Mr Blobby Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Don’t think it’ll be as easy as it may look as the diamonds have a few riders who are capable of putting in a good performance. still fancy us to win comfortably but not by as many as some may think.

Bandit59 Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) At least 2 Berwick riders will get a win bonus tonight, they'll have forgot what that is. 60. 30. Edited June 10, 2022 by Bandit59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idanthyrsus Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 Well, I've just got the live stream. Took 30 seconds from start to finish. Good job Now, onto the slaughter. I must admit I'm looking forward to the speedway, but I can't see Newcastle getting more than 35 points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idanthyrsus Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 I remember the commentator from a video of Edinburgh v Newcastle in 1992 I think. He's absolutely dreadful Jack Smith's bike packs up - the comment is "Jack's stopped", then Jacob Hook's bike packs up and it's "oh dear, oh dear. And that's so unlucky" In the 1992 commentary, Paul Bentley got wiped out by an Edinburgh rider and the commentator said "and it's the monarch out again, sometimes I wonder what the referees are watching" The commentator did say he was too blind to see the big screen. I wonder if he is to blind to see the first bend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Can the result not be awarded? What happened to boiler suits? Edited June 10, 2022 by ruffdiamond 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idanthyrsus Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) And it's abandoned... So, do i get the re-staging free on the live stream? I can't help but think this could have been avoided. The track staff were using leaf blowers to try and get the water off the track??? Why not just put some shale down, soak up the water and then scrape it off the top. Add some more dry shale on the top and the jobs a good 'un. Would take 30 minutes (about what it took anyway) and then the track would have been perfect and the second shower would have just added some water to the track to make it better. Listening to the referee. Bloody health and safety.... Edited June 10, 2022 by idanthyrsus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Blobby Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 The unfortunate shower right on 7.30. Couldn’t write it. Track was ruined after it and beyond being saved. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously where the deep stuff was it didn't look to clever, but that's where rider options come into play. That track could have been sorted in 30 minutes.
