Both Vissing and Jorgensen have selected to ride in a Danish Championship round, so Berwick will use a guest for one and R/R for the other. After his crash last night there must be a doubt about Edberg riding next Saturday, but I think as he is the lower average reserve we will have to go with a rider from the NL who isn't contracted to a PL side, sure someone will correct this if I am wrong.

Its likely to be a severely weakened and patched up Berwick team that take on Ipswich next Saturday, so hopefully Hall can get a few practise laps in somewhere this week to get himself ready for his first meeting for us.

Maybe I`m the only positive one on here, but Berwick have had troubled times in the past yet have kept going, I hope that remains the case for many years to come, but your right in the respect that if it does indeed close then seeing it return at a later stage would be virtually impossible.

A team change had to be made, Crang wasn't contributing, maybe winning races at NL level for Coventry for the rest of this season will see him return to PL racing next season more confident. Hall should make Berwick stronger from reserve starting next week with our KOC meeting with Ipswich.

Crowd was very poor last night, may have been the weather, may have been the club announcing in a recent newsletter that they had already forgotten about the League Cup, may be losing home meetings so early in the season whatever it is the promotion must be worried and need do something to get the missing fans back before its to late. There were suggestions on here a few weeks back that poor entertainment on track and a few home defeats would see fans voting with their feet, these suggestions were ridiculed as attention seeking, the fact is crowds are dwindling.

Alex Edberg has been released from hospital this morning and though he is very sore there are no broken bones, which after seeing his crash last night is something we can all welcome.

First off, best wishes to Alex Edberg, hopefully any injuries wont be bad ones and he will be back asap. Of the other riders who crashed tonight, Bach was on his feet soon after crashing, and Barrett though having to be with drawn due to an arm injury didn't need hospital treatment and stayed to watch the rest of the meeting, so should be able to take his place in the Workington team very soon. IMO we need to look at the position of Luke Crang in the team, its clear he is struggling at the minute and his scores are suffering, if there`s an opportunity to strengthen the reserve position I hope we take it. I am sure Luke is doing his best but the team must come first after Hall. Last but not least, best wishes to my friend Rocky, hope you are back very soon.

Ah but that isn't interpretation, that`s inebriation, sometimes inebriated as a newt.

Data interpretation is only for the weird, same with moisture content.

Maybe he`s just decided that whatever the rights and wrongs, or whatever he may think privately, its best to accept his ban and move on with the rest of his career. Time will tell but he might now be maturing as a person and a rider, if so then I applaud him for that, he has proved he has the talent to be a top rider, once he has served his ban I wish him the best of luck in trying to qualify for the SGP series.

Had a little bit of rain overnight, right now its dry and bright if a bit chilly, one or two clouds around but its mostly blue skies. Forecast is decent for the rest of the day, dry, bright with just a chance of the odd shower.

Post six predicts a thrashing, time will tell.

Virtually no chance of repeating last weeks rain off as the weather forecast is good for tomorrow, it will be bright and dry all day with a fresh south easterly breeze that will keep things on the cool side. Hopefully we will see a good meeting tomorrow night, even in the case of Berwick fans, we are going to see our team thrashed.

Must've missed that interview, maybe you could post a link.

It was in the speedway preview part on Radio Borders last Saturday, if there was a listen again feature I would post a link.

Barker has splashed out on new engines, so hopefully he will get back to the scores everyone knows he is capable of, starting against Workington this Saturday.

Bit short of water on the track, looks like this could be a dusty one.

Congratulations to Berwick asset Nicki Barrett on winning the individual meeting up at Glasgow today.

Rusty Harrison ‏@RustyH25 3h3 hours ago Just an update. Rusty's in a lot of pain. Broken shoulder blade, broken ribs and a collapsed lung. Hopefully know more later. Thanks. Kelly

Delighted to see Carr making a comeback to racing, and way ahead of schedule to, hopefully he will go back into the NL and win plenty of races before moving into the PL.

Helluva long way to travel for a rain off, even with an early call off.

Ah that's ok then, a coat that a fine gentleman with an eye for fashion would wear, in no way a flasher mac.

Define long coat, I`m a tad worried.

There`s two of us going to this, our hotel is £74 and two standing tickets have cost us £32. One thing though, I cant get my head around the fact that a seat ticket costs £38, and you don't even have a roof over your head.

No please, the good people of Spittal don't deserve that, even the tide wouldn't come in with that on view.
