Anyone know if there's a timescale on Mattys return to fitness ?

Double headers at Shielfield are about as rare as a Bandits away win at that San Siro of Scottish speedway that is Armadale , I think the last one we had involved Reading but I can't remember who the other team was . Anyways we need to finish as high up the league as possible , hopefully in second place if as looks likely Edinburgh are going to finish top .to do that the Bandits have to come through both of these meetings with all six points

I'm fed up with all of the excuses being made for Darcy's behaviour , how many times do we have listined to the same old story ? He's appoligised in the past for his previous misdemeanours but he doesn't seem to learning from his mistakes does he ? Using this the second time this season he's been asked to take a breath test before a meeting ? I would have thought that would have been a wake up call . He's been totally unprofessional IMHO , you can't imagine that someone like Marc Marquez or Valentino Rossi would be out drinking the night before a GP or that they would be unable to compete the next because of the effects of that night out would you .? Hopefully a spell on the sidelines will give him time to reflect on his behaviour and he will decide to knuckle down and concentrate on his on track activities .

IMHO He should receive at least an 18 month ban maybe that would give him time to reflect on his behaviour

If Middleditch has actually said that then he's a bigger numpty than I thought he was , nobody forced Ward to drink , or is he suggesting that his lime cordial was spiked ?

Alcohol limit in speedway is zero , he should've known better , second time this season he's been tested

A great result for the Bandits last night I especially when you take in to consideration the riders we where missing , Jensen was in fantastic form and seamed to be revealing in the conditions , it's an interesting thought that he may return to reserve when the new averages come into affect . I thought that Somersett where probably worthy of their point and maybe if Charles Wright hadn't of be so awful they might have pushed us harder . I wouldn't be so confident of a big away win depends if our guys can get to grips with the tight tack at Rye , if we start the meeting well and can get in front early doors then we might just be able to hold on , personally I'll take any kind of away win

A good win for the Bandits against a Sheffield side that, Simon Stead apart were poor but you can only race what's on track against you, it was good too see most of the the riders on form and scoring big points . I 'd like hope David will sort himself out before Tuesday night as the next two meetings at will be far tougher than tonights opposition and will go a long way to determining were we will finish in the league

Well done The Bandits

No matter what peoples personal thoughts on Kelvin are it should always be remembered that he was a class act , some may argue maybe he wasn't one of the greatest of team players around , he gave his all , even when he was due a substantial sum of of money from the club . Anyone who traveled to Oxford for the gold cup final and saw his and Mikeal Blixt's horrific crash ( after the cup had been won incidentally ) couldn't doubt his commitment . Personally I wouldn't like to see him get any abuse from the Bandits fans that kind of behaviour does the club no favours at all .

If Alex is the answer , What's the question ?

The problem with 5 year plans is that the other nations aren't standing still , we've got a lot of catching up to do by the we get to where the likes of Poland are now they've will have moved on

Nothing but a troll looking for bites .We all know he's a sad fat fifty year old who lives with his mum

true what you say but its another asset for your club , and next season he'll have a proper ave and along with Berge and maybe Thomsen that's a start for next year sorry missed your post until after the SWC

Because its a crap rule that should be scrapped at all levels of speedway nothing but a gimmick , the only way a rider should get double points is if they actually win the race, awarding double points to a rider for finishing third with other rider yards behind him his nonsense

Oops

its on but the times look slow , updates on Bandits twitter and F/B pages

same old story . glad I stayed at home

Fingers crossed then

Which direction is the weather coming from ? as its absolutely chucking it down here in Galashiels & has been for a while , if this heading towards Berwick then I'd say the chances of a meeting look doubtfull

At this rate we'll still be racing at Christmas

probably , another 28 of r/r for Henry was the only other option , can still be brought back in though to replace one of the other team members if the wish

Still on the injured list , out for at least another 28 days

Terry Lindens record since his Berwick days hasn't improved he was involved in an personal injury insurance scam which went to court , but somehow he convinced the jury of his innocence I'm sure there was another case that saw him in court this time it was a fake investment scam

Stead wasn't allowed to ride as he was already signed into the SWC , riders aren't allowed to compete whilst their country is still in the completion
