They won't hear you from the bar

Three fruitless visits to see the Rockets there, three pathetic performances. Cutting down on away meetings with the arrival of the baby. Only doing the PL there this year. Best of luck if you go. You never know.....

Not on the track at Berwick last week he wouldn't. Slick as a baby's bottom

Boxall is suffering from his usual bike problems. Was riding a tractor on Monday. Needs to sort himself out if he's gonna score points at this level.

Vissing is pretty handy round there and I reckon Nikolaj will enjoy it. The rest will struggle. Reckon we're looking at around 32 points. Write this one off and try and take something away from Ipswich & Plymouth

Dunno about that. I presume they're gonna leave it as grass.

As far as I know the banking on the bends is gonna be grassed over and there will be tiered seating on the back straight

He's started the season off pretty well according to the other half. Cheap

Doubtful that he'll come back from NZ anytime soon

Warren Scott bought the entire operation. Len Silver is in charge of team matters and track prep, nothing else as far as I know

The new owner asked Silver to put water down, he refused

Tres missed a few meetings for Rye House last year due to grass track commitments

Such a lame argument..... I've never had a woodwork lesson in my life, but I know a nice bit of furniture when I see it. We won the league in 2005, hammering 50+ points past most teams week on week. Crowds at Rye House were more than double what they are now..... Berwick fans are weird

Berwick used to be unbeatable at home when the track wasn't as well prepared (on purpose I suspect)

I heard of an EL rider who was on £375 a point last year. It's a dangerous sport and they are brave men, but that's just plain ridiculous and surely can't be sustainable in the current climate of falling attendances in the UK.

It's a possibility I s'pose if Edinburgh allow it. We don't know how long Kasper will be out for

And yet most clubs are still losing money, so who's to blame? Greedy riders, over priced equipment, expensive engine tuning?I genuinely don't know the answer

Peterborough battered Ipswich tonight. The LC group is wide open once again

Cheers. Must've missed that

We've gotta cut down on away trips, too expensive.

Nah, we're only doing PL away meetings now

Business as usual

Speaking to Nikolaj in the bar after the meeting, he told me that he'd be missing Plymouth away (17th) & Sheffield at home (18th) due to an U21 meeting. We'll also be without Edward for Somerset next Friday due to his Lakeside commitments. Whisper is Claus Vissing is our guest at Somerset

I can't give you an accurate figure, but someone counted 5 when they left Berwick. I'm sure there will be a more accurate figure in the next newsletter

I'm not an expert, but everyone around me was saying to drag the dirt in and water it. No use watering concrete, that would be dangerous. I'm not saying it would've had an impact on the result, but it may have helped. Rockets looked comfortable up until half way through the match. Opportunity lost
