100%. Riding for the mighties is definitely one of the more stress provoking things life can chuck at a person.

He looks less than impressed in the team photos.

Nah, folk are used to consistent disappointment so it wont be anything out of the ordinary either way.

Kildemand has a concussion why wouldn't he be back after that….

@crescent girlyou’ve been extremely quiet on here recently I thought it was your job to come on here and give the happy clappers their opinion and keep us ‘forum fannies’ in our place?

I genuinely find the silence from Berwick’s promotion at this stage absolutely astounding. I know theres various happy clappers on here who worship any words that they’re told by them but they’re having everyone for absolute mugs just as Cook is.

Absolutely no sympathy whatsoever for Berwicks promotion. In my eyes they are just as culpable as Cook is. As soon as he let Leicester down he should have been released. Another complete shambles that can be added to an already lengthy list.

100%. Just plain selfish of Kildemand to go and get himself a concussion. Should have thought of the fans before doing that.

If this is true and it turns out that Cook doesnt turn up at the first meeting then all 73 members of the Berwick promotion will deserve every bit of criticism they get.

Great approach. Speedway fans are always treat with the respect that paying a fortune to watch it should deserve so I’m sure this occasion wont be any different.

The silence from Berwick at this stage for me is quite remarkable. Do they really just expect people to rock up to the first meeting without a clue whether or not Cook will actually bother turning up? As usual, fans taken for complete mugs. I’m going to send my brick back and ask for a refund.

What about Keynan Rew?

Not good news for Berwick at all but in some ways at least its happened before the season has started so theres a little bit of time to replace him. Cant imagine he’ll get another gig in a speedway team after this.

My biggest worry for Berwick is how long it will take before Craig Cook and KIldemand have a big fall out. Both extremely fiery characters so lets hope Dickson manages to keep them both in check.

Wesley Waite. Enough said.

Crikey I wasnt expecting that. Should be entertaining to see PK go anyways. Credit to them for that signing.

Equally as clueless.

Thanks.

For those of us not in the know whats the position with Shlein? Been offered a lucrative position in his day job which means he’ll have to give speedway up or has he been offered a team spot with another club?

I thought it was ‘The Brewery Field’ for you this year.

Was it really though? He’s gone on and had a relatively decent career on the continent I doubt he looks back and thinks an extra season or two at Glasgow might have made him world champion.

Superb signing in theory but I do worry about all the baggage the fella carries particularly over the past 3 or 4 seasons. If his heads right however I don't think he’ll be beaten many times at Shielfield next season.

He was predominantly a very good gater so if he does sign and he gets the bike set up to get out the gate he could prove potentially formidable at home. As you say though, if Etheridge is included in any Berwick side you can just immediately write off another season because regardless of average he's garbage. As the saying goes; 'anyone can make a mistake but only an idiot makes the same mistake time and time again'.

A very Berwick esque signing if this is true. Just get Jye announced as well and I’m sure the season tickets will go like hot cakes 😄
