Could Berwick put Kyle back into the team in place of Nathan (just as well using a Bullets rider for our last 2 meetings)? Think Gary said Nathan will be missing for a while and with the defeat last night at Birmingham we won't be interested in the playoffs (shame Ace isn't 16 yet as would give him the last 2 matches).

Will watch on the Saturday if the meeting is any good (working Friday night). Good luck to all teams. -

Thanks for that. Think it was on the Berwick Facebook page I seen it on (was on about the Bullets on Tuesday, Bandits on Wednesday and Leon a reserve at Cardiff). -
Berwick v Plymouth Championship 06/08/2022
Gambo95 replied to screm's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Did I hear somewhere (Talk-in)? that Greg is racing Friday night. Maybe didn't want to race 3 meetings in 2 days? -
Not sure how averages work. Jye started the season well. Hopefully he goes well for Berwick if he is in the pairs. Scoring a couple of points on Saturday and nothing at Edinburgh would bring your average down I would suspect if these matches were to count?
-
Was mentioned to me at Glasgow meeting that his poor scores against Redcar (KOC), Edinburgh and Glasgow in the Jubilee trophy don't count towards averages. Would explain as that's 6 meetings and think I was told it's now 12 meetings for an average?
-
Adam Ellis must have done well with 17 (or was there a reserve)? Did they say that Berwick weren't allowed a guest (5 pointer) for Knudsen today (wasn't really listening at that point)?
-
Did someone not say he had a new engine the last time he guested for Berwick (did worse than his other engine). How come Edinburgh get 2 guests for their second strings (thought it was one guest and r/r)? No wonder speedway loses more fans than it gains with constant rule changes that us fans cannot keep up with. Hopefully make the meeting after missing the last 3 at Berwick.

Summers in 12 and 14? If Scotty tried to jump the start in heat 7, why was he not of 15 m in heat 15 when it was called back.

Oxford Cheetah Cubs 2022
Gambo95 replied to old bob at herne bay's topic in National League Speedway
I take it that when he doesn't get a ride (like v Berwick) as a number 8 then it doesn't count as a meeting? -
Rules don't make any sense. Berwick who are bottom of the league couldn't swap a rider (4.3 ish) for someone else (5) without making a double change whereas Redcar and Scunthorpe etc who are higher in the table can replace riders with someone else with a higher average. The Berwick team average at the start of the season would be 38.25 swapping out the replaced riders. Think that would make it 3.75 points below the limit.
-
Wonder who the reserve is we had? Seems good. Could he not have had one of Masons rides also?
-
Was a good period that. Think we should have won at Peterborough at the end of the previous season (won at Ipswich and Edinburgh so would have been like 4 away wins in a row). Berwick Bullets won at Armadale earlier in the season of that counts.

Poole Pirates Vs Berwick Bandits 29/6/22
Gambo95 replied to Shaleshifter's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Only scored one point against a Poole rider (beat Ablitt) All others were from beating a team mate. Truly awful and feel for the other 4 riders. -
So a team like Berwick at the bottom of the league cannot strengthen up (straight one for one swap) but other teams higher in the league can strengthen up. Shows why it's not taken to seriously by lots of people.

Read the bit about Birmingham in the speedway star this week and I would assume Newcastle etc would be in a similar situation. Did someone not mention £000's a week earlier. With regards the air fence most promoters run meetings to part pay for them so I would assume they would have known where they come from. Did the previous promotion charge Rob for the fence and not say where it came from. If this is the case I would be looking to blame the previous owners. I agree with most other points the fans are making though (I was one of them that put money towards the crowdfunding page) especially the heat sponsor who hasn't been contacted. Hopefully we see Newcastle back next season along with various other teams.

Devastating news from Newcastle. On the point about meetings. What happened last year when Redcar had Eastbourne at home but didn't have to go to Eastbourne? Would expect the same thing to happen this year (if they had to pay something last year I would expect them to get something back this year).
-
There should be a cut off point of let's say 4 matches. There is Jenkins and the Thomson twins as well. As you say the rules should be applied the same to every team (no problem with them riding if Leon was allowed to race for the Bullets last year). Palin couldn't race last year also.
