  1. congratulations grigory laguta, today was another example of why you are my favourite speedway rider
  2. Thornblom scored 5 points on Thursday and 1 point last night in the Swedish final, but I couldn't be arsed to investigate further... Congratulations to Grigorij Laguta today winning the Polish version of the ELRC What a exciting meeting it was, if you are suffering withdrawl symptoms over the lack of a pulsating meeting this weekend I would recommend a watch.... I know its hard to believe there is more to Speedway than Berwick
  3. Newcastle generally get more right than wrong... I did fancy the Diamonds pre season to make top 6 but I feel too much inconsistency and Steve Worrall though he has improved isn't a number one at this point...
  4. fair play to Plymouth turned it round it would seem some good results at the right time coupled with the momentum Plymouth fans deserve it, whatever the future may hold
  5. I think his attitude stinks personally, goes on likes hes world champion couldn't even get in the plrc
  6. Rather ironic I read in another one of these informative PR's a few years back - Berwick had one of the biggest budgets in the league I presume then we overspent on riders like Alden Complin etc or was that more horse rubbish from the club?
  7. Totally agree on the EL fast track system, certainly watered down the el even more I don't think there is a way to save the Sport here, fans have been shat on for years but as long as the Monarchs and Poole are winning its all good.... The riders aren't entirely blame less, an increasing amount who don't attend meetings when it suits scoring maximums in other countries and then scoring 3 in the UK. Or some who sign ride a meeting then don't come back. Crowds are down everywhere, Tai Woffinden doesn't race here our flagship marketing asset... That being said I still think Britain is a great place to learn your trade, but the modern day rider has changed... times have changed maybe the fans have too As for Berwick? Not good enough over the 7 years. We have had a few bright sparks, Stormy, Clews and Ashworth who took it to the next level. We had to say our goodbyes to legends Rymel and Makovsky. Crowd levels and results don't lie, there is still a market for Speedway in Berwick. But after the falling out with the Supporters club pre season morale among even "die-hards" was rotten. I hope Berwick come to tapes under a new promotion next year. However a change in promotion would be for the best whatever level we may drop too.
  8. Remember the average fan lives in the now and goes on what they are told or read.... Hopefully something is worked out for the continuation of the Club Time for a change regardless....
  9. Alden was riding for Masarna and and Lejonen I'd imagine guys who double up are, or whom have Aspegren, Lindback, AJ, Edberg, MKarlsson, Eklof guys like that Like I say what I find fascinating with the Allvenskan is in the past employing guys like AJ Lindback Bogdanovs but Swedish 2nd tier Speedway isn't all that much better attended than British Speedway. I think its Gnistorna there was a meeting I was watching and they had a tin can for a main stand but in terms of what the camera could see it liked like about 20 folk were standing around the stadium. Even in the Elitserian at Vetlanda last year tracking THJ, Kolodzeij/Sayfutdinov Hampel, Zmarzlik and Woffinden generally on the same night. They don't seem to seem to get huge crowds either. That being said Poland and Sweden have had quite a few clubs drop out in recent times and Czestochowa's case didn't run this year at all. Price you pay for tracking a Speedway Legend in Grigorij Laguta 3x I digress... I think a 10 point win this weekend for the Bandits
  10. yes but Elitserian operates on a Tuesday and Allvenskan operates Thursday.... Yes the Swedes do
  11. they don't go because its rubbish I met a gorzow fan who went to Berwick once, he said it was that bad he would never go again Granted not all Polish meetings are packed or is the racing top notch but they are so passionate about there Speedway.
  12. Speedway will survive just at a lesser quality. As for the riders guys like Woffinden and Lambert will be laughing. Woffinden is top man in the World Poland and Sweden statistically speaking anyways... and Lambert has been signed in Poland already, not sure by whom but he's been picked up. Harris isn't required very often by Rybnik and Cook still hasn't raced an official meeting for a domestic club. Apart from the two mentioned above all the focus should be on the British leagues. Making sure these lads either have adequate fixtures or allow our GB riders to double up and down. I remember Dave Tatum moaning about Barker being refused to race for Stoke on a 8.04 average so couldn't race for both Stoke and Coventry simultaneously... Stoke brought Klaus Jakobsson in instead. Which in turn ruined Stoke's season and probably did Barker out of a good few bob. We need to look after our boys Oddly enough Edinburgh's top man has been doubling up on a 9-10pt average for 3-4 seasons now, funny how things always work out for the Monarchs
  13. Kennett is doing really well for Rye (even better than last) well into the 9's.... Like Stead I believe he works full time so fair play to him, makes you wonder what folk like Barker and Edberg are doing being full time riders... Knows his level maybe the Modern day Steve Lawson Yep no complaints Bunyan was awful, Edberg would have beaten him
  14. season is over, we wont surpass the greatness of brady Kurtz and Ritchie worrall
  15. nope it wont, I'll still follow the wonderful Sport that is Speedway
  16. Will Ben Barker walk again? Apolagies I knew he had gone to a Hospital closer to home which is great for him... But I didn't read a synopsis of his condition? It's a shame Barker wasn't squared away logistically because coupled with Vissing, that could have been a potent Top 2 for anyone So Seb Alden is the man to turn Berwick's fortunes? Bellego also been mentioned.... Neither name fills me with confidence that they will anything other than consistently inconsistent. Both of them have buggered off when it suited or a better offer came. I'm not sure why Berwick fans think erotic thoughts about Seb Alden, yeah he can beat 2nd strings by half a straight but so could 6-7 point man Lee Complin. We need race winners ideally I feel bringing new assets in is the right thing to do injuries can't be helped. I still think we'd have struggled for the playoffs with a full 7 and knocked out by the Rebels in the cup. If John decides to go again next year he will have Mattias and Nando on realistic averages which will help ten fold with team building. I'd really like to see Ritchie Worrall as a Bandit I think he's our type of rider and I think he will do the job Ben Barker failed to do.
  17. same reason he's got an out of this world gf.... She is stunning tbf
