  1. Thats all well and good,but you must see some of the quotes that were attributed to your father in last fridays article as not excatly helpful,to say he will bulldoze the stadium and see how the fans like that does turn certain people against him.Maybe it was said in the heat of the moment,maybe he regrets his words but all its doing is strengthening the fans against him.
  2. Delighted to hear the Glasgow Tigers will continue next season and hopefully for many seasons to come.The place wouldnt be the same without them.
  3. While it may very well be true that Mr Bowden hasnt had his licence revoked,you`d think the BSPA would do well to look at the comments in this article and consider whether or not Mr Bowden really should be in control of a speedway club,to threaten to bulldoze a stadium seems a very petty way to respond to critisizm on a forum. It may just be the best thing for all concerned that Bowden and Plymouth Speedway go their separate ways.
  4. I saw it last night,again on replay,and I havent changed my opinion,that is that Holder was very lucky to be in the re-run,in any event I dont think it wouldve seen the World Championchip change hands as Pedersen wasnt quick enough all night.
  5. Not a subscriber then. I saw it last night,again on replay,and I havent changed my opinion,that is that Holder was very lucky to be in the re-run,in any event I dont think it wouldve seen the World Championchip change hands as Pedersen wasnt quick enough all night.
  6. Like it or not Chris Holder shouldve been excluded last night,the referee hid behind the first turn ruling which probably got him out of having to make a massive decision,had the accident happened on any other part of the track Holder wouldve gone,no doubt about that.
  7. After all the laps,all the heats and all the rounds Chris Holder comes out on top and is a deserved World Champ.
  8. I think the Edberg signing will suit next years team.
  9. Sign your top two,Ashworth & Alden would be my choices.Then sign your best two reserves,Id like to get one of those reserves to be Bellego,but it looks like his average will be just to high,so Id go for Dyer & Barrett,after that its calculaters out time. I get the point your making,and as I said myself the good thing on signing Albin is that he will become an asset.My point on his signing as to much of a gamble is this,a good number of people have walked away from Berwick Speedway dont go anymore,granted for a variety of reasons,if they return next March and Berwick start getting beat at home by carrying Albin,dont you really see them sticking around,I dont.We have tried the carrying rider way and Im afraid it doesnt work the majority of the time. I agree with you on this "riders on a false average",a riders average is just that,and if we are looking at Wilkinson & Schramm,then we really are in trouble.
  10. Nicki Pedersen Emil Sayfutdinov Chris Holder Martin Vacilik 1st Nicki Pedersen 2nd Chris Holder 3rd Creg Hancock 4th Emil Sayfutdinov 5th Tomasz Gollob 6th Jason Crump 7th Freddie Lindgren 8th Andreas Jonsson
  11. And what a couple of crackers they were,if you look back at my posts when King signed I thought it was a wrong move,and the less said about Jacobsen the better.
  12. Both of whom have struggled,Mudgway not in this years team dropped by Glasgow,to be picked up by Redcar weeks later,and Sike has hardly been seen anywhere near a speedway track. Its a gamble alright,and that IMO should be reason enough to steer clear of this signing.The plus side of course is that it adds to our asset base,but other than that Albins signing makes no sense.Dick Barrie of course will witter on about giving him a chance,but I dont think the time is right to be taking gambles.
  13. Agreed but Albins average isnt going to change for next season,I didnt see enough when he was here to suggest he will do anything but struggle,should he be given a tea spot next year.
  14. We really need to have a re-think as far as Albin is concerned IMO.
  15. Looking at Micheal Max on saturday,our offer has been accepted.
  16. The Albin signing was a good idea at the time,any chance to increase your asset base is normally a good chance,but things have changed.We have brought in Barrett & Dyer,both of whom need to be considered before Albin,like I said earlier there are better alternatives than Albin,to sign Albin after the season we have had would be a massive mistake IMO,but if Barrie`s said he`s signed then that might be that.
  17. No Mr Barrie is a nonentity to me,anyway he seems to be out new talent scout,God help us.
  18. Ah the old conspiracy theory,rain,sun,under strength team,or something else.Maybe the Glasgow riders are all keen golfers and they wanted home in tie to watch the Ryder Cup. Get in the hole.
  19. Im sure any new owner or potential new owner wouldnt have their decision swayed by how many turn up to next saturdays talk-in,but it doesnt hurt to have a full turnout.
  20. Many deep questions for a sunday evening there. Theres one overhead thats a real bugbear of mine but maybe this isnt the right time nor the place to air those views......just yet.
  21. If at all possible Id like Berwick to remain PL,though if it were a choice between NL speedway and no speedway,thens theres no choice really is there.I hope the promotion can confine this season to the history books and start afresh next March,but its easy for me to say that,Im not the one having to put my hand in my pocket to cover any losses.
  22. I think you will be right,but the shouldnt stop Machin and co at least offering some sort of terms to Ashworth,just on the principle of if you dont ask you dont get.After that of course and once his name has been circulated for a loan then you can bet there wont be just Berwick looking at a rider like Ashworth. I wouldnt be bothering with Complin either for the very reasons you give,though Id be amazed if he isnt in the team for next season,some supporters see to be blind to the fact we need to pick up points away from home. Agree with you on Albin,theres only our centre green presenter come talent spotter keen on the idea,there are better alternatives.
  23. Certainly well down on a normal Berwick v Glasgow match,biggest fact was there wasnt the usual support from our visitors who normally bring big numbers down.Im sure the promotion cant wait for this season to end,so they can take stock before hopefully moving on to next season.
