Realistically Lynn won't be making the play-offs, but 2 defeats by Sheffield would increase their slim chances. If I was a Lynn fan, I wouldn't want my riders guesting for a play-offs rival. If Belle Vue were missing a rider & needed a guest, I'd be encouraging them to score as many as possible! -
Just looking at the Berwick averages on the British speedway website. See Reid is above Jordan. Will possibly mean when Berwick are at Plymouth in the cup that Jordan will be at reserve. Well done to the Berwick, Edinburgh and neutral fans for the Ben fund total. -
Even if Sheffield ran without guests for their remaining 4 meetings they would most likely finish in front of Lynn. The best you can possibly end the season on is 25 points. To do that you have got to beat Leicester home and away, having already lost both legs of the R1 fixtures, and win away at Northampton which you failed to do in R1. Sheffield are on 20 points and more than likely going to take 3 from the Northampton home fixture, and would probably beat Belle Vue at home even if they ran with R/R for Holder. Having missed the 2022 playoffs through injury, Fricke has obviously decided that he may as well get settled in with his 2026 play off team early to give himself a good chance of a medal. 😉 -
Sums up succinctly why the sport is not credible in the UK and it needs to reinvent itself and stop pretending that it should be a full time occupation for riders when the club owners treat it as a hobby and it is about time some riders got the message. Most are not good enough to justify it as a full time job where you want to earn over six months an annual salary. Those riders gracing the UK tracks are simply not good enough to qualify as speedway professionals but are OK to race having honed certain skills but that does not justify the riders demands. Go back to part time and stop expecting everyone to owe you a living. -
There has been a big step forward. Something has just clicked this year. The social media side, the racing. Interaction between crowd and riders, the chance of actually winning something. It’s a pleasure to watch and be part of. We are all so quick to criticise but credit where it’s due, and it is due. Well done to all at Berwick. And it’s not done yet. -
Crowd levels has certainty been good and there is an atmosphere in the ground this season,the racing has certainly been more entertaining IMO.
