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 .

According to tonights newsletter he's not

Ben has a fractured bone in his hand , caused by his all or nothing style he tried a bit to hard lost control and went over the high side stuck his hand out as you do to save yourself and the damage was done . I've said for long enough that the bikes are to fast nowadays , its not always about the best rider now its who has the fastest bike that counts

Thanks

Any news on a replacement for Ben Barker tonight ?

The fact the "Scoop" Hamblin is still at the Advertiser after 30 odd years says one thing , he's not very ambitious and is quite happy to report on The Bandits & Berwick Rangers and not a lot else it's never going to be Pulitzer pPrize winning stuff is it ?

Poles don't ride in the P/L anways

Looking for team changes already , before the season even starts

Drive 30 + miles to Berwick in the wrong direction , yeah right that's a free bus

Free bus is ok if you live in Berwick or surrounding area , not much good those who stay in the Borders

Doesn't his insurance cover the cost ?

Perhaps it because over the last few years we've had riders who have benefited from the fund ,also the promotion which meetings to target for the collection night Perhaps if the customers who booked long weekends where made aware of the speedway before they came to the camp it might help , are there any links on the various camps websites to the speedway or visa versa are there any links on our website to the camps and to the local B&Bs

Berwick always get a mention on the BBC Radio Scotland local news , details of up coming fixtures , results the next morning of the previous nights meeting when there has been one , news on signings and other stuff to

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-31726107 Maybe Darcy should have used this as an excuse for failing the test

Attention seeking again, looks like its worked

Isn't always the case that the people blessed with all the talent are the ones who seem least well equipped to deal with , just look at people like George Best or Alex Higgins and a few more that we could mention across may walks of life

Bit like Todd Wiltshire at the opening meeting Vs Reading when it snowed

Richard Knight , & Jimmy Nillsen , (not sure about the other team members) where also due money from the " completely innocent " Terry Lindon although not as much as Tatum , who actually advocated a strike by the riders but his teammates refused to back him in this course of action It was fantastic seeing the worlds best at Lough . Always remember Marvyn Cox attempting to master his way round the "WeeTrack " and failing miserably

If its in the Daily Star will anyone notice any difference ? most of what's in that "newspaper " is a load tosh anyway

Maybe It was some of Fletch's home brew that caused him to be dehydrated

Too many !
