Wethers' rides can be taken by Jorgensen, Stachyra and the two reserves, yes?

Is it maybe because he isn't allowed to wear his Glasgow kevlars?

Once again, Berwick seem to be showing other clubs the way. They all say they can't sign Polish riders, but it seems they can. If they are prepared to put in the hours and do the paperwork. Interesting signing, and perhaps not the last Pole to join a PL team in 2016, now we know it can be achieved.

Your points are noted, I'm sure. But Berwick impress many by their refusal to lay out the big money that would be required to attract a Harris, a Watt (really?) or a big-name continental tstar o Shielfield Park. They were recently sitting second in the league with a side constructed within a sensible budget. Had Sebastian Alden not been injured they'd possibly still be there. Berwick should be a guideline to others. Yes, the sport needs a real shake-up, no mistake about that. But that shake-up should be designed to keep clubs of more-modest means in business, not make more and more has-beens available to a Premier League which in the main can't afford them. Cut the PL costs, make it a viable, entertaining league and let EL clubs spend money they haven't got.

Surely, if Josef Franc had been able to fit all Berwick meetings into his calendar at this stage of the season, he'd have been in the team as soon as Sebastian Alden dropped from the No 1 slot?

Because several Polish clubs are in financial trouble and are simply not paying their riders, no matter what promises are made.

If you're a Pole, but not getting paid by a dodgy club in Poland, doesn't it make sense to tear up your Polish licence and come to the UK and take out an ACU licence to race here for a PL club? Berwick seem a club that's not scared to bring in riders from odd places like Argentina, Slovenia and Austria -- why not a good Pole?

Ipswich using Connor Mountain at No 7 --- is this to be a permanent move?

I meant riders -- but who will you be supporting?

Witches team all present and correct? No-one MIA?

The Tigers seem to have one --- Rene gets picked for about every third match!

Danny King will certainly be a popular winner with Berwick fans, who will doubtless give him a big welcome on Saturday night, in what will be his first match for the Witches as their British Champion.

Average is much too high to replace Hummel (6.61 0ver 5) and unlikely Berwick would take him on to replace Alden.

Yes indeed. Keep it in the family. Charlie Gjedde would fit as the No 1, too.

Good lord! Correctly spelled.

That's OK. Ged will fix it, he'll fiddle the forecast and buy a dry night

Jorgensen won Heats 13 & 15 at Scunthorpe for you, would have won 13 (but for chain coming off) and did win Heat 15 at Rye.

He is listed in Bears' regular line-up, logged with referee and SCB/BSPA for tomorrow night. This is all just forum-talk.

You can't, rules are quite clear. Where it might get cloudy is if Ipswich were rained off tomorrow, and Rene Bach doesn't turn that wheel....

Weather seems iffy, despite promises it will clear by evening. A classic case for covering the track during the day.

So, who's involved in Friday night's challenge match? Which team is Dan Bewley racing for? How much does it cost to get in? and other questions......

And the Chairman of the BSPA Management Committee is.....?

That might be the Wednesday meeting (same week) you're thinking about!

Thank you. Clear now -- my problem was caused by Sky labelling him as a Draft Reserve when they listed the team photos at the start of the show.

I don't see much EL racing, other than on Sky. Have I missed something? How can Australian Sam Masters be an Elitle League Draft Rider? Surely these were designated to be British lads, drafted into the Elite League to bring them on, and ultimately benefit British speedway?
