Seems our team managers thinks the same regarding Gappmaier, I agree with you on Roynon, he can`t be on Berwick`s radar surely.

Hopefully Howe will be back sooner rather than later, if that`s the case I think we can cover his rides with R/R. As the averages stand I think Doolan, Bridger, Gappmaier and the reserves can be used.

Berge and Vissing both available though with having a contract in Poland that could rule Vissing out.

Good grief

To be fair to Lewis, or any other rider, when you get the chance of the kind of sponsorship deal Revolution were offering it would be very difficult to turn down. Clearly a switch to GM engines has worked for Bridger though.

Once again at Berwick track covers save the day, there may be fans out there shouting change the record but that`s now four meetings we have seen when if for no covers we wouldn't, saving fans, club and riders money not to mention trying to re-arrange fixtures. I know track covers wont be for every club, and maybe Berwick wouldnt have if not for the tie up with Olympic Marques, but its proved beyond doubt that they do work. As for the meeting itself Berwick were up against it before the horrific Ht9 crash, though Berwick are having no luck at the minute with losing Etheridge last week then Payne, Howe and Gappmaier last night. Berwick had no answer to the excellent Garrity and Redcar have a trump card in Perks in the reserve position.

Havent heard any update on Danny Ayres so hopefully no news is good news, David Howe hurts all over, also he thinks he has broken some ribs and just a chance of a broken arm though that is yet to be confirmed. Danny Ayres has declared himself fit to ride today in the Cradley v Lakeside meeting.

Inside stadium track staff now starting to take covers off, leave an extra five minutes as the stewards are doing bag searches at the turnstiles. Looking brighter now looks like covers might save the day again.

Yes we have had a proper thunderstorm. At the track and it's still raining

Or covers.

Meeting off

Forecast for this afternoon has changed for the better now, still a chance of catching a shower but not as much as before. Currently another lovely warm day.

Doesn't she have a point though, some of the contracts being handed out by some NL clubs make a mockery of what the league is supposed to do.

King's Lynn Speedway‏ @KLSpeedway 30s31 seconds agoMore KING’S Lynn regret to announce they have taken the decision to withdraw from the Travel Plus National League with immediate effect. Full statement from Kings Lynn Speedway. http://www.kingslynnstars.co/news.php?extend.30440

Information from Berwick Facebook page. STADIUM SECURITY UPDATE Following the attack at the Manchester Arena this week, when 22 lives were tragically lost and many injured, plus the updated change in the 'terror threat alert' across the UK to 'critical', new guidelines have been issued to all stadiums in the UK in order to ensure the safety of customers, fans and of staff. So with immediate effect, along with other stadiums and arenas in the UK, Shielfield Park Stadium is to put in place additional security measures and bag checks, these being carried by persons as they approach or come into the stadium. Stadium Management advise that if anyone refuses to allow their bag or bags to be searched by Stadium Security/Stewards, they will be REFUSED entry into the Stadium. It is therefore requested for safety and convenience that fans take this into account and arrive early (Gates open 6pm) if that is at all possible and consider not bringing in bags at all or bring only essential items in small bags. Customers are reminded that there is a wide range of food and beverages on sale within the Stadium at reasonable prices, so there is no need to bring large bags containing items like flasks and own prepared or pre-purchased food items and in the interests of security they would ask that people desist from doing so. The club remind fans of stadium guidelines on bringing food and drink into the stadium, this contained within ‘Admission Details’ each week on Page 4 of the Meeting programme. The club and visiting club, Redcar, will hold a minute's standing silence before we start the racing tomorrow, Saturday 27th May, as a mark of respect to those who lost their lives on Monday and to their friends, families and the City of Manchester and invite all fans and staff to join them. The club remind everyone attending sporting meetings and other events across the country in the coming days, weeks and months that vigilance is necessary in these times.

Isnt it just like the thing, been gorgeous in Berwick this week with long spells of warm sunny weather, looking at tomorrows forecast that might change tomorrow afternoon. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2655819?day=1

Barker not racing for Redcar tonight in their home meeting with Scunthorpe, should he not make Berwick this Saturday that could swing things for the home team.

Bit to much gate and go IMO.

With Berwick losing the extra rides for Gappmaier then Bridger will need to show the kind of form many of us believe he is capable of. Must admit its a struggle to split these two for this Saturdays meeting.

Get to the meeting if you can, I`ve been to a couple of SWC events and an EL meeting and it never disappoints. Facilities are ok with refreshment facilities along home and back straight.

By his own admission Brough Park is not one of Danny`s favourite tracks, but he did step in at short notice and gave it a go, ok he could've done better but with the time and average Peterborough had tp play with Gappmaier was one of the better options.

But wins his second ride, much more like it from Nicki.

Much more encouraging for Pedersen there, showing NKI home on his own track.

All looked very promising for the first lap or so, then it was back to the same story, Nicki just isn`t quick enough just now.
