No no fairs fair I posted something that some on here have taken offence at, though no offence was intended, and for that I was wrong and have apologized. Lesson learned.

And before anyone else posts it after yesterday I`m guessing I`m going to be one.

Frustrating rider at times, capable of big scores but also capable of going through patches where you wonder where the next win is coming from. Seems to have done ok over the last couple of seasons racing in the Swedish Leagues, if he brings that form with him he could be a trump card for Rye House.

For those who found offence in a post I made on here yesterday, I wholeheartedly apologies, non was ever meant and if it came across as so then I was wrong.

Normally I decide not to reply your posts but I aint letting this beauty go, at no point did I mention Wethers horrible crash last year, nor would I, its you that brought it up, probably to take another cheap shot. I wish Wethers all the best at Workington, but I think Berwick would be better looking else where, maybe a newcomer to Berwick and/or PL racing. Keep up the cheap shots though.

And let us all be thankful for that.

Wethers last average on the BSPA site is 5-50, if he signs that leaves a fraction over three for the last rider.

That particular can of worms was opened a while ago, seems Berwick are resting their hopes that Allen will declared a 5pt assessed average, and if he is then happy days, if of course he is declared a seven then Berwick will need to get the calculator out to accommodate him and drop riders that have already been signed.

Don't think anyone would argue with the Barker signing, top PL rider on a top PL average, if he can maintain that average over the season that will give us a genuine out and out No1 and score lots of points in doing so. But Ben cant do it all on his own, so its important the other riders step up and back our No1 up.

I take it in that case that he has at least been looked at, could the club put out a news letter saying how proud they are about Castagna racing in such high pedigree meetings, they normally do to cover other riders, but I agree any rider missing lots of Saturdays is no good or indeed any Berwick meetings, especially if we don't get a guest so he may be a no go. Un-proven in UK competition a bit like Allen then, should they go through with his signing of course.

His was name was mentioned pre-Xmas, apparently the distance he would have to travel would be the problem, though if there`s a contract and a job at the end of it you`d think it would be worth while making the effort.

So in other words Edberg has ridden on and off for three seasons and is yet to hit the assessed average he started with, and Edberg last year was second reserve as he had a top scoring reserve as a partner. But your right if Edberg can ride to a 5pt average and above hopefully he will be doing well, and as it looks like he will be the senior reserve in the team in term of averages so he will need to.

And just how do you work that out, Somerset have changed their side to fit under the points limit, Berwick on the other hand......

As of the last newsletter no, but they are still on the look out so here`s hoping, going into a new season without a main team sponsor would be a blow to the club. Decent shout, it would be great if we could sign two new riders, but I think we only have room for one assessed average rider. No point in bringing facts to this argument, some don't like that.

I knew Ward would have a cunning plan, not for one minute though did I think this forum would be at the fore front of Wards thinking, especially after what some have written about him on here, but cheers Darcy all the same.

Try taking that argument to Berwick and their pursuit of Jake Allen.

Untill Castanga gets a true average I`m not so sure Berwick would get a guest as I don't think you get a guest facility for assessed average riders, also would the BSPA recognize Italian Champs as a reason for allowing guests, Under-21`s different matter though I think you would only get a guest facility for the three Finals.

Paco Castanga would be the one I would go for, I know he is keen to find a PL place and is not as much of a gamble than others. Problem is, how many Saturday nights would he miss due to Italian Champs, Under-21`s and the like.

End of the month and not a minute to soon.

No problem. But you appear to be wanting to start an argument nobody else wants, maybe after giving up on other arguments, so I am glad to have cleared matter up.

Why should it, if anyone out there wants to cough up £20 for the benefits in the newsletter then they should, if they don't then don't, its that simple really.

Aye right. On another subject and relevant to only one person on here, Dean Felton.

This time last year the club were telling us they would only announce signings after the t`s were crossed and i`s dotted, they would jump the gun unlike other clubs.

How can this be an out of court settlement.

Not at Berwick.
