I thought when Dennis was going through the list it wasn't official it was just how it stood at that particular time. Thanks for the info.

Has the riders championship line-up been decided yet or will it be decided on the September averages? I see on the rolling averages up to last night Aaron is top by 0.04. If the September averages are used then it could be all to race for tonight between the top two to represent the Bandits at Sheffield.

If you take Jake Allan's home average (+5%) you could fit any Berwick rider in and he is 5th in your averages. I think that's probably the reason Berwick has strong reserves as Scunny has a lot more top end strength and Berwick has a lot stronger reserves (Berwick has just over 2 points between 1-7 and Scunny has over 6.5 points).

Aaron and David swapped round (SGB Twitter).

It said something about the last regular league meeting of the season on Facebook. Maybe the promotion are looking to see if we have a chance of making the playoffs before deciding if there are any more meetings?

Not sure if he would. He didn't race enough meetings to alter his average and with Rye meetings being removed he would sign on his converted average as in theory he didn't race any meetings in the top flight. Most matches he raced in were as a temp signing for Stuart Robson or as a guest The others had averages and have signed on the last average they had (all except Kasprzak are lower than what they started the season on presumably to make it easier to sign the riders).

Bet Jye sent him a well done text.

Good to see a Berwick rider helping a team destroy a team who decided to drop a Berwick rider.

£1293.31 on website. Well done to Berwick and Edinburgh fans.

Probably. Sign a rider on a 3, his average goes up 1.23 before he rides a meeting and then bring in a 4 point rider (only in speedway).

The Berwick number 1 would be a second string at Edinburgh. Heat 1 he was right on Victor's tail for most of the race, heard no. 3 bike faulty in heat 3 (about when Josh passed him), no5 up with Josh most of the race until going into the pits on last bend, heat 13 were racing each other instead of worrying about catching the Edinburgh riders. Ricky is a lot better rider than getting beat by a big margin (he could ride the same line as he did when he was in front). Did you think there was a lot of difference in the track at Berwick at the start of the season when it was rained off and the track at Edinburgh on Friday night before the start? Good luck for the rest of the season if Berwick don't make the playoffs.

Possibly or people having a laugh with regards people being called real fans. How have you enjoyed the last 4 or 5 Berwick home matches? I think both and don't know to much regarding the Edinburgh trust except that it's separate from the speedway and they donate money to the Edinburgh promotion every month.

Victor in heat 1 and Theo in heat 2 seemed to cope ok with gate 1 so it couldn't be horrific? I seen a good few Monarchs gate and go into bend 1 in leading positions and come out bend 2 behind the Bandits (that's where the Monarchs probably lost the meeting with it happening various times).

Last week people were on about how good Rene was by riding and how bad Claus was by not. At least Claus didn't make Glasgow race with a conference league rider. That's at least twice Workington have been left short handed by them racing in Poland (the fours). Surely the SCB can make a stand regarding Dan. I remember a few years ago David Bellego was suspended by his federation when he was going to race for Berwick instead of France. They should be able to say the same to Poland (he races in Britain or we suspend his licence).

I thought I saw in an Edinburgh report that Aaron was at 5 at Berwick. Wasn't paying a lot of attention so will need to recheck.

Jorgensen was in the Kings Lynn team at the start of the season. Would be harsh if a team who signed him part way through the season had priority.

Will find out if he is just missing due to being banned (does the 7 day suspension for being ill apply in the national league?) or if he is still ill at the next Birmingham meeting.

Seems so. I looked last Friday at the fixtures and didn't see a KOC or Shield match in the fixtures on the SGB website.

I think it all depends how you read it. I thought he was on about next season when he said 2019. Shows that different people read the same thing differently.

Just showing that even at the highest level there is some give so it's not only league referee's that could be stricter.

Greg was still mucking about when the timer reached zero at Cardiff and he wasn't excluded.

Always think it's harsh when riders get dropped after improving their average (when not injured). Would Riss have fitted in the team at the start of the season? Wouldn't fit.

This season (before Berwick matches) he had scored 98 points (and 10 bonus points) from 89 races (Glasgow program). It will also depend what scores from last season he is dropping.

Rory wasn't as good as usual but the same happens on all tracks. He won the Open and top scored for his team in the celebration 4's at Edinburgh but only scored half a dozen points or so when Ipswich were there so why didn't he score more for his Ipswich team? Despite the fact Glasgow could still have got a draw with 5-1's in the remaining heats they used their number 8 (who I am glad they used) so that says more about the Glasgow team manager than it says about a guest rider.

Interesting reading in the Speedway Star this week about the make up of the league (race nights) and fixtures.
