Guilty as charged.

Will need some religious intervention from a Christian.

The Minions really are looking invincible this season. Boo hiss! Wonder if Plymouth would like Lemon back to bolster their middle order?

Craig Cook gating tart? Bit harsh! This coming from a Tiger.

Cheers Paulco. Maybe it's just the pessimist in me but I've found the lack of news concerning. Hope he's back soon as he was becoming real box office and alone he was worth the long journey to Ashfield.

Any update on young Dimitri's condition? Have just seen Newcastle have released Christian Henry. IMO he'd score more than Mark Lemon consistently and I'd welcome him back.

LOL!

Good to meet up again mate.

Cheers baba.

Glasgow owner Gordon Pairman sadi in his programme notes on Sunday, no team could afford to run on gate receipts alone. People go to lower league football and when on TV the stadiums aren't full.

Cheers Paulco. Thought so, but you never know with speedway.

Ouch! Just saw the Schramm / Rosen incident. Got me thinking. As I'm not up on the rules like some on here perhaps someone can answer what would happen in the following. Heat 2. A reserve takes out his team mate and gets excluded. His team mate can't ride due to injury. I assume the excluded rider can't replace his team mate?

Any news on Dimitri? Can't find anything on t'internet. Hope no news is good news!

Never Never!

We've not had many chances to gloat last two years so I'm sure even a Minion can forgive us!

Bjerre did it twice to Berge. Considering Bjerre looked very fast and unbeatable in his first 3 rides it just shows how fast and much of a danger Berge has become! Anders was a bit silly. I put it down to a combination of youthful exuberance and adrenaline. All the Tigers looked pumped up at the start today so maybe he was just caught up in the atmosphere.

Liam Gallagher Fans ... KingKenniBerre Racing Fans ... Jepsen Jensen Racing Fans ... Hougard Racing Fans ... KKK Racing Fans ... FFS Racing Fans ... My Girlfriend is a Blow Up Doll Fans ... Your boys took a hell of a beating! With apologies to all true Panthers speedway supporters.

Wouldn't give the posters under this username the pleasure of abuse, mate. It's what they ultimately want with their constant baiting on the BSF. How these trolls remain on here is beyond me.

I thought we'd got your minions this season!

Whoosh,mate.Whoosh!

That's the thing, if we change now then we have the makings of a reasonable side and season.Wait, and it's 2013 all over again.

Put yourself in his shoes.With his potential he could go places. Would you want to be in a team next season where you're carrying experienced riders you'd rather be emulating and learning from? Lemon needs to do some serious thinking, or someone needs to do it for him. Jesus! I've just noticed Berge was on a TR in the same heat as Wolbert. What a kick in the Knackwurst!

Yes, we sure are going to get hammered. Well and truly hammered. In fact totally hammered. Well and truly slaughtered! Totally battered. Totally jaked. Smashed. Blootered Blazin' Rubber We're going to get hammered when we win! Stonner!

So there's no misunderstanding can I clarify my point on funding raising. I'm not suggesting there is a scam, What I am suggesting is at Edinburgh there are numerous people walking through the crowd collecting fuel fund monies and selling raffle tickets. At Glasgow I didn't see anyone on Sunday, and I stood at the same spot in front of the tapes for best part of 12 heats. At Edinburgh if 10p falls out your pocket, a fund raiser will catch it before it hits the ground! One of my points about the bar and the food is that for a new comer, they are not obvious, lack of sign posts and the announcer could do more (yes he did advise on at least one occasion) to make people aware that they're available and when to find them. BTW - On Sunday I bought a burger and it was pretty good .... but nae onions!

With the dust settling on the rider performances and time to consider some of the other points raised on this thread. I've been to both Glasgow and Edinburgh twice this season, so a few observations comparing presentation. And I've tried to see this through the eyes of someone new to speedway who went to both Easter weekend meetings. First impression - £2 for a programme from the rained off Workington meeting of 6th April! Did include a bonus racecard insert from the Berwick meeting. Poor start. A PA system that stuttered. Meeting presenter - Edinburgh have one. Glasgow - tells us who to cheer for and who won the race. (I'm new to speedway - WTF is the black and white helmet?) Start marshalls - Glasgow have (had) one throwing a wobbler in public. Plus a girl who looks like she's ... well, not sure she looked confident in what she was doing. Promotion officials - Edinburgh - smart, easily identifiable and accessible. Smiling, chatting with punters. Getting punter feedback. Walking about amongst them. Glasgow - Lord Lucan? Raffle - Edinburgh - Ahh! a chance to win some dosh from that woman selling the tickets. Glasgow - wouldn't succeed in a job interview with BetFred or Barnados. Hint to Glasgow - Fund raising guys. Fund raising! Money. Dosh. Spondulics. No begging bowl mid-season. Capiche? Where TF is it? Food - Edinburgh - On entry as you go in. Clean, quick service. Glasgow - somewhere up the back of the stand, OK if you know where it is. Service is s...l...o...w. Cleanliness? Think I'll wait till after the meeting and go to the greasy chippy across the road from the stadium. The one with the two cats in the window and the four trading standards and council food hygiene officers having a meeting with the smoking chef in the blood and food stained apron. Beer - Edinburgh - bar easily visible and accessible. Glasgow - Like the food, "do they serve bevvy?" Shall we go back next week? Well if we do - we won't buy an old programme (on second thoughts we'll use that Berwick racecard), we'll take our own food/drink and we'd better swot up beforehand on what these four riders are doing out there.
