It would make things simpler if all meetings (except Challenges) counted towards averages.

Erik Riss had three EF's in a row last night for Redcar. It can happen to "the best" of them.

He said he was having bike problems last week..... a few didn't believe him..... perhaps they will now.... ??

Saw a lot more racing at Brough than I have ever seen at Shielfield IMO.

You reckon? Most fans want to see a winning team. If they don't get that, they stop going and eventually the money stops coming through and you are then fighting against survival and, more often than not, that is a losing battle and you no longer have a speedway team. Another problem at Berwick, and it's only my opinion, the racing is usually rubbish, so you can't (usually) say "well we got beat again, but at least the racing was good".

We all have a day we don't like, The Boomtown Rats, as an example, didn't like Monday's.....

??? Have they (illegally) switched back to a Thursday race-night? Or have they moved up to the Premiership without telling anyone???

To quote Eric Morecambe "that's what they all say!!"

And, sometimes it can be boring as they cancel each other out....

Depends what the illness was, I guess?

It used to be that you could change the riding order if agreed by the referee and the opposition. Not sure if that is still the case.

Nobody (Ref, Promoters, anyone else) thought of telling them (at the time)?

Be careful what you wish for, look what happened to Newcastle last year.

If you are going to go to a speedway meeting "as a neutral", then the result is never going to matter! Now Newcastle has gone, I'm a neutral wherever I go (mainly Redcar as I find Berwick mightily boring) and don't really care about the result and hope I'm going to see a decent meeting. Last night provided that.

Hasn't ridden for a few weeks, prob needs the £££ and also prob helps to get back to race/match fitness, so why turn it down?

Blamed his bikes for his performance last night (Redcar v Poole)

Replaced by Mulford

Well that clears that up, then!!!

Yes, they did, my mistake, apologies. I thought, for some bizarre reason, they started with R/R but Spencer was injured in his first ride and they used IRR.

Is it not the fact they started the meeting with five riders, rather than averages not adding up, being the point they were "under strength"?

Clerk of the Course, Pits Marshal, Environmental Marshal, Flag Marshals, Start Marshal, Timekeeper/Incident recorder, Machine Examiners, Announcer, Centre Green Announcer, Track Electrician(s).....

He will have given his 1-7 already, so there should be no "secrecy".

Howarth scheduled (and named) for Sheffield tonight (15 June).
