Don't write Berwick off just yet, yes we are going to miss Bellego, Wethers and especially Kus big time on Saturday, but I`m sure our management will have the averages out choosing the best possible guests, our team seem to perform better when their up against it and it would be fair to say we are up against it on Saturday.

On that night Berwick had seven No7`s.

Berwick do indeed have a polyfoam fence, the curfew for last nights meeting was extended to 10pm I believe. On the decision to not to put Kus in Ht14, it should've happened but didn't and in the end Berwick won so no damage done, but in the form Matej is in at the minute its vital he gets his full seven rides as right now we have a No7 riding like a No1. You need to get up here and see it for real, I hope you will one day.

To be honest Berwick are making one or two teams look very ordinary this season.

Good point, though it wouldn't exactly make for good tv with the kind of hammerings Edinburgh have been handing out at home this season. Don't they now, I take it the New Holland flags that were hanging from the floodlight pylons will now be a regular feature, haven't seen them so far this season. I take it the couple of new tractors that graded the track last night will be there each and every week from now on. Not a fan of the pipes and drums myself but they will be attending all the meetings from now till the end of the season, to the best of my recollection they haven't been to a PL meeting so far this season, and the posters, anyone going into the club shop for their free Berwick v Somerset poster so the could cover the Borders would've come out empty handed. We even had the little cart that normally does the white line on the inside of the track doing the lines at the starting gate. All of the above great ideas, and I`m not knocking any of them or the kind of meeting the promotion put on last night, and its perfectly sensible for the club to make every effort to put on the best show possible, which they did, but to suggest its more or less the same as any other week is rather silly.

Very true, my shabbiness comment was more that Berwick would've known last night that Bellego and Kus would be missing on Saturday, they could've let their customers know.

We could use Berge as a guest for Kus, possibly allowing him seven rides.

Haven't checked the rules but we are missing our top averaged reserve, so could be allowed a guest.

Just watching the meeting over again, must say its coming over very well on Sky with some good comments from former riders Louis and Tatum. Funniest moment so far is the after race interview with Cook and Sedgeman after they had just collected a great 5-1 in Ht11. Cook says "there`s no passing round here at all" to which Chris Louis replies "bit unfair to say no passing as we have seen some from the home riders." Cook had the chance to be the hero for the Monarchs, yet couldnt manage to beat the Berwick No2 and a reserve.

Delighted to say that Aaron Fox was released from hospital late last night with mild concussion, he also is sore but nothing broken.

The fact that kus is missing has not been announced by Berwick, very shabby.

A typical post from the one who never goes on forums.

Yes Bellego away racing in the second Under-21 Final, should Berwick be missing the services of Matty wethers then we will get a guest for one and R/R for the other.

Quite an extraordinary night of racing at Shielfield, one which I am sure Sky would've lapped up. Meeting looked done and dusted at the end of Ht10, Berwick 18pts up, having seen off both tactical rides, but then a fantastic come back from Edinburgh which left us with a last heat decider, step up Bellego & Kus who became hero`s on the night. Obviously the meeting was marred by a nasty crash involving Matty Wethers and Aaron Fox, I haven't yet heard of any definitive news as yet on both riders but I hope for some good news later today on both riders. Take away the Sky razzamatazz and it was another good win for Berwick, over the team top of the pile. Wether its by luck or judgement but Berwick are on to something with this team, could turn out to be a very exciting end to the season. I haven't read the other post so I`m sorry if this has already been posted but it was announced last night that there will be a double header meeting coming up on the 23rd of August, with Newcastle and Rye House being the opposition, the meeting will start at 6-30pm. Also Berwick will take on Workington at Shielfield on Wednesday September 10th at 7-30pm, with admission prices being reduced to £10 for the meeting.

Not really, normally its more like December.

Its probably more like October than August but we will beat the weather tonight. Bits and pieces of rain for the last few hours but should be enough to affect things.

How so, should Berwick finish second, they would fully deserve that position.

There is no reason to stop anyone paying £20, hand over a £20 note and don't ask for any change.

Cheers, maybe a new career is opening up for me. Had rain for a while, strange thing is ground is hardly damp, perfect for the track IMO. Still quite windy though probably not as windy as early this morning, but you still consider this as a windy day. Looks like they are just putting up the Pearson/Tatum studio on the third bend banking, that`ll be fun for them.

Expect a visit from the Berwick Forum Police very soon, we all have to assume the meeting is on, apparently social media weather updates can be out dated and pessimistic. We are due to get some rain during the middle part of the day, though hopefully by evening these will have all blown over, if its as windy as yesterday and this morning poor old Nigel and Kelvin are in for an exciting evening.

Tomorrows forecast is okish, there will be showers around tomorrow but there will be a brisk wind which will blow any showers we get over pretty quickly hopefully. It will be on the cooler than of late, but there is nothing in the forecast at the minute that should put the meeting in doubt. Forecast duly delivered as requested, without a hint of pessimism.

If that were to happen we would still be going at Xmas.

I claim to be no such thing, my meteorology skills go no further than looking out of the window and posting what I see, or getting the weather forecast online, if that makes me a meteorologist then so be it.

Couldn't agree more, I`d love to know what weather system they use that makes their weather forecasting skills and predictions so right and ours on here so wrong, and as you say many weather updates are requested by travelling fans both from the Berwick area and from the away team. I`m sure the Berwick fans are grateful to the home supporters weather updates when Berwick are the away team.

More big points for a couple of riders in Poland today, Steen Jensen scored an impressive 10+4 in his Pila`s comfortable home win against Rawicz. Meanwhile over at Krosno Claus Vissing scored 14pts in his sides home defeat with Wanda Krakow.
