Some fantastic racing at Berwick this season so far, not just Bomber, who’s had a fantastic start to the season for Berwick and Peterborough, the two teams he actually rides for, maybe if you had a number 1 and didn’t have to borrow everyone else’s it wouldn’t matter. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think it must be a long time since you visited then, that's an old chestnut and far from true about the current track. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yours is about as awful a take as the other post. The racing at Newcastle is far from exciting, but it's a fairly decent, smooth, racing track. The racing at both tracks is pretty bland compared to most. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BWD wouldn't have been my choice as a number 1, so I'm happy to borrow any number 1 who's available to take an extra nights earnings as as we all know the cost of living these days is astoundingly high Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well it was mentioned after the team was signed and, before the season started,,, but would leave us even more below the limit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do they ride in this country currently??? Hmmm. Doesn't take much to leave us further below the limit, just need an average lower than Brad's 8... Hope it's a signing enough to tempt me back, boost speedway back up my priority list Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diamond geezer 60 Posted April 24, 2022 I feel for the lads who turn up every week and try their best for Newcastle, facts are though we are awful! This is due to the fact we are massively under strength again this season, majorly under the points limit and carrying two kiwi riders saddled with inflated aves. The only reason we aren’t being pasted at home every week is due solely to the fact we get a guest for BWD, with him I dread to think what the score lines would be. Have no complaints with other lads, but everyone is expected to be 1-2 places above where they should be in a teams 1-7 and are asked to punch above their weight. can’t see that team attracting crowds sadly. Where oh where did that £50k go? New burger van maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
