  1. Good win for Bandits,Glasgow are a poor looking Team too any old timers going through the motions .Raunis not the answer to their problems,Compton will do the job he was brought in for,Screen is not interested after a lap if he is not in front and is just waiting for the end of the season IMO.A few more Home defeats on the way.
  2. I don't think he has and he is not the best of gaters which does not help,he is a better rider than he is showing his away form is still pretty decent a good rider IMO.
  3. I am still not convinced Berwick is his favourite track.Perhaps he was hoping to adapt to it.
  4. Your the man ,should not have doubted your positive attitude ,good call. Looks like Lemon and Shramm best days are now behind them.Wells is usually better at Shielfied.good result for the Team.
  5. Thats some score line I fancy a Plymouth win if Lemon gates.Hope not though.
  6. looks like it was the track to blame for the past 2 weeks after all.
  7. To be successful teams have to have a good reserve unfortunately we let the one we had slip away,the rest of the Team are inconsistent and not performing to their capabilities IMO.Will Kennet be riding on Sunday ?
  8. The fact of the matter is that it was only made official in the last few weeks that it was being implemented next season,that seems very little notice on such an important issue as some Promoters are pointing out.Berwick were pro-active regarding this matter which is commendable but to say that they will be running next year because they have a Air Fence is premature as is being made out by some considering they might not have been running this season if Sponsers were not in place,air fence or no air fence.I don't think it is scaremongering by some Promotions it is a major issue IMO.
  9. Its speedway were talking about 'rule for today 'applies .
  10. Yeah the Berwick fixture list this season is very lopsided for whatever reason the Home fixtures especially .
  11. The throttle woks both ways,If this was an Open meeting these same riders would toddle round to take the cash on offer in case they were going to lose out.It is not good enough .they are plotting their own demise.Tiddlywinks will soon be drawing bigger crowds.
  12. Tricky one for Berwick IMO,Lemon And Schramm might do a lot of damage to back up Wells and Bech.
  13. Have to agree regarding lack of information,the Promoters don't have to answer to fans how they run and finance their club for obvious reason deals with riders and Sponsers should remain confidential ,but when Clubs like Edinburgh(sorry to keep using them as an example but they did publish that they lost approx £30,000last season)and others report losing money and the average fan can see that their Team is just as expensive on paper as last years you wonder what is actually going on. I for one don't believe that the Riders are taking to drop in wages and riding to a wage code (but I may be wrong).the supporters bailed out Monarchs last year which is commendable , will they have to do it again this closed season with the price of a new Air Fence thrown in.We shall see.
  14. Everything must be OK so I will just give it a miss this week is how a lot of fans see it ,unfortunately
  15. The extra expense will certainly not help the struggling clubs,but who knows a winter of discontent awaits I fear.If clubs like Edinburgh were claiming £30,000 losses last season from what I gather this will be another loss making season and other Clubs as well.
  16. They would be lucky to win the PL 4's with any of them .
  17. Why is Horwood going home is it his injuries?
  18. I Personaly was disappointed that there was so little new ideas and change came out of the Promoters Conference thus giving fans the impression that everything was Ok and all these mutterings of discontent was from a small majority on forums and Facebook ect. Unfortunately it looks like a lot fans who don't use these Media's for voicing their opinion's have just drifted away IMO.Negative opinions don't show the sport in good light,but constructive criticism should be taken on board.You could argue all day on the way forward for the Sport but the Promotions are the people who run the show and it is up to them collectively to get the show back on the road (providing they think something is not working).Reading some Promoters response to fans survey in the Speedway Star I was not impressed.
  19. How did you work out these figures for Moggo,11 pt av doesn't seem right when he signed for Berwick.
  20. Moggo was pretty decent when he came back for Berwick then Stoke,but it doesn't happen a lot.Compton was pretty poor before he packed it in though,but could do a job .shows the state the sport is in IMO,he won't be cheap!!
  21. Have to agree ,seems to go to the highest bidder each season.
