Was quite a few riders practising down at Northside today, including Cookie and Antti Cookie looks very fast, can't imagine it'll be long until he's going through the card unbeaten
-
Yeah I saw the video of his only race, he couldn't turn the bike. Can't see him riding at Plymouth this season, his leg break was on his trailling left leg too
-
Looks like Celina Liebmann pulled out of the Italian Championships she was going to be riding in. Upon checking the results, was shocked to see a certain number 5 scoring 11 points and still riding! Maybe he can return to the comets on a 4 point average next season

Redcar v Workington, 12/ 4/2024 :- BSN Series.
Marksman replied to pvm's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Very enjoyable evening at the Ecco Arena, track was great as usual, and good craic with the Redcar fans. For the Comets it was very promising to come back from a 12 point deficit, Cookie was somewhat back to his old self, 13+1 but I think he will still get better. Tate and Antti, were exciting to watch after taking a few heats to figure out the track. Very exciting prospects, who will win a lot of races as already shown at Northside. In my opinion, we have 5 potential heatleaders in this side. All 5 had at least one heat win tonight Haven’t talked about Claus and Batch yet, but Claus is really flying isn’t he. Thought he’d be in Heat 15, but Batch had another good night Celina battles really hard, and was her best showing so far. Such a determined rider Sam Mc is only learning, just like Ben Trigger is. Some stronger 2 point reserves out there but they’ll both get there by mid season -
Poole Pirates Vs Plymouth BSN Wed 10th 7:30pm
Marksman replied to daz9100's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Correct, and if he didn't have a championship average it would be PL ave. x1.5 A guest always takes the average of the rider they are replacing, so it's why he's at No.1 -
Redcar away preview - https://cumbriacrack.com/2024/04/10/workington-comets-look-forward-to-redcar-bears-clash/ Riding order seems to have Batchelor at 5 though, which isn't the same as the Berwick home meeting

Workington Comets v Scunthorpe Scorpions 6/4/24 3pm BSN
Marksman replied to topaz325's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
The wind is brutal today down by the coast, not surprised it’s off. They could have risked it by running it, but with the many temporary structures that are in place (this is not a stadium by any means) and debris flying, who would be liable? It would be madness to run in these conditions with a much reduced crowd, having plenty of free weekends probably makes the decision easier these days. -
Edinburgh vs Glasgow 5/4/24
Marksman replied to JanAndersen's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
You must be thinking about the 2nd bend where the pits are? Will be able to walk around the whole Arena once it's filled in. -
Workington v Berwick Border Trophy 31/03/24 3pm
Marksman replied to topaz325's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
No need for the name calling, you’ve proved who the real idiot is here when you can’t check simple info. First you attack the promotion for not having a match report up straight after a meeting (try travelling back from Berwick to Workington and getting up to go to the track at 11am), then about an injury update (which is posted on socials around 3 and a half hours before the meeting) Then play dumb because you don’t check all the correct channels. The constant negativity on here is boring, and I’ll probably just give it a miss in future. Hope this is eloquent enough for you. p.s the positivity from hundreds of Facebook comments is great to see. Funny that because people post on there with a real name. Coincidence? I think not. Some of the comments on here are great, others quite obvious mickey taking, others are just damn oblivious. -
Workington v Berwick Border Trophy 31/03/24 3pm
Marksman replied to topaz325's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Stupid comment, the preview for the whole weekend was put on there on Wednesday. And all the information constantly updated on Social Media, probably one of the best out there for a small one man band kinda thing. -
Berwick VS Workington - Border Trophy - 30/03
Marksman replied to BackstaightBandit's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Yeah it was very clear from the back straight, but I bet it’s hard from that ref’s box on the strange angle they have. Was surprised at how fast Vissing was, he was the fastest rider on show. As for the others, especially Tate and Antti they were just trying to work out the track and when to shut off the throttle. The riders come into the bends so fast because of the long straights I’ve not been to Berwick for years, but can’t remember the track being that bumpy and awkward to ride. Berwick guys are clearly dialled into the lines on it, fair play and should have an unbeaten season at home. I think it’s good for speedway when sides are strong at home. Our guys will put on a good show tomorrow, hopefully Antti and Cookie they’ve came away unscathed after their falls. Craig hit the fence really hard -
Scunthorpe Scorpions V Workington Comets 29/3/24
Marksman replied to paul84's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Met office radar shows a heavy shower passing through between 4.30-5. Hope it goes ahead, I’m sure they’ll be giving it a go now -

There will be thousands more views on their Facebook page then the website gets. You don't have to use or be 'on' Social media to see the posts, it amazes me how many people don't get this. It's just a web address like the official webpage is - https://www.facebook.com/scunnyspeedway All the info you'll ever want will be on there -

Poole Pirates Vs Oxford Cheetahs BSN Good Friday
Marksman replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
The funny thing is Craig Cook had similar words on Saturday -
The only deadline is that the clubs have to log their team on the SCB portal 3 days before a meeting, hence him mentioning Wednesday. This is what he meant
-
Yep, it's mentioned in the Berwick preview - https://www.berwickspeedway.com/news/bandits-face-early-bombardment/
-
Claus is at No.3 for Sunday at home, Zischke at 2.
-
I believe that the guy who posts on this thread does commentary on it? Will probably be a 2 camera set up or something.
-
Yeah it'll most likely work on most TV's or Fire stick through the Internet app, just isn't supported. So if you did have any issues, they would wash their hands of it and say to use a computer/mobile instead
-
Yeah this '75% guest rule' is in the 2024 rulebook under no facility, so at worst Plymouth could just get a guest up to 5.87 avg. Looking at a list of these riders from what I can see aren't already riding on Saturday; Castagna Heeps Atkins Lambert Mountain Knudsen Bailey etc.
-
A lot of clubs use a company called Infinity21, it requires a steady internet upload speed. Northside has nothing yet being isolated, believe it's somewhere on the openreach/Fibrus roadmap! Berwick being in a built up area (and being a football stadium) will have ADSL lines at the very worst, so could also have card payments.
-
Answered my own question, they've updated the schedule with the 2024 fixtures streamed, good news. https://tv.scunthorpe-speedway.com/
-
The logic is they can't really go to Berwick having not even seen the track and where the racing line is and go out in Heat 1. Gives them 2 heats to visually get an idea They will both be fine, think they would both far outscore the likes of Kemp and Etheridge at Northside
