IMO it just nice to see the Supporters Club get a mention in the clubs news letter.

Obviously I want Berwick to win, but if they don't and I can walk out of Shielfield at the end of the meeting and say I enjoyed the racing and it was worth the money, them I`m happy with that and looking forward to the next meeting, Saturday we got neither a win, enjoyment or value for money.

Apparently its all attention seeking or looking for self importance, in fact some crave so much of it they may not bother going for future meetings.

Very impressive new web site for the Supporters Club, well done to all concerned. http://www.berwickbanditssupportersclub.com/

IMO it would take a weird set of circumstances that would get Bunyan out of NZ and into Berwick, more likely we will see a rider with PL experience coming in to replace the injured Voldrih, who it appears will now be out until next year.

Unfortunately that is true, maybe we cant sustain the amount of clubs we have right now, or at least some clubs might have to drop a level to keep going, we might end up with two leagues, one slightly weaker than the current EL, the other slightly stronger than the current NL.

Clearly Glasgow are going to be a top team this season, so going to Ashfield and coming away with a hammering is something most teams will get the taste of this season. Hope Rene Bach is ok for Workington's next meeting.

Looking at some of this posters postings probably both.

Can you really see this promotion doing that.

I get your point but last season was a successful one, and you could count on the fingers of one hand the amount of home defeats, so there must've been some kind of home advantage, or was last years team that much better than this years.

Clearly young Shads is a leg man.

Seems to be taken the home team a time to work things out, presumably the home team have asked for the track to be this way, we just need to crack this gating lark and jobs a goodun.

And no matter he may think, he is no better nor worse than the rest of us.

Your right, though be careful, you may be hit with the "your just looking for self importance, or attention seeking" stick. Barker should not have ridden last night, it might've been wise for the club to insist he had at least one practice to see if there was a reaction, it wasn't as if they would struggle to find a guest given Barkers average.

Perfectly put, the Supporters Clubs doesn't even get a mention on the clubs news letters, I will check last nights programme as I am sure up coming events will be advertised there.

Apart from one poster who seems to believe everything is fine and dandy it would appear that many regulars are thinking about whether or not to go to the speedway in future weeks, when you hear long serving fans saying they haven't renewed season tickets, or fans for the first time ever walking out before the end that must have the alarm bells ringing. To be honest on what we saw last night you cant blame them, ultra slick track, gate and go processional racing lightened only by one excellent ride by Craig Cook who somehow managed to be last away from the tapes yet was yards clear by the end of the race. I actually felt sorry for some of the riders, particularly Doolan and Barker who in a couple of the later heats rode their you know what's off and went nowhere. Thankfully its Scunthorpe next week, defeat against them is unthinkable. This will be the first time this season where Berwick have raced on the same night of a SGP, it will be interesting to see the crowd level as, with no disrespect to them, the Scorpions don't exactly travel in huge numbers so the promotion will be relying on the people of Berwick and surrounding areas to come out and not stay at home.

EuroSport 1 at 7pm.

I`m sure he will, Edberg's kit is all top notch stuff and immaculately turned out, he has a big roll to play in the Berwick team and has started the season reasonably well, lets hope that keeps going tonight.

Dry night overnight in Berwick and dry now, improving weather picture for the rest of the day with no rain. Berwick will be victorious tonight, R/R will bring in more points for the unfortunate Voldrih, though with Alex Edberg blowing up his best motor at Somerset last night lets hope his second engine is as good as his first.

The names of Paco Castagna and Ed Krcmar was suggested during the close season as possible signings, maybe Berwick could go back to one of them. Obviously with signing young riders comes the chance of missing meetings, but it seems this is the way speedway in GB is going, positive thing with signing a Krcmar or a Castagna is the club gets a new asset, and if Voldrih is fit enough to resume his Berwick career later in the season we could have two new assets.

In an age where todays commentators never seem to stop talking Ritchie Benaud seemed to say a thousand words by using only one, a true gent and cricketing legend. RIP Ritchie

Spring has certainly sprung in Berwick this week, and the weather`s set fair for tomorrow. There might be a bit of light rain around dawn but that will clear to leave a dry, sunny Saturday, wont be quite as warm as of late, because of a stronger wing, but all in all a good forecast for Saturday.

Perfect illustration from Newcastle of how a strength in depth team works, apart from Crang only 2pts covering the rest of the side. Worrying times ahead by the sounds of things for Redcar.

Nigella, that should get a few more through the gate.
