Is Ole Olsen doing track prep at Redcar now ?

TBH cant say I've really heard them from where I stand , but I certainly wouldn't let them spoil my enjoyment

If I was fed up with somebody moaning in my ear all the time I'd move to somewhere else in the stadium , or alternatively turn and ask the person responsible to either desist or put a sock in it

Gone Where ? he's riding on Saturday night is he not ? He was at Berwick last Saturday night , had a spin after the meeting

There used to be a crop sprayer at Berwick at one time, don't know where it went , but I agree with others on here a little water every now and again certainly helps to produce better racing

They've created a special N0-Moan Zone especially for Ed and his guests

I though that the idea of having the parade at 6:45 was so racing could start at 7pm , aren't meetings advertised as " Tapes Up " at 7 ?

They tried sending the riders around in pairs on their bikes a couple of times last year , not sure how well it was or wasn't received by the masses . Personally as I have said I've always preferred the old style practice starts type of parade , it gives the fans a chance to look at the riders starting technique and also I think it helps to give us a chance to see the various bikes close up

Any kind of win will be a start for The Bandits given their recent difficulties at home but I would guess that 18 points plus would be the minimum required to take into the second leg . As for the missing riders this is mostly down to the open doors policy on riders operated by the Premier League these days , when we defeated " The Dorset Dumplings " in the KOC final in 1989 it was with 7 British riders , changed days

I sent an email to the the club a couple of seasons ago on the subject of a traditional parade on one of the rare occasions when they actually held one saying how much I preferred it to the current way of doing things. I received a reply telling me that the fans , especially the children prefers the new way of doing things as that meant that they could actually see the riders faces as due H&S regulations riders have to wear helmets now when they do practice laps , whereas on the back of the "Banditmobile" they don't . Personally I don't see why the can't come to a compromise and do both , where the riders do a lap on the back of the truck first then after they have been introduced they can have a few practice laps .

Seems like a bit of a stupid question to me , why wouldn't you select him ? He's our no 1 rider , just because he's chosen to take a season out of British League racing is no reason not to select him .

Its OFF then looks like it a night on the beer then

There must be a better option out there than Albin , I honestly can't imagine that the management are seriously considering replace Luke with him , don't see what benefit that would achieve it would be replacing like with like surely they should be looking to strengthen and improve the team bringing in Facu would not do that IMHO

Looking forward to seeing Sissis & Garrity

Looks like we've used our get out of jail free card already . But seriously though don't think I've ever seen a meeting with as many engine failures Scunthorpe must be wondering how they managed to lose that meeting let's hope we used up all our bad luck in one meeting

This should be a fairly comfortable home win just hope it's a bit more entertaining than last weeks meeting . I can't see the crowd being all that big there's a SGP on TV plus a decent football match as well on Sky that may have an impact on the crowd levels

Personally I can't understand what the problem is with Berwick riders and Armadale , even if we tracked a 7 track experts we'd still get humped

How anyone can say that they enjoyed a meeting when the team that they follow/support lost is beyond me ,however I an still appreciate a good ride by a rider such as Craig Cook when I se it there is quite a bit of difference

Football , Rugby U.& L , Cricket , Motto GP & Superbikes plus support classes , Tennis , Darts , NFL , Baseball , Ice Hockey , Rallying , Golf

I'll look forward to the advert in next Saturdays programme and of course numerous mentions from our centre green presenter looks the business

I've always found it strange that your not allowed to complain without being shot down in flames , if you went to a football or rugby match or went to the cinema and what you saw there was poor you'd quite happily complain about that so why is that when you see a bad meeting you can't say so ?

Not even a bellyful of booze would be enough to erase the memory of last night

Last nights result was depressingly predictable , even when the Bandits did edge in front I always felt it was going to be a struggle to maintain it in the later half of the meeting , Kevin was ridding the guts out the bike but getting nowhere fast same with Ben who can't possibly be 100% fit , but fair play to the guy for giving it ago . Next Friday night we face the daunting task of a trip to San Siro of Scottish Speedway which has never been a very happy hunting ground in the past for the Bandits let's hope the guys can put in a decent performance and give us a boost as we kick of our P/L campaign

If people don't like what Cook (or any other rider for that matter) is posting on Twitter then they shouldn't follow him , he's only posting that stuff as attempt to snag a few bites , unfortunately it usually works as people are stupid enough to fall in to his trap and respond to his diatribe whilst he sits back and laughs at them

Well that looks like that one piece of silverware that's not coming to Shielfield this season . Very poor meeting IMHO dull & boring , with only the good company I was in that made the trip worthwhile .
