Personally I always enjoyed the variety that speedway offered...team, individual, pairs.

I seem to be in a minority, but thought it was a decent meeting. Passing in at least half the heats.

Hate to think what the consequences would have been there without an airfence. Quite possibly saved Freddie's career and more...

Happy retirement spud How bad is the racing these days at Berwick, that’s twice we’ve been in just over a month and you’d be hard pushed to remember any sort of race.

Sure that would be a curry out service

It’s not a specialist track,it’s just a gaters track,most riders don’t have trouble getting round.

Brilliant gesture and Tony Jackson (last Worky manager to win the treble) is coming over and when I offered him a ticket for free he said thanks but I would rather buy one to help the club which was another fantastic gesture... Regards THJ

Yeah, working wonders that..

Isnt that what we do have? So, as the thread title suggests... No change next year then....

The track has been altered the straits were widened so not such a tight entrance to corners,still only 1 racing line though because the riders are going so fast on a slick track.It’s really just a gaters paradise ,mark your programme at the end of the back straight 1st lap.All the action is on the 1st and 2nd bend.

Yes, looks like you are right. If points difference is still used when deciding who is above who when level on points? It could be on points scored? However if it is points difference then Glasgow currently on +88 and Poole are +192.

Thanks for posting. That's class from Josh.

Maybe Nicki Pedersen has the right idea. Brace for impact, fall, wait for red lights, get up once exclusion light comes on. walk back to pits with helmet off if he is in the re-run. sometimes taking a dive is for the best result for the lead rider. It can be said "He could have stayed on" but for what reason? A rider is leading only for a desperate lunge inside him then the charging rider forces him to stand his machine up & head to the fence then watch the other two riders pass as he regains control & continues metres behind. So many times a rider has to go down for a race to be stopped. So why should a rider ever try to stay on if he believes he has been unfairly passed?

It must have been a better quality of a meeting from Vojens because in a weird sort of way it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. For sure there was some boring races, but first corner action was often good and those that wanted to chase and pass did, but with current points system chasing hard in heats 13-20 is not always worth it if you scored well in your first 3 rides. Not the first time has Emil took a dive, yet others later stayed on when in similar situation. Glad to see Freddie on his feet, just hope it wasn’t him in that report of an ambulance with blue lights leaving shortly after the meeting.

There are crashes that make you just want to turn the tv off and that was one of them ...i really did fear the worst and thank god they got up .. scary

Well to be fair I think it will be a close one 47 - 43 or 46 - 44 but no idea which way... the Diamonds need to show the same spirit they did against Glasgow and we could pull off another surprise... However this could be the 3rd last ever meeting at Brough and the fans need to turn out in numbers to show the Promotion that the sport isn't a lost cause in Newcastle and I don't mean thousands although that would be very nice... but the bigger the turn out 650/750/850 say then this will make the Promotion think again... Regards THJ

That’s a different Planet though.

Sheffields home Sunday meeting v Kings Lynn isn't sheduled until September 26th as today is the 10th is Poole 15 days in the future down on the south coast

Mountain should qualify, he's only just turned 24. I digested the signings now tonight think Lawson is worth a gamble even though he's on a highish average now. Jorgensen should move on now good at home poor away same as previous seasons

Would tell me there is no reconstruction happening and going to have same old double up and down rubbish

When you see the repeated dross that’s served up in the GP,s this year it’s not hard to see why people are giving up on it, if going forward Eurosport put this on subscription channels I can think of a few more that won’t bother including me.
