    Could have had fifteen home meetings Norman. Leon has been riding regularly? Utterly abysmal at Redcar a few weeks ago. Granted there may well be things going on off track. TJ at Kings Lynn? 

    Do you actually believe what you have just written?

     

    Last season when Bomber was unavailable R/R was not an option with Wright, Morris & Lawson being drafted in as guests. Having faith in your own riders is fine when they are riding their home track regularly every week but tonight weather permitting will be Bandits 6th home meeting of the season.

    There were certainly some teams expelled from the league (not necessarily the same as having a licence cancelled) in the 1980s for poor tracks/under strength teams. Barrow, Berwick nomads, Milton Keynes, Glasgow at Workington.

    All from the 1980s NL when it was run almost independently of the British League (and regarded in some circles as the best run set up in speedway).

    In 1981 the Bandits were  homeless and carried on riding home fixtures at Barrow, Workington and Glasgow before being forced to quit NL racing after a protest from Edinburgh boss Mike Parker. The Bandits were, however, allowed to defend their KO Cup, reaching the final against Edinburgh, which the Monarchs won.

    Ryan Douglas left Leicester cos they rode Saturday's when in the Champ though. That was my thinking. I'm sure some riders will be able to do Saturday. But the top end ones will prefer not to ride every Sat cos of Polish fixtures. Maybe that is why Berwick have a gap in fixtures as other teams can't get riders to commit to some Saturday's? 

    plus we are out of all cup competitions as well lol

    I want Berwick to win as much as any other fan but we have to be realistic. Oxford are a much stronger team that what we humped last season, with the additiion of Masters & Kerr backing Nicholls in a strong top 3 plus good back up in Jenkins and Atkins who is starting to come good. I think we possibly shade it at reserve with Hook who has been a good addition & Connor who has been reliable all season. Prediction Oxford 52 Bandits 38

    Any thoughts on Berwick kicking out a youngster to sign a 36-year-old ex-Elite League rider who was banned for 2 years for failing to take a drugs test?

    If Josh is going to be out for a while i would be looking at Jake Turner
