TheScotsman 2,484 Posted June 13, 2016 The lad deserved it. Handled the conditions perfectly. Disappointed for cookie but King made the right decision in the final. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevH 257 Posted June 13, 2016 General question here. If we do finish say 9th or 10th in this league. Can anyone tell me the last time we finished this low down in the second tier? Presumably we would be talking early 60's or late 50's. Ipswich finished 11th in 1969 in British League Division Two as it was known at the time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spanner47 336 Posted June 13, 2016 Great to have the british champion as your no1 will he still do the pairs now hes at cardiff? I'd be very surprised if he did. Some don't bother when they're just reserves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WembleyLion 417 Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) I thought the rule was that once riders have signed on for the GP (presumably on the Friday) they are not permitted to ride elsewhere so Danny will have no choice and not be allowed to ride at Somerset if he signs on on the Friday. i guess he would have to do a Chris Harris and forego the practice.

TB1 130 Posted June 13, 2016 Hi bash. It does look like things are not rosy, but maybe only team wise. We were once in the elite league winning it, then slowly working our way towards the bottom of the league, until we finished bottom. We then entered the premier league, we started okay with good looking teams, but couldn't capitalise into decent trophies. Then just like the elite league we have now started working our way towards the bottom of the premier league. I have no answers why this is happening again and from a few posts i have read on here it seems we may only have this season to endure untit things may change. Let's hope so.

damosuzuki 696 Posted June 14, 2016 The lad deserved it. Handled the conditions perfectly. Disappointed for cookie but King made the right decision in the final. Must admit I feel the same, would love to have seen Cook when we're down at Cardiff, but with his attitude riding at Belle Vue + new tuners I think he will have a real chance of qualifying next year. As you say though, King was really classy tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smod 145 Posted June 14, 2016 Danny King will certainly be a popular winner with Berwick fans, who will doubtless give him a big welcome on Saturday night, in what will be his first match for the Witches as their British Champion. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigcatdiary 3,173 Posted June 14, 2016 The lad deserved it. Handled the conditions perfectly. Disappointed for cookie but King made the right decision in the final. I can only agree, fully deserved his win and a really nice guy as well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted June 14, 2016 has there ever been a British champ that has picked up the wooden spoon in the same year ! honest question . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kitykat 24 Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Is this the confidence boost that Daniel needs to kick on? This result must also make him a starter in the world cup team. Let's go with youth and enthusiasm. King Cook Lambert and S Worrall. Surely we have nothing to lose. Edited June 14, 2016 by Kitykat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
