Forecast now showing rain till around 7pm, then becoming drier. I`ve been confident of seeing speedway all day, for the last couple of hours we have had steady now heaving rain, I leave now in hope rather than confidence.

Rain heavier than before, still misty, weather has closed right in over the last hour or so.

We have a heavy mist and drizzle in Berwick just now, it seems there has been rain all around Berwick today which has all missed Berwick, until now.

Drizzle has started again.

The weathers Gods have certainly smiled on Berwick today, the forecast heavy showers so far haven't turned up. Its been dull, misty and grey all day and but for a sprinkling of rain around lunchtime its been dry, so looks like we will get a meeting tonight. PS I wouldn't mind a pound every time we here the word smug from the centre green this evening.

The drizzle has now all but stopped, bit misty, at the minute IMO there isn't any reason why we shouldn't get a meeting tonight, lets hope it stays that way.

Fairly steady light drizzle now, looks well set in, hopefully this will go over soon.

Dry in Berwick overnight and dry right now, though it is very cloudy. Thundery showers are forecast from mid-morning to mid-afternoon, then its an improving picture, so right now its all down to how many or how heavy the showers are that will determine if we get racing tonight.

Don't worry I use my own calculations, its far more accurate. Nonsense, the title of this thread is "end of Monarchs unbeaten run", we have nothing to fear.

How many points we get from R/R determine whether we win this meeting or not, Wethers, Jensen, Carr and Kus are the eligible riders. I`m thinking Kus could be a busy boy IMO.

Best wishes to Schramm on a long and happy retirement.

Footy is a loose term for what is normally served up on the pitch.

With the weather being so lovely in Berwick today its difficult to believe the forecast for tomorrow isn't so clever, but not so clever it is. Saturday will be a warm and humid day with the threat of heavy thundery rain showers, mostly in the morning and the middle part of the day. From mid-afternoon onwards the forecast is an improving one, hopefully the damage will not have been done by then. Fingers crossed we miss most of the rain and are treated to a decent meeting.

Sounds are great idea, but it would take some setting up but if we could get it going it would be a huge positive from this forum.

Quite possibly, so all Peterborough have to do then is re-declare using another 3pt average rider.

Should these changes, including Schlein, fit, then I don't see any reason why Peterborough should be able to re-declare.

One would like to believe that Berwick would make "every effort to put on the best possible show" for each and every meeting staged at Shielfield.

Anywhere that will have him.

Aspegren is racing in Sweden, Aarnio is still racing around Europe.

Did you book on line or by phone.

I was told about the possibility of pickpockets while in Prague, happily everything was fine and to be honest I felt no more threatened there than walking around any big city, you just need to be careful, for example is probably isn't the best idea to be walking around late at night with hundreds of pounds worth of camera sticking out your bag, especially around the touristy bits like Charles Bridge or Wenslases Square.

Having already sacked him would Sheffield be allowed to re-introduce Roynon, and would the rider be all that keen on the idea anyway.

Have a look at Travel Plus, they do all the GP`s and usually organise a league meeting into your trip.

I broke my GP virginity at Prague this year and had a fantastic time, lovely city, easy travelling and food & drink cheap.

Never been to Cardiff before but giving it some serious thought about next year. I have asked friends who have been before and it seems staying just outside Cardiff is the cheaper option. One stayed at the Travelodge Hotel in the services on the M4 which according to the Travelodge site is 8-5m from the stadium, so might look at that, others stayed in Caerphilly or Newport.
