  1. Fair enough but its getting him there in the first place that has proved at bit of a problem.
  2. This team wont see the light of day but it has the strength in depth your looking for Ryan Fisher 7-42 Theo Pyjper 6-55 David Bellego 6-06 Anders Mellgren 6-10 Kevin Doolan 6-74 Tero Aarnio 4-53 Dimitri Berge 4-70 Total 42-10
  3. BSPA have a meeting in around a months time, at the meeting Berwick will have to declare if they are running next year or not, you would think though that if an investor or buyer has come forward and is in talks with the club a period of grace would be given.
  4. I`m only five minutes from Robert Smith`s I`m willing to take the free chips for the team on here.
  5. Last average I can see for Hughes at PL level was at the end of the 2012 season, his average then was sub four point.
  6. Thomas Jorgensen has withdrawn from Thursday Silver Helmet meeting at Redcar due to injury, he will be replaced by Peter Karger.
  7. Thought about Carr for my team, he has come back well from injury but IMO needs a season winning races and being a top rider at NL level. However if the promoters introduce a fast track reserve system then Carr would certainly be in my team, though the top five would need to change as there would bound to be a decent sized reduction in points limit.
  8. 1 Thomas Jorgensen 7-80 2 Theo Pyjper 6-55 3 Kevin Doolan 6-74 4 Ryan Fisher 7-42 5 Claus Vissing 7-54 6 Fernando Garcia 3-00 7 Nicki Barrett 3-01 Happy with my top five but a bit worried about the bottom end.
  9. Hampel is stitched on for a pick, if Jonsson narrowly misses out on a top eight place then that would/should put him in front of Lindback.
  10. Don`t read things into posts that aren't there, we already have one that does, Jorgensen was representing Berwick Speedway so you`d think that would interest the promotion/manager who I am sure were there to support and advise their rider. Read my previous posts, I think you`ll find they are supportive of Jorgensen`s opportunity to ride in yesterday`s meeting. See the post before the poster.
  11. Nicholls rides in Poland on what you would guess is a reasonably lucrative contract, which would mean him potentially missing the odd Sunday meeting.
  12. If he`d narrowly missed out on qualification then fair enough, but he finished well down the field. With Sayfudinov currently refusing a GP return, and the current situation Darcy Ward finds himself in means there might be an extra wild card spot or two up for grabs, right now that's Lindback`s only hope.
  13. And they won it on Danish soil which I`m sure made it all the sweeter, though at individual level Sweden are poor. Jonsson currently outside the top eight, and there`s hardly a Swedish rider deserving of a wild card pick, especially giving the performance of Lindback in Saturday`s GP Challenge.
  14. Yes its true, and a bit shabby IMO. http://ryehouserockets.co/news.php?extend.1122 This confirms that Kennett only had one bike to use at Sheffield having had machinery problems at Berwick the night before.
  15. We`re talking proper burgers though, not the second rate pap they sell in Berlin Airport for example.
  16. Oh don't worry we will keep the pies back for the full conference in a few weeks, but right now we will knock then bandy with the burgers.
  17. Maybe Workington & Scunthorpe but Berwick promotion could easily impress the BSPA with a sample of their wares, best burgers in speedway.
  18. I`ve heard yesterday`s meeting was to agree on the order of drinking holes to visit when the annual conference comes round as some weren't happy with the itinerary from last year.
  19. Maybe the decision could've been taken out of Jorgensen`s hands by the team manager or promotion, but like I posted earlier Jorgensen deserved his chance.
  20. And it will say that in the record books will it, if that were the case it would be full of would've could've should`ve, for virtually every PLRC down through the years. Cook is as good as there is at PL level, what he`s like as a person I wouldn't know but he does the business on track and that is what counts most, but it would appear some fans (Berwick in particular) either don't see it or don't want to see it.
  21. Going by our great fountain of knowledge that puts Ivan Mauger with the boys and not the men. Most if not all of the top riders, from Mauger to Rickardsson from Nielsen to Hancock, have made mistakes in big races, its part of racing.
  22. As long as he scores the points he can greet as much as he wants, agree about moving to the next level, he needs to move EL full time and pick up contracts abroad. He signed for Stal Gorzow in Poland but hasn't been used, and when you see the riders he is competing with you can understand why, maybe he would be better looking at one of the lower leagues in Poland and get a regular place in the team each Sunday, where even there the standard in at least as good and possibly better than our PL but from what Cook has said he will double up again next year.
  23. There`s not a team out there that wouldn't have Cook in their team, he has proved himself as one of the best riders in the PL. Ok he has an opinion, and sometimes that opinion is mis-judged but what he does on track seems good enough to me.
