Boobs

Oooooh, missus!

They are nominated places, but chosen by Alun Rossiter, not the BSPA. He tells them who he wants nominated, as did Middlo in past seasons.

Some people just don't know how lucky they are to have a speedway, in whatever league, to support.

As per post #148: Quoted populations as of 30 miles from city/town centre.

What will they do? Stage a revolution?

So you are agreeing that the Berwick promotion attract roughly one out of every fifteen adults in their catchment area to their speedway meetings, and Newcastle only pull in one in over a hundred of theirs? I'll stand correction if the sums are a little bit out. Maths isn't my strong suit.

From Berwick's e-mail Newsletter to fans tonight: This Saturday has our Bandits facing a busy Easter, with the mighty Workington Comets coming to Shielfield on Saturday night and the same teams racing again on Sunday on the left hand coast. Ryan Anderson has observed that, when the various teams in the Premier League were set up for 2014, virtually all the pundits named Workington as title favourites. Today he agreed that, a month into the season he could see no reason to argue with them! However Ryan feels that Bandits had a great night last Saturday, with both Claus Vissing and David Bellego scoring maximum points as they saw off the Tigers from Glasgow, and that if this form is maintained he is confident of a Saturday night success. Comets No 1 Josh Grajczonek will be pleased to get some laps in at Shielfield on Saturday, as such practice will be useful to his Grand Prix ambitions. Grajczonek, from Queensland, was this week nominated by Motorcycling Australia as one of two Aussie representatives (Jason Doyle is the other) in the FIM GP Qualifying event at Berwick on June 7th. As an added extra on Saturday evening, the club will stage another six-heat junior mini-match after the main event. This will be an NJL Cup-tie between Berwick's young Border Raiders and Northside Stars. Highly-rated Berwick-based 11-year-old Leon Flint makes his first appearance of the season for the home side.

From Berwick's e-mailed Newsletter tonight: As announced at the weekend, we are so proud to be staging a qualifier for the (deep breath) FIM SPEEDWAY GRAND PRIX WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP on Saturday, June 7th. Another huge night for speedway and for Berwick-upon-Tweed. In addition to the riders already announced, we can add the name of Josh Grajczonek (who will get a sneaky practice this Saturday, of course) with twelve more names from another nine nations being lined up to contest the meeting alongside the already-identified British and Australian riders. Already, we have been contacted by people wanting to book hospitality seating for the big night, and for their businesses to become involved. Do not hang about if you are interested, the (limited) hospitality spaces at only £40, and the full heat sponsorship packages at £100 . Book NOW, with Lani Rae on 07779-227535 or lani@berwickbandits.co

Total adult population within 30 miles of city centre: Newcastle (Greater Tyneside built-up area): 744,891 Edinburgh (Urban area + West Lothian) : 511,546 Berwick-upon-Tweed : 13,265 Might that be why?

The rules for 2014 are: 16.2.1 ESTABLISHED MA’s are calculated on a “Rolling” basis, for a specified number of applicable Meetings, taking account of the number of Heats and Points (excluding Bonus Points) that a Rider has scored. The applicable Meetings are: Premier League: League Cup mini-League Meetings & regular League Meetings

I rather think it sounds pretty good to most people. You would really rather have one glorious year, then have your club die?

Oh, and the Danish U-21 Championships are on this Friday as well. Meaning Glasgow have to surrender their two teenage reserves.

Tell that to Glasgow, 2011.

Absolutely correct. Hansen simply not a feasible signing, moneywise.

Much depends on who the Danes, Swedes and Poles nominate, but Chris Harris will certainly start this meeting as one of the favourites. Craig Cook too!

This morning's e-mail Newsletter says: Good news if there's cashflow problem, we can now accept payment at the turnstiles and (after 7pm) at the Track Shop by your Credit or Debit card. Patrons wishing to use a card at the turnstile should go to Gate No 1, which is the turnstile on your left as you approach from the car-park.

Dry. Quite nice in afternoon and evening. But it is Berwick, so of course wrap up!

He will be on an ACU licence, so has to give Redcar's fixtures his full commitment.

Rosco?

Why not? It's only a game. Surely you pay for entertainment and enjoyment of an evening out? Interesting to read in club newsletter about Hans Nielsen's involvement, by the way.

Unless they change their 1-7 (and haven't got time for that this week anyway) the Bears will have a facilty while suspension is served. Which cannot be a guest, so will be r/r.

16.2.1 ESTABLISHED MA’s are calculated on a “Rolling” basis, for a specified number of applicable Meetings, taking account of the number of Heats and Points (excluding Bonus Points) that a Rider has scored. The applicable Meetings are: Elite League: League Meetings, excluding the Play-Offs Premier League: League Cup mini-League Meetings & regular League Meetings National League: League Meetings, excluding the Play-Offs. NB: (Double) points scored as a TR will count at 50%. FTDP Riders in the EL and all Riders appearing as a Guest or as a #8 are ignored.

Not so. Rule 16.2.1 (page 37) of 2014 rule book lists the League Cup matches (in the group stage)and Premier League matches as applicable to Rolling Averages.

I think you mean Wethers to top score.

Pies at Shielfield nowadays are better (nowadays).
