An "out and out" No1 is a rider that can win important races Home and Away like heats 13 & 15. Berwick did not have that rider in a lot of meetings especially away from home. Based on green sheet av.from start of season. Vissing. -0.20 Doolan. -0.40 Bellego. -0.30 Jensen. +0.64 Kus. +1.33 Wethers. -1.29 Edberg. 0.00. Did well to finish 4th IMO. .

Horton is just a wide-boy wouldn't trust him to run a raffle,why do they keep giving him clubs to run ,guaranteed failure.Peterborough is one of the finest racing tracks in the country.

Impressed with Nike in junior meeting

Mr Rising needs to keep Bert Harkins of the "sherbets" before he does his column in the the Star,this week he states Peter Waite was helping exBandit Martin Smolinski in the pits,did Smolinski ever ride for Berwick ,IMO No.

Straight Knock-out is the obvious answer,be interesting to see if anything changes next season .(doubt it though).

Simon Stead 9.96 is hardly shabby.

Find it hard to believe where Edinburgh get there forecasts,never seen any that didn't suggest the wet weather was coming back in this evening(if it ever stopped in most of the Lothians).probably gambled with it being Newcastle and fairly local opposition.How many times this season have they said Definately On only to call off late on.

It's well known in the sport regarding Berwicks wages policy which is correct,the sad fact about the sport is that all the Promotions can't stick together pay a sensible points rate that they can all afford and be a viable Club. But that will never happen to much one-upmanship among Clubs run mainly by enthusiasts with money that soon diminishes once the wages bill lands on their lap.Set a pay rate if the riders don't want to play tell them where to go,it's better than being Champs at the end off the season and Bankrupt .The crowds I have seen around the country certainly are not paying for the running costs of the majority of Clubs.

To many fixtures have failed to be re arranged because Teams don't want to ride because of missing riders (riding elsewhere).next season there has to be cut off dates KO Cup and League cup if not ridden then the Team who can't ride concedes tie.

These Czech riders being mentioned in this topic are all exciting talents but given their Continental commitments can't see them coming to Berwick for a weekend fixture and more important IMO the money on offer.

That's good enough for the fan club.

think the playoff should be either top 4 or. Maybe top 8 and knock out formula, eliminates dead rubbers.

This is a Monarchs win IMO .

He is only one of many, will soon be forgotten if he is not around.Speedway doesn't need the publicity he brings to the sport.

Peterborough are not in play offs

Fair play to Harris on the night,but he must have thought it was his Birthday when the rain made the track to his liking . Covetti could have caused severe embarrassment to BSI if Kildemand had not fallen and the race re-run

They even use R/R in NL these days ,sad times for the sport.

It's ridiculous to give local riders wild cards in this situation.they should go back through the qualifiers and pick next in line what if the other "local" had got through, also they are spoilers when really they should not be there.

He certainly does long track and grass track so unless he was giving it up it is a waste of time +too old IMO lets sign riders for the future.

should the Title of this Post not be changed to the correct Starting Time.It is quite misleading.

Heard a rumour that it was a rumour .

Agree,needs revamped possibly to same as EL ,Top 4 Play off.It could be Berwick vWorkington in a couple of weeks time are meaningless after this week end.3 week gap which Berwick are having is not what you want at this time of year.

If they have any sense they will go to Ipswich.£25 to watch a sub standard ELRC is a joke .

Apologies ,misread your Post. Doh!!

There's a few dreamers on this topic.Reality will soon kick in though.
