Kev got 8+1 from 4 this season with Worrall and Clegg beating him so not to bad (Worrall and Wethers beating Starke this season). Maybe Berwick can learn a trick or two from Newcastle who last season used a facility for a rider who was taking time out the sport despite the 28 day facility running out the day before (this costing Berwick a top 4 place).

Would have been an easy victory if the two riders had been able to continue but Eastbourne got 10+1 from Lewis's races and Berwick didn't beat an Eastbourne rider with Kev's races.

Sorry about that then (haven't read back through the 3 threads). It might be easier to quote the post about Tero than quoting a post about Theo so there is less chance of people getting confused.

Not sure where you got Tero from? It was Theo that was mentioned (could have been an option if Jye was out longer as he rode for Berwick last year and rode for the Monarchs for years).

I didn't know that. What I was getting at was that the riders are possibly in order at the top of the page.

I must be missing something. At the top of the page in the Tale of the Shale it has Garcia, Flint, Clegg and Phillips as the reserves? The same line-ups at the bottom of the page are listed on the Newcastle site. Teams could possibly be in a different order over the two meetings?

A couple of seasons ago when Berwick replaced Berge and Vissing in their side they could only build to 40 (points limit at the time). It was around the time when Morris and Etheridge came into the side. I said at the time that the teams that were right at the start of the season were getting stronger and the other teams struggled to catch up.

Have you been at the speedway since August 2013? Someone was going to point you out when passing and I am still waiting.

Is the season ticket for 1 person only or can it be transferred to a relative (or friend) if you are going to miss a good few meetings? Asked the question on Tuesday and I was unable to give an answer (said I thought it would be for only one person but said I would ask on the forum).

Quite possibly was 2017. Was going off others posts that the limit was 42.5 (in 2017 I think it was 40) and a post saying back then (wouldn't think back then was only last season).

It was only 2017 and 2018 that I think we had 2 point averages so I would think Ryan would have come in on a 3.

Looks like Worrall is away to Leicester as well.

If you don't require the 2 x 6.5 riders who add up to 11 can you pass them onto Berwick. Sure someone would like that deal.

Hope you enjoy being back in the top flight and hopefully ruffle a few feathers. Hopefully Berwick will get someone and we can keep racing in the championship.

Ricky Wells for me. I don't like Edinburgh but for me he is the rider of the year (no bias).

The team is up for sale. Maybe need a new promoter before we can try and convince Leon to race for the Bandits.

Where was the info about Paul Starke having the most bonus points? Thanks On the speedway gb averages for 2018 both Theo and Kevin Doolan have more bonus points than Starkey (33 and 29 compared to 28) Using the rolling averages page Theo has 27 to Starkey's 25. The info would be appreciated so I can alter my list.

What I meant was that I discounted riders who were still on assessed averages at the end of the season (like John Lindman, Kasper Anderson etc).

Rider - Ricky Wells (top average from full season) Impressive Team - Peterborough (top of the table) Team Rider - Theo Pijper (Most bonus points) One to watch - Dan Bewley (hopefully fully recovered) Bulldog - Craig Cook (Best Brit in the league) Meeting of the year - Pairs (Somerset) All teams involved and not as much stoor as at Redcar Surprise - Workington - (league winners not really fancied at the start) Underperformers - Sheffield (expected to do well and end up at the bottom) Unluckiest Rider - Steve Worrall (Injured in 1st meeting) Newcomer - James Shanes (Best average for someone in their first season in the league which isn't assessed)

Didn't Woffy win his first world title when Emil got injured in the GP. Think Emil was leading the standings going into the GP. There isn't an asterix against his name for that championship either. Not set gates so not a great reflection. Some riders always took the worst gates. You also need luck in GP draws as well. Riders have went through full seasons without having a number with 2 gate 4's etc.

Don't know how you can split Luke and Sam. To close to call for me.

End of season party at Ord House tonight. Seems to be close for Bandit of the year with the deadline for voting being moved back to yesterday.

When the opposition see our number 1 they will think its an easy match. You can jump out from one of the inside gates and surprise them. Heard the Glasgow offer has been removed after Edinburgh's meeting last night. Mr Blobby is going now? That bung you got has worked wonders.

Might as well tell you the team. 1. Balderdashandpiffle 2. Screm 3. Allthegearbutnaeidea 4. Fromafar 5. Bandit59 6. DSC67 7. Normski 8. Crescent girl (for when one of the others is missing) TM. Emilali Sorry you just missed out. If injuries kick in then you are a possibility. Nobody is messing with that team.

Have to agree that riders should be ready to race when the 2 min light goes out. If not then they are rightly excluded but you need consistent refs who apply the rules all the time. Can think of 3 times at Berwick in the league match when riders were not remotely ready to race when the 2 min light went out.
