New To Speedway. Where To Start Etc.
screm replied to hammers66's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
You will receive much advice about how, where and why to enjoy your speedway. Get yourself up to Berwick and enjoy, after that anything else will be very much diminished returns. -
That's the one. That's it, his then mechanic, rider, kit, all laid out on the motorway.

Gp Qualifier Sat June 7th @ Berwick

I will give credit now. -
Decent idea, it would certainly help to stop the tactical lay downs, where a rider falls, looks up to see his teammate on the wrong end of a 5-1. Normally when that happens, and there`s a rerun you can guarantee the rider who was leading will be at the back. One problem though, if a rider was literally right on the back wheel of the rider in front, and there was a rerun, I think a 10m handicap is a bit to much of a penalty.

31/05 Prague Speedway Gp
screm replied to DutchGrasstrack's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I may not be the most popular at Berwick, but it hasn't yet come to going in disguise. I`m sitting in the B-section in Marketa, the tickets are in the car but I will put my seat number on here tomorrow. -
Gp Qualifier Sat June 7th @ Berwick
screm replied to screm's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
Saw nothing about live streaming of this meeting, maybe it will be shown on the FIM site. I think I`m right in saying last years Under-21 Final was shown on that site though it might not have been live. -
Time will tell, but its hardly a big step forward IMO.

CHRIS Harris and Craig Cook launch their World Championship qualifying programme at Berwick on Saturday June 7. Current Grand Prix rider Harris is looking to retain his place in the series for 2014 whilst Cook, who has made great strides in recent years, wants to establish himself on the international stage. Should the duo qualify from the Shielfield Park event, they will be just one meeting away from the Grand Prix Challenge which this year takes place at Italian venue Lonigo. Berwick will also welcome Poole’s Polish duo Przemyslaw Pawlicki and Maciej Janowski , and the line-up also includes top Danes Hans Andersen and Kenneth Bjerre, whilst Czech Republic rider Matej Kus will compete on his home circuit. Josh Grajczonek makes it three Pirates riders in the field and former Rye House and Peterborough star Linus Sundstrom is also included along with Leicester No.1 Jason Doyle. Berwick have confirmed special arrangements have been put in place for the event, with turnstiles open from 5pm ahead of the start of the meeting at 7pm. There will be additional catering and sales-points installed around the stadium. It has also been confirmed that the public will be permitted access to official practice earlier in the day. Doors will be open from 11.45am until 2pm, with the riders on-track for one hour from 12.30. Berwick bosses are delighted to have stepped in to stage the event after problems with the previous venue in Austria, and they expect it to provide a major boost to the local area too. Director George Hepburn said: “Last season when we staged the World U-21 Final there were visitors here from Latvia, the Czech Republic, Denmark and, notably, Poland. “Local businesses, hotels and the like reported a really impressive boom in business over that weekend, and with eleven nations to be represented here on June 7, an even greater influx of visitors has to be expected this time around.” LINE-UP: 1. Chris Harris (GB), 2. Jason Doyle (Australia), 3. Mathieu Tressarrieu (France), 4. Roland Benko (Hungary), 5. Tobias Kroner (Germany), 6. Kenneth Bjerre (Denmark), 7. Josh Grajczonek (Australia), 8. Maciej Janowski (Poland), 9. Linus Sundstrom (Sweden), 10. Tomas Suchanek (Czech Republic), 11. Matej Kus (Czech Republic), 12. Hans Andersen (Denmark), 13. Daniel Garrmaier (Austria), 14. Przemyslaw Pawlicki (Poland), 15. Theo Pijper (France), 16. Craig Cook (GB). Reserves: 17. Richard Lawson (GB) 18. Lewis Bridger (GB). For the ones who are bothered, this fine piece of work was taking from the good people on the BSPA site, and a fine piece of work it is to. -

Newcastle Diamonds V Ipswich Witches 25/5
screm replied to tilersrus's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
As a neutral last Sunday I thought it was an excellent meeting, on a decent track, there was passing and riders could race each other. No better example of that was Danny King in Ht13, going off 15m he passed one Ipswich rider and was hot on the heels of the other by the end. -

There wasn't to many Diamonds giving their team a sniff last night, and look what happened. Edinburgh are a decent team in great form but certainly not unbeatable. -

Davey broke a thigh racing at Sheffield for Edinburgh, I guess he is still needing more surgery to take out the metal work he needed in his leg. No disrespect to him but I don't think he is the answers to Newcastle's problem even if he had been fully fit. -

Mudgway not racing speedway anymore, Davey is injured and working as mechanic for Claus Vissing, IMO Chris Mills did little wrong last night. -

Giving the amount of fans that turned up to their last home meeting, not amongst their own fans it seems. -

I think the Monarchs will be a tougher nut to crack than the Witches were last night, though another performance like last night will certainly give Edinburgh something to think about. -
Newcastle Diamonds V Ipswich Witches 25/5
screm replied to tilersrus's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Newcastle fans should be hugely proud of their team this morning giving the effort they put in last night, a victory all the more remarkable when Newcastle had a weakened team and one of their better riders (Lindgren) didn't exactly have one of his better nights. Rider of the night was King, his ride in Ht13 from 15m was incredible, to get second was one thing but he was actually challenging for the lead. Credit to for Mills who was only dropped from Workington 24hrs previous, he fought hard throughout and his points went along way to helping Newcastle get their win. Excellent meeting, decent track, good night of speedway. -
Condolences to friends and family. Ride in Peace.
