dantodan Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Here come the Diamonds minus the injured Stuart Robson and with a new guy in the side, Anton Rosen, whom I think might like Berwick's big fast track. George English has been looking to bring in a replacement for Stuart rather than use R/R for the rest of the season so if he is successful in bringing in another rider The Berwick fans will have a lot of writing to do on Saturday night.

If we are bringing a new rider in to replace Robbo, it has to be all done and dusted before the end of today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Newcastle have already won a number of trophies this season,and may go on to win more,so you`d think it only sporting that Berwick win this trophy,love thy neighbour and all that.Also,think of our trophy cleaning lady,she will have to seek other employment over the winter as our trophy cabinet isnt excatly brimming at the minute. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arson fire Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) This meeting is the last thing we need, with important league meetings and a cup final on the horizon.... Just hope we don't get any further injurys....and Berwick too of course. Edited August 29, 2013 by Arson fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that seems strange though even at the time of year it is being run to me, as there are not many spare dates to be used if we get a few rain offs. I had thought they may of ran a double header at Newcastle on Sunday as they were already there in the league, but it doesn't appear they are doing that either hmm........ Watch this space then I guess. Edited August 29, 2013 by mike7164 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated above it was only that way of thinking as both teams were there on the night & with possibly very few dates to go seemed to me like a possible option with no mention of a date in the fixtures (yet) and please remember as it stands we are running back to back nights in a couple of weeks.

bandits 13 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Or use the score from sundays league meeting for it, that would make sense but the more fixtures the better for berwick atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to back Premier League meetings, which have to be completed before the deadline for the Play-offs and therefore a damn sight more important than, what is in effect, a meaningless challenge match, with a trophy 'stuck on to it'.

dantodan Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Well I agree that the Tyne Tweed trophy is not that important compared to league matches etc. I am amazed that it has taken until now to mention it. It has always been a season opener sort of affair. So why was it not run earlier? I don't particularly want to pay to see this match at Brough but as I have a season ticket I will come along and support it anyway. In future I hope this sort on fixture will happen in march/april. On Sunday last we had a SRBF collection. Young Anton was in my part of the crowd collecting cash. He signed autographs and posed for pics for mobile phones etc. I hope he builds on success with our 2 matches against Workington, 3 heat wins will do for me. Go on kidda you should be in the 2014 diamonds team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantodan Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I didn't know that. Ian Thomas is/was a VIP at Workington and Newcastle So the TT Trophy still has to be accommodated at Brough and SHOULDN'T be in the playoffs section of the season we could have an injury against Berwick that will jeopardise our play off matches.

I agree that the league IS and SHOULD take prioity but it is still a fixture that needs to be fourfilled and if it is such a meaningless fixture why should anybody turn up? The fact of the matter IMO is they are or should be ALL meaningfull . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact of the matter IMO is they are or should be ALL meaningfull . It doesn't need to be fullfilled at all. If there is a blank date then run it, if not, bin it. What I meant by it being 'meaningless' is that it is, in context of the season as there are official fixtures need running. The Tyne/Tweed Trophy is an 'unofficial' fixture. Either run it at the start of the season, or, when a date is available, or at the end of the season. I don't remember people losing much sleep over the Tyne/Tees Trophy being binned a few years back. Much the same here IMO. Edited August 29, 2013 by The Abbott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Newcastle could come up to Berwick on saturday,win,which should give them a condidence boost ahead of their last remaining fixtures.I understand the reservation from some Newcastle fans,a few seasons ago Berwick went into the Young Shield meetings as the form team,a couple of challenge meetings against Redcar & Edinburgh if I remember correctly saw the team desimated by injuries.

The White Knight Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Best to get the League and Cup Meetings out of the way first - if time allows then the Tyne/Tweed Trophy could be run at the very end of the Season.

The fact of the matter IMO is they are or should be ALL meaningfull . It's not 'meaningless', it's a good excuse to go up to Berwick and enjoy their pies and racing on their nice track,,, unlike, I'm sure there will be some 'meaningless' play off fixtures !!! Anyway, looks R/R for Robbo now, ( will miss his efforts, if he ain't to be back), but looking at the averages,,, does it mean that both Tully and Ludo can take one ov his rides each, both being on 7.39 (well, from Sunday),,, or will they just spin for it, or see who's doing better ??? ,,, so,'boffins' out there, whats the rules on this and has it ever happened before ?

StevePark Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Club have to declare who is the higher of the two in the averages, unless they go down to the next decimal (for example if they were 7.392 and 7.391, as I don't know what the next decimals are, I'm using these as examples).
