Did he say you jump around like a numpty ?.

Penicuik

Magic

But you do any way because you cant help yer self.

A man of his word.

What about the punters that go every week ?. Even if there is new fans coming at £18 would you want to go back ?. Sorry if this is seen as regular negative forum attitude but £18.

Pairs at Newport I think, could have been Stoney and Werner ? 4s on Sky at Peterborough.

£15 at Workington for 28 races. £18. is right.

Well done Workington.

Hate is a strong word babe. Berwick were 4th We don't need to try and massage our egos in the way the Monarchs do. Workington won it ....really.

I thought you said you jump around like a numpty ? Workington are the 4 team champions Well done Workington. Compton is flying lately have to give him credit for it.

Come on now You would be jumping around like a numpty if you won.

Maybe they are maybe there not. The won the 4 team tournament though.

I agree with you though Workington won it and congrats to them , they were there to be beat and no one could do it. They didn't just win it they pretty much dominated it. Home Advantage ? Maybe Would they have won it some where else ? Don't see why not. My only problem with it is how many times it has been held at Workington , I wouldn't mind seeing it some where else just for a change. But every one has there chance to try and hold this even if they don't want it , it wont move.

Well a Glasgow fan would say that.

Was hardly a gift they stll had to win it.

They are still there to be beat. The problem with it IMO, is the number of times it has been held at Workington. Catch 22 though, no one wants it because it is a dying event. It is a dying event because of the number of times it has been at Workington.

Garbage.

I am just using Berwick as an example. But yeah if Berwick won it that is what folks would say rightly or wrongly, it is still there for every one to win. As Spinny says neutral tracks haven't attracted the crowds that they should have. Berwick would be a safe bet dependant on Quallifers. On a Saturday night it is accessible for a few teams, not teams from the South and they shouldn't be punished but like neutral venues the bigger events have been poorly attended in the South , the pairs are already there , PLRC is in the middle so it would only seem right the North deserves one of the showcase events

I am shocked that they haven't brought in any sort of joker system like the world cup, although the hope would be that there would never be such a gap between the teams. The 4tt should be the Speedway equivalent of 20/20 cricket it should attract fans. If they could find some way to get all the teams involved and run it as an all day event , preferably IMO on a Saturday they could make it work. Add things to it get some live music Hold it some where like Berwick or Peterbourough and use the surrounding areas. Berwick has a large football pitch outside , why not have a 5 a side football team tournament with fans ?. The starting gate reactor game could be set up for fans to have a go on and win some prizes. A large marquee could be put out next to the pits area at Berwick for fans to go for a drink and meet up. As well as a meet the riders walk through area in the pits. A soak the promoter or personality we could all vote for some on the B.S.P.A site stick them on stalls and chuck a sponge at them £ 1 a go and the money goes to the S.R.B.F You could do this before it starts and give people the option then the meetings its self should be fast paced so people aren't hanging around. Make it an event.

Not to turn this into a slagging match or any thing but having seen the pairs at Glasgow I am pretty confident that any track could deal with a national event. Berwick have a decent enough structure in the main stand that could deal with any kind of sponsorship the corporate sponsorship this year has shown that. They have great seating and standing giving every one a decent chance of a view at the track. They don't have a bar but one of the arctic trucks seen at events like the Highland Show could be hired for the night. I honestly think it would be a success dependant on the teams that qualified.

Scottish Open at Edinburgh on the Friday Fours at Berwick on a Saturday Glasgow v Edinburgh PL on Sunday. Some thing like that to mix it up and give people the chance of a weekend of Speedway.

Shes good.

:lol:

I know a few Berwick fans who left early for the Stoke match but weren't very complimentary of what they had seen at Newport.
