We were well beaten by the team that gated better ,If you are happy with that then fair enough. But don’t give it the Violin rubbish Basso is a racer as you well know but if the track doesn’t allow that then he is pissin against the wind.

I agree but continue to do that and we wont beat anyone like this over 2 legs in the play offs. Fairness doesn't get results. Tonight was about gating not racing, I was getting bored watching on TV but Poole got a 12 point win and the fans looked like they were going home happy. Could we pull back 12 points at home if this was a 2 leg affair. No chance IMO, our track is too fair.

I know a few of the Cheetahs are from downunder but you can't really call us OZford

Next time there down, perhaps instead of playing eye of the tiger,they should play something by the bay city rollers

Hardly "second season syndrome" he's had a fantastic year & having one disappointing match doesn't change that

Seems to be the theme in speedway if a rider like Jonas is doing well they will end up at Glasgow the following season. Hopefully, his friendship with the Flint family will see him take the sensible route and remain at Berwick in 2023.

Ostergaard got away with a huge roller. Lawson was well pissed and got straight in the phone. Crowd were shouting at ref throughout heat and afterwards. Ridiculous miss.

Sarah 2023 ?

Interesting to read the view points of the track when one particular Poole fan slammed Berwick for the limited amount of passing... Oh the hypocrisy!

Poor meeting overall, hyper slick track with almost no passing. Had hoped to see better.

Pretty sure he will be on the plane to Poland Sunday morning

54 - 36 to Poole I fear.

R/R for both number ones, eurgh.

You only have to look at Google Maps and the adjacent development to the showground to see the intensity of the housing. The Grandstand, pits, track and backstraight areas are roughly 150m x 200m. Overlay that on any part of the housing, and you'll see 40-50 homes.

F1 doesn't have a track operating in London either, but still gets plenty of attention. The 'mass media' is much less important than it once was. Few under the age of 50 read newspapers or even watch mainstream TV these days, so the opportunities are there for sports that can gain attention through other channels. The problem of course, is that speedway is largely followed by people well over 50 and unfortunately has been unable or unwilling to address that underlying issue for the past 20-30 years. Just as an example, any sport of any credibility has an app where you can get news and live results, but does British speedway? The SGP now has one which is a start, but even that's somewhat lame (e.g. its developers are apparently unable to even make a proper logo for it).

Green Sheets are not a reflection of this season, because they still include some from 2021. Averages are updated regularly now, showing Home, Away & Overall for 2022. Note that the Green Sheet figures are updated as soon as the referee's official scorecard is available, so will not reflect the current month (and don't forget that the number of matches used for the GSA will reduce by 2 for August): https://britishspeedway.co.uk/2022-rider-statistics/

A bit like all your trolling (Waits patiently for guaranteed response as Trackprat has to have the last word!)

He will be the first sportsman in history who finishes bottom and second botton in two leagues who also qualifies for winners and runners up medals in the same competitions... "How did you do this year Bomber?".. "Finished bottom".... "And first"... "And second".... "And third... "And fourth, and fifth and sixth as well"..

Yes, if the team manager was more aware / ruthless, Berwick could have come away with a draw!

If Alex is learning from Dale Allitt, it would explain why the team are where they are now. Bottom of the league.

Good to see there is so much interest in this cup thingy! Brum to get home win?

I was bored, so did a bit of research into which clubs are getting the best performances from their riders based on Championship averages compared to Premiership averages. List below... Prem Champ Diff Leon Flint 3.22 7.05 -3.83 Joe Thompson 1.85 5.44 -3.59 Jye Etheridge 4.72 8.00 -3.28 Danyon Hume 3.61 6.85 -3.24 Ben Barker 5.30 8.44 -3.14 Drew Kemp 3.50 6.63 -3.13 Jordan Palin 2.27 5.36 -3.09 Jordan Jenkins 1.07 4.14 -3.07 Scott Nicholls 5.44 8.50 -3.06 Richard Lawson 6.93 9.62 -2.99 Cameron Heeps 2.40 5.10 -2.70 Kyle Howarth 7.13 9.38 -2.25 Hans Andersen 5.97 8.19 -2.22 Anders Rowe 2.86 5.00 -2.14 Lewis Kerr 5.63 7.53 -1.90 Erik Riss 6.92 8.78 -1.86 Craig Cook 6.93 8.64 -1.71 Richie Worrall 7.45 9.00 -1.55 Charles Wright 7.76 9.26 -1.50 Nick Morris 7.87 9.30 -1.43 Jack Thomas 4.23 5.50 -1.27 Benjamin Basso 6.81 8.07 -1.26 Ulrich Ostergaard 6.13 7.38 -1.25 Connor Mountain 4.94 6.13 -1.19 Tom Brennan 6.28 7.45 -1.17 Ryan Douglas 8.29 9.44 -1.15 Chris Harris 8.54 9.58 -1.04 Stefan Nielsen 4.34 5.37 -1.03 Danny King 6.77 7.70 -0.93 Steve Worrall 8.47 9.28 -0.81 Michael Palm Toft 6.92 7.70 -0.78 Josh Pickering 8.49 9.13 -0.64 Troy Batchelor 6.86 7.41 -0.55 Sam Masters 10.03 10.44 -0.41 Adam Ellis 7.74 8.13 -0.39 I think you can forgive some of the younger riders, but pretty disappointing from the likes of Barker and Nicholls being over three points down. (averages taken from the most recent issue of Speedway Star)

Spot on Ray C. That Shovlar guys comments make no sense at all. Entertainment is the key.

Listen... I was on call for work till 10pm.... The grip of euphoria at seeing that result live... plus the switch from IPhone to android meant my fat fingers pressed the wrong button! Anyways... Get back to celebrating!

Highlighting this for future reference write us off at your peril.

Gaters paradise good win for us good crowd just poor speedway .

It is clear that we try to place our emphasis on entertainment firstly by preparing a track to race on. That track was prepared for the home team which isn’t a criticism it is there choice but it was to the detriment of entertainment. I know which track I would rather watch.

Superb team effort!!! We should enjoy Bomber and Jonas whilst we have them.. no doubt the teams with big money will be in for them for 2022! Theo... What a turn around the last couple of meetings .. that's the Theo we know! Bloody good to see! Ricky has had a hard time of things lately but again he was more competitive tonight which is encouraging as a whole for us! Leon has taken to the 2nd heat leader role like a duck to water! He really is coming of age! Nathan is probably kicking himself for his come offs but he scored a very very valuable point in heat 12! Jye.. thank the lord it wasn't his shoulder! He was making some good gates and mixing it more. A good performance from Spud tonight for the Cheetahs... Hopefully we see him replicate that this coming Saturday! All in all... I am over the moon

We were last out the gate in most heats

Good to see the track doctoring sorry practice session work so well. But seriously is it normally as bad as that , slick track = shi*e meeting Brennan trying an outside line and goes backwards. And here was me naively thinking it was supposed to be entertainment.

Probably be a typical bandits away result ,but we live in hope lol

no, it hasn't but i just thought with the recent fashion for smaller tracks...the original one was small enough though

Certainly a bit warm in Sturminster Marshall!!

Luxury coach ?? Is that a bus with posh seats ??

Wrong type of fence, The Northside fence is wire fastened to upright light metal poles which is suitable for speedway, especially on the bends with the air fence cushioning the impact of a rider and bike. Stock tracks need a sturdier type of fence using Armco, which is bolted to upright metal spikes, cemented into the base. Same as motorway barriers. Scunny has that type of fence embedded into the bank at the back. For the stocks, the deflated airfence is slung over to be behind the Armco, to save damage.

The issue is 2 out of 3 HLs are riding well. (A different one struggles each time!) Our team is not built to carry a HL so that just puts pressure on Drew and the Cook boys. The away meeting at Berwick is the first time in a while all 3 HLs got 10 or above.

Capacity is 2,000 - although it will increase once all the work on the stadium has finished. They've sold out a few fixtures I believe (Scunthorpe, Poole and Glasgow come to mind), and have been close to capacity on most of the others. Redcar at home in the league was probably the worst crowd of the season.

Ii think your team maybe stronger than at the moment gating wins races at Poole . that's why I said danyon would bgo well tonight .all I hope we see a decent meeting win or lose

I know Bewley had said he wanted to ride the British Final this year, and Adam Ellis also confirmed Bewley would be riding on the podcast. Guessing it was just the official confirmation that Dan didn't know about, so I doubt it was a big surprise to him. Still a bit weird that he found out that way, though. Guessing that shows the levels of organisation!

There is a big difference between racing at number 6 compared to number 7. If every Champ side had to put their weakest rider at 7 (like Prem teams have to) then he'd at least get another heat against the opposition number 7. Signing a 2.00 rider at number 6, like Coles, means the most you can expect from them is 1 or 2 points imo

If the club got their finger out their a$$ & make 2-3 changes King's Lynn may not be (unbelievably) a million miles from top 4. Facing Wolves on Thursday to which has to be a home win. This home meeting brings last chance saloon, being 12 points behind the opposition. With a good home win this will come down to 9 with 2 meetings in hand. To the King's Lynn management, FOOKIN DO SOMETHING FFS. It actually doesn't matter if the changes make the team worse, at least it'll look like you've tried to do something positive, FOR THE FANS The team needs freshening up asap

Alex is a very long term King's Lynn Speedway fan and fan of speedway in general, he is one half of our main team sponsors, Minors and Brady, so a successful businessman with the attributes that go with it. When Peter Schroek lost his job I believe Alex was asked if he wanted to take on the job, obviously becoming main team sponsor he was more than interested in team fortunes, he learnt some of the ropes from Rob Lyon and Dale Allitt and is still learning I guess you could say ....

Almost looks like the old time cinders!!

Didn't know Northumberland was part of Scotland

Pickering

T

perhaps it's as well as the summer trophy as there doesn't seem to be any Speedway between the Beginning of August until the end of October... will her maj be presenting the trophy?

Second Chargers crowd was in half term week and was nearer 1000 than 500. In any case, it was several hundred higher than the first Chargers meeting and the Oxford promotion were extremely pleased by the size of the crowd.

I don't mean any disrespect. But I feel putting this issue on an open public forum is not going to help you at all. Can I suggest that you make contact with the BSPA and/or Oxford speedway direct as they will be the only ones who can possibly assist you with this.
