Is that enough to make them pull out all the stops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they look like they were trying at all? And I bet it wont be 45-50.. Only 90 point up for grabs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces51 Posted September 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) Bewley is a tremendous loss and Worrall is not yet back to his pre injury form but Cook is almost back to his best. It will be close but I think we can win. Even a draw will do, we need only one point from tonight or tomorrow to qualify.

ZagarRacing Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Somerset will be far too strong for Belle Vue this evening, leaving the door open for Swindon to nick 4th place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZagarRacing Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 What would Kings Lynn, Somerset and Poole consider weaker, a team without Dan Bewley or a team containing Jack Smith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are right but you are still a TROLL who has no affinity for Swindon speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to look up the definition of troll. This is a speedway forum, criticising rider form etc is part and parcel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he was riding for Workington when hurt, there are of course precedents for a collection tomorrow at Belle Vue ---- but might this latest trend of crowdfunding pages for an injured rider, in addition to his regular speedway insurances and a crowd collection be a little bit over the top? What is the BenFund for? (I realise there will be loud cries of outraged indignation over this post, but just saying) Agree, and the amount raised so far since the gofundme page was set up says it all. Now his injuries are known to not be life threatening or career ending these funding pages are way way over the top. We ALL know injuries happen and are expected in this sport. It's par of the course. Yes we are sorry for Dan as we are for any other rider, but unless injuries are life changing, these funding pages should be banned and used for what they were originally designed for. It's even worse though that some rider's use these funding sites for buying equipment. Best wishes to Dan and he comes back stronger in 2019. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone sets up a funding page and others support it and contribute then that is down to them. If you choose not to contribute then that is down to you but banning them is OTT imho. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're entitled to your opinion but nobody forces anybody to contribute and obviously a lot of people have decided that they want to help and support Dan. It's entirely up to you if you don't. Those contributing are not causing any harm or problem to those who don't wish to so why would you want to deny them that opportunity. These days too many people want to force their opinions on those who disagree and this seems to be another example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna give this funding thing a bash myself then, due to ill health I've had to give up my job of 25yrs service. See if I can get others to pay for my lifestyle.

Why not give it a go, I mean you're such a compassionate fella with a benevolent attitude, surely people will be queuing up to help you out in your hour of need. As others have said it's all about choice, don't want to give, don't give, it's that simple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
