scaramanga Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 simon lambert is now out of this meeting buxton rider ryan blacklock will take his place at berwick i will look forward to another super sonic display of riding by kyle while he is injured.. he told the worky promotion that he was fit to ride at p/boro in the cup, and he was not. if kyle rides, dont be suprised if he only does 1 or 2 heats. congrats to the bandits on beating a 5 man team. while we are on the verge of the play offs. it will only take 2 home wins for p/borro tonight by the max points (6) and pick up a pointat plymouth and workington are out.. maybe the bandits can do us a favour and sneak 1,2 or poss 3 points off the cats. and tonight mathew, i am going to be a bandits supporter...................... you always need your gusset. shouldnt use corective spell while posting via phone at work but it gives some a bit of fun dont it just Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Historically, Bandits have virtually always had a Scottish ethic, though. Nearly all the owner-promoters down through the years, the Taylor family, the Fairbairns, Peter Waite and the Andersons are Scottish, only Terry Lindon and Mike Hopes were English. To tease the question further, an independent Scotland might request "all lands north of the Tweed" be returned to their control as part of the discussion to follow next week's referendum. Leaving Tweedmouth in England, of course! Mike Hopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I formerly request that lands North of the Tweed, and lands north of Carlisle be returned to their original status, certainly up to the 12th century, The Kingdom of Northumbria which ran from the Humber to the Forth, aqnd The Strathclyde Welsh which ran up to the Clyde 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Berwick is most certainly in England, and unless our friends across the border come back and invade it will remain so for some time to come. Something I think the majority of the people are quite happy about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly did, but at a cost, IMO his time at Berwick Speedway wont be looked back upon with a whole lot of affection, though I think its fair to say some got more out of it than others.

Shadders Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Terry Linden Peter Waite was born in Castle Hills Maternity Home, that makes him English. Jesus was born in a stable, but he never ran in the Derby. It's where your blood is from, not where you were born. I was born in Bethnal Green, East London, within the sound of Bow Bells, proper Cockney, but I don't class myself as English as I have Greek blood from both parents Linden gave us something we will never have again 1st Division speedway.When it was worth having. Top league speedway is a joke now Edited September 10, 2014 by Shadders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeddiechek Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topsoil Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Good way to finish the regular season, beating a team who I thought at the start of the season would be right up there. Claus and Kevin, in particular looked fast tonight, probably the best I've seen Kevin ride for Berwick. Probably hitting his best home form at this time. Expected a lot more from Josh Grajczonek who I have seen go really well round Shielfield before. Kyle Howarth and Ricky Wells had flashes though. Nice touch to see Liam as part of the post match celebrations. Good to see he is still thought of by the promotion. Going to be a long road back for him. PS got to echo the thoughts earlier on in the thread regarding Matty Wethers. Great to see he has obviously not lost his nerve despite his horrific crash. Hopefully he will be back to full fitness soon. Just goes to show what I've thought for a long time, speedway riders are a different breed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lucan Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Poor show on the road again what has went wrong with our no 1 poor show again to night god help us if we make the play offs And what about Somerset on Friday? Disappointing result exacerbated again by another 5-1 loss in Ht15, just seems on the pure face of it that we have all but given up, we have absolutely no chance in the play offs riding like this away from home, dont know what is happening, why cant we get it together? Only two pts behind Newky, 6 available v Sheffield at home so it looks like we dont give a toss about the away fixtures just getting them out of the way with minimal effort, hope that's coz we're saving it up as it's highly unlikely we'll drop all the pts on Saturday so we will probably be the sixth team and we really are gonna need to pull our finger out to avoid totally embarrassing ourselves!! Never expected this scenario when we started, it all looked so promising!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skoobie Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 It would appear josh g is doctoring his average for next season if resent meetings are anything to go by..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Comfortable enough win over a weakened Workington side, no doubt there will be tougher meetings now the play-offs are just round the corner. Vissing was excellent, sadly the Workington No1 had an off night. It would appear josh g is doctoring his average for next season if resent meetings are anything to go by..... Though not impossible, that kind of thing is harder to do under these rolling averages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Workington as I predicted early season are a poor outfit. Hope we retain Claus Vissing with maybe Jason Bunjan who should really give us some strength in Heats 2,7,11,14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 just like to remind all worky followers that newcastle are NOT our main rivals for the final 6th place. p/borro are. they have a home tie against rye and an away fixture at pltmouth , so by getting 4 points at plymouth they push us out of the play offs. gut we still have to gain all home points available. to us. FORGET NEWCASTLE, LOOK OUT FOR THE PUDDY CATS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
