God to read Matej Kus's comments in this weeks Speedway Star on his time at Berwick this year and the prospect of a return next year

Well done to everyone who contributed to the SRBF collection once again a terrific a amount of money was raised (£1350 ) a great effort by all concerned for this very worthy cause

Seeing as Aaron Summers spends most of his Saturday nights at Shielfield anyways , maybe he's one we should consider

Anyone know what the total for Saturday nights Ben fund collection was ?

Might need to move race nights to accommodate him

Read the post it says IF there was an open cheque book , everyone knows it won't happen Even before last night events it was very unlikely , now there's no chance Anders & Jason would both be good options IMHO

Personally I wouldn't give Ward a wild card for next years GPs no matter how long his ban is , also if he wants in , in 2016 he should have to try and qualify like the rest of the riders .I don't care if he or any other rider puts bums in seats , if you break the rules you get punished .

Kozza might not get a visa anyways like this year Looks like Doyles entry into the GP circus has killed that dream off

Only difference is Wolbert was signed as a No 1 , not a second string reserve

Bringing Seb back ( if he hasn't retired ) would be a mistake , he's yesterdays news and was a bit hit and miss at times. Berwick should look for some new blood , Andres Thomsen would be a good option if he's still keen to race over here . As for the rest of the current septet of riders I'd definitely keep Kus & Jensen , Vissing and Doolan are possibles depending on the make up of the team Claus isn't a No1 IMHO and Doolan would be decent 2nd string but he's no more than that , I think that Matty might call it day at the end of the season now that he's married he's got others to consider and his lates crash make help him make his mind up as he's not our rider it's not our decision anyway but I don't see Edinburgh using him . The jury is still out for me on Alex looks good at times but at others times he's awful .

Have Stormy & Deek been to the same kebab shop ? Should've stuck to Andersons quality butchers products

It was the just the Glasgow turnout I was referring too (75% I think ) , Salmond couldn't even convince His own people up north to vote yes, so I suppose he had to go

What about the 25% that couldn't be arsed to go and vote , can they form their own little enclave ?

Nothing there to see IMHO . Looks like it's sour grapes to me , unless he's got some proof he should shut up .

Aren't there are some non Polish( Germany or Chezc I think ) teams in the lower leagues in Poland ?So what's the difference ? Wales is not an independant country though

Posted in irony I hope

Scottish mother I think and Dick Barrie's play on words , " Jock " Steen Jensen , after the football manager

The still outstanding match in the Northern section is Glasgow v Berwick , which will have no affect on the final standings as Edinburgh have already won the group , I think it's unlikely to take place now . The final is between Edinburgh & Peterborough no dates yet as far as I know

Little or no chance of an away win in the play offs IMHO ,as we'll most likely have the Monarchs to deal with and whoever else they pick , but qualification for the play offs and a 4 th place finish is in itself progress on previous seasons

Didn't expect Vissing to do much at Sheffield tonight TBH ,his away form hasn't been that great lately , added to that we had no Jensen and R/R for him was never goinrg to do us any favours now the two Mattys have switched places , Stormy is still working his way back to fitness so it's a big ask for him to take 7 rides

Probably the track to blame

A point away from home is better than nothing I suppose , certainly an improvement on recent away performances

Bigger crowd on a Saturday night , makes sense

It's not just the Star riders that ride on the continent , there are plenty riders who wouldn't be classed as top riders riding in the P/L who are already racing in Poland and other countries teams like Glasgow are already struggling to get a decent team on track

One possible problem I can see is rider availability , Edinburgh , Berwick , Glasgow & Newcastle are all weekend tracks (and in Berwick's case no chance of moving race nights ) that would men less chance of signing any top riders who would no doubt be committed to racing abroad at the weekend it would also mean no GP riders not only for the home but also for visiting teams , would fans be willing to turn up and watch depleted teams racing most weeks ?
