Now that Jason Doyle has qualified for next year SGP series, will that lesson the chances of Ward getting a GP pick, should he need one of course.

Edberg is not my favourite rider, but to be fair to the lad he has done a decent job since coming into the team, he replaced Liam Carr and I think there`s not doubt he has scored more than Carr would've. Also there are other attractions to getting Edberg into the team. Maybe a reserve pairing of Edberg and Barrett, both Berwick assets.

Nobody should boycott this meeting as I don't see what that would achieve, its hardly the fault of Sheffield Speedway that many riders of varying clubs find a play-off meeting in Poland more enticing than the chance to become PLRC, I`m sure it will be a decent meeting.

Dis-agree, even with the prat Cook, Edinburgh have been top for longest, and finished as top team, I think and hope they will win the play-offs. Maybe Mr Cook was high on the delights of winning at Berwick last night that clouded his judgement when posting his tweet.

I agree but for the good of the sport, and as a deterrent to other riders who may see Dudek getting away with a complete ban I hope he serves his year. In some ways I think Dudek is fortunate to get a ban of only a year, it could've been longer.

I thought Alden had retired.

I agree it was an excellent comeback from Edinburgh and in the end they deserved their win.

Craig Cook @the_cookstar · 10h Stick that in yer pipe and smoke it! This drive home back from the hole is much better with 3 points in the bag bye bye bandits Do you mean this little beauty, IMO Cook is the top rider in the PL, and once again this season he has lead the Monarchs superbly, but there`s a way to win and a way to lose. Sadly Cook doesn't come over very well with tweets like this, its clear he doesn't like Berwick or its track, might be an idea to keep things like that to yourself Craig.

Dudek can appeal after six months that he year ban be shortened, coincidently that might happen just before the start of the Polish season, I hope any appeal be rejected and the rider serves his full year ban.

I agree, Berwick have had a decent season, we have deserved our place in the play-offs and even managed to win some away meetings. I like the idea of a big hitting No1 and always have done, however if your going down that route you need a top set of reserves. Berwick this season went for strength in depth and it worked. I hope they go down the same route next year, but we will need new riders if the team is to improve.

ASAP.

Unless there is a strange set of results between Edinburgh and Workington, Berwick`s play-off ambitions are over for this year. Fair play to Edinburgh, only providing 6 race winners and your still winning the meeting takes a bit of doing but that's what happened last night, no coincidence that their fortunes changed once Cook got going, but their real star was Snedden. Three crucial falls while in scoring positions for Edberg, Vissing and Bellego cost Berwick dear, Doolan again was Berwick`s top rider but leading by 10pts at the end of HT10 and going on to lose needs looking at, not the first time that Berwick have lost the second half of the meeting. But the promotion can look back on an improving season in 2014, hopefully we will improve still further for 2015.

In that same meeting Franc scored seven from four including two race wins, I`m sure the promotion will have done their homework to get the best possible guest, as in the reserve position our guest will have to score good points which I`m sure Wethers would've done.

Who on there brother, Ward yes, but Mr Rising hasn't done anything to receive the kind of childish remarks some have posted on here.

Simots scored 9+2 for Plymouth at Berwick in May, that was from seven rides. I agree Franc in a reserve position would've been a good choice, hopefully Simota will do the job tonight.

Cloudy start but there are signs of things brightening up which is the forecast, obviously now we are in the play-offs a 3pt home win is a must. Hopefully Snedden will be over his illness and back in the Monarchs team, if he isn't the Edinburgh promotion will need a better guest than Max Clegg, who they used last night, if they are to get anything from Shielfield tonight.

Thirty nine points round Armadale is something of an achievement for Berwick, though sadly there were no points to be had. Creditable scores from Doolan, Edberg and Wethers, while our No1, a former Edinburgh rider didn't bother the scorers to much, though to be fair to Vissing he does have a big meeting in Poland on Sunday to concentrate on, certainly way more important than representing our club at Sheffield in the PLRC. How he got to be considered good enough to do Ht15 beggars belief.

Cant we get this thread back to slagging off the drunk Ward, that at least is something we can all agree on.

How I would like to be a fly on the wall of that conversation.

Couldn't Eastbourne Speedway, whether under Dugard or someone else, look at racing in the PL or NL for a season or two. There is life after the EL.

Reasonable is my middle name. It would be nice if other people within speedway posted on here, after all its not all bad.

I`ve always thought that Philip Rising posted on here as a speedway fan, albeit a speedway fan with connections, but a speedway fan non the less. Sad others aren't able to see that.

With no Snedden, Berwick must surely fancy their chances of dominating this meeting in the reserve positions at least.

Why should we dance to a tune played in Poland, surely its up to the BSPA to choose a date for the PLRC and its not as if a Sunday date for this meeting is a new thing. I think if a rider is going to represent one of our clubs then he should do so, irrespective of what's happening with any of his other clubs, its thinking like yours that have riders treating their clubs over here the way they do.

The Polish play off dates will have been known since the start of the season but obviously the teams in then wouldn't have been known till quite recently.
