This will be a though fixture , we've already seen how much "Flying Ryan " likes Shielfield could be a potential banana skin if we're not on top form . The result up there will mean nothing if we don't win this one , a win for Edinburgh vs Glasgow on Friday could see the Bandits in pole position in this section away wins are vital so we can afford any slips

What happened to the alleged set of track covers that where supposed to be used if a TV meeting was in doubt ? The track at Brewick was fully covered last night , the covers where removed about 10-15 mins before the start of the meeting and the surface was more or less bone dry underneath and the racing went ahead as planned

Are the Stock Cars on , on Sat night ? Is this the possible reason for calling it off , if the weather was bad would the track be ready in time ?

A weather update about 4:30 / 5pm would be most welcomed , save another wasted journey for those of us who have to travel a distance , thanks in advance

How's the weather looking ?

I can't understand why Edinburgh have objected when they don't have a meeting that night , no doubt someone " in the know " will explain all to us mere mortals who once again are being treated like mushrooms

Studio work will most likely go to someone like Craig Doyle , with Scott Nicholls & or Sam Ermolenko as pundits , don't expect that there will be a change in the commentators or pits interviewers

Hasn't Christian Henry retired?

A bit like the extra verses of GSTQ that wee don't sing then

Advance Australia fair is their anthem as Billy Connolly once remarked about Daley Thompson's whistling through the anthem at a medal ceremony " He was probably bored "

At leat Australia have an anthem that is actually about their country, not some outdated monarchy . If North Korea forced people to sing about how great their leader is we'd be mocking them , but in this country we are quite happy to do it ourselves, time for a new anthem altogether I say, one that is actually about the UK

Excited are you ? Whatever floats your boat !

Everyone seems to be certain that Carr is nailed on , I suspect there might be more clubs than Berwick looking to sign him , question is how much are Berwick prepared to pay to secure his services ? Personally I'd rather see them pay him a wee bit more than sign a duff overseas rider

wow very nasty , fingers crossed for Jason

Dick Barie is in Australia, long trip back for a night in the B&G

Some promoters are far to busy trying to stab each other in the back too see the " big picture "

TBH. I can't see the N/L being a viable option as things stand ATM , the main reason being there's no local opposition unless the league structure changes our nearest local team would probably be Buxton , and they're hardly going to make up for losing the likes of Edinburgh or Glasgow are they ?

It's a pity he's not still involved in the sport in some capacity, he was a great guy new how to build good teams too , might have been a bit of a rogue but so where guys like Mike Parker the sport needs a few more characters.

I sometimes think that speedway promoters have a " Field of Dreams " attitude to meetings - " If we stage it they will come "

Send a letter to Santa Claus and he may grant you a Christmas wish , be cause there is as much chance of it happening that way than there is of an independent body being set up anytime soon

Seeing as people are naming teams for next season here's mine not sure on averages though T J Adam Elllis Kev Fish Barker Carr Coty

In the mid 1960's Lord Shawcross was commissioned by the Royal Automobile Club to do a report into Speedway , which at that time was in turmoil ( nothing new there then ) , from of his conclusions we saw the setting up of The New National League , of which Berwick where founder members , this of course led to the Premier League we have today .He also recommended that the sport was run by an independent ruling body , almost 50 years later we are still waiting on that to happen ,until we can remove blinkered self interest, and petty oneupmanship from the people running speedway it will never move on

Any of the team would be good . I wasn't meaning as rider , I was talking about using Liam a local guy to help promote the club in the local area .

All great ideas , we've got a local guy like Liam somebody local people can identify with why don we use him ?
