  1. Maybe All will be revealed on the bus to Glasgow.!!!!
  2. I think it is because they modified the tracks to suit the bikes instead of leaving the dirt on and letting the riders set up bikes to suit tracks with dirt.They would soon have had to detune them ,the racing would still have been as good (only my opinion)
  3. You have not explained why we already have spot the fans in this sport as it is.
  4. When you see the lengths that F1 have went to to produce a better product over the years why can't speedway put in measures to slow the sport down and still have competitive racing.Alot of the young riders today just don't have the control of the bike,it's taking them round.Barker was unlucky IMO he realised he was too fast on the outside pulled a locker but I'm sure the back wheel just touch the air fence which caused the bike to "stand up" and he high sided .But in general the bikes are to fast nowadays Imo Ps Great laydown by Ludvig to miss Ben .Not so sure that some of today's younger riders have the skills required in these situations.
  5. Apologies that is what he actually said.I was assuming that actual points that would be awarded 4-3-2-0 if reverting to normal which was wrong.
  6. I have it recorded so I will check it out.He said 3-2-1 for heats,what his actual words were for semi I am sure he said it was reverting to what you are saying ,so are we confused.?
  7. The eurosports commentator stated it was 3-2-1 points for heats up to semi race off the it was reverting to 4-3-2-0 for race off and Final.
  8. Have to agree,the throttle control and skill have been taken out of the the sport and riders nowadays will only ride on dry ,slick tracks (unless open meetings where they might lose earnings if they don't poodle round ).Fans have gave up turning up if there is a Cloud in the sky. Health and Safety rules nowadays ,it's no good promotions moaning about the weather affecting their business when for years they have done nothing to stop technology taking over the sport.IMO
  9. No tactical were allowed last night as it is a 2 leg tie and is being run same as KO cup rules . They were all trying and that's all you can ask.Unfortunate injury to Ben put a damper on things.
  10. You seem to forget that he has a higher average than Bellego last season,therefore what do you think Bellego would have done in the next 2 weeks against "proper" teams.Not a lot going by last season when it was obvious he couldn't be ar#ed.
  11. Why,Berwick actually reduced prices for theSky match if I remember correctly.
  12. Name a decent 4.07 rider,we have took a chance on an assessed rider which seemed the best bet,we will just have to see if it will pay of.
  13. I am just saying that the top 4 we have signed could not accommodate Barratt at reserve in that team due to averages,not about team strength.
  14. You are 100% correct ,your own 7 riders is what will keep the fans interested in the Team.BSPA just don't listen to the fans I'm afraid.
  15. The main problem being you could not have the top4 that are in the Team at present with the reserves you are quoting.
  16. Jury's out with both Teams for me,Berwick decent top 4 but not sure about rest.Newcastle difficult to figure not sure that they can provide enough big race winners in tight matches.Think Newcastle will sneak it over the week -end.Weather permitting .
