I hope they do

I think Leicester will pick Somerset , they will remember how well we did there , plus Redcar are the team to avoid the way they have rode since Riss' arrival

As Gaz says , it's all about opinions . I can only judge on meetings between the protagonists that I've seen . Redcar ran us close at Ashfield on both their visits this season . We beat Somerset relatively comfortably home and away , we coped with Leicester at home , denying them a point , while we only lost by 2 points down there in a meeting that we really should have won . Out of the other three sides in the play offs , Redcar are the one that I have the least confidence of beating over 2 legs

Yes Starke has been a big miss for us , and he rides Redcar pretty well . Redcar are the team with all the momentum, and i rate them favourites for the title . This meeting will be a guide to what sort of chance we have

Dress rehearsal for the play off semi final I would think. We ran you relatively close in the KO Cup , despite having Ty Proctor instead of Rasser . So it's a useful meeting to have at this stage of the season to get track time before the play offs

Jye Woffinden was your star last night

Likewise if we had Starke . But without the it's and buts , it was still a very good meeting

After last night I hope Berwick do reach the play offs , if you thought the tension and atmosphere was good last night , can you imagine a play off final

You should have stayed for a proper , competative meeting between two decent sides

On my way on the Choo Choo, this is going to be epic . C'mon the Bandits then c'mon the Tigers

Some of the times were in the 56's , so that doesn't suggest the track was really unfit . And the likes of Jake Allan , Ben Barker and Josh Auty didn't seem phased by it . Obviously it wasn't perfect given the amount of rain that had fallen on it on the days leading up to the meeting , but last week's heavy defeat had more to do with our mindset regarding the track , rather than the condition the track was in

I think if we hadn't had such a backlog , then the meeting last week wouldn't have went ahead . And that's the worry , if the same attitude is apparent tomorrow evening , then we'll be there for the taking

Yes i saw that , Rasser and Claus didn't exactly set the world alight tonight either .

So this is the starter dish before the much awaited Saturday double header . We have to bounce back after last Saturday's lamentable performance and it won't be easy against a Bandits side full of Ashfield specialists . Will THJ remember where Scotland is on a Friday now ? Which Ben Barker will turn up to guest for the Bandits ? And will we show a bit more fight than we did last week . If we get a dry day tomorrow , we'll find out .

Hard to really understand the reasons why . Pickerings injury didn't help, as has Heep's absence . But the two main reasons look like being Lawson's contribution from reserve wasn't what was hoped for and Wells has been poor on the road .

Season done then

Not so , it's a local dust up . If it were Berwick v Glasgow followed by Berwick against Eastbourne or Birmingham , I could see your point . But on this occasion everybody in attendance will have a team to support in both matches.

This is true

I gave yesterday a miss too cause I've seen too many disappointing riders championships at Sheffield . Seems yesterday carried on that tradition . It's a shame cause back in the nineties Sheffield was a great track . It was a damp squib the last time a top league track hosted our riders championship ( Swindon 2006) , but Belle Vue on a Saturday night might just be the thing to breathe new life into it

This is going to be awesome, really looking forward to it

Thanks for that , got it booked

Yes Sarj wasn't convincing there , but whoever thought Mikkel B Andersen was an improvement needs their head examined

Cheers
