  1. Play-offs enhance many sports , Rugby League , Ice Hockey , Basketball to name but 3 . Why shouldn't speedway bring it's season to a spectacular end . I'd go even further and have the semi finals and final on a neutral track on the same weekend . Imagine going down to somewhere like Kings Lynn this season and having Edinburgh v Peterborough followed by Ipswich v Berwick on the Saturday . Then the 3rd place meeting followed by the final on the Sunday .
  2. Since the Berwick v Edinburgh meeting is next TUESDAY evening , i presume there isn't a fixture clash
  3. I was there on Saturday , Dick's a mate so i canny say too much haha
  4. Go to Edinburgh and you get hit with , the mighty monarchs , the record breaking monarchs , and recently the incredible monarchs . That and other nausiating back slapping smugness has one reaching for the sick bag .
  5. Not if the play-off criteria is agreed by everyone from the off . The League competition is actually only a qualifying competition .
  6. Aye , he'll be alright when he drops to reserve that's our catchphrase
  7. Bit harsh that , most fans were looking for a signing to excite us and give us a chance of some success in the KO Cup . What we got was someone hardly anybody had heard of . Now i hope the laddie does ok , but we've not got a great record in dabbling in the Scandanavian market . Saturday night didn't exactly inspire confidence that Victor might be any better than Juul , Andersen , Tornqvist etc .
  8. I think the main question should be , with the Smugs running away with the league - who can stop them becoming champions . Berwick look sure bets for the play-offs , but their record against Edinburgh is lamentable and are discounted for that reason . Somerset should be there too , and are capable , but some of their away performances - especially at Ipswich , casts a doubt . Peterborough have been impressive against them , both at home and in Smugville , they would have been favourites had they been able to bring in Schlein , wonder who blocked that one ? Ipswich take great delight in noising up the Smugs , so they would be useful play off contenders Of the rest , Scunny could make the play-offs if Howe clicks at reserve for the next month , while Workington are capable , but they are as bad as Berwick at the Dump .
  9. Dimitri never looked short on confidence at Berwick last night , wee Dorothy 58 couldn't watch at times haha
  10. Third time lucky for this particular fixture tomorrow night hopefully . Glasgow might be storm lashed this afternoon , but the forecast for tomorrow looks much better . Fans are becoming increasingly disgruntled with the ridiculous inconsistancy of our team , especially the proven PL performers or supposedly proven PL performers . Our new signing makes his home debut , and here's hoping Ashfield proves more to his liking than splashing round Shielfield Park did last night . He's a big , skinny laddie who looks a bit like Mitchell Davey on the bike ...............oh dear . Once again we could be looking at our youngsters and Theo to take the attack to the Scorpions , and hope Wolbert can be bothered . No idea on the line ups , but we should be along the same lines as last night - 1 Victor Palovaara 2 Theo Pijper 3 Kevin Wolbert 4 Anders Thomsen 5 Rusty Harrison 6 Kasper Lykke 7 Dimitri Berge As for Scunthorpe , i've no idea what the new green sheets does to their line up , but i heard a rumour than David Howe could drop to reserve . That is an interesting development if true . Nicolai Klindt will lead their attack and with the likes of Birks and Jorgensen both very capable round Ashfield , and i assume still using r/r for Auty , this could be a very close and entertaining meeting . Though what to expect from our lot is anybodies guess .
  11. Usually around the middle of September , but with many clubs facing a huge backlog of fixtures - who can tell
  12. It's pretty obvious where the Eurosport coverage falls down , not enough emphasis is placed on the Monster girl's arses . Fair enough it's probably supposed to be about speedway , but where a GP is being held on a temporary track , surely more coverage of the start ladies would enhance the evening's entertainment and take our minds off the poor fayre on the track . Eurosport , like most fringe cable channels , have a duty to cater for your average pervert instead of wasting time on four wee guys going round in circles on a motor bike thingy .
  13. I was there too , i remember it well Last night was just a continuation of the frustrating season we're having . Surely it's not unreasonable to expect 6 or 7 points from the likes of Wolbert and Harrison on our travels , most of the time it would appear beyond two capable and experienced heat leaders . No harm to young Liam Carr , but should the likes of Wolbert not be brushing aside novices with ease , instead of following them round at the back .
  14. Pretty uneventful stuff , the young lads in our team must get so fed up . They're out giving 100% whilst Wolbert and Harrison aren't trying a leg . Harrison never made it past a third lap in each of his races as he plodded around at the back . Dimitri and Anders battled bravely , how exciting is Dimitri to watch ? The lad provided the only entertainment on a rain sodden track . Theo was superb also , shame it went wrong at the start in heat 15 . Berwick were solid throughout . I know it was a dreadful day weatherwise , but that has to be the smallest crowd i've ever seen at a Premier League meeting . As for our new guy , first meeting on a rain sodden track and using borrowed machinery probably isn't fair to judge him on tonight alone , but i fear he could join a long list of foreign duds we've signed .
  15. Enjoying a pint of John Smiths at the moment in a very wet Paisley . But I shall see you in the Black and Gold just after 5 hopefully
  16. We're leaving at half 2 , so if they're going to call it off , I hope they don't wait till 6 o clock
  17. He is indeed . Kept serving us Glasgow fans long after heat 15 had been run
  18. Seriously So where does Victor Pavlova come from anyway ? Never heard of him
  19. I was at Kings Lynn the other week and never seen anyone searched . Sheffield a couple of years ago at the PLRC was the worst case of that i've ever seen . The only place i've smuggled stuff into was cans of beer at Stoke , only because the beer sold in the bar was minging .
