If it's ftg then it's the usual 3-2-1 but for each opposing rider you pass(who is under power) and stay in front of you get an extra point? Could/might just be easier to simplify the starting procedure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of tractor racing, god knows why as it's mostly gate & go. The tracks too narrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the second meeting is curtailed due to a curfew it makes the bandits chances of winning increase from pretty certain to dead certain. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rene Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 George Dodds, you seem to know all the answers about admission prices, etc. We have one of those family and friends tickets from the rained off Glasgow match which included two programmes. Can you tell me how much we would have to pay and the position regarding replacement programmes? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normski Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Berwick meetings normally run quite slick. With having a guest and not r/r saves time, as not always having to give time for a rider who has 2 heats in a row. Depending what happens at Ashfield and Armadale on Friday and provided we pick up 6 on Saturday, next Wednesday could be a very important fixture at Birmingham. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a bit worried about assuming 6 points on Saturday.We have a guest who is not the best gater on a track which might not be the best for passing.His own team is also pushing for a play off place so will he be under a wee bit pressure from his own promoter to hold back a bit.He is good to watch though - usually!
