Bandits V Comets 26-08-17 @7pm
happyvalleywoolerman replied to Normski's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
I think Ian Rae is on holiday, might that be reason for different track conditions? But we enjoyed what must be our biggest victory of the season with Heat 1 giving us a real boost. About time things went well, the club deserves it. -

This announcement seems to have failed to catch the imagination. Is it going to happen? -

Actually, that was a very fair statement by this poster. -

For what is is worth, Toni Franchitti was promoter of Edinburgh Monatchs in the mid 'eighties. -

I think Crescent Girl's suggestion of Belle Vue fits the bill. -
Sgb Championship Best Pairs 2017

Lasse Bjerre will be in Denmark on a Friday if he didn't had a UK fixture logged and on the other subject if this is saved by covers added to Berwick's five successful saves this year won't it finally wake the doubters up? -
Berwick 2017 50th Year
happyvalleywoolerman replied to balderdash&piffle's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Scott Courtney told us in Saturday's programme that "communication from Lewis's doctors has been scarce, we can do nothing else but trust the information" so what more do you want? Anyway, Lewis Bridger isn't in Berwick's current 1-7, so whatever is happening isn't going to affect current scoring, and I know I was cheering when Joe Jacobs humbled Richard Lawson in Heat 1 on Saturday! -
Unfortunate timing for Coty Garcia because after 31st this month teams can't be changed. Shame for a great wee guy who did nothing wrong at Berwick, Glasgow or Redcar.

Leicester Lions Vs Swindon Robins 17/07/17
happyvalleywoolerman replied to The Observer's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
I remember Berwick using r/r and then losing both reserves in Heat 2 against Rye House a few years ago but the four remaining Berwick riders who included Nick Morris as a teenage guest won by ten points despite having only one rider in half the heats! -

Isn't there an allowance to replace injured riders after July 31? -
Sheffield V Berwick Thursday 13th July
happyvalleywoolerman replied to allthegearbutnaeidea's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Stupid post, whoever you are. Berwick have been devastated by injuries this season, yet virtually the same team as will race tonight went to Edinburgh (currently second in the table) and scored 39 earlier this month. Which is close to matching Workington and Ipswich's 40, equal to Newcastle and better than Scunthorpe (35), Redcar (34) and Peterborough (30). Plus your dig at promotion's success with covers is pointless, and suggesting the Andersons should only be remembered pies ignores the FIM meetings Sky matches and BenFund Bonanza brought to Shielfield as a result of improved track, lights and the foam-fence. -

Will it be re-staged? Up here we are following Leon Flint's progress. -
Bandits V Witches. 8th July
happyvalleywoolerman replied to havenagotahope's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Have you really read the article? We had to get the programme from the car to read the page again as neither of us had taken anything from it that he was ranting at fans. It makes a remark about promotion finding it hard to keep everyone happy and then mostly about going to Motherwell in 1954. I'm not a big fan of Dick as an announcer although there are a lot worse going about but his writing is usually very entertaining because he knows how to tell the tales. -
Edinburgh V Berwick 7th July

Not many more call-offs than Berwick have saved over the past two seasons by having covers! -

Berwick 2017 50th Year
happyvalleywoolerman replied to balderdash&piffle's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
While your points is valid in many cases there have been things outwith promotions hands like the injuries which have made it a downer this year although there have been worse seasons like 7 points from 28 matches in 2007 and how the promotion is expected to win with riders down like ninepins and a limited budget is hard. I agree the website doesn't carry news although the dirt feature is pretty good but it never did, what's missing is the newsletter. -
Too Many Non-league Meetings

Plus Ricky Wells is in Team USA and Nick Morris is out of WTC injured, so cannot ride either. -

How Do Bspa Make Their Money?
happyvalleywoolerman replied to CookieIpswich's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Forty years ago maybe so but recently clubs like Leicester and Kings Lynn were bribed to go up when Coventry and Peterboro looked like they wouldn't come under starters orders.
