Good win and all the team had their moments, some good racing and the track was decent

Wasn't talking about that particular meeting just track prep in general .

IMO Only thing I would say about the Berwick Track prep is that it seems always to be slick on the inside line ,and inconsistant on the outside line,But out track announcer publicly says over the mike that it is OK .I will leave it at that .

What a good idea,would never have thought of that

As there was no objection from the Redcar promotion before the match when the changes were announced you would have to assume the rules haven't been broken.

Lemon is your key man IMO in previous seasons he has been superb when he has gated (which was most of the time) He has tailed of a little this season but if he puts his gating boots on he will be hard to beat. Morris is a good guest choice for Berwick but if Barrett is fit I feel Newcastle will have slight advantage,certainly will be the toughest opposition he has faced at Shielfield.

Former F1 driver Alex Zanardi also won a Gold at the cycling after losing Both legs in a track crash,Its great to see these guys living life to the full under such great adversity .Like you say incredible .

I think you will find that Ashworth & Complin rode in the Berwick Team in these fixtures.If Barrett is still injured and we have R/R for him and a guest for Ricky is our best chance.A good match and a large crowd are more important though.

Newcastle will never have a better chance of a win IMO.

He would only be confused if he liked what he saw and went to Berwick to see the Bandits.

Noticed that Edberg was listed in the Hammerby team for tomrrow night in Sweden

I think Woffinden has stagnated in the past 2 seasons he is not GP material yet in my book.Have seen many riders younger than him perform better.Does there really have be a Brit ?

I agree it was pretty much Ist corner stuff,dont know why the outside of the 3rd /4th bend is so deep that no one attempts any outside pass till about HT 10.There used to be more than one line round that bend .

Like I said before wrong title IMO .Based on your special formula it should be MY Top Ten Riders

Cant believe how crap Sitera has been all season how does he make any money !

Interesting to see how he adapts to smaller tracks,but looks a exciting rider

Dick Barrie should maybe put Covatti Berwicks way since he watched them all last winter.Looked decent in the GP compared to Albin

You can put the Rod away.

Did I,well I never. What did say that you assume I missed your point. Regarding averages Ithink you should listen to the point I was trying make regarding averages before telling me an average is an average, which is something I already know.Now a rolling avearage that is something different

I think in Berwicks case they have a lot of support that travel from the Borders and surrounding areas so the reduction will make significant difference if they have a budget for their nights out.

My remark regarding admission is about Speedway in General.

I personaly think that the admission prices are to high in this economic climate.

A point I would like to make is these matches against Edinburgh & Newcastle would probably attract decent crowds without the reduction which proves its not just a case of attracting the fans because of the nature of the opposition .The local derbies are the right fixtures to pick though IMO.

Great gesture.

I think the queue at the catering would certainly help shortfall of cash due to lowered Admission Prices.Shame about the match result although the Monarchs deserved to win it would have been a good bonus if the Bandits had won given the bigger turn -out.
