Stand to be corrected here, but I think the nearest ambulance station is literally 5mins from the track, of course that is presuming the ambulance isn't out on call.

On your first point, IMO this is the issue, namely customers standing around waiting for the meeting to resume, obviously the treatment of any injuries come first, but if there was extra paramedic cover the meeting could continue. Berwick Speedway have taken huge steps forward, especially with their fans in mind, I am sure they will address this issue.

Giving the theme of the last few pages, I hate doing this but I would like to make a point about the racing that did happen last night, during which I thought Liam Carr looked far more aggressive than of late and scored decent points in doing so.

Rye House Rockets ‏@RyeHouseFans 53m Silver: "I am sad to see Jason step down. He has done a fine job during difficult times and he has my appreciation for that.” Looking at this Bunyan stepped down.

Ipswich must be the most frustrating team in the PL, on paper the 1-7 they have look as good as anything else in the league, but they are so inconsistent.

Rye House have a new captain. Rye House Rockets ‏@RyeHouseFans 1m Edward Kennett will take over the Rockets captaincy following Jason Bunyan's decision to step down & concentrate on his own form

Your right, though that could be opening a whole new can of worms.

Desperate message across to our editorial on Sunday from Belgium, where he played 3. round of the Dutch League. During the competition as a result of the injury after the fall, Grzegorz Knapp. During the competition the Dutch League (Heusden-Zolder) with the participation of two Polish players came to the tragic consequences of collapse. In 5. men competed in Lelystad Windmills Grzegorz Knapp had an awful-looking. The damage, which was a Polish player were very extensive. Despite its attempts at resuscitation he died. Grzegorz Knapp recently was mainly known for his work with Ice Speedwayu . I have translated this from the Sportewefaty.pl site, condolences to all family and friends. A truly sad day for our sport.

I agree with you, as I posted earlier today I`m much more interested in what Berwick will do to avoid the long periods of no track action when we are waiting for the transfer of an injured rider to the County ambulance.

Nothing to do with me on this occasion, all the work of Mr Lawson.

Yes I was wrong, which is why I have posted an apology to Dr Fortune in post 166.

Richard Lawson ‏@RlracingLawson 4m I forgot we weren't allowed to tell the truth. Only Been on twitter a week.. Oh the drama! #offtogetdrunk Make of this what you will.

Seems I have got the wrong end of the stick, thanks for the people who have sent me PM`s, I am happy to be corrected and now realise the events of last night had nothing to do with Dr Fortune. Therefore I would like to make a full apology to Dr Fortune.

So far we have had one person saying doctor was drunk and another saying he wasn't, if he wasn't then I`d say Mr Lawson needs to withdraw his comments, issuing a full apology to Dr Fortune. If Fortune was under the influence then he and/or Berwick Speedway are in trouble, it has to be one or the other. In view of the seriousness of the accusations I`m sure a statement will be issued by the club very soon, and more importantly an update on Kus & Wethers.

True but what if it is true, that could be just as or more serious, please note people I said if. I saw the doctor on the centre green so cant make any judgement on his state.

To be frank I couldn't car less whether the replacement doctor was drunk, I`m far more bothered about getting adequate medical cover at Shielfield every Saturday night so we avoid paying customers sitting around with the possibility of losing races, or in last nights case a NJL Final.

I`m sure Berwick will do all they can to get on the charm offensive this week, I think Lawson was ill-advised to tweet that in his opinion on the doctor, however if he is right is very worrying that this was allowed to happen.

Last night was the first time we have not completed a 15Ht PL match, though if there is a delay the junior riders can forget about getting out on track, for example last night there was due to be a NJL Cup Final after the PL meeting. It is indeed, hopefully it will be brought to the attention of the Berwick Promotion, I sure it will be.

Sums everything up, it is to be hoped that the issues will be addressed by Berwick Speedway for next week against Peterborough, or in the near future at least.

Woffinden and Harris are nailed on, after that you can choose any two from Worrall, Cook, Bridger, King, Barker, Kennett etc. Its a pity Scott Nicholls isn't available as he would be in the team.

After the events at Berwick last night, I`m not sure speedway can be, or deserves saving.

Disappointing but not unexpected, sadly.

Giving the praise the track has had this year, last night was a step back. Hopefully it was just a blip and we have a good race track next week.

It was mentioned on the night, though I`m not sure how true it was, and anyway the rain put pay to that.
