Don't think this is about Berwick. No matter what club had been logged in for that date for a Championship match would have been bumped to get the BSN match on, and complete the section.
A few hypotheticals here, but as tonight is now off, Dan T won't have raced for Monarchs before going missing tomorrow.
If the match at Berwick is on tomorrow, it seems that Edinburgh must replace him with a reduced facility.
Let's see what happens........

Viv Muddle has just turned 16, so he'll be looking to join the other teenage Aussie prospects here, or in Europe like Beau Bailey Has he got UK partiality -- l don't think he's got a State Title qualification for a visa?
Nice idea in an ideal world, but hopelessly impracticable.
I agree with Steve Park (!!!!) that such a competition would mean the lower-order riders (who might need it most) would be deprived of early-season action under racing conditions.
However, what rules the idea out in this day and age is that none of the clubs could afford it!
Paying your top earners for three away meetings out of the takings from just one home 'gate' would be an impossible financial burden.
Late changes to line-up. Dan Gilkes will be replaced by Jason Edwards, and Nick Morris' place will be taken by Berwick team-mate Reid Battye, making his UK debut after an impressive showing at Berwick's P&P last night
Co-inciding with Speedway Star's unmissable Season Preview issue, which will offer details of ALL the tracks and teams......
Worry-ye-not, folks. It's happening!
The Star article made perfect sense to me. Without naming names, it answers enough questions to satisfy all but the most-demanding of forum panic-merchants.
