Nicki Barrett.

Quite a statement from Somerset today.

I agree with you though I think we need to get past Rye House first, we need to hope that bother Belle Vue and Kings Lynn are busy on those nights, that at least would take away Worrall and Lambert.

No.

Piffle, there is now reason why Kennett couldn't have been at Plymouth, had he really wanted to of course, which is where the truth probably lies.

Last time he aimed for Newcastle he hit Durham, close but no cigar.

Even if covers had been laid Friday afternoon before the rain came I doubt they would've saved this meeting as it rained well into the evening last night meaning we would never had got anything like 15 heats. I take Fromafar`s point about covers but they do come to the rescue of some meetings and more clubs should be looking at them as they help to avoid the situation we have now where clubs are forced to run financial crippling double headers or run meetings on off nights just to try and make the cut off date. Only problem could be where clubs are the tenants and their stadium owners aren't keen for covers to be on the speedway track.

Rye House tie far from over, Berwick should do enough to get through but with so many defeats lately confidence must be low.

Coventry team from last night resembled a fair decent PL team, certainly no where near elite standard.

One Berwick rider who was racing last night was Leon Flint, he was racing in Round 7 of the 250cc Youth Championships at Eastbourne, where he won to extend his lead at the top of the current standings. One Berwick rider who is going places.

To much rain, right decision.

With Somerset`s meeting at Edinburgh last night being called off I`m sure they would be keen to re-arrange our meeting and the Edinburgh one on consecutive nights, or as Edinburgh`s alternative race day is a Saturday how about two meetings in one day, Saturday afternoon Armadale, Saturday night Berwick. Clubs, who are looking for a play off place might need consider things like that to make the cut off date, or maybe the cut off date could be pushed back.

Lets wait and see.

Damned if you hang on and see what the weather brings, or damned if you call it off early and go with the forecast, with the rain yesterday afternoon and evening and a poor forecast for this afternoon I think this will prove to be the right decision.

Unless the track is covered now I doubt they will save this meeting, been raining now for a while and forecast to rain most of the night. Tomorrows forecast doesn't look crash hot either. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2655819?day=1

Bad news for the club to see the new consortium resign, hopefully they wont walk away entirely as that could be just about it for Berwick Speedway. They must have their reasons, lots of rumours, but without them or people like them there`s no way the current owners could continue running speedway in Berwick. I posted the other day that Berwick Speedway needed a shake up and a new direction, hopefully that will happen sooner than later. I take it the news wasn't mentioned in the latest news letter. Surely the less they post the better.

Don`t see the points from R/R being near to what Fisher would've got so Edinburgh might be on the wrong end of a hammering.

Bellego is in some very decent form right now, carry that into this meeting and I can see him on the rostrum.

Best wishes to Charlie for a full and speedy recovery.

Covers.

Point 2 is about the only thing I agree with, the Redcar Newcastle PL fixture is an original fixture so takes president over this re-arranged one, so it might be worth asking those at Kings Lynn why agree to a Thursday night fixture knowing full well they would be without two of their riders. And no this wouldn't happen on Poland or Sweden, as they run squad systems in the most part.

You are correct, both Lambert and rose will be at Redcar this Thursday, certainly strengthens Newcastle for an away win.

Woffinden seems to be saying if your not doing things my way I`m off, now I don`t know what the exact issues are he has that is stopping him riding for Team GB next year, maybe some kind of statement from Woffinden and/or Team GB would help, I note there is nothing mentioned on the BSPA site.
