I think everyone is getting a bit carried away just because Ashworth is not going to Plymouth.Berwick would have had their own plans in place before this happened and he would not have been part of them then IMO,So why should he be part of them now?Just because his average might fit.

I take on board what you are saying,Berwick promotion will make the judgement on what they know no doubt,I'm sure they will make the right decision.

"that Bowden changed his contract" I assume.

Don't think you have missed anything, some people doing the 2+2 maths and coming up with an answer which is probably wrong. If Berwick were interested surely Ashworth would want the whole season ,Berwick have already stated that Kozza wil lbe back when fit.(given that he is not out for the season,which might well be the case)

Mon the Fish could be the one as Bowden states his search for rider is proving a bit expensive. .Bowden's reputation will go against him when trying to find quality riders IMO.

Phil Pratt possibly

I think it means in a"doubling-up "capacity.Think if the rider was only doing PL he can ride. Could be wrong though.

At least the wannabees in PL are putting in a bit of effort to earn some money,unlike the EL star who are just topping up their Polish and GP earnings without 100% commitment in some cases.

I think a lot of your asumptions are incorrect IMO (being polite)

As a Glasgow assett they will be entitled to money for him whether on loan or transfer.Glasgow have already indicated that he will not be there next year.

Have to agree it was nearly always at Big Meetings,was a class act as a rider though.

Can't Split Peter Collins or M Lee, closely folloewd By Simmons,Jessup and Carter.

There are NO Brits good enough to be given a Wildcard IMO.Chances of any qualifing through GP Challenge in the near future look slim.

The point is the tapes did not rise evenly,not who messed up the start.Considering the technology aviable it was a poor decision not to rerun the heat.IMO.

Nikki's version of incident of final is laughable,he needs to concentrate on racing his opponents as oppossed to stopping them getting round the 1st bend!!!.Gp racing is hard and should be fair.You have got to give Holder a lot of credit for the manner he took his 1st bend treatment from Nikki,if it had been the other way round things might have been different I sure Nikki would not have been so diplomatic.

Thanks for posting Link,cracking speedway.

Clearly were zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well Said,there has to be entertaiment value to attract the fans and surely for the young guys their sights are set on beating the old hands to gauge their progession.Promoters always seem to want the best of both worlds these days regarding 3rd tier racing.Should not pay over the odds but there has to be a balance of youth and experiance.

Near enough for me 50 years on

Think he was an Australian,don't know if still around.

Brian Mckeown also rings a bell.Possibly Kev Torpie before he came to Monarchs.

I remember him riding for Middlesboro at Old Meadowbank early 60's.Eric Boothroyd was in that team if my memory is still OK.

Yer up to late, Johnno announced his retirement more than a week ago

I sincerly hope Peterborough do run speedway next year, speedway at the Showground has to be kept going to save another venue for closure and lost to the sport.

Mainly because the BSPA say so.Its their ball and they like to say who can play with them.
