To The Point

Do we need a guy at Berwick who manipulates his average to guarantee guest appearances.

Presume Kozza Smith 5.87. Would have thought Doolan earned his place as a solid rider and team Captain 6.95

that was the popadums

Well it won't me that gets it out

Which he will handle well, a good No 2 from a battler Discussing sponsorship with said rider

Begging bowl at Berwick is a permanent fixture, I know what Ben got last season, so you will probably have to pay a similar amount, good luck. Ben is a good punt by the way.

No it won't mate, money talks in speedway does it not

He could be, if you are willing to pay more than Berwick is

If the club has to hang fire until Feb/ Mar in the hope he will be fit, then I would rule him out now and go with TJ.

I would rather that came from his Consultant, as I said if fully fit would be a good signing

I believe so, but nowhere as serious as Claus.

Has he had his operation yet, if not when is it due and what is the recovery time. If he is fit and ready to go by March then yes for me epecially on 7.54, but if there is any doubt then rule him out and go for TJ who earned his place last season. Berwick cannot afford to have rider replacement again, it wasn't long ago fans were promised the club would not have R.R again, yet we had it for half a season.

When was the last time I spoke to you Dont worry mate I have broad shoulders Now that would be telling, and he or she would only get picked on, so no chance.

I was obviously wrong, and in in this case very glad to be wrong, a big welcome to Matty OK I was wrong, perhaps I should not listen to a certain Workington fan, but as said glad to be wrong. Doubt if I will lose customers because of speedway mate, too small a pot to make a difference to my customer base.

Dont panic most definately YES,

Matty has signed for Workington

They can ride in NL if they have Dual Nationality

Matty on 4.96 is a good punt

Neither am I really, just popping ideas.

What about Jorgensen 7.80 Pjiper 6,53 Alden 7.37 Melgren 5.57 Doolan 6.95 ? Carr 3.00 This leaves 5.28 what about a new rider asset like Michal Skurla 5.00 ave This would leave Melgren & Skurla rolling around each other at No6

If any team runs with a big hitting No1, they had better have the best No 6 available, but to be fair it equally applies to a team in depth.

Although not a fan of track record seekers, Alden, if his head is back together is a good punt. Forgot to say , Melgren is a very good signing especially if he is at reserve, if we have a weaker rider than that at No6. we could be far too weak at the bottom end, more than ever one strong reserve is vital.

Am very used to a certain person posting something he thinks you said, rather than what you said. I am fortunate in life, I am able to recognise a 'Bullrubbishter' from miles away BULL**ITTER edited electronically

His Argentinian equipment looks good in Argentina, more to do with everyone is on pretty poor equipment, but was no better than the equipent he purchased over here. Most invited riders take their old machinery over there, then sell it when they have finished the series. I would like to see him racing on at least one new bike over here, that takes sponsorship and for someone like him that his hard to come by. All Promotions should take a bigger responsibility in getting sponsorship for THEIR riders, and not just sticking to the wage deal they did and leave it up to the rider to find sponsorship, especially if they are foreign and sometimes have language barriers. After al it is in the Sponsors own interest to have a successful riders in their team.

Good young rider, plenty of time yet, earned his position as a heat leader, as you say not yet a No1 , but well worth sticking with him.
