Didn’t realise we were arguing bud. Wish I could have been over to have had a proper chin wag but couldn’t make it next time Workington are over, or we are there message me I I buy you a coffee. I don’t come online to fall out with strangers.

Ha trees blamed on crap track prep. At least you’ve thought of something original well done 👏

They’ve had the whole weekend to prep that track I’m not convinced an extra 3 hours is going to make a difference.

Berwick admittedly isn’t best race track in the world but it does help when the opposition can get close enough to try and pass Workington were miles off the pace in the first half. Cook and morris did just fine

I have streamed two meetings this week and I was surprised at how dry Workington was. Racing at Glasgow was better but I’m more likely to buy the Workington one again as the stream was better quality. The commentary was clear the camera actually followed the riders and there was no terrible itv style adverts during grading

Is working always that dusty and dry?

anyone having issues with the stream? never mind I think it was my phone playing up.

I was on the main strait and the improvement was night and day hopefully something can be done to fix the back strait issue.

I like Greg but it wasn’t a great look after voicing his opinion that he headed up to the referees box. He may have said absolutely nothing but it didn’t look good. He probably overstepped the mark but there’s also a degree of people just looking for something to be angry with after the result.

Not to nitpick on an excellent win but what was morris doing racing Battye on an almost guaranteed 5-1? The only thing I can think of is they had agreed the finishing order before the race. Even so he should have sat behind Battye and then given him a kick up the arse back in the pits. Risking a crash between teammates completely unnecessarily isn’t on. Kind of soured an absolutely brilliant performance by Nick this evening.

Fingers crossed Battye is ok. On a positive note well done to the club for getting the speaker situation sorted.

I feel for etherinton this can’t be doing the lad any favours.

Older sounding guy on the stream is woeful, doesn’t seem to know what’s going on or who exactly Glasgow is racing, Plymouth Devils apparently and he keeps talking over the other guy. Thoroughly enjoying the racing though. Might watch a few heats on mute to see if that improves things.

I thought Kemp had ruled himself out of weekend UK speedway for logistical reasons?

He would be an excellent guest. I’m not sure we want him getting extra experience round Shielfield before Poole visit though 🤣

If jack is unable to ride Dayle would have been an obvious choice of guest but he is obviously busy. Maybe Max Perry? He did very well on his last two outings at Shielfield.

I don’t disagree but how many championships teams are going to take on a foreign based young lad that fits somewhere between reserve and main team. If he achieves a 4 average on an assessed 5 he will be in danger of not even seeing this season out. I think the issue is the assessed 5. If he was a reserve and achieved 4 brilliant. But achieving 4 in the main team not so. Time will tell.

The down hearted side of that is in current British speedway him achieving a perfectly respectable 4 point average but having been assessed on a 5 average will make it very difficult for him to find a team place next year. A rider on more than around 3.5 a risk in the main team but too high an average for a younger reserve. 3.5 to 5 seems to be a difficult position for a younger rider to be in.

Yes 🤣

He isn’t the only former Bandit in more than a little concerned about this weekend.

It will be very interesting to see how Dayle Wood goes on Saturday. He’s had another cracking meeting tonight. Can’t help but feel we have retained the wrong reserve. I will however be very happy if Smith proves me wrong.

Sam wasn’t great as a bandit either but he was forced into the main body of the team. The lad has talent you don’t end up 2x under 21 British champ for nothing. We all complain about a lack of British riders. Then as soon as a young British rider isn’t the next Bewley we moan about that.

fair enough, just seemed odd that it was both suits.

multiple post again

The extra money is possible needed with the very noticeable lack of personal sponsorship on both sets of his Kevlars.
