Thats one hell of an accusation and one I hope you have some kind of evidence of.

I dont think the only reason that Edbergs in the team is to do with the racesuits,but you can bet it wasnt half a good bargining chip when it came to talking over a 2013 contract. Im sure Dyer was on Berwicks radar at the end of last season,but it wouldve been daft not to sign Barrett given his starting average and Edberg is an asset,so was likely to get a place,race suits or not.One possibility of course was to buy Dyer as an asset but with the club being strapped for cash and the whole asset system up in the air it might not have been the wisest investment.

You can have as many pirotechnics as you like that light up the Berwick skyline,you can have the sexiest ladies with the skimpiest outfits jiggling their bits to the latest tune from one of the trendy new boy bands,you can have the latest and greatest in hardware software or menswear. At the end of the day its all about what happens out on track,and if the paying public see races being all but over after one lap,and from the gate racing they will vote with their feet.

IMO Redcars trump card could be Dyer at reserve,he showed last year that he is capable of big scores round Shielfield and could be in for a busy night tomorrow should Redcar run with r/r as they did last night and Matej Kus continue his stuttering start to the season.

The only way Davey will answer his critics,me included,is to score points on track.Trouble is as others have said hes had six seasons over here and never got anywhere near a respectable average.Heres hoping the break from speedway has done him good and he will prove a decent signing for the Bears. Pray God forgive me for expressing an opinion.

With you there FTG racing is no good to nobody.

Berwick 1 Seb Alden 2 David Bellego 3 Kozza Smith 4 Mathew Wethers 5 Robin Aspegren 6 Alex Edberg 7 Nicki Barrett Redcar 1 Ulrich Ostergaard 2 Hugh Skidmore 3 Aaron Summers 4 Carl Wilkinson 5 Matej Kus 6 Mitchel Davey 7 Micky Dyer KOC at Sheilfield this with Redcar in town,the away team had better hope their performances improve for this one as so far this season they have taken three beatens.Micky Dyer could be in for a busy night should Wilkinson & Kus continue their poor performances. Comfortable home win for me.

Arent those two riders much of a muchness though,Hart seems to have disappeared from the scene.

Wasnt at the meeting so no I didnt read it.

Ive know doubt that Alden was signed as a full time asset as at that time the club and the rider thought that they had a long term relationship in place.That changed by the looks of things for a variety of reasons. Would Berwick get a loan fee from Kings Lynn,with Kozza Smith coming the other way maybe there was a swap agreement for the season.

You could say that about a multitude of riders though.

To be honest I thought that Davey had retired,if he is in as a injury replacement and is only in the team till Dilger gets fit then I suppose its an adequate signing.If he is signed full time then Redcar are going to struggle even more than they have already,already this season Kus and Wilkinson arent excatly burning up the tracks,the last thing they need is to carry another rider.

Fair enough,maybe then the author of the report on the Berwick site couldve been more careful with the termonology they used as it clearly says "name circulated for transfer".I feel its an important issue as some rely on this service so they can have an opinion on certain matters. Oh yes bought on a full transfer from Swindon.

Berwick Manager Ian Rae announced on Wednesday (28th November), “Seb has been in discussions with us and for family and personal reasons feels he cannot commit to Premier League racing in 2013. This has meant him often being away from Friday to Monday each week and with more and more Premier tracks racing weekends it has not helped. With this in mind he has expressed a desire to race full time Elite League and Berwick have today circulated his name for Transfer to all Elite clubs and one track is already in talks with him.” Taking from the Berwick site Wednesday November 28th.

As you know Im normally the epitome of positivity,but a week or three ago you posed the question "Seb who",we will find out come this saturday wont we. As for racing for his parent club,I thought that Alden had been transfered to Kings Lynn as a full-time star.

I was answering your post,answering IT rather well to IMO.

I think its time this Rough Park arguement was put to bed now,Newcastle season in season out always seem to put together a decent team,a team normally towards the top end of the PL and sometimes right at the very top.To do that they need good riders,and you`d think that those good riders wouldnt want to race on a rough track every week but they seem to come back each season.

Cresent Girls mate makes a guest appearance this coming saturday. At least we will find out who "Seb who" is.

Does seem puzzling to say the least,yes Barrett wouldve been having muliple rides but surely theres times when needs must and I think yesterday was one of those times.Berwick needed a rider in Ht12 with the potential of scoring points and maybe even winning the race,Barrett has to have been a better option than Edberg whose performance up till then had been woeful. Still you live and learn.

Not sure if theres a rule that stops riders riding after a concussion.

Concussion.

A point won away from home is never a bad thing,and gaining points away from home is not something Berwick`s been very good at.Time will tell of course if it`s a good point,we will see how other teams fair at Glasgow in the next few weeks.

Blowing away the cobwebs they may be,but thats a hell of a beating in anyones language.

That`ll be me I take it.

No your right but you can bet the righteous crew will be along soon to exclaim Barkers wrong doings.
