To The Point

They might knock Glasgee and Edinburgers bl**dy heads together

I did not mean Cook was only a gater, quite the opposite. The point was that Berwick is a gate & go track, with one line just past the centre of track, with a rider like Cook who is a brilliant gater commands the control on a track prepared in that way,

Dont forget isn't it Glasgow that banned one of it's oldest fans

Realistically for either team around the 7th & 8th positions, but as I said could go either way

I agree with you on Newcastle & P/boro. On Scunny and Berwick a lot of people have written them off, to me they are both teams in depth, but merit mid table, in what is a very open field this season, they could easily not achieve, but at the same time have the ability to go the other way.

If you don't want him in Rye, he can come up to Berwick anytime, Shads can give him a lift.

Cannot believe you have not been to Lady Bevs main reception room before (Free Trade for others who have never visited). A good night at The B&G and topped off with a visit to the Free Trade, and in the main good cmpany

I remember Pepe Franc looking back even when he was in 4th position

Oh the hey days, the odd Prima Donna and a bunch of Cavaliers. Today the odd Cavalier, and a whole bunch of Prima Donnas

If you gate, on a gate and go track, you control the race, and it's pace.

Didn't mean the track was good, the bit he rode on in the middle of the track was probably OK. All he had to do was trap in the way he normally does, and no one got anywhere near him, might aswell been out there on his own.

Apart from my hols, havn't had any bevvy since New Year

Of Course. need a bloody pint or 2, my excuse to forget my house move for one night at least.

Look on the bright side, they won't be any lower than 13th.

Guy Martin is one of the Motorcyclists, you just want him to win, he's a bit remenicent of the speedway rider that turned up with his bike strapped to the back of a Cortina.

Cheers for that

Just gone back to it, and yes it does state Craig Cook. When you use a search, can it take you back to an old page, but the rest was up to date as i was checking the prices for 2016 I put the quick change in info as someone being very efficient

Just been on Berwick Bandits website. It states track record is held By Seb Alden, didn't Craig Cook take the lap record last season.

It's a pity that we don't have speedway riders with the massive personality of Guy Martin. He must be one of the nicest ordinary guys anywhere in the motorcycle world.

Don't agree with you that Berwick as a poor side, as I don't agree that Scunny has a poor side either. I see them as very similar teams in potential performance, both teams are built as teams in depth, and on paper are mid table teams. In both cases they have the potential to surprise.

Isn't that a Cumbrian dream

Whats loyalty got to do with anything in the speedway world. They are self employed riders plying their trade to earn a living, if they can earn a better living by moving teams, then so be it. It is up to the employer to either step up to the plate, or seek other riders who will ride at their rates of pay

was that the haulage/ bus people

I am sure it was he Swallies lot, that told me last September while at Pardubice, that Armadale was secure for 10 years.

I think both Berwick and Scunthorpe (Very similar type teams) will do better than a lot predict, both mid table
