieves, Mountain etc camp 2 , also ran's camp 3 and also also ran's in camp 4. Leon has his head screwed on not bad for a speedway rider, understands his capabilities but strives to be better,

At 15 he has a whole year at NL level, at that point probably time to look at his aims

I would say if Leon wants to ride for Berwick then so be it. My belief is however, is he is a better rider than that and aim for the best deal to further his speedway career . If he continues in the way he has at Birminhgham then all of the senior clubs will be queuing up to do a deal with him, for his sake he must ignore any sentiment.

Proves the point, Richie Worral the winner

Don't know why we have to complicate things, 20 heats the rider with most points is the winner. We have the same problem in the leagues with play offs, the team with the most ;points at the end of the season is the winner of that league

I wasn't there on Saturday so not really able to comment too much. Here is my problem, the week before against Glasgow, the track preparation was really good, very slick but that's speedway nowadays, our riders rode it and attacked it brilliantly. So they prepare a track that suits our riders then change it the following week to a track that does not suit them, WHY ? The weather was brilliant there was no forecast for rain, the track could have been watered and packed every day, as there was football on the Saturday, nominal track prep on the Saturday morning until 12.00. Reminds me of the World under 21s meeting, track was spot on, some of the best racing I have seen at Berwick, one week later one of the worst prepared tracks I have ever seen.r

A 15 year old is eligible to ride in The National League so qualifies tom ride in under 21s,. A 15 yr old cannot ride in Championship as they will be riding against foreign riders, don't know if it is an insurance thing.

Cheers, I knew it was at least a year, doesn't really matter that much as both these riders are really good prospects, and i know they get on really well with each other. The main difference Leon cannot ride at Championship level until he is 16.

Think Kyle is 1 year older than Leon, 15 months i think. Kyle is now 16 & 1/2 I think, :Leon was 15 in February

A real well done to Leon Flint, by far the youngest in the field, and if it wasn't for that puncture. Ah! well not this year but I feel very soon

Jokes aside, the little buffet is supplied by the Black and Gold for everyone who comes into B&G afterwards. A lovely gesture from the owners to ALL fans for coming in, as Norm said hope you enjoyed

Nah! definately a model of Jamie Courtney
