  1. Fair enough, maybe in this case covers wouldn't have help save the meeting, but its something clubs need to look at as with so many rain offs for certain clubs its highly likely they will be unable to get their fixtures in by the cut off gate, without running meetings on off nights or running double headers which in most cases a big money losers.
  2. Fair enough but Berwick`s Nielsen was unable to take part in the re-run through no fault of his own. It just might help to allow an No8 rider come in as and when required as it would let the meeting flow quicker than we had last night, injuries accepted, and give the paying public four riders in as many races as possible and lets face it most No8`s are junior riders with little or no experience so its hardly likely they will come in winning races.
  3. Your right, hopefully with the right rider as Alden`s replacement and we could get a top six place which IMO would be a great achievement, most of us me included had Berwick down for around halfway.
  4. Yes I agree, or both teams should have a No8, where in situations like last night where one or both teams are down to five riders they can come in for the injured rider or as an R/R if needed, for example last night Berwick could've used their No8 in HT1 instead of going with only Kevin Doolan. Berwick have a decent chance of making a top six place, much will depend on finding a suitable replacement for Alden, form is good and there is the chance of points on the road IMO.
  5. First off well done to all who helped in putting the covers on the track and taking them off, with the rain we had late afternoon there`s no doubt the meeting would've been in trouble had this not been done. Sadly those efforts weren't rewarded in an entertaining meeting, obviously lots of breaks due to accidents is understandable but with both teams running R/R the meeting was boring in the most part with breaks for riders having two riders on the trot, thankfully those injured riders seem to have got away without any long lasting injury. Hopefully Berwick will get back to seven riders by the next time we take to the track, I know they have either talked to or are still in talks with many riders but haven't been able to get a rider in, as has already been mentioned R/R isn't the answer long term.
  6. At the track just had a shower but now its bright, the track is still covered and looks to have done it's job.
  7. Thanks for the correction, still think Dudek was the best rider on the night and thoroughly deserves to be the Champion.
  8. Sure Phillip Rising will be able to answer you, though on the teams I don`t know there is any time where you need to declare your team, meaning it would almost impossible for speedway Star to publish the teams.
  9. Knock it all you want, Berwick once again are leading the way to try to get meetings on and deserve huge credit for doing so, maybe if other clubs did something similar we`d be in a better position, might be an idea for you to question your promotion why they aren`t doing the same. Covers went down, we have had a couple of light showers but so far the heavier showers has missed Berwick, all being well we should have tapes up at 7pm. https://www.facebook.com/BerwickSpeedway/photos/a.146513605530987.1073741829.145038505678497/569477879901222/?type=1&theater
  10. Giving the unsettled forecast the track is being covered to help get the racing on, why cant every club be as forward thinking and progressive as Berwick.
  11. That`ll be the Poole team that won at Lakeside, what does that say about our top league.
  12. After his trial and tribulations in recent times its great to see Dudek back on the top step. Winning all his qualifying races, then his semi, then the Final itself means there`s no doubt the best rider won on the night.
  13. Or the Kings Lynn team at Belle Vue.
  14. Rumours of a digestion problem, where he couldn't stomach riding at Berwick, are just that, rumours.....probably.
  15. Poor Todd Kurtz has had to pull out of the meeting tomorrow due to a groin problems.
  16. Weather forecast for Saturday according to the BBC. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2655819
  17. Certainly a surprise result last night, Plymouth look a decent team on paper and should be able to put up more of a fight than Workington did the other night.
  18. Forecast for armadale for tomorrow. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2657067
  19. You're right it was the late Paul Fry, the policeman with the speed gun was stood on the exit of bend two and recorded the speedway of the riders going down the back straight.
  20. Wasn't the rider that reached the top speed via the speed gun the late Paul Fry.
  21. If Kings Lynn persist with Troy Batchelor they have no hope in making the play offs, and their hopes aren`t that great anyway.
