Aparently its so the rest of the country watching on Sky say "Gee those Berwick fans are great". Believe me if the meeting is of the standard of the racing we`ve had so far at Shielfield,theres no amount of fancy dress that will stop the critisism on here. The needle mightve got stuck but its all about the on track action that will determine if the meeting is a success or not.

His scoring is on a downward spiral,dont worry his EL shannanagings will only be a temporary thing before hes winging his way back to the PL,should of course a team will fancy taking him on.

Should make the next Peterborough v Birmingham meeting a bit tasty,thats of course if North is still in the Panthers team,any more ropey scores and he must be facing the boot. That of course would hasten his return to the PL.

Giving Taffys normal get upon a Saturday,how would anyone tell the difference if he was in fancy dress or not.

How true,as everyone knows Berwick upon Tweed is in England,and let us all be thankful for that.

Its a cheap shot right enough,and will pander to a certain section of the Berwick support,but come on Im sure you`ve been called far worse.As for the Mods getting involved,I think not,anyway after what you posted the other day in one of the Redcar threads about the alleged habits of one of their riders,Id have thought the less time the Mods spend looking at the PL section the better for you.

Excellent news,though this might upset one of our merry troop as they see poster advertising as outdated,my own opinion is something is better than nothing.Hopefully this will get that extra few along to Shielfield each and every Saturday night.

Thats quite incredible,you have a fan who used to go to Berwick but now,for whatever reason goes to Glasgow,thats worrying is it not.They are not alone,another poster has been once and might not go back,some dont go atall.

If its Cook & Dyer for Lawson & Mills it could get quite untidy for the home team.

Steady on there friend,you`ll be having the righteous of the Berwick threads at you. Just for the record I completely agree with you.

Oh for some passing at Berwick.

So its down to me to bring the positivity back to the Berwick threads. We all agree that theres a problem with the on track product on a saturday night,modern bikes,material used,track prep have all been debated upon as to the reasons for such go and go racing.But I dont think theres any problem thats insurmountable,maybe our promotion needs someone from outside the club to take a fresh look at track prep,Doc Brigetts name was mentioned,maybe they can get advice from him.

I agree with all of the above,but just one thing.You can have all the banners,face paintings,fancy dress outfits you want,the meeting will be judged by the racing on the track not whats happen around the periphery.

The speedway sand is full of lines though,most of the Poole team has arrived and say theres nothing wrong with the track.Id hope theres a full investigation into this,if the water is unfit due to a broken water main then fair do`s.

At least Craig Cook has a sense of humour.

Something smells very fishy,and its not fish.

What bloody meeting were you at,Wells,Doolan and Smith swapping places several times inHt15. :o

Another speedway shambles.

Not at every track.

Great idea will they help to improve the track though.

To be honest Newcastle are taking points away from a few tracks this season.

The reserves are an obvious weakness in the Sheffield line-up,and if Hall is on the sidelines for and length of time thats going to put even more pressure on them to produce.Young Knight is excatly that,young,maybe the move up to the PL has come a bit quick for the lad and winning races in the NL may do him more favours than running lasts in the PL. Koppe was in amongst things last night,fell in his first ride,but was leading Ht14 before falling going into turn three on the first lap,and bring down Hall.

Your right,though this weeks two Sky meetings went from one extreme to the other,slick track at Lakeside,crap meeting,track at King Lynn the following night was reasonably good but then again meetings at Saddlebow Road are usually good,maybe that comes down to track prep.

You think,the shape of the track has changed very little if atall since speedway returned to Shielfield,we`ve had some cracking meetings during that time,so IMO we can put the shape of the track idea to bed. The return of speedway to Shielfield happened roughly about the time the change came from uprights to lay-down engines,its certainly true that changes in engine make-ups and changes to silencers might very well have something to do with the lack of on track entertainment but just how much is up for debate,IMO not a significant amount.

The one that got away.
