Exactly the reason why wearing Diamonds gear sticks in ya crop. It's like he is mocking the fans and has no sympathy for the loyal fans.

Time for a bit of honesty from the club

He wouldn’t have time, he is too busy up Grants back end.

Plymouth have got 2 guest riders

Well they are listed in the line ups so are riding. This is a match. Belle Vue need to make a statement. Ipswich come here looking for a point. And they could get it. one things for sure. It’s going to be a great meeting with good weather. School holidays are on. So hoping for a healthy crowd for the club

Our opponents were disappointing but let's not disparage them. That was a team that achieved a point at Armadale only 24 hours previous .. granted they had Leon guesting at number 1 scoring big points Bomber and Leon were simply sublime.. 2 of the easiest maximums you will ever see at Berwick.. and that was including Bombers phenomenal heat 13. In the form they are, especially if Leon is able to ride in the pairs, you've surely got to look at them as dark horses! Paid 9 from Theo and paid 17 from our guest superb guest in Jordan Jenkins is the sort of back up that wins you meeting in these fashions! Nathan looked like he could've been in for a good night... The ground he'd made up before clipping Harry McGurks back wheel showed he clearly had the speed .. just glad to see him get up from what was an alarming spill! Thank the lord he managed to get himself off the bike! A good win on the night for both Berwick teams sent the fans home happy!

Thank you for your response Brian, great to hear from someone who is more knowledgeable on these matters than from those who are so dismissive & yet know little about the facts.

Many present day speedway people seem to have distorted ideas about the history of Birmingham Speedway. The "blame" for the 21 year delay in bringing speedway back to the City cannot be attributed to the City Council, but rather to the intransigence of the then owners of not just the Brummoies current home venue, but that of the owners or controllers of the various alternative venues within the City which were explored. The then owner of Perry Barr Stadium, Maurice Buckland, made no bones about his attitude - he wou;d not have speedway back at his stadium at any price - and until he sold out to the GRA in 2004, he never wavered from this stance. Hall Green Stadium, also owned by the GRA until its demolition, were more accomodating, but casual enquiries convinced them that it would be impossible to secure planning permission due to the venue's close proximity to housing. Bordesley Green, not then owned by the Council although it was eventually taken over by the authority, also produced numerous excuses for rejecting approaches to restore speedway there, both on the original track and on a proposed new track on a different part of the site. In fact, the only involvement with the Council was an enquiry about the possibility of the speedway club using Salford Stadium, the City Council having had other offers which they felt were mpre appropriate. True, there was an initial difficulty in securing a planning consent for Perry Barr and it was at first refused on the casting vote of the Chairman of the Planning Committee, but a second application was emphatically approved. As far as the Alexander Stadium being a potential Grand Prix venue is concerned, the stadium is primarily an athletics site and is the headquarters of Birchfield Harriers, but is wholly owned by Birmingham City Council and it has been widely reported that the Council are anxious to justify the vast amount of money which they have spent on developing it, by finding more commercial uses for it. I don't believe that Birmingham City Council is in any way "anti-speedway" and it is my opinion that were a serious offer made to use it for a Grand Prix, the Council would certainly consider it. As the organisation of the Grand Prix meetings is outside the remit of the Speedway Control Bureau and the BSPL, any approach would have to come from those who now promote this competition, but the stadium is there, it has the capacity, and if they want it, they could go for it.

Do you know much about Birmingham Council? It took Tony Mole 21 years to persuade them to allow domestic speedway in a stadium lots may call its 'ancestral home'. The Alexander stadium rebuild has cost the earth and the locals have lost a great park too. So I very much doubt they'd allow those dirty smelly noisy bikes anywhere near it....unfortunately. Unless someone can persuade them that lots of of troublef free ££££'s are likely to flow into the hotel and transport systems......hmmm could be something in it, but they'd have to be talking big bucks for the council I'd suspect.

Some cracking juniors in Poland.. Quite a few seem to be able to lower the colours of GP stars..

Not only that but really and truly I’m sure they’ll have less people in because bar Harris and basso I’m sure it’ll be a very one sided event, people won’t and shouldn’t part with there cash too watch a mediocre make shift team

For sure not expecting a win as such, but 100% our mentality going into to every meeting now is that we can and are trying to win that meeting, home and away. batch been getting better and better lately, tungate an unknown but went well at nss when he was a home rider, and the track most similar to the continental tracks he’s been riding all year so it’s the best track for him to return to uk speedway at I’d say. real shame this meeting isn’t being televised

Things could've all been different if Steve Park had been a better negotiator then. Bah

Looking for a point!!!!????? We’re coming looking for a win mate!

I thought the referee got that call right, IMO Jenkins tried an outside pass and ran out of room.

Jenkins wasn't taken off, he tried to go round Kasper, got in the deep stuff and slid off. He also got away with one when he took off Ben Morley in heat 8. Both meetings reminded me of the National League in the 70/80's when Southern teams would come up and at the end of a tour be stuck with injuries and get hammered. Same when Berwick used to go to the likes of Eastbourne and Mildenhall and regularly get 60 put on them even in 13 heats.

But that's a comedy show that doesn't pretend to take itself seriously...

pretty much the same with most clubs why would they not bring play off forward and run them in decent weather rather than a wet september/october

Your obviously close to Lewi. If they had stuck by you for 10 years despite your form hasn't been the best. Then you had £1000's from a testimonial. Left before the parade on our last win.... Has said he was relieved to go. Why not step down??. I think a professional should of done the right thing. We all know last years collarbone didn't play up for a day . Why not ride your last meeting, say thanks to the fans, ride your arse off to show them they made a mistake??

Don’t think it’s too long now till members of the crowd are asked to ride

Plus the main thing is that racing against faster (the fastest) riders makes him go faster and facing them week in week out means its sink or swim. Both he and Lambert have gone to a different level since riding in that league regularly.

But would he have progressed at the rate he has without an Extraliga spot? Doubtful I'd say. The top division in Poland is the place to be if you have aspirations of being and becoming world class, the sooner Brennan can get himself there the better for his development

Is that you or Nathan Norman.!!

Nathan Stoneman seems to have suffered a broken shoulder blade riding for Berwick, best wishes for a full and speedy recovery, put in sterling effort all season for both Oxford teams.

You mean replacing spectators with empty space is all part of the plan! Is this the only plan that has existed for more than one year?

The hospital has confirmed that I have broken my left scapula, so it’s now going to be a little while on the sidelines! Thank you to everyone at Berwick Speedway for all their help & support and thank you to everyone for your well wishes! The recovery starts now

Lots of clubs already operating Spectator Replacement

Final table at the end of the regular season. 1 Lublin P 14 31 points 2 Czestochowa P 14 24 points 3 Gorzow P 14 20 points 4 Torun P 14 18 points 5 Wroclaw P 14 17 points 6 Leszno P 14 15 points 7 Grudziadz P 14 12 points 8 Ostrow P 14 0 points

I wondered how long that would take. Lynn were Fan Dabi Dozi last year winning one match while you guys romped to the title!

Good meeting that.. Torun seemed most pleased with the result.

Yes, this would have made a good TV meeting, but pleased it isn't as BV will get a good crowd as it is not on the box. This should be our toughest home meeting, Doyle always goes well, no matter where, and King, Batchelor, and Tungate, on their day will cause problems. Tungate has had some very good meetings at the NSS, but also has had some shockers when he let BV down. BV riders will have to watch out for Doyle dive bombing them into the third turn if he has not made the gate. (rare). Am expecting a great meeting, cannot see a walk over for BV as in recent home meetings.

Literally they can’t, not every rider is going too be world class but for Christ sakes put out a team that’s a respectful effort, it genuinely is pathetic and they should be ashamed

Eurosport are only showing Sunday`s SGP 2 on Discovery + and Eurosport player !!

Need batch to be on form for that and tungate to get dialled straight in. But if they do then yeah. You could be looking at that

I know they do, but in my opinion it's wrong, whether it be speedway, football, rugby or anything else, my point was say a team went unbeaten for all the league campaign suddenly had a major health, or injury crisis and had to race a meeting with only guest bookings who were put together last minute to satisfy a TV schedule, and this team lost, it's not right, I was not comparing it to football I was pointing out a scenario which would not be allowed to happen in any other sport other than speedway. Speedway rules are a joke in the UK and need to be re-written, only then can it move on for the better, the people running the BSPA now are only in it for themselves to make a pocket lining few quid from the TV companies

Just over an hour to run 15 heats well done to all

I should imagine, if he is allowed to anyways, that it would be Leon and Bomber riding for Berwick!

I was talking to a long term sponsor on Thursday he told me at the start of the season he along with other sponsors their money was no longer needed , now look how it ended up .

Actually, all former Berwick riders are welcomed at Shielfield Park, and have a lifetime pass to meetings.

Jordan Jenkins was a revelation & would scored more if he hadn't been knocked off(by his own Redcar teammate).

He took the testimonial. Should of respected the club/fans and rode the last meeting..

Sink or swim maybe but I remember people on here wetting themselves thinking how dominant Musielak would be in this league but he's only managed a GSA of 8.09 (7.67 away from Sheffield). Holder has been even worse in the UK. Perhaps it's here where riders are developed

Which is why Jason Doyle for example is worth his weight in gold. Not only turns up every week, but gives it 100% in every single meeting he’s here. We’ve had other top class riders dip their toes in of course, but you never really got the feeling they were giving it 100%.

Several No1's pocketed some real top money from Sky's millions... Then promptly "foxtrot oscared" from racing in the UK the very second the money stopped...

The BSPA had the very large chunk of Dosh, during the early sky years...... sadly no vision. The sport just makes me so cross should be one of the best sports out there.

In an word No... London may as well be a different country to the rest of us who don't live there, it's a completely different demographic to the rest of the country

If Woffinden Lambert and Bewley came back to the U.K. that would be a huge boost to the Premiership but can’t see it at the moment. Sweden is going (to go) the same way as the U.K. with interest falling alarmingly, again I would say through lack of top Swedish riders. I think after the pandemic U.K. had the chance to reorganise and have one professional league to employ the stay at home riders and from overseas - mostly Aussies and where would be without them! The sport is becoming Northern dominated as stadiums in the south come under pressure through ever increasing land values and housing requirements.
