Normski Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Well after a 3 week break we welcome back our last opponents, this time in a League Fixture the Lions from Leicester. Team news from our website Berwick using r/r for NBJ due to illness, while the Lions go like for like replacing the injured Richie Worrall with his lookalike Steve. Shelby Rutherford at Number 7 for the Lions. Heard on Swedish Speedway last night a busload of Lions fans coming up for this meeting which is good to see. Going to be a tough meeting they will be confident after there last visit here. My predictions have been not bad this season so 45-45.

Sings4Speedway Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Same Rutherford who can't make the trip to Plymouth tonight? Shouldn't be allowed to take guest bookings if you cannot fulfil your own fixtures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't debate that but its a riders choice if they wish to participate in racing or not. Far to often the peripheral clubs like Plymouth get partial visiting teams due to excuses.

He used 1 of the few holiday leave days he had accrued to make the trip to Plymouth in June that was rained off .. He only has a few days owing to him which he has scheduled around his race commitments and as much as he wanted to not let the club down by not making the trip , He couldnt get an unpaid day off either as other people where on holidays .

We have been there twice 4 days holiday £220 each time in fuel £80 travel lodge and using up day like that means we might not get there for next one as not got many days left to take 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Away win for me by something similar to the cup semi a few weeks ago. I think lack of race winners will be our un-doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Unsure on this weeks rules but would Berwick have the option of using a guest for Jakobsen, that IMO would've been the better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they can use a guest as he is in Top 3 of our averages. 7.27 to play with at home with the 5% allowance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had we had a guest at Scunny would have been a different outcome, 2pts from NBJ rides he scored paid 15 there last season albeit from reserve.

Could it maybe be the case that in return for agreeing a points money cut this season the riders were told they could get extra rides from r/r when the opportunity was there.Saves the promotion paying for a guest and gives the riders a chance to earn some extra points money.No idea if it happened that way but it would be fair to all.

Very possible but with low/dwindling crowds a home defeat wont do anything to help things. As others have said its pretty much all about home meetings.

It certainly looks like a cost saving excercise and it shows how tough things must be. Use of RR will be lot less costly than a guest, with higher points money no doubt and travel, but they need a guest away for certain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
