If Greaves averages more keep him, if not - he goes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Busch is absolutely garbage away from home. Greaves has far more potential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cleary the promotion had no issue with him otherwise they would have dropped him....he has been excellent for the Bears - I just don't see the rush to axe him when he has done little wrong.

It's to be hoped Summers turns up in the right mood then, he's been very up and down for Berwick, Auty on the other hand has looked much better this season, it would be nice if he starts to fulfil the promise of his early racing days.

Thornaby48 48 Posted June 17, 2018 I would much rather see one guest, rider replacement and where possible give the number 8 a ride ,so that I am watching my team rather than a championship league select. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely you would rather watch two seven man teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fans refuse to go when they’ve had to use a NL guest in place of a heatleader and now you’re refusing coz they’ve found a like for like replacement, can’t please everyone, if I were a fan, Id rather turn up and see 2 suitable guests in place of the heatleaders than a NL replacement meaning they are a lot weaker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thornaby48 48 Posted June 22, 2018 Last night, against Peterborough i saw Dimitri berge ride for the first time. Apart from his first ride he was excellent and seems to like riding wide. Now, partner him with a rider who likes to ride tight and we have the ideal pairing for team riding which is not only a joy to watch but is also a potential 5-1, or at worst a 4-2. In heat 12 he was paired with Nathan greaves and for a while they were team riding until Dm sped off and we had a 4-2. I remember the crazy Jack Millen ( now, there was a showman who was a great rival of Frank auffret ) team riding with Dave gatenby at Sunderland to great effect. I am sure that speed way as a spectacle would benefit if more team riding took place rather than riders just taking off leaving their partner behind. Obviously it wouldn't always work but worth a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
