I agree, there are still a number of interesting permutations. It's becoming quite fascinating this.

Jeez, it's like pulling teeth with some folk on here!

Changes at the BSPA conference, if I remember correctly?

But were you not proposing Pepe as a signing? Always with the problems...

Looks different to the Supporters' Club to me? BEST, now that is a blast from the past! If I am not mistaken, there was quite a bit of "history" behind that!

Well done, you reeled them in nicely

I've no idea, but I guess there is still a slim chance. I can always hope!

I'm not disagreeing, but why is there a meeting? Is there some ambiguity in Allen's situation that needs clarification? I don't know, that's for sure!

It's not my permission to give, Taffy! Yes, but they have subsequently mentioned that the situation has become less clear. I refer to the newsletter releases, in particular. They are awaiting a decision that appears to be out of their hands. You wouldn't buy in stock before you knew the final wholesale price. Would you? Just trying to educate

May I refer you to the above: the two highlighted statements are fundamentally incompatible.

Any opportunity... There is obviously a situation which is requiring clarification (as has been officially communicated several times). I would surmise that, contractually, "crossing the ts and dotting the is" was done and no "gun jumping" occurred. So, your latest cheap shot is likely erroneous. Now, one can imagine the furore on here if Allen had been dropped whilst there was still a meeting to be held - and a decision to be made - by other authorities. Keep going though, mate, one of these days you will get what you wish for: but it might just remove a reason to exist, for some

They are on the web JIm!!!!

You're right, they have now released on several occasions that they are awaiting final confirmation. It would make no sense for them to finalise their team until they know for sure. I'd wager that they have a few options for both scenarios.

There is still a meeting to be had with regard to Allen's average, as far as I am aware. It would be madness to make any final decisions until that his taken place. I'd still prefer to have him in the team: if possible. However, if it turns out he doesn't fit. There are still some interesting combinations out there. That was the point I didn't quite make very well earlier on!

There are still some interesting combinations possible, but that is making the assumption that we don;t sign Allen, or that he is on a 7.

Berwick team now taking shape. http://www.berwickbandits.co/article/bandits-retain-trio-2015

I think as Neil previously suggested a 3 point rider would need to be signed to start the season and released once true averages are obtained. This could see Alex Edberg & Jake Allen at reserve depending on the make up of the top 5. Although, making the change at the first opportunity is crucial. We did this in 2001 with the 3 czechs and it set the club up for years with having 3 good assets. I would go with Taffy's idea of a Czech on a 5.00 too if available. Time for a glass half full approach and take a calculated risk, the other option of filling the team with 30+ year olds no one else wants does not appeal to me at all. Just my opinon, though

More words of wisdom from one of the few universally respected posters on here.

The one who looks like a certain celebrity?

Do not fret, you'll take some knocking off your perch, pal! Cue "I'm not your pal" response. Bloody right I was!

The man who demanded to know why Vissing wasn't riding for Berwick, purely on t'Internet hearsay, is declaring someone silly. Oh the irony

The fans will want to know what the team lineup is before deciding whether or not to go, surely?

Only a day to the match and they haven't posted their team yet

Beat me to it!

Heard the full team today, if you are nice to me, I might post in the morning.
