At this point in the season, you are correct, in terms of average. I don't think there has been a transfer fee (to my knowledge at least). I don't think describing him as a cast off was particularly accurate. Whoever the team manager is at Scunny made a bit of a slip letting him go. Thomas's last 7 scores: 11, 10, 16, 13, 11+2, 16, 14+1, Not bad, eh?

Not very, then. Unlike a certain person who can welcome Aarnio to Newcastle, but not new riders to Berwick. Who throws a tantrum because he wasn't in the know with a new rider. Who made a disgusting comment about the gentleman that is Matty Wethers. Who constantly jibes at the club. Who pulled up a ridiculous typo from a press release that was announcing a new signing to the fans (a rider who looks to have a bit about him, incidentally). Hall just looks as if he needs a bit more speed. He rode well a Rye House, as did Alex. They are inconsistent, perhaps, but they are both capable of winning crucial points. Tough second half of the season so far, and entirely down to bad luck. I think we'd be looking at 3rd 4th at the moment had we not lost Ben and Claus. Good to see that crowds have been reasonably strong the last few meetings. So important if the club is to survive that the fans turn up, and it look as if they are coming out and supporting the Bandits in good numbers of late. Long may it continue. Really, Mr Monks, what a pointless post. Adds nothing to any conversation. I have no idea if any of Alex's family are involved. To be honest, it is of no interest to me who is involved in running the club. I supported the hard work of Peter Waite, of Lynda Waite, and now John Anderson and George Hepburn. It's been my club since the 70s, and that is who I support and I'm grateful for all of the above people for keeping speedway alive through it's toughest time financially. If there's anything wrong with that: then, I truly am a silly person. -

I thought my response was perfectly civil.If you want me to troll you, then I can, if you like. You'll not like it though. -
Aye, he's been an excellent signing. 20th is well past mid-July, so your darts and tankard are safe!

Just a recap of various opinions on the excellent Jorgensen: pre-season.

Thank you. You have no idea how much your reply made us laugh! =D -
Glasgow V Berwick Sunday 19th

Really impressed with the new Glasgow setup, great for Glasgow fans and speedway in general. The racing was very uneventful, apart from Thornblom's victory over Summers. Some pretty horrendous refereeing, but that us just par for the course with Mcgregor. -

I think it is psychological, with our 2 heat leaders out, and huge expectation to win at home, our riders are experiencing the speedway equivalent of white line fever. -

That is a mighty strong Monarchs side, really can't say anything other than the better team won. Agree with Topsoil, some decent racing later on in the meeting. Doolan yet again pulling off some tremendous moves. TJ asked Cook to show what he was made of in heat 15, and Cook responded. Good to see Liam Carr going well, Coty should have had 5 instead of 3, but just tried too hard. Thornblom looked to have a decent style and improved as the meeting went on. -
Sure Tero will do a job for you, and Henry at reserve should be useful.
-
Possibly even better for his career to ride a further track next season?

Sorry to see this happen, but, as the saying goes, if you can't stand the heat...

I've heard good reports from some Swedish friends too. Roll on Saturday! I can't wait for Taffy's shutters to roll up and see what garbage he posts about this.

Tungate was electric last weekend, he should score a fair bit for us. Thornblom, new to the track could take a bit of time to get dialled in, so don't know what to expect, but looking forward to seeing him in action. I'm sure he will get the legendary 3rd bend welcome! Alex and Richard were in better form at Rye, hoping for more points than last Saturday. TJ and Doolan, well, what is there to say about these two guys? Been excellent all season. Coty has been exciting and great to see him progressing. I fancy he will get a few points on Saturday. The Monarchs are a tasty outfit, so I think this is going to be a close one, but hopefully we'll get back to winning ways at home. Pity that Masters is out, very exciting rider around Shielfield. I suppose Cook is not bad too, though. -
Very true Shadders. It was what is known as a retort. I have quoted the initiating post for reference. Sigh.

Very kind of you, but I was able to find the video, it is difficult to gauge from the odd YouTube video, hence my reason for asking Robin. To get an informed opinion. Your initial response has taken the breath away from quite a few folk! Nice to see you have calmed down a bit and eating your humble pie, like a good boy should. Thanks Robin, so roughly on a par with Aspegren? Very good if that is the case. -

Never can tell until a rider has a few meetings under their belt, I guess. just been talking to some folk who watch the Euro speedway, like yourself, and they say he has plenty of ability. Like you say, a very positive move. -

The GP heat that you have posted is against 3 EL heat leader quality riders, one ride when everyone else was on their fourth, also 2 years ago. Kind of difficult to draw any conclusions about that: well, not about the rider, at least. Although, you might be saying he is of comparable standard to that of Lamber and Garrity. So, I apologise if that was your intention. -

I don't know much about him, but glad that you think he is a good signing. What do you think he is capable of achieving? Honest question as I know you follow European speedway. -
Even the mighty BBC website has typos, I really do feel sorry for you that that is the best response you could come up with. He looks to be a good young prospect. I have done you the courtesy of getting the "red pen" out and correcting your post. I guess you and your pal didn't know anything about this, hence the spectacularly disdainful reaction.

Good guest for the Bandits, and also an exciting new signing to look forward to. The toughest of opposition, so it should be a cracker. -
Jeez! That says an awful lot about you, how very sad and pitiful. Anyway, well done to the Bandits' Promotion for making a positive move. There are not a lot of riders going around, and after an exciting signing in Coty, we have another young prospect coming into the team, and another young asset. Well done guys, and I'm certainly looking forward to Saturday
