  1. The bike setup was great for getting out the gate all night but when it hit the dirt it was sapping the power out the engine hence the loss of straight line speed coming off the the bend he made a changes but didn't work much better so was trying to keep it out the deeper stuff his engine was good but just not strong enough ,scoring double his ave in his 1st home meeting and some people still moaning lol

  3. I'd have to disagree with that point, clubs don't sign Speedway riders just because they try. If Workington thinks she'll improve & hit her 4.00 average - then that's the reason not to drop her.

  5. That was a good win against a a decent Berwick side. It’s worth pondering the outcome, had Flint been available. Would he have scored as many as Vissing? Doubtful, but then again, if Complin was available, I’m confident he’d have scored more than Hagon’s four. Starke looked slow, so credit where it’s due; his five, paid eight was an achievement. Borke is a rider. I can’t imagine he’ll be at reserve for long. Berwick have a great talent on their hands there. There was some great racing on show last night. Lots of passing and lots of tussling, so fair play to both sets of riders.

  6. Yes, that’s because in the last three seasons he’s failed to score double figures on three occasions in his last eight visits, but two of those three were paid double figures. You got stick because despite being presented with the facts that totally went against your argument, you decided to stick your fingers in your ears and die on that hill which made you look stupid. Last three seasons at Foxhall 7+1 9+2 11+1 9+1 14+1 14+1 12+2 10+3 Why do people just blatantly Lie? I’d say Thursdays poor performance was very much UNLIKE Harris’ “usual Foxhall self” from recent history. Again, that’s because in recent years he’s scored double figures there more often than he hasn’t. It really isn’t difficult to understand is it, Orion? Well for some people it clearly is!

  7. From a Berwick perspective I think tonight was far more positive than negative, I have no doubt as has been mentioned that if Glasgow hadn’t had Claus we would’ve taken the bonus point and potentially the meeting. If Sedgy had started how he finished maybe even then we could’ve stolen the bonus point. Kemp looked the best he has looked so far in a Bandits race jacket and despite nobody really setting the world alight we hung in there till the end. Next Friday at Armadale is make or break for our chances of qualification, a must win if there ever was one.

  15. Scunthorpe had their ‘lap of honour’ , just after the first junior race, like always happens at Redcar, no matter who wins. Agree about the car park but it’s not the speedways car park , and the council have been asked to do something about it but don’t hold your breath.

  17. Think starky did ok tonight paid 8 from a 4 point rider is pretty decent he used his head in his last heat to team ride with Sam to keep Borke behind but was struggling for speed suppose lack of riding doesn’t help either

  19. Think it was better than that in all competitions - 12 home, 12 away. In 83.33% of home meetings and 83.33% of away meetings Claus scored more than the 5 point average he was signed on. 2 bad meetings at home and 2 away

  22. That's a good point, there's no rush to make a change, as she can be replaced anytime by a fellow 4.00 rider. As long as Workington can stay in contention for a top 4 spot that is.

  25. The comets have a fair shout at silver wear this year if they bite the bullet and move Liebmann on. Taking sex out if it she’s not very good and not even close to a 4 pointer. If they can bring someone in that’s capable of scoring there average then they’ll be there of thereabouts.

  28. Phil Morris has a pretty good track record of getting meetings on... unlike British Speedway! There are people that want to see a GP held at the NSS, if they think that they're going to pick up a ticket for the same price as those at Cardiff they're living in cloud cuckoo land, it's simple supply and demand economics... and like you say everything in this country pretty much costs double what it did a few years ago. Dreamboat Phil will get these meetings on, whatever the conditions

  29. That photograph with JSH looking up to that man Wilfred McIntosh standing tall over his speedway bike is well known. It can be found in Ron Hoare's book "Speedway Panorama" (page 144). But it was only a gag, a hoax, just one of Hoskins' many publictity stunts, and McIntosh never seriously considdered a career as a speedway rider. From his physical stature alone, this giant of a man he was totally unsuited to become a speedway rider. I don't know if he ever rode in an official race at all, possible not even in a second half heat race. He was only posing for this publicity picture with Hoskins and Chitty, I guess.

  30. It always amazes me how poor as a team we perform there, because individually Doyley, Danny and Adam have been very successful there. Just keep it close if you can lads, a bonus point is a must #fingerscrossed.

  33. Fair post again from Yearby. Think with Charles we may have won but who knows. Was a much improved performance by some, with Knudsen having a good night and Bailey looked quick after his opening ride. Great to see Edwards continue his progress. For Scunny MPT was excellent, with rest giving good support without any real standouts I thought. Harrisons four points proved hugely crucial. Track on the slick side again but understandable with the amount of rain again this week.

  34. A lot off If buts and maybe,s if lee hadn’t failed his drug test pretty sure Glasgow would have won at Berwick if the team manager gave Borke 7 rides you might have got bonus point

  35. It was either Basso or Bomber, but Claus would've fitted with the current line up, which is why all the head scratching. Again only guessing but on 30p/mile (or whatever they're getting) it's far cheaper from Berwick than it is from Denmark, that's the only reason I can think of.

  40. King's Lynn has to be grippy vs Sheffield. Woffinden always bins it at Lynn when grippy & C.Holder will cry like a female dog about it. The boys would need practice time on it though or the Stars will be binning it also. Run the track slick, King's Lynn won't hit 40 at home, & they can't afford another defeat

  41. Like I've seen you say before. Just show up to be entertained by the strongest possible sides and not look too far beyond it. I would rather see sedgy than r/r or a sub standard guest personally

  42. Birmingham Monday on the way up, Oxford on the Sunday afterwards on the way home and Sheffthorpe on the blank Thursday to make 7 meetings in 7 days. Go on British weather I dare you to foil my plans!

  44. It is easy to make knee jerk reactions - change X for X - following a disappointing result. The likes of Pawlicki, Milik & Lampart are the obvious easy targets but surely at least give them the opportunity to attain a none assessed average. Then the team has more options for changes moving forward.
