Significantly strengthens the diamonds, Starkey going well too. Got stung by last season at brough taking nothing for granted but be disappointed after pumping Edinburgh at the dump if we can't take the win

God was never the track man, he resolved the issue with the 3rd bend dip

There was absolutely nothing sneering about the comment just pointing out a fact in speedway as in life money talks. We brought in rusty Harrison on a 9.00 average, got his new average of about 4.5 and guess what? Off he went to Workington for more money.

Sarj average surely too high? 4.27 according to speedway stats. Even if you're allowed the 5% for Congreve it's up to 4.2

Tom and Benjamin on 8 points after 4 rides in their SGP2 qualifiers, probably going to need a win in their last heat to qualify. Steven goret beating Benjamin big surprise on what we saw last season!! Edit: Tom finished on 10, Ben on 11 neither qualified automatically

Berwick meeting was as good as anything I've seen at ashfield. Even Newcastle had some good moments. Last 2 weeks not been fantastic, but Sunday afternoon always difficult to prepare for and think had to do fair bit of track works after the rain this week, leaving it slicker than usual when sun came out.

Surely Newcastle fans prefer to watch their team getting pumped live at the speedway than the football on the telly

Which makes it all the more galling. In twice seen him this season he's passed more riders than he did in a full season he was with us. Kept sub par equipment here, flew in rode a few seconds and thirds and flew out. Then all you hear on TV is how he never gives less than 100% no matter what he rides for. Was most definitely not the case for us And what was worse is allied vehicles went out their way to provide him with significant sponsorship while was in GPs and even afterwards before he signed. And that was how they were repaid?

I don't think he needs any extra motivation in that circumstance. No love lost I believe. Hope Berwick fans don't see the average manipulation we witnessed to make sure he was available to guest for those with long term injuries

Swings and roundabouts really. Harris probably got double what Kennett would, Edwards definitely far more than Atkins but ruml nowhere near Gilkes. Score probably about right in the end

Well job done, 3 points none given away. In the circumstances I'll take that

Plymouth winning the guest off so far

The beginnings of an in house streaming service on the website?

There isn't a reason. If Plymouth win fair enough but don't have any fear of the fixture based on their riders past ashfield records. Bigger challenges to face imo

Why would we want it off?

Turns out I was right

My office is on York Street couple miles from ashfield. Looking out the window seems to be drying up now

I mean a different champ club, he's not tied to Birmingham in any way really

Never had any issues with cookie at ashfield no matter how he goes elsewhere

It's probably preference. I don't like watching Edinburgh, Newcastle, Plymouth, wolves, Ipswich as don't find that kind of racing as entertaining as full throttle you get at Glasgow, BV, Peterborough etc. I won't say it's bad or boring etc it's just my personal preference

I could see the point if he was your asset. But since he belongs to BV unless any agreement is in place then if he shows promise I suggest he'll be off to one of the "bigger" clubs. So giving him the rides only really preparing him for someone else

Had a feeling it might change if looked at howarth ashfield record. Definitely tougher match now

Been much better day today in centre of town at my office than was predicted not seen any rain at all. bit of the wet stuff around tomorrow morning should just leave the track in perfect condition for early evening.

Unfortunately not

Ruml got 4 for Plymouth, memory serves probably deserved more got beat up few times. Edwards was good with the enemy was impressed with him
