Yes. And if you click refresh it ends up posting duplicates. That along with the ads is an absolute pain in the ar*e. Is it really essential to have so many adverts? Good win for Ipswich, even more impressive when you factor in that their top 2 were both off form.

That Schroeck is clueless. People have said it since he was Rye House's manager. That Oxford side looks absolutely dreadful. Needs a big hitter in there to replace Riss. It's an absolute p**stake that they have started the season so far under the limit as well.

Hopefully for a good reason as would imagine he has used the fund plenty over the years.

Been told that he is riding championship only and has only pulled out of Leicester's side. Can understand then Berwick keeping quiet as its business as usual for them but you would think the rider himself would come out and clarify whats happened at Leicester and give fans assurances that he isn't going to be mucking about his championship side as well.

Cardiff had to go because the crowds had dropped off so much. Speaking to my old man who went most years after Newport shut down, he reckons year on year the crowd got less and atmosphere in the City on the day wasn't what it was. I saw last years on TV and you could tell it was time to move on. BV is still a decent place for it, the stadiums as good as you'll get for purpose built in the UK atm. If the impossible happens and crowds start picking up everywhere again then it would make sense to move it back to Cardiff I guess but I would say its done now. Cardiff was perfect because you could literally walk out of the pub and straight into the stadium, and then the train station was a 5 minute walk from the stadium. The only issue I have with the whole thing is the ticket prices and how a handful of fans are defending it. If Phil the ace had to pay those prices at Poole for a GP, what would he think then?

It really doesn't mean the prices are too low. You seem to think that just because things sell out quick at extortionate prices, they are priced right and not a rip off which doesn't make any sense to me. There is a huge range of rip of prices for things in this world. There are huge waiting lists for watches that cost over 100,000 quid and nigh on impossible to get, do you really think any watch in the world is worth that much? What about the price of Oasis tickets, I am going twice and paid top whack but still feel ripped off. Just because people pay the prices it doesn't mean they are not being ripped off.

If you hadn't noticed the sport, in the UK at least, is on its absolute arse. Those type of prices do nothing to try and attempt to bring new fans into the sport. If you genuinely think the prices are reasonable then good for you. It seems the majority don't. The minority who do are all Belle Vue fans.

Your on a wind up now for sure.

I will definitely agree it was time to move from Cardiff. Back in the day when crowds were regular pushing 40,000 it was superb and the whole day was great. I haven't been since 2012 but to see the crowds so low on the TV was a shame. It had definitely served its time and I don't actually disagree with it going to Belle Vue. We all know it will be a good GP weather permitting and in fairness your not that far away from the City. What gets me is how they have charged such huge prices for it. If I still lived in the UK, would I have gone? Probably to be honest but it still doesn't sit right with me. Despite my previous comments, I do hope you have two days of sunshine and superb racing and it goes well.

Pathetic. It will be so fans travel expecting to see him at the Pairs and then turn up to find out he isn't there as he can't be arsed. Absolute sham.

Its a fair comment. It's out of the clubs control. I guess allowing guests would be a whole new issue entirely and would see clubs signing riders that have no intention to ride thus allowing guests. It really is baffling though that in 48 hours of their number one dropping out of Leicesters team this early, and with the same manager as them, that Berwick haven't released a statement giving some clarity over the situation. Has Cook just decided he wants CL racing only, has he quit both leagues, has he had a bender and sent a text in the heat of the moment and now regrets it? Who knows.

Being charged those prices for a speedway meeting is a rip off. Of course the tickets were going to sell - you could add even more to the price and they would because there are plenty of wealthy people who will pay the prices. That prat Saltbae or whatever he is called (the Arab chef), his restaurants were full for years despite rip off prices and most who went leaving underwhelmed. He charged a fortune yet had a full house every night and I have been to one of his restaurants and it was an absolute rip off. Thats the first example of many that come to mind. Just because people pay the prices doesn't mean its not a rip off. Be interesting to see what you would say if the meeting was being held somewhere else in the UK with those prices being released.

Nobody out there really to replace him is there. Vissing?

What a ridiculous thing to say. Just because they are being sold, doesn't mean they aren't a rip off. As far as speedway and prices go, those ticket prices are an absolute p**stake. End of story.

Isn't it pretty much the same thing if he has signed a contract? Palm Toft looks most likely. A quick google search shows he averaged 8.08 in 2024 (8.88 at home/7.23 away). Could do a lot worse than that unless there is something I have missed and thats why Berwick fans dont want him? Certainly stronger than going down the road of a newcomer with an assessed average.

Possibly one of the worst riders to ever ride in the premier league (or championship as its now called).

Maybe he went down the route of many others and spent his lockdown partying and hasn't shrugged it off. Either way, regardless of the excuses he comes out with, he is a waste of time in this sport and a continual let down. Fancy doing this on the eve of the season. Should be a lesson learnt for other clubs to steer clear now. Let him go and get a job in the real world although with his brains I wouldn't bank on it. If you put his brain in a hazlenut shell it would still rattle.

Hardly surprising. Guy is a waste of time. Top rider in his day but those days long gone. Was always going to be some drama with him this year.

Lynn look solid and could be dark horses if they all stay fit. Whoever they have at reserve is going to clean up in all honesty. Kvech could add a load to his average, Lawson will get you 7, Iversen ditto. Harris will average 6.5 over a season like he always does. Could be a real tasty team if Boughen reaches his potential and has stopped rubbishting himself at the first turn. Lynn however have had history of building teams on paper that look class and it never happens for them.

Point taken. Mean to say he wasn't in the class of TRick, Nicki P, Crumpy even Hancock when it came to the smaller tracks.

Has Jim Radcliffe bought Ipswich?

Be worried.

All good mate, Take it the rumors are true then.🤣
