Someone rattled your chains Jenga.

He has retired

I struggle after 8 pints nowadays

Would have prefered TJ to Vissing

Two stories doing the rounds, 1 ) He didnt speak to Berwick promotion, would not answer phone and 2 ) Berwick would not speak to him and would not answer phone. You will have to come to your own conclusion, I believe he wanted a move, and The Comics were the lucky recipiants of that decision.

Indeed TJ did ride at No1 at Berwick, he also struggled in that position, pressure on him was to great at the time. I think this season he will cope with the pressure much better, it's a pity he's riding for you lot instead of us mind

Not what management are saying at Berwick, but hey ho! it's where we are, and I still wish the best where ever he rides

TJ tends to prefer a slick track, the rest of what you say is OK. Never understood when a rider is perfectly still does not touch the tapes and refs like Jim McGreggor brink them back because they were to quick out of the trap

To be fair Berwick did want him, TJ made his mind up to be elsewhere, but IO wish him well where ever he rides

It's because he is a 'MASTER' in the proffession

TONY

Just think of the travel costs if promoted

Basically a North / South split I think Championship clubs will strive to be No 1 in League, but if there is a chance of being promoted in the play off's will just chuck the meeting. Why would any Northern club want to be promoted into a Southern league, the travel costs would be horrendous.

Can see a few teams going to win the league.then throwing it in the play offs

Insurance never comes cheap, but, it is essential. I am not sure it is compulsory, but certainly should be, it also should be a proviso of the licence to ride.

Certain folk are quick to blame Berwick Rangers for the restrictions on a Saturday when there is a football game on, but very remiss to tell anyone they have almost total access without that restriction.

I don't, but what ever happens, what we had, was no where near good enough, so the new management really need to get this sorted, if only to tempt the fans back through the gates.

No7 a UK rider, anywhere between a 2.00 ave and 3.99 ave. A 2 pointer is 2.00 to 2.99 and a 3 pointer is 3.00 to 3.99

Total access Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Sunday unless there is a footy game on. Access is allowed on Saturday up until 12 noon, as long as they don't render the track area unusable for the football.

My hope now lies in sorting out the track, Berwick used to have a very fast race track with a fear factor, 'FORTRESS SHIELFIELD'.rideres dreaded the place from visiting teams. A big racers circuit, that has generated into a 'GATE & GO TRACK'. In the last 8 seasons we have seen flashes of how it could be, just using the 'Under 21 Championship event' as an example, some of the best racing I have seen at Shielfield, followed the following week with one of the worst prepared track in a long time, how a track can go from brilliant to bust in a week havn't got a clue. It is my hope that the new management with their knowledge of speedway can deliver on a great track, possibly the best.

Liam's progress had a lot to do with Kev as mentor to him, helped by a keenness in wanting to improve, he listened and he learned. Next season will show whether it paid off. Bridger is a rider who will either be brilliant or not, I have a feeling the former, I am hoping he has something to prove, always believed in Dimitri, we should have signed him when we had the chance, however the youngster is out of him now, and that might be to our benefit, hoping Vissing is the one we had first time around last season he seemed to lack something, again this guy has something to prove. Any one of these could be a No1

I think our new management have looked outside the box a little, looked for riders who have potential to improve, backed up by riders who will reliably do their job like Kev . There have been comments about running Liam at No2, but most of his more serious opposition from No 7 last season will; be riding at No2 as well. Like I said earlier Chessell will be our real weakness, but lots of other clubs will have to run with a Chessell, he might surprise everyone though.

I for one do not have a problem with your opinion or anyone else's, I do however have a beef when posters start slagging each other off, keep it tidy and discuss is all that is needed. You often find when you meet an offensive poster, in real life they are really nice people, forums seem to bring out the worst in people, perhaps it's the anonymityof it.

You lot are putting Berwick in the shade for cattiness, meooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
