I’m not normally a fan of the use it or lose it argument but if you aren’t paying the entry fee week in week out and just choose to complain on the forum, what are you actually achieving? Pay your money and try to be part of the solution, not the problem.

Can’t see him being involved.

Bandits 40 - 50 Monarchs

I think that would be good news, I can’t say I’m very optimistic of us beating a half baked Edinburgh side if it is on.

Steve Boxall if allowed

Anyone else having issues with the stream?

Don’t understand the negativity around signing Boxall and yes I know the irony of me being positive for a change but it’s clear Boxall is trying to make a comeback and his scores on the IOW prove he’s still very capable. Perfectly sensible move bringing him in for a long term injured rider with a few meetings to go to see how he gets on with a view to next season for possible both the Bullets and Bandits? It certainly makes the Bullets meeting next week a lot more interesting for me and makes me much more likely to spend the money and hang around for it.

He is one of them away from home, at home yes a no doubt heat leader but away from home he tends to perform more like a weak second string. As far as tonight goes he was just fine but he was a Birmingham rider just a few seasons ago in the NL so I suspect this will easily be his best away performance.

At this point in his career he is basically a 2.00 rider himself.

A much needed win after last weeks debacle Slightly lucky in the sense that Scunthorpe signed a perennial scorer of zero at Berwick in Max Clegg earlier this week but it was good to see Jorgensen looking quicker than he has done in previous weeks Coles continues to work hard and Leon and Rory did enough to back him up Scunthorpe very much a four man team with Douglas very unlucky not to bag a maximum due to bike troubles Quite easily the most entertaining meeting of the season so far which certainly helped

210 at a rough count

Is this the club line Mr Barrie or do you genuinely think it’s great value? Or did you just fancy getting the fishing rod out?

I’d love to know how they can justify this, I can’t wrap my head around it I expect the crowd will be even smaller than I first thought after this announcement

Agree with most of what everyone has said so far, last week clearly the exception to the rule against a poor Edinburgh side and when Pickering was injured in the tie at Berwick it was always going to be a home win Like has been said anyone who had half an idea about speedway knew that the Berwick team was built terribly with Coles the exception to the rule again as he is proving to easily be the best 2 pointer in the league so far Leon needs a break from Berwick to get up to a higher level as he really does struggle away from home and only ever seems to beat his teammates or other teams reserves, however he is fantastic at home With a double header next week and the price being extortionate at the best of times for the majority of the fan base eg concessions I can see it being a very poor crowd next week, half of the fans on the back straight last night were from Redcar Berwick fans have been taken for mugs for over a decade now, has patience finally run out from one of the loyalest fan bases in speedway?

Been raining in the town centre for the last 2 hours on and off

Agree with the Flint/Etheridge statement but I’m sure most Berwick fans could have predicted that before the season started I agree that neither crash was track fault but the entrance to bend 3 certainly seemed very uneven and Lee Complin especially looked like he was going over speed bumps every time he went in It certainly seemed better in the later stages as the riders got progressively wider as the dirt moved out and the track grading was ceased, it just didn’t seem anywhere nearly as good as I have seen previously at Glasgow imo

You’ve got a brighter future as a team manager than as a weather forecaster that’s for sure

Looks pretty dangerous from where I am Nothing new there then

Are you fully delusional or can you send me some of what you’re drinking Mr Barrie?

I’d like to know your thoughts on signing TJ on a 9.53 if you think Schlein is bad on his average Schlein is the least of my concerns with this team

We all knew Schlein would be a Bandit

I hope the Poole fans will still speak to me after I predicted this one a couple of weeks ago In all seriousness Schlein will be our best rider imo and Connor Coles is as good a 2 point reserve as we could get and I fancy he will be better than Stoneman

Even after missing a season I’d say Schlein would be able to keep his average close to 8 and would outperform Jorgensen at most of the tracks we visit and is less of a risk than that signing if his 9.53 average is confirmed Berwick has never been his favourite place but he has always seemed to perform fairly well there as he normally brings his gating gloves

It’s Sunday night, who isn’t wined up Too busy thinking about the Jorgensen/Schlein combo at Berwick and how many 5-1’s they’ll be on the wrong end of against your flash the cash heat leaders

I’m guessing it will be a converted average from the Premiership last season which will be somewhere around 9.53 but that is pure guesswork, who knows with the BSPA these days Agree with that, I’m guessing the latter average for Jorgensen so hence my scepticism
