Jonas' CMA will move to exactly 6.00

SPEEDWAY TRAINING TOMORROW! We will be back on track at Duns tomorrow morning, Saturday the 10th of June from 11am folks! A minimum donation of £20 is required to ride and day licenses are available for just £10 for riders without an official license. This session will be for riders with their own equipment only but minibikes and flat trackers are also welcome. See you trackside!

.....and he'd be 99!

Not really too sure about that one, Paulco.... In 1995/96, the "best in the world" were riding regularly at Shawfield, yet attendances actually dropped off so alarmingly it forced the two (different) operating promotions to close. History shows the northern tracks are always happiest -- and most profitable (and can therefore offer continuity of operation) -- when operating at "Division 2" level. This didn't stop Jack Young winning the World title, or guys like Carl Stonehewer or Craig Cook going to the GPs.

As a bystander, I can't help feeling you've got a personal spite against a very hard-working, steeped-in-speedway, club official.

This from Berwick's club media briefing this morning: High-flying Mildenhall Fen Tigers visit Shielfield Park on Saturday. That means skippers Greg Blair and Lee Complin going head-to-head for the third time this season with pulses still racing from their clash three weeks ago when the former Bandit guested for Workington. When the teams met at West Row last month it was Connor Coles, Danny Phillips and an inspired Jamie Halder who took the fight to Complin and Alfie Bowtell, going into heat 15 with the chance of a draw. Josh Embleton is sidelined by a chipped wrist and knee ligament damage sustained in a high speed crash against Workington, former Edinburgh teenager Mickie Simpson comes in. The Fen Tigers enjoyed back-to-back victories at Workington and at home to Belle Vue last weekend but lost a bruising top of the table encounter at Oxford on Tuesday night. Greg Blair said “Mildenhall are a good team and, from a personal point of view I’m looking forward to facing Lee (Complin) again. He’s a good mate and I know he’s keen to get one over me after Workington. “Both teams are packed with talent and the meetings have been so tight around the National League this year that the battle for the minor places is as important as race wins. “With the season over halfway through we didn’t plan to be sat at the bottom of the table but, despite everything, I don’t think our performances have been reflected by our points’ tally. “Against Oxford Mason (Watson) looked back to his old self after a tricky start to the season and a firing reserve is always going to be an advantage when the scores are tight.” The NDL clash will be followed by an NJL mini-match between Berwick Academy and Ashfield Giants. Tickets are available from www.berwickspeedway.com/tickets and the meeting will be livestreamed by BanditsTV! tv.berwickspeedway.com Bullets: Danny Phillips, Ben Rathbone, Connor Coles, Jamie Halder, Greg Blair, Mickie Simpson, Mason Watson Fen Tigers: Alfie Bowtell, Arran Butcher, Ben Trigger, George Congreve, Lee Complin, William Richardson, Josh Warren Academy: Owen Booth, Ben Rathbone, Rocco Webb, Charlie Luckham Giants: Tom Colley, Billy Budd, Lewis Hague, AN Other

Just to make things more interesting, Mickie Simpson will be replacing Josh Embleton in Berwick Bullets' line-up against the Bog Moggies on Saturday.........

He is named by Redcar at #3

Wouldn't it better to sort the dust, rather than dodge the wind direction?

Weather set fair for speedway this week, with a pepped-up Chargers squad incoming to test the Bullets, themselves with Ben Rathbone back in place of unlucky Archie. Danny Phillips being deservedly elevated to No 1 for the Bullets means a re-jigged home line-up, with Mason Watson and Josh Embleton declared fit again after missing the visit to Northside.. As ever, early-bird tickets are already on sale from: https://www.berwickspeedway.com/tickets/ As the club's advert tells us, you pay for the whole seat, but only need the edge! The usual bonuses of accompanied kids coming in free, a massive free car park, drinks at only £2 and a happy family Saturday show await. GHT BULLETS: 1 Danny Phillips, 2 Ben Rathbone, 3 Connor Coles, 4 Jamie Halder, 5 Greg Blair (captain) 6 Josh Embleton, 7 Mason Watson. CHARGERS: 1 Jordan Jenkins (captain) 2 Jacob Clouting, 3 Henry Atkins, 4 Jody Scott, 5 Ryan Kinsley, 6 Sam Woods, 7 Kelsey Dugard.

I suspect Lee -- around Shielfield -- will comfortably outscore what might have been expected from Connor (and no disrespect to him, he's doing well this season)..... But l'm not sure about your prediction of match result......

Britain wouldnt release Danish rides!

The return of the "Comics" after five years (far too long) absence should have Shielfield swinging on Saturday! GHT Bullets: 1 Connor Coles, 2 Archie Freeman (r/r), 3 Jamie Halder, 4 Danny Phillips, 5 Greg Blair (capt) 6 Mason Watson, 7 Josh Embleton Comets: 1 Lee Complin (guest), 2 Ace Pijper, 3 Sam McGurk, 4 Harry McGurk, 5 Luke Crang (capt), 6 Kelsey Dugard, 7 Elliot Kelly The shrewd addition of Lee Complin for Connor Bailey will give the visitors a considerable boost, and their line-up is certainly stuffed full of former Berwick riders who have represented Berwick at a number of levels --- but with the GHT Bullets yet to lose an NDL league or play-off match at Shielfield since their formation, Kevin Little's squad will certainly be shooting straight, and aiming to maintain the home record. Added attraction will be a 6-heat NJL contest between the Academy and the visiting Workington Meteors Academy: 1 Kieran Douglas, 2 Owen Booth, 3 Liam Morris, 4 Rocco Webb Meteors: 1 Callum Foy, 2 Laylan Richardson, 3 Emerson Betty, 4 Casper Kluczniak Comets followers going over to Berwick -- the club's nearest local derby -- on Saturday night should note the early-bird offer of advanced e-tickets by Bullets: Adults/Concessions/OAP/Students are only £12, Accompanied children (under 16) free Buy online before Saturday from: https://www.berwickspeedway.com/tickets/ Pay on the day price (cash at turnstiles or e-ticket) £14 21 races (National Development League match + Northern Junior League) -- tapes up at 7pm

The meeting at which Josh Auty was injured (home v Berwick) was abandoned after his crash. The result did not stand, so it wouldn't appear on his record.

Nope, not me.....

Not guilty, m'lud!

Good news is that Jonas Knudsen is hoping to take his place in the line-up on Saturday. Greg Blair continues in place of Nathan Stoneman. Scunny are changing their line-up, bringing in Nathan Ablitt to replace the very unlucky-to-be-dumped Joe Thompson and Max Clegg to fill the spot that Zaine Kennedy has not been able to take up after his injury in Australia. NDL teams are as expected, r/r for Archie.

As expected, it's Max Clegg and Nathan Ablitt coming in, Joe Thompson out. That's official.

Edinburgh Academy's match with Kent on Friday has Danny Phillips in as a guest in place of Nathan Ablitt, who is listed as being "on Championship duty"...... He ain't gonna be riding for Glasgow, Oxford or Birmingham.................

Thompson not listed in Scunthorpe's side on Friday

Maybe a bigger change, the Scorpions are naming Connor Mountain at reserve for Friday. No details of who'll be at #3 and #6 as yet.
