Or, Somerset gained an advantage of 7pts from their 2 tactical riders, Edinburgh gained an advantage of 6pts.

Ah, but what is the difference between the two...

So the Monarchs have taken yet another well-deserved title. Personally, I really like the PL: when all of the generic speedway problems are put to one side. The variety of teams and tracks, and a good competitive league are plus points, for me. There are plenty other threads for what is wrong, so let's try and get an idea of what is right too!

Well done to the Capital Monarchs!

The trick track will win the day, as it always does

Arguably the most successful bits are still amateur!

Ermm, the majority of that game is amateur!

Decent meeting tonight, comfortable for us with some good manoeuvres around the track with the spectacularity factor. A good turnout for a midweek meeting. Great to see Matty Wethers's nerve and competitiveness are still fully intact after his horror crash! Looking forward to the play offs

The point was he started to hit form in the meeting against Ipswich (if I remember correctly). He has now progressed to heat leader, and once again gets a vital point in heat 15. It was merely an observation of the season Matej has had. Quite an unusual line he took as well, but very effective!

Matej Kus once again getting a vital 3rd in heat 15. Did it from reserve early in the season, now from his new heat leader position. Great move on David Howe up the inside of the 4th bend. Who says there is only 1 line at Berwick? Not in Matej Kus's book!

Who is Whethers?

When you are a busy executive you have to use all the tools available to weed out the rubbish. Otherwise, I'd never have time to read the sensible posts on here. You'll notice from the reply that you are clearly not on the ignore list, pal.

Only reason I noticed is because I had him set to ignore and didn't recognise the name when the post was hidden. Name history on the profile explained everything. Just call me Sherlock...

I wonder how many times Robin is going to change his name? I think that's more than Taffy now! Anyway, great to read on the Bandits' Newsletter that Matty has been passed fit to return. What a rider to replace Matej at reserve!

The thing is, you even get typos on the BBC. In the days of print, proofreading was very important as a mistake was costly. They still got through very often. In the t'Internet age, immediacy of information is key. Thus, you find typos wherever you go. It is, however, generally accepted that MOST people have the intelligence to read through them. It takes a fair bit of time for the folk behind the scenes to write these newsletters and to compile them (aside from their many other duties). Picking away at something as trivial as this is somewhat disrespectful to them, David.

Acht, big deal, we pumped Newcastle which is much more important. Keep those knives at the ready though, Screm

Jeez! Really feel for you guys. Thankfully you keep going. £16 is a lot, especially for two patched-up teams.

I think if you are using average as a statistical measure, then it is more accurate to use as large a dataset as possible, therefore ironing out any anomalous results.

Aye, considering the way rolling averages work, it is especially impressive. Great to see that Berwick is the place for him, hopefully he'll be with us for a long time.

Fannies got a bit of a trouncing with that one

This should be a decent meeting. Great track, with plenty of spectacularity, like Shielfield. We might just fancy our chances?

I would have been astounded if we had come away with anything from here. Not our best track, and a stronger Rye than last night. Good excuse for extra drink for the Bandits on Tour!

Agree, Kus us more consistent, but Jensen is a pretty handy rider to have at reserve too!

Seems to have been done in the spirit of good sportsmanship too.

For a definitive answer to the curfew last night. http://www.berwickbandits.co/article/double-header-part-two-part-two-curfew-runs-dry-berwick-take-further-three-points-spirited I - and many others - saw more; in addition to the spectacularity of a big, fast racetrack. Good night out.
