And you might see an Oxford victory 😚

Slightly different link from usual: http://kergel.ucoz.lv/index/0-2 Additionally : https://vk.com/video-53550004_456242148 https://vk.com/video-220089063_456246104 https://vk.com/video-81427162_45239695

Averaged more than the following in Poland last season: Pawlicki x2 Wozniak Kvech Przedpelski Lidsey Ras Jensen Woffinden Michelsen Doyle

The line up for the meeting is indicative of the current state of British speedway. in days gone by there were two semi finals feeding through to a top quality line up for the final. Now we have only one semi final made up of Premiership reserves & championship second strings which reflects poorly on the so called development of British talent. Sad to see!

The only sport I watch on telly is speedway, but I am not going to pay £31 per month for it. I thought I would watch the highlights on Dmax. Imagine my surprise when I see the SGP is allocated 30 minutes yes half an hour for 23 heats! Will it be worth watching, I wonder. At least the British matches are allocated an hour for 15 heats. Something doesn't add up with 23 heats crammed into half the time allowed for 15 heats. Thanks Discovery, you have ruined my enjoyment of Speedway, as I am not able to go to meetings anymore (Age, distance, finance etc.). I am sure this is is not what the people who gave Discovery a ten year(?) contract signed up for. Having enjoyed the coverage up until now, I can't wait to see the end of the contract and hope someone better will take over.

Not it wasnt watered ,simply because it had been watered from 6.30 am until 6.30 pm, if more had gone on after that it would of just sat on the top surface , making puddles which riders definitely do not want, they get filled in . In fact we were asked to try and dry it out abit with the grader at ht7. In Poland they have very different tracks, very different equipment, even the material. In my opinion watering a track is a very dark art, 1 bowser to many and you have materials that turn to slop, not quite enough then you have dust.

Still a weirdo

This post is so far off the mark on many points

Maybe it would, that's his problem. I just thought the other post was a bit of a needless dig. Not at all surprised, though. I enjoy going to Berwick regardless tbh - and will do even moreso now. The racing will never be great but it's rarely awful, and it's a big, fast track where you can spectate very closely. Not many left these days.

Going against the grain here but I’m disappointed with the club. Reply’s to comments on other media suggest it was done in the best interest of Borke while Borke indicates otherwise. I fear the 28 day recovery sabbatical is a soft way of saying we have canned a fan favourite, a rider who was severely injured in service to the club and a rider I believe deserves more than two meetings to prove their worth. Hodder got a full season of flipping his bike at the gate and finishing half a lap behind. I believe Borke deserves more from Berwick. As a fan, the Club, the promotion and Smith will get my full support but this definitely leaves a bitter after taste.

And that was just the Monarchs fans.!

Tonight's U21 Qualifier should be interesting for Poole fans, a chance to see how Will Cairnes competes with his U21 contemporaries.

I have suggested this for the past few years. It means more money for riders and reduced amount of guests and searching for riders

And in fairness we could use a T/S for one of Ashton's rides, I'm sure we'll be using one! 😵

talking rubbishe!! the track is amazing 99% of the time and always makes for a fair meeting… Oxford were just majorly slow

Well I realise it's only Arthur and me who are actually interested? but I would say that that's an encouraging result. Roll on July the whatever!

The glory days of British Speedway is just a memory and will never return.IMO.Tracks closing down and crowd levels hardly helping ,nobody in there right mind will invest there own money into the sport .Sad times. Just compare entertainment value and crowd levels at Top Level over the weekend in Poland Sparta vLublin to Kings Lynn v Oxford. Night and day. Don’t have solution though.

The zagar saga is definitely a visa issue and not money

I know nothing, I’ve told everyone enough times

IF I had the money I would try to revive the Diamonds. But it ain't that easy, even if I did have the cash to do so. Finding somewhere to race seems to be a no go anyway, so it probably won't happen. My opinion on the Berwick track is just that, an opinion. This is an open forum for discussion. As I've said in an earlier post, good on all the previous promotions and the current one for keeping it going. And, just to clarify, it was an observation, not a "moan" and was directed at the track, not Berwick as a whole.

Chugunov looks more like a man now.😁

Jack Smith is the epitome of a journeyman rider, seen as a last gasp or short term signing, as is the case in this situation. However it is clear the Bastian Borke is a mile away from sufficient race fitness that justifies his team place at present and I back the clubs decision to drop Borke be it temporarily or not as the situation could not continue. Though it does seem the club and rider have differing views on the events of the last day or so. Not sure if Smith is the answer though.

Tried again. 😂

Maybe if Steve Park put his time into saving / reviving the Diamonds rather than moaning about Berwick it would be a different story.

Does make me wonder why season after season Plymouth ship in an expensive gamble. Baek, Turner, Goret all came in with debateable pedigree and Cluff is little different. There has to come a point in time where taking expensive gambles on riders with blind hope has to be replaced with some sensible team building.

tungate could be the hero. Tonight.🤣

7pm

Ok, but taking you thinking to the point of implementation means riders could be forced by a promoter or organising body to ride in any meeting they wish them to appear in, irrelevant of the riders own wishes. Such exploitative practices where individuals are forced to work against their will are the crux of modern day slavery which is prevented by suitable and agreed contracts of work/employment/engagement being put in place.

Not Rew then 😁 In that case R/R rather than Howarth for me. And fingers crossed Nic has a good day.

It would have to be R/R with Kvech and Klindt taking Cook’s rides (which I think is what we’ll go with)… or the pretty in form Howarth guesting if Rob really wanted a full 7 🤷🏻‍♂️

must be Rew in that case?

Zmarzlik please !!! Failing that....anyone who could win Heat 1 !

Remember that you can’t use our rider for your points on Monday. Brennan will be in witches colours 😉

Wright had done too many rides for Oxford to use the IRR facility.

And don't forget the Spires won the Championship pairs 🤣

Birmingham should've taken the change to talk to him about riding over here regardless, maybe they did?

Rested or Dropped it is obvious he is really struggling to be competitive,a decision has been made .

Think they are all great options but it's wether any of them would come to ride in the UK, only basso and tarasenko have in recent years

Plus Jack Smith is likely to score well at Glasgow and probably Redcar giving Berwick a chance of nicking points from these fixtures

TBF, thats speedway, bike issues, falls, being beaten by better riders. Everone can't ride to their average every meeting.

Simon Lambert saying Rob could've done his job from Spain tonight lol.

SpeedwayRus also has a decorating chanel, DecoratingRus, he's currently streaming some paint drying if anyone wants to watch something a bit more exciting

We've already beaten Scunthorpe, Plymouth and Middlesbrough. The joy of three leagues! 😜

To be fair he was spoilt at Brough Park lol

Well, it's still open and running speedway! Got a free car park too.....

I'm in Devon and I'm not buying a stream that doesn't start until the match is finished. I shall just get the heat results up on proboards for free!

Lol I did wonder why I was brought into the conversation 🤪 , AND if I'd known where Rory was doing the commentary from he might have got one but as he made his own at the start of the meeting tbh didn't give it another thought

Hopefully this helps. Shuttle bus in operation from the town Facebook To the WWK FIM SPEEDWAY Grand Prix of Germany on 3. In May there will be a bus-shuttle connection again from the city center (Ländtor stop), via the station ( überlandbus stop 17) to the stadium in the Ellermühle. Two buses always take turns from 13 o'clock at half an hour. The return trip will be after the race (last ride 11:30 pm). The return fare is €3,00 per person (including children up to and from). 17 years are free).

A proper top level meeting... So good to see every lap, n every race, meaning something... Kurtz the stand out rider, but Freddie rolling back the years... Poland on a Sunday evening.....
