  1. Edinburgh (& Glasgow) would have been much worse off over the years without a steady flow of Ausy riders Some Southern based riders (with notable exceptions!) don't want to travel so far North Both teams have had some great and some not- so- great Ausy lads in our squads and ended up forging amazing friendships with some amazing characters IMO If you treat people properly you will reap the rewards
  2. I was travelling in a car and am not too good at typing on a wee phone keyboard, sorry to have bothered you all BTW, we decided not to continue to Newcastle as Steve's wee green face made us think there must be some awful "bug" going round Brough
  3. All part of being a speedway fan I suppose
  4. Thanks for that (I think) ..... on our way home again then ☹️
  5. IMO - 100% Lindgren. Looked like he leant over way too far and lost control of the bike - then the bikes contacted sending Freddie off accross the corner at which point Kenneth kinda laid it down. Cookie was lucky not to be collected too. 100% racing incident Best wishes to Freddie for a full & speedy recovery
  6. Aye great stuff, now that you've had a good laugh at our expense (some posts are actually quite funny) Our dance was brought forward so we could have it before Sam goes home..... but I'll guess most of you already knew that It's hard lines on us supporters who were looking forward to the Riders Championship AND the dance It isn't possible to change the date of our dance so we will just have to toss a coin to decide Speedway V Dance ...... anyone got a two headed coin? If you see some overdressed folks at the Speedway, you will know we are doing BOTH
  7. Bummer, I'll have to make Sunday dinner now Right decision tho'
  8. IMO, for what it's worth, the Yorkshire Tigers have hit form and are the very top of their game at the right time It will take a mammoth effort from anyone to overturn them I can't talk about last night but I know our guys tried their hearts out last week but the Tigers were a gear above and highly motivated The title is Sheffields for finishing top but the trophy is theirs to lose
  9. Not at all. Our Lads will give it their best shot!!!! It should be a good meeting
  10. I played hooky from physio to go to Sheffield last week so I'll have to settle for updates tonight Safe meeting all. Hope our reserves can do the business (please) Best wishes to Mark
  11. Congratulations to Sheffield on finishing Top As to who, if anyone, can topple them..... I have no idea but safe meetings for all, may the rain sod off and best team win
  12. As I have said already on the other thread, I do not condone James's actions but I was on the back straight on Saturday and the "abuse" was very much one way (from the crowd) with young James retaliating. One guy on the back straight yelling "Away ya w@....r" and the home straight absolutely erupted. Not the kind of behaviour to be teaching young kids either. I know nothing about why he was having such a problem on Saturday but he certainly made up for it on Sunday and also did a great job for Glasgow on Friday. I have spoken to James at Edinburgh and found him to be a nice lad
  13. I know I would have been upset if I was a Workington fan last night but the score is deceiving as there were some pretty good races Now, can I play Devils advocate again even tho' I do not condone James's behaviour. James is a young lad who has earned himself a "reputation at the gate" and sadly, he will probably never lose it now - the ref's & fans are watching!!! The pressure he must feel every time he rocks up to the start line must be immense and the frustration when it goes wrong again must be even more immense. I truly hope James can get past all this as he is a great (GB) rider when he has a good meeting
  14. Well done the lads in Monarchs race jackets and Jake Allen Mitchell was the difference for us and to steal / alter a phrase " Super RITCHIE Worral .... many thanks 👍 Gate 3 was a graveyard
  15. Try enlarging it and you will see his right foot is practically touching the tyre
  16. Best wishes to Lewis, I believe he already has metal-work in his shoulder hence a very nasty injury for him
  17. If you're an Edinburgh fan (logo) just give me a shout at the track shop and it's yours
