  1. Just ignore him, Jenga I mean. I have and the forum is a much better place. The only thing is you need to stay logged in otherwise it doesn't work.
  2. Some cracking racing once again tonight with the Glasgow youngsters getting in amongst the points. Sam Jensen what a find, totally fearless. Connor Bailey is learning all the time and is really going to be a star with Kyle unlucky against Sheffield but getting his reward against the bandits. A mention also for Ben Barker. He tried his heart out but wasn't rewarded with a big points total. Just a pity a lot people seem to have been put off by the weather forecast.
  3. I blame his great great great grandparents, if they hadn't got together none of this would have happened.
  4. Totally agree. Interesting to see who Leicester pick. Puts pressure on there management team to get it right. Nothing worse than finishing top and getting knocked out in the semis.
  5. I'll give you a few clues and see if you can work it out. Tonight Rasmus unbeaten by an opponent in a match curtailed by rain, last night at Peterborough on a track frequently described as having had a lot of rain and difficult Rasmus was superb. Against Scunthorpe he couldn't turn the bike.
  6. Can't see what's wrong with me having an opinion. I take it you think the berwick track isn't too narrow?
  7. Equally, I hope that Berwick close down over the winter due to having a track that's too narrow. Nothing against Berwick team, management or fans, of course.
  8. Perhaps it's a cunning plan to get him to reserve and then the true MBA will appear, 7 rides and double figures in the playoffs . OK I've had a few beers but wouldn't it be good if I was right for once
  9. Your spot on about entertainment value and I suppose the trouble is those that don't enjoy what they are seeing just stop going rather than come on here and argue the toss.
  10. So you were there last week and you thought you got your moneys worth. A track that was grippy in places, spongy in others, that rutted up on the bends, that had riders two wheeling in to the bends. All of these things meant the whole of the track couldn't be used safely resulting in a match that bore no resemblance to speedway we've enjoyed this season. Now this may be the norm for other tracks but we are trying to build our crowd by producing an entertaining evening. Just watch the videos on our Facebook page. Having ridden on the track rather than postponing all that happened I believe was the track needed more work than normal and that would require dry weather which we didn't get. The track staff posted photos late on Thursday and hoped for a dry night and Friday. It rained off and on till around 15 minutes after it was called off! Of course its dry and sunny today but surprise surprise rain is forecast for Tuesday evening and guess what is meant to be happening on Tuesday yes another home match. Are we p'd off yes and people sitting in the warmth of there home typing dog poo does not help.
  11. To be fair it was worse than that. As I've said before if last week was the norm and I don't mean the result I 'd stop going
  12. I love the fact that Berwick fans are really well informed and up-to-date with the rules and then again there are others who think they read it somewhere
  13. yep we want to have 7 fit riders for the play-offs. I wonder what bandits fans would have said if half there team had got injured tonight just so Glasgow could get a meeting on.
  14. Sadly we no longer race in the south of Glasgow. Where we stay weve got puddles in our puddles
  15. I know nothing about track preparation. What I do know is that last week the action on the track bore no resemblance to the racing we had enjoyed prior to the 4 week break. And I don't say that cos we lost. There was nothing entertaining about last week and if it became typical of the speedway on offer I wouldn't be back.
  16. Well look on the bright side. If the second meeting is curtailed due to a curfew it makes the bandits chances of winning increase from pretty certain to dead certain.
  17. Where did I say I was referring to you. I was making a general point. Also my specific comment about set ups and Harris beating Cookie was a 'joke' as that is the reason Harris uses when he does badly
  18. He is. He comes across as a glass half full sort of chap even when his glass is empty.
  19. Why do British 'fans' seem to think only UK riders have problems with set ups. I assume you watched Smektala highly thought of young Pole plus others struggle at Ashfield when Cook went through the card unbeaten in the grand prix qualifier. I
  20. Craig's adventure to qualify for the GPs is over. I wonder how much his injury has affected him plus the Eastbourne stushie. However he did win one race beating Vaculik, Fricke and Pavlic. He also beat Iversen, Lambert and Bellego. Some good scalps seeing as Iversen and Fricke both qualified. On the other hand he must have got the set up wrong in his first race as he finished last with Chris Harris even beating him for 3rd. So a good effort from our captain.
