screm Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 I think he means on Thursday.... Where its almost certain we will need two guests once again with Lee Payne injured and Nick Morris either still on the injury list or he will be riding for Swindon in their meeting with Belle Vue.

balderdash&piffle Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 I wasn't going to go on Saturday, bit under the weather, managed it and really glad I did. Was a really poor start from Berwick but the fight back was impressive, heat 15 showed our serious weakness. I WAS ENTERTAINED that is what it is about worth every penny of £15, a much better result than I anticipated, I was still tucked up in bed by 11.30, rare for me on a Saturday. On a different tack, was reading Dick's rant in the programme on the complaints on social media from the fan base, a bit rich from someone that has used and abused social media under his many guises for such a long time. It is unlikely that that any promotion is going to keep it's loyal fan base fully informed, as sensible as that may be. This will always lead to speculation where the wrong ideas manifest themselves. The one I hear from fans the most is the Bridger situation, seems to be for ever extending his stay of absence, at least the club made a temporary replacement. The problem here I think is many fans are aware of non speedway events that are affecting his quick return to speedway, here is a case where it would be an advantage for the club to be up front with the fans, and not leave it to speculation. Saturday night was a perfect example of the rumour mill running riot on where is Havvy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazc Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Dick Barrie is a hypocrite of the highest order always has and always will be. He comes on here preaching to the same fans he is criticising in the programme. What Dick fails to grasp is the right to have freedom of speech wether it is on here or anywhere for that matter,without the many loyal fans that pay there money unlike him there would be no club. Yes Dick another case off foot in mouth disease,I am sure your bosses will be ecstatic to see another rant at the lifeblood off the club just because it doesn't fit in with your opinion. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you really read the article? We had to get the programme from the car to read the page again as neither of us had taken anything from it that he was ranting at fans. It makes a remark about promotion finding it hard to keep everyone happy and then mostly about going to Motherwell in 1954. I'm not a big fan of Dick as an announcer although there are a lot worse going about but his writing is usually very entertaining because he knows how to tell the tales.

I was replying to a point made in a previous post who saw it differently to how you see it interpretation is different to some. But it was only a couple off weeks ago he had a pop at a Berwick fan on here,so he has previous on this type of thing. He certainly knows how to ruffle a few feathers there is no doubt about that.

You must agree however, that Dick uses his page to have a go at those who use social media to air their views, legitimate or not, as he did this week. If you take this weeks comments in isolation, then you have a point, but if you take it in the round, you do not. The hypocrisy is that he uses the same social media to air his own views under his many aliases. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Mr Barrie has told us many times, usually via his programme column, that he doesn`t do BSF and has be told about whats happening on here, So your point is a good one, he is either a hypocrite or a liar or both.
