Going to be a cracking battle at reserve tonight, according to the Berwick site they are giving this weekends team line ups that sees NB Jacobsen and Jye Etheridge at reserve for Berwick while Newcastle have Mathew Wethers and Lasse Bjerre. Is is asking to much to put the teams in their one to seven. Weekend team line-ups Berwick: Aaron Summers, Kevin Doolan (captain), Leon Flint, Dany Gappmaier, Coty Garcia, Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen, Jye Etheridge Newcastle: Steve Worrall (captain), Danny Phillips, Thomas Jorgensen, Simon Lambert, Max Clegg, Lasse Bjerre, Matthew Wethers News

Comfortable win for Falubaz, like him or loathe him Nicki Pedersen still has what it takes to cut it at the top level, poor from Torun with the Holder brothers virtually anonymous.

Now that this thread has stumbled onto BSF, as long as there are no call offs the teams look to be lining up as follows. Berwick 1 Aaron Summers 2 Kevin Doolan 3 Danny Gappmaier 4 Jye Etheridge 5 NB Jacobsen 6 Coty Garcia 7 Leon Flint Newcastle 1 Steve Worrall 2 Simon Lambert 3 Lasse Bjerre 4 Mathew Wethers 5 Thomas Jorgensen 6 Danny Phillips 7 Max Clegg Our local loon seems to think the track covers will be required, maybe under his rock, but the forecast looks reasonable right through to Saturday night. https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2655819

Can they do that though, he was declared but never actually signed. Anyway if Cook has ended up of the wrong side of Buster Chapman then there is only one winner there.

Good luck to Aaron Summers on his Panthers debut.

Surely with his superb grasp and use of the English language the club could/should employ him as our press officer in charge of press releases, news letters, web site etc.

Not quite sure what the point is meant to be here, actually Aaron looked very impressive last night and will do his very best for Peterborough, remember he`s only there short term so those who aren`t happy with him in the team wont have to be un-happy for long.

Havent seen a thread started for today's meeting at Newcastle, Redcar team news is Leon Flint comes in as a guest for Jack Smith.

Enjoyed last night, decent enough racing infront of what seemed to be a decent crowd. All seven Berwick showed up well with Coty Garcia catching the eye the most, hopefully Danny Ayres will be ok after his crash while Ty Proctor might as well have stayed at home. Season ticket collected before hand, looking at the list of names on the season ticket list it looks like many have taking up the clubs offer which can only be good news.

How can Justin Sedgeman be added to this meeting, he`s been advertised as being in the Berwick Bordernaplis for a while now. Surely having accepted Berwick`s invitation he should stick to it.

Maybe he can afford to turn his back on seven rides and up to £1000, and would rather be at Belle Vue.

Happy Friday everybody

Mr Ward blocked me some time ago on Twitter, and judging by his latest rant its something i`m quite pleased with.

Good to see Aaron summers getting fixed up with a Premiership team, even for a short term having signed for Peterborough.

Over the last few days spring has very much sprung in Berwick, and the forecast for tomorrow looks promising to. https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2655819

Your probably right but as others have said it is what it is, and the chances of the track shape changing anytime soon are next to zero. Track shape is important but we`ve seen good and great meetings from time to time at Berwick with the current shape so its not as if it can`t be done, but the will and the effort have to be there in the first place to do so.

I think I`m right in saying Shielfield Park is on a long term rolling lease from the Council to the Berwick rangers trust so if the football moves out the lease would move to and/or become void. Giving Shielfield`s location I would most of it would be turned into houses as you say.

That Belle Vue thing is the Peter Craven Memorial meeting, and if its true that a rider can make upwards of £1000 on Saturday then its just plain crazy. The club brought this meeting forward to be the first meeting to give the riders some competitive practice and let them get up to speed before the league racing starts.

How much do riders get in SGP when they all have the same fork covers and race jacket, with sponsors other than their own on. Last season Craig Cook being one.

Giving that has been advertising on social media for a UK mechanic I`m guessing yes.

Happy Wednesday everybody.

To be honest I would expect most of the riders to do just that and treat Saturday`s meeting as competitive practice, and to be honest I dont blame them.

I think Josh McDonald is in the line up for Saturday along with Matty Wethers, Luke Ruddick, Kyle Bickley, Theo Pijper, Justin Sedgeman, Nico Covatti, Ty Proctor, Danny Ayres, James sargeat, Jacob Bukhave plus the Berwick seven.

Reports suggest its a broken foot.

Good article and hard to argue with on so many points. For me perfectly summed up by the following. Corcoran describes the camaraderie in the sport as the glue that holds it together but is damning on the reasons for speedway’s decline. “The bikes’ technology has changed but the presentation has not,” he says. “There has been a distinct lack of innovation and investment and it has been a race to the bottom rather than the top. The sport screams out for a Bernie Ecclestone or Barry Hearn character to grab it and run with it. “There is nobody centrally driving the sport. If you were a potential sponsor from a big brand you wouldn’t have been approached by anybody. Same goes for TV. They have had centrally negotiated TV contracts but they have been pitiful because the guys you are dealing with are, with respect, scrap metal merchants and used-car salesmen.”
