  1. Idea is to win the meeting, nothing wrong with managers playing around with tactics to try and win a meeting in my view, I do completely understand the point of view of the ‘lesser reserve’ though, and I think they should be informed before signing the contract that it will be happening
  2. What a shambles of a day that was. Burger van ridiculously expensive for the poor stuff you were given, 1 ambulance to save Granty some money and mug the fans off, Congreve having delayed concussion just in time for when Newcastle were struggling and couldn’t afford a last place. Track is an absolute disgrace and not a single rider looked comfortable on it. The Berwick juniors refused to ride on it because of how poorly prepared it was, on the advice of the senior riders, lucky if there was about 400 Newcastle fans there as well, saw more Berwick merch than Newcastle
  3. You just stick to looking at the updates and don’t bother giving an opinion on a meeting you didn’t attend, was plenty of passing, but it rained for 5 hours straight, so of course it’s not going to be normal track conditions, but that doesn’t suit your agenda does it
  4. Aye nice to see some good passing and your team winning at home, good result for the 1-5 Diamonds I see
  5. Well written piece in the Bandits v Oxford programme from Gary Flint, not exactly happy with Wednesday night
  6. Awful take, watching riders struggling hitting ruts and lifting, letting other riders pass isn’t good racing. Some fantastic racing at Berwick this season so far, not just Bomber, who’s had a fantastic start to the season for Berwick and Peterborough, the two teams he actually rides for, maybe if you had a number 1 and didn’t have to borrow everyone else’s it wouldn’t matter.
  7. Yes, there is, would never be able to get insurance otherwise, and you would be silly to run without that
  8. When people are saying you need a second ambulance, that doesn’t mean taking one away from the NHS ambulance service, it would be ‘st john’s’ or a private ambulance/paramedic firm, the same as what your paramedics and ambulance is in the first place
  9. Don’t feel any sympathy for Birmingham’s promotion, it’s something the majority of clubs have covered for years, and should be mandatory, you cannot abandon a meeting for an ankle injury, when there’s a hospital 5 miles away! Even if a paramedic went with him in a van/the ambulance, and then returned, the public and the away team shouldn’t have to put up with that.
  10. On a Wednesday night? 9.5 hour round trip, bit silly to expect any more than 7 riders, 7 mechanics, a team manager and 5 fans at a push.
  11. Think there’s going to be a great battle for the play off spots this year, Berwick, Scunthorpe, Leicester, Redcar, Oxford, Plymouth, Edinburgh (if they make a change or two) will be battling for 4 places, with Glasgow and Poole clear at the top, and Brum 10th and Newcastle at the bottom
  12. Question marks over Shanes, Pearson and Etheridge fitness wise
  13. Pijper in for Paco I hear, some nice practice for the Bandits around Brough ready for 2 weeks time, with Flint and Wells already having rode there this season
  14. Pickering been fantastic to watch friday/saturday night I have to say, most entertaining rider I’ve seen for a long time
