Sheffield Vs Berwick


Recommended Posts

Not looking forward to this result tonight, but I'm hoping that TJ can repeat his performance of last year in the cup and continue his recent good form, Richard Hall, being an ex-Tiger, still remembers the fastest way round, no doubt the captain will give his all as usual, hopefully the Fish will turn in a good performance and you never know.

Plus Liam is going back to the scene of his bad injury last year. Hope he gets over any lingering nerves and does himself proud. First away meeting for Cody so not expecting much from him.

iceberg wasn't that good last night at Berwick. give liam a chance in reserve for the rest of the season, unless of course iceberg has got money he is throwing Berwick,s way. felt for Berwick last night.

 

when it comes to guest riders . all riders should be cup tied or only allowed 1 guest booking for that particular club.

Berwick's team this evening is not conducive to good racing. Hall on 1 after 4 rides says a lot

Berwick have had no luck with injuries just as a few Teams this Season and they are all struggling to find riders it would appear, whether it is club finances or lack off riders want to ride in GB only the promoters themselves really know.It is all getting a it farcical now IMO .I don't like knocking the sport just for the sake off,but something radical has to be done to revive it.

The fact is that Britain especially and the sport in general is not producing enough riders. Probably because the costs are so off-putting for youngsters trying to get involved. Also looks like the doubling up rule is coming back to bite clubs. Think about it, a rider gets injured, it affects more than one club, plus any countries abroad the rider may be contracted to.

On a separate note, I was told some stories over the weekend, by one of the promotion, regarding the riders they have approached as replacements for the injured riders. Some of the demands being made are frightening. Some riders realise clubs are desperate and start quoting silly money. Really had my eyes opened.

Agree,but how can the Promotions not figure out how he sport is going downhill and do something radical .Fans just get fed up of being told were whinging about nothing and just walk away IMO .
