Robinh88 Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) Berwick's best chance in terms of crowds is always those 1st couple of matches. Was away in Cornwall on the opning weekend but the product against Edinburgh and Glasgow was very poor one on a heavy track the other with Seb Alden coming off, very unlike Seb against the Tigers. I missed Glasgow's return and going by the updates 14 races were FTG. I remember back in 2000 I was listening in to some Hull fans who were saying the Elite League racing was not all that great normally being over the 2nd bend. Big and narrow track was Hull and we have the same issue. The higher the standard the poorer the racing will be if Robin Aspegren makes the start and gets on the highline around Berwick no one in the world is passing him Holder Sayfutdinov or even Jade Mudgway they are the best of the best they wouldnt pass Robin I dont think It's a tricky one our track shape is a burden we have, and I our racing product doesn't shout outtoo people to come back Edited September 30, 2012 by RobinH88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wjm Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 If we run in the Premier league i think it might be along the lines of 1.Ricky Ashworth 2.Facundo Albin 3.Kozza Smith/Lee Complin 4.David Bellego 5.Seb Alden 6.Alex Edberg 7.Nikki Barrett Might not be what everyone wants but might be what we get. That is a pretty logical, and decent side. Its still far too early to say, but it will be interesting to see how the sides that manage to run line up next year, I would imagine you will get sides structured a lot closer to the Edinburgh, Rye and Sheffield sides of this season.

If it's National League Liam Carr,Jade Mudgway,Jade's wee brother,+4 others from somewhere. Might not be what everyone wants but might be what we get!! If we can't afford to run at all Crap Saturday night telly. Might not be what everyone wants but Mr Anderson is making a few realisic comments in the programme re crowds/finances. Suppose we'll find out in the fullness of time You are probably right, but heres how I would go. 1. Ashworth 2.Bellego 3. Aspergren 4.Vaclav Milik 5.Alden 6.Edberg or Dyer 7. Barret A genuine No1 2 strong reserves a back up for Ashworth in Alden ( could easily be other way around), strong 2nd strings home & away, a new signing who is already looking impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 7 man team though Tourettes we dont sign 7 man teams. If we did would have the crowds to make it viable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch Me If You Can Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 7 man team though Tourettes we dont sign 7 man teams. If we did would have the crowds to make it viable? Genuine concerns all round as we read and hear. Suppose you could take it back to 6 man teams and cut costs with 39 point limit? You just wonder how many teams will be Premier League in 2013 and cant see it being 13? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately too much 43.43 (with Milik in), but would fit with Albin, (if he came in on a 5). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to get to the end of the season before we think anything regarding next season, that way will will have the correct Green sheet averages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to judge Albin on what we seen ,but he will have another season in Argentina before next season so he could improve significantly in the close season" who knows" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backless Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 The fact is that Edberg is likely to always be kicking around at reserve, even more so with rolling averages, when a bad month isn't enough to bomb a rider's average. Just as likely, he'll be the lower reserve and, as sure as eggs is eggs, that'll set up 6-8 weeks with an NL Guest. Albin on a 5.0 average would be at least as ridiculous as Sike & Mudgway (anywhere except Shielfield on occasion). The promotion can either take 2013 seriously in their attempts to put bums on seats, or be friendly about it all - and pay for that privilege. The signing of either or both will show the latter.

emilali Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I think signing Albin immediately shows there is no real ambition to finnish nearer the top than bottom of the PL. I know there asking for more fans to go along, why not put out a good team and they might? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think signing Albin immediately shows there is no real ambition to finnish nearer the top than bottom of the PL. I know there asking for more fans to go along, why not put out a good team and they might? I would dispute that it lacks ambition, but it is a gamble . The rules of speedway means that Promotions have to take a chance and find riders who might be a future prospect in the sport and bring them in on a low average.The sport needs a radical shake -up IMO. How can you predict how Albin will fare and least he is young and keen which is a better gamble than a Jason King type signing. I have always maintained the "averages" are killing the sport and I stick by that statement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
