As others have said probably one of the best meetings I have seen at Berwick in a while, full credit to all 13 riders for their entertainment. Started off with Kyle Bickley setting a new NDL track record in Ht1 but the star of the night was Greg Blair with some incredible over taking especially in Ht9 with a last to first, hopefully that race will be put onto social media later this week as it needs to be seen to be believed. Great night`s racing and those who decide to stay away and miss the Bullets matches need to get themselves there.

Can`t we put this to bed.

Having checked the fixtures, and thanks to the Edinburgh Monarchs, a Newcastle v Berwick KOC Final this year is unlikely.

Its just a pity that at time of writing the Diamonds and the Bandits wont face each other again this season. Maybe a KOC Final.

I wasn't there last Sunday so cant comment on what did or did not happen, though with all arguments there will be two sides to the story. Have to pick you up on the sore losers, where have you been, Berwick have done a fair bit of losing over the last few season so shouldn't have anything to be sore about.

Apology Issues by Club Owner, Rob Grant. Club owner, Rob Grant has issued an apology to his patrons. This comes after strong foul and abrasive actions were directed to them after the completion of Heat 15 on Sunday night against the Berwick Bandits. Rob Grant commented, “we had an excellent uptake with our kids go free promotion and this made me even more annoyed by the actions of certain individuals directing strong and abusive behaviour towards my supporters. I feel even though it’s nothing to do with anyone in the Newcastle camp, I am responsible for the management of the prohibited area of the pits where my supporters were unfortunately targeted and I sincerely apologise for the actions of others. They have been dealt with and this sort of behaviour is unacceptable and won’t be tolerated by Newcastle Speedway. On behalf of Newcastle Speedway please accept my apologies and I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday for a great clash with the Glasgow Allied Vehicle Tigers." Taken from Facebook.

Meeting off due to on going electrical work at the stadium.

I`d be surprised is Bickley has his own equipment out in Poland to use so if he has Torun club bikes you wonder about the maintenance of those bikes.

Disappointing night for Kyle with only 2+1 in his sides home defeat. To get regular racing in Poland he will need to improve his scores.

Kyle Bickley gets another opportunity for his Polish club tomorrow in the ExtraLeague Under-24`s. This time its Torun v Ostrow, a Torun team sees Bickley joined by felloe Brit Jordan Palin. Meeting starts at 4pm and updates are here https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/relacja/131581/ks-torun-u-24-arged-malesa-ostrow-u-24

Expensive day for Scott Nicholls with two blown engines.

Said a couple of weeks that I`d be amazed if we see BWD in a Newcastle race jacket again.

Very unlikely Berwick will get anything with only five riders.

As expected Joe Thompson comes into the Wolves to cover for Leon Flint.

Leon Flint dislocated his shoulder at Berwick last night so is likely to be doubtful for his trip to Latvia.

Woffinden ends with 2pts, very poor. Not the only reason for Wroclaw`s defeat but a significant one as he is one of the team leaders.

I think you mean that Berwick are single handily highlighting the inefficiencies of other tracks to bring up to the standard of their own.

Best wishes to Ty Proctor.

Again very slow, at this rate he will be back in our Premiership before to much longer.

Tai Woffinden very slow in his first two rides.

The Birmingham promotion took plenty stick over lack of medical cover at the Berwick meeting, mostly justified. They deserve some credit for taking this action, and it does help with meetings continuing. For example last nights meeting at Berwick was able to continue after Leon Flint crashed and needed medical attention but because there was a second paramedic there the meeting kept going.

Extra medical cover at Birmingham from this Wednesday http://www.birmingham-speedway.com/news.php?extend.3153
