This could be to close to call,Morris is an excellent choice of guest but our reserves look weak,and its anyones guess as to how our new signing will go on his 1st trip to Shielfield.

 

Berwick 45 Leicester 45.

Oh no, not Nick Morris as guest he always scores bagfuls of points against the Lions.

Just wondered why Berwick kept Jacobsen & got rid of Branford ? I was impressed with Branford when he rode at Leicester for Redcar & when Berwick visited a couple of weeks ago, he seemed on the pace, tried 100% & looked far more interested than Jacobsen did & deserved more points for his efforts than he actually got.

Branford is injured torn cruciate knee ligament at his 1st home match vRye House season over unfortunately .Agree with you he was impressive in the away matches he rode

Sorry to hear about his injury.Hope he gets sorted for next season & gets a PL team ride,I'm sure he deserves a chance.

There isn’t really any pressure on Barrett to perform, mainly due to the performances of David and Robin who have both been riding well above their averages as of late.

 

Hopefully he turns out to be a Jorgensen or a Toft sort of standard.

Bit of a wet day in Berwick today,first half of the day anyway,though it is brighter now.Forecast for tonight is theres a chance of a shower but the secong half of the night should be dry.

Tomorrow the forecast is good,dry with some long spells of sunshine.

 

There isn’t really any pressure on Barrett to perform,

 

You think,hang on silly me yes you would think that,we`ve carried a rider or riders far to often this season and currently we sit bottom of the PL,yes we`ve had injuries and lots of them,the fact remains we need all our riders chipping in with points if we are to climb the PL.

Maybe we have decided to think about building for next season :t: sure someone not to long ago thought that was a bad idea :P. Assets young man assets the heart of a good side. We have had a crap season as far as injuries are concerned so we need to look ahead cause this years a right off.

Partly agree,the 4TT success has stopped it being a right off,though Im one who always looks at PL position as to how to judge our season and right now its non to clever.We do have meetings in hand on the clubs above us,so its vital we start picking up points,home especially but a point or two away wont hurt.

 

Im pleased with the signing of Barrett,as you say if he becomes a club asset then thats good news,if the rule is still 6 home 6 away for a rider to become an asset then Barrett wont become a Berwick asset this season as we dont have enough PL meetings left.

I would agree after the injury to Ashworth it was for the best to think about next season, assets alone aren't the heart of a good side, as Ashworth shows.

 

silly me

 

Agree

been looking up some of barretts meetings has a fairly good record came 3rd in recent danish championship behind kenny larsen and peter kildermand so hopefully that will bode well for the rest of the season good luck to him,and well done to the berwick promotion for not letting the season going to waste could have easily gone with r.r but take your hats off to them trying someone in mind for next season hope they have as much luck as the diamonds have had in recent years with there danes

It was dry in Berwick overnight,but as dawn broke the clouds moved in and soon after the rain.Its been for about the last hour,right now its still very dull but the rain is nowhere near as heavy,infact it may stop very soon.This weather is forecast to move away to leave a dry bright day.

With the rain yesterday,and this morning,track conditions should be excellent with the natural watering.
