  2. I do, Kasprzak was dropped as he could hardly score a point for Poole, came back with Rye House and scored a paid maximum…..totally taking the pee!!!

  3. Hope that's the case Lewy. I've developed quite a soft spot for both Plymouth and Berwick in the Championship. I've watched maybe three or four streams from Plymouth this year and always watch out for their results as well. Good luck for next year!

  4. Very impressed with Luke Harrison last night, he has come on so much from watching him in his early NJL days. Would be great to see him full time with the Bullets next year, build the side around him, Ace Pijper and Mason Watson. Greg Blair for entertainment and a Kyle Bickley / Luke Crang to score top end points and pass on advice for various tracks. Been another entertaining year for the Bullets. One of the best things to happen to Berwick speedway in a long time.

  6. Jamie Courtney's welcome words last night: "The Bandits will be in the Championship next season, the Bullets will be in the NDL. The Academy will continue to give opportunities to the next generation and Duns will continue to go from strength to strength"

  8. Whilst you have the overriding clause in the regulations which states The BSPL directors have the sole right to approve or not approve a declaration then it matters not a jot what’s in the rules.

  10. Who would be cheating? If Plymouth win we would go down on record as finishing 4th instead of 6th that would be the only difference, Leicester and Glasgow have proved over the season they were the best 2 teams in the league.

  12. Who's been tapped up then? Anyway Ford has done plenty of that over the years so I'd probably keep quiet. Glass houses etc.

  13. 1) to make it cheaper so the likes of Eastbourne or Workington would join? 2) to spread the top riders around so the likes of Birmingham & Newcastle being far weaker doesn't happen again? 3) to help the best NL riders step up? 4) to have a bigger gap between Prem & Champ and a smaller gap between Champ & NL? 5) to encourage clubs like Leicester, Poole & Glasgow to step up? Tbh a lower points limit isn't needed so much for next season if the Champ are missing 2 more teams, meaning the top riders could get spread round more evenly!

  17. Have to agree on that, think that once it comes to play offs an unattached rider has to take a bookings for 1 side only and if they go out its no further bookings until the next season.

  18. It’s a bit of a joke if the play-offs are decided by who can book the best 3.00 unattached reserve and then hope they honour the booking!

  20. When the RS was introduced I did an extensive article in the Star examining past schemes to encourage young talent. They came along about once every seven years and apart from the odd vestigial trace all had disappeared within two years.

  22. Always sad when a track closes down but what went on at Swindon was despicable with lies upon lies and false promises.

  23. I did say before Tom Brennan could be the one that lets Belle Vue down as he has had a couple of nasty crashes lately but he has had a bit of time to recover and back on his home track I think he will be fine.

  25. Were you though? Luke Harrison was a lot quicker than Ace Pijper in heat 15 before he fell, so would Ace have won heat 12? Ifs, buts and maybes, we will never know. Foe me Luke Harrison was the most impressive rider on show last night, even finishing comfortably ahead of Jason Edwards in heat 11. It could also be said Berwick could have added a few points to their lead by staying on their bikes / Greg Blair's bike troubles.

  28. That's the point I was making, why put r/r at 2? Jenkins may get an almost guaranteed win in heat 8, but that was never gonna be enough for Oxford to beat Leicester over 2 legs! They needed him to take as many points off the 3 heat leaders to give Oxford a chance to progress imo

  30. The reason speedway in Swindon has closed is because Gi do not want to build a new stadium. As has been said before The directors and below have been paid off simple.

  31. And Josh Pickering's is just under 9! If Edinburgh are allowed another year at Armadale and points limit is 38, then how do you make that work? Have to get rid of nearly 5 points. Their team average is only 0.3 lower than Poole's! I'm hoping for a trophy to show for ours before getting rid of 5 points!! Anyway back to Glasgow, I got a bit sidetracked as usual! Do you think they are trying to create a bigger gap between the leagues cos they are starting to do away with doubling up? Chris Louis did say it would have to be done over a few seasons. You couldn't just implement it over night.

  34. When you substitute BSPL directors with Bates, Godfrey, Ford jr & Louis it’s even more chilling. Add in Chapman (still very much a spectre hanging over the sport) and CVS from recent years it’s easy to see why the sport is dead. You reap what you sow. So sad. Even more of a concern is those named above will control all next years top flight - bar one.

  36. I think it is wrong to say it is all for a few cups that mean nowt. At the time it means everything, you have the lows so you can enjoy the highs. I am sure most Swindon fans enjoyed winning the trophies and now it is very sad and upsetting to lose another track, if you saw Lee Kilby on TV you could see the pain written all over his face. I hope Belle Vue fans enjoy their victory without any fears that their club could close at a time when so many clubs are under threat of closure or have already closed.

  38. Just by reading many of the comments in this thread shows how and why this sport isn't ever taken seriously... Two teams have "cheated" by replacing riders.... One due to a long term injury to their No1 rider... And the other, due to wanting to replace an underperforming rider with someone they felt could improve their team.. Yet Both used the average system that the sport so slavishly follows, and both, according to the averages, brought in lower ranked riders than the ones they were replacing... Two clubs doing nothing other than what clubs would do in "proper team sports", in their respective circumstances... But no. In Speedway... That's "cheating"...

  48. Sad news, BOBBATH. I saw him when he rode for West Ham in 1964, when Dave Lanning described him as "the droll leathery-faced slick-gating Aussie" practically every time he mentioned him in his programme notes! He was a valuable member of the team and was, indeed, a fast gater. Although he only had one year at West Ham he was a top rider for about 10 years or so with Ipswich, Poole and, as you say, Long Eaton amongst other teams. I believe he made one world final, in 1961 in Malmo.
