Think it’s because of the tracks location and the time it would take for a ambulance to get hope Connor is not too badly injured 🤞🤞

Dale wood could be a good guest over the weekend !

I’m not sure win at all costs is in our repertoire. Take an available advantage when we can yes as would anyone. I don’t think many existing fans, newcomers or even tigers left feeling shortchanged last night. There wasn’t much overtaking but there was plenty entertainment. I spoke with diamonds fans that will be coming back and a couple from Germany who are following Leon who might not be back and tigers who follow the team everywhere. All were smiling. Crowd seemed ok to me. Back straight had a few gaps but the main stand had people searching for seats.

A lot more than 2 and a bit points, in the short term would rather have a guest for Vinnie, but unfortunately Jamie is out of his depth and needs replacing sooner rather than later

When Max Perry rode for Leicester Lions Cubs when Comets joined the NDL in 2023 I had him down as a rider who had the qualities to go further eg good on the bike, a trier all the way to the flag with a bit of a racing instinct. Somehow he seems to have lost his way having been dropped by Poole very quickly in 2024 and then what was probably a pressure year in 2025 at Glasgow who were chasing silverware on more than one front. Many people consider him a weak reserve after his last two seasons but I would certainly be inclined to give him a chance if a like for like replacement for Jamie Etherington is being sought. Oh and just out of interest his scores for Glasgow at Berwick lsst season were 8 in the BSN and 9 in the Championship, granted he never repeated those feats often enough.

Think one problem with Sheffield is the limited viewing areas - most tracks there are fans dotted around the entire track to take applause from. That said it never used to bother riders in the past

@SteelShoe the professor/ scientist of track preparation 😜🤣. Hope your gonna get your lawnmower out this week people are complaining from afar 😜🤣

Sacrifice entertainment for silverware , win at all costs and all that ? Fair enough, each to their own, but when fan numbers drop you'll have the answer to why already. For Berwicks 1st meeting of the season and fair weather the crowd was less than great, I'd be more concerned about how to get more fans back rather than how to bore off your current remaining fans.

I had expected that to be the case. I know it hasn’t gone unnoticed by the club. Back straight has been an issue for a long time, entrance end of the grandstand has been getting worse since you handed the reins over to Greg. If some other supporters of all the clubs that use the system want to get together and look at funding updated equipment I’d happily be part of that.

I would imagine this will continue throughout the season in terms of tracks being slick when Bomber visits. Yes it was slick but at least it was safe unlike Redcar.

Loudspeaking system at Shielfield is (unfortunately) in the control of football club. Has been for many years. Every effort by various speedway promotions to improve or augment it have been largely unsuccessful. Speedway has an excellent sound input unit, good-quality microphones and other good gear -- but the sound still has to pass through, and out of, the stadium's speakers, which speedway can't access.....

I heard, not over the PA, that it's two separate systems.

What would connor coles come in on? Can gate somewhat well which would get him a couple of pts at northside early on

We don't need a superstar reserve just a couple who can score a few points It's always nice to have a good reserve in case a rider in top 5 takes a knock

Club legend Nicolai Klindt named as captain.

It was forecast for showers so I think the track was prepared intentionally dry. I don’t think they expected to have to do much watering. Regardless it worked to the home advantage which is always the aim. just to add the track team know exactly what bomber likes as they did spend a year preparing the track for him, so well done to them for their part in nullifying that threat.

I’ll go with your original prediction, 60-30.

Never really been impressed with Ben Morley.

And if you need me to step in and sort it out I’m available until 10pm

Feathers all over the place

Did you have your hearing aid in. Your forever leaving it at home

If an air ambulance turns up it don’t sound good
