  1. Agree,I was probably a bit harsh with my criticism,they certainly had trouble adapting to track conditions.
  2. Was watching it ,he scored 9, l,3,2,0,3 fell in his 4th ride when a bad last,track was catching them all out.Kemp had 10 from his 1 st 4 them finish last against Flint and Palin.Standard was poor 8 decent 8 poor IMO.
  3. Track giving a bit of trouble by the looks of it.
  4. Depends which Rory turns up and track conditions to suit him.
  5. Who knows,but he was very impressive at Glasgow in GP qualifier 9pts and beat Holder.One thing for sure he will give 100% not sure that can be said of everyone at Berwick these days.
  6. He was good in u/21 last year 10pts after falling in his 1st race.
  7. Looks like Emil made a mistake leaving Ash Tech,obviously can’t get the set up for his new tuner,he has fell away badly in the Polish League too.
  8. They don’t see to be able recognise the obvious.The riders that can’t make 1 League pay just need to retire and get a proper job for less money.It’s laughable that they will work for Tesco when they can’t earn from Speedway yet just moan they can’t make a living from the sport.Give them a tenner an hour for their Time at Speedway meeting.Wages have to be in line with Crowd Levels or there will be nobody left in 10 years.
  9. Ok if you say so.!! You seem to know how EVERY Club negotiates is lease.We will leave it there.
  10. As daft as you if you think Speedway Promotions pay Council full rent and don’t use the facility for 6 months.In Berwick’s case ( Council Owned)your not telling me that the Football pay 12 months full rent for 6 months use and Ditto the Speedway.I’m sure there is deal struck that suits them both.
  11. You will find out when you pay money for your ticket.
  12. Think amalgamation should have taken place few seasons ago when it was obvious the difference between the leagues was narrowing,might have still be able to tempt decent foreigners to stay in UK,but they just kept reducing averages and finished up paying mediocre riders more money ,and running out of decent standard of riders.
  13. That’s fair enough but at Redcar the price they pay for a12 month lease will be based on the fact that they run a lot of Training days and Amateur Meetings.Most other tracks dont have any winter activity.I’m sure the lease price will reflect that fact.
  14. I think it’s because their average doesn’t matter as they can only be replaced by a rising star or R/R.
  15. Should have ran in the NDL given the circumstances ,decent fans would have supported it in the hope they could move up again if viable in a couple of seasons.Plymouth seem to have done ok with that scenario.Berwick also done it in the 90/s
  16. I still don’t think Speedway Promoters pay for a12 month lease though.Who runs what in the winter months doesn’t come into it.!!!
  17. Let’s face itö crowds at Birmingham,Newcastle and Eastbourne are going to double overnight therefore it is just a case of limiting losses or finding a major sponsor to bail them out.Not looking great but only they know the financial situation they are in.
