population of the Borders & N Northumberland 100,000+, even if they could attract 1% of that would be a decent crowd looking at todays crowds

Maybe Davina McCall should make an announcement before the interviews

That's a bit of a shocker

Ive no problem with him riding , why would I ? He's our best rider , until he decides not to ride we pick him . You don't have to like someone to admire or respect their talent or ability

thats good planning on the part of the director I'd like to think . All too often the cameras are placed at speedway meetings where they show the crowd at its lowest not the first speedway rider to fail that test

charged not proved

exactly and that's the point some on here don't seem to grasp . The winner of the F1 Gp at Silverstone , the guy who wins at Wimbledon , or who ever lifts the trophy in Paris tomorrow night wont sully the event by swearing will they ? Woffy and anyone else who decides to copy him should remember that there are loads of kids watching and start acting like an adult . Im not a hater BTW I'm more saddened and disappointed at his childish behaviour than anything else

Such a shame that instead of talking about the rider who won the GP , the main topic seems to be about the language used by the guy who didnt

I guessed you'd be good at playing with yourself

Still watching then ? Thought you where bored

Well done Leon , good luck in the final

Having The SGP , WC & The P/L 4s all within a few weeks is ridiculous , this is something that needs to be addressed at the AGM at the end of the season .

The only way to get more meetings is to increase the amount of teams in the top league , how you go about that , I'll leave to the experts because I can't see many teams in the PL looking to move up .

Yeah and then they wonder why crowds are down and people don't take speedway seriously

56-37 , can't see The Diamonds being troubled here

When both teams are using R/R why not bring in a NL rider at reserve and promote the higher reserve into the team ? Looking good ATM , a few tricky ( an a couple of matches that are definitely winnable ) away matches on the horizon though

One thing we learned tonight is R/ R is not the answer in the longer term

Need to find the volunteers , that's the problem , plenty moan about why covers weren't used , but not many are prepared to help put them down or remove them

Dave Blackburn used to do it all the time at Berrington Lough

Sounds like he's bought a copy of The Chris Neath big book of excuses

A point would be good

I wonder what would of happened if Freddie had won a couple of GPs ,and was in contention for the title ?

Please tell me how you know that Berwick didn't do a fine job promoting Monday nights meeting ? They had posters up across the region , adds on local radio , free entry for kids , added attractions on the night , remember England where playing on Monday evening and you could hardly call Workington a local team could you ? . Shielfied is a big stadium even with 1000 people in it would still look empty

Both Paul Fry and Scud Smith went through/over the 2nd bed fence in a very scary incident I'm sure some one with a programme from a couple of seasons back will be able to confirm the rider involved
