I hope Newcastle will be at full strength for the PL fixture, as for tonight there is still enough riders in the Diamonds team to cause a problem or two for the home side.

I know this was only a challenge, but with heat 4 protected for the number 7s surely Wethers couldn't replace Carr when Carr touched the tapes. Or is that not in the rules? It just seems a way to get round the protected element if you're a team manager, rightly or wrongly.

It was allowed because "it's only a Challenge match." Won't be allowed in League matches etc.

The guy in the announcers box said if it had been a PL match, Carr would have to go off 15 metres. No tactical rides allowed either. Just a challenge so both sides agreed to bend the rules a little.

More encouraging signs for Berwick tonight. The first was when I turned up and the queue to get in was back onto the car park. Not seen that for a while. Following up from the result it was another good performance from Berwick against effectively a two man team. Lambert and Fisher almost untouchable all night. Will ten points be enough? Only time will tell. But it's been an encouraging start.

Also liked to see Liam Carr coming out for some extra laps after the meeting. To be honest I don't know why more riders don't do it. Especially new riders to the track.

And Leon Flint seems to get better and better every week, he looks fast and smooth on a bike. Really amazes me how many fans stay back and watch second half racing. Could be a message there?

Again the hospitality box was full and the meeting went smoothly. Early days but so far, so good.

Berwick continued their winning ways against a depleted Newcastle team, but you can only beat what`s in-front of you and Berwick did that. Berwick`s all round team strength was the key with all but Mellgren winning a race, Newcastle main threat came from young Lambert who was excellent both in terms of winning races on his own but also in his team riding with the equally impressive Ryan Fisher. Hopefully ten points will be enough to bring another trophy to Shielfield but with riders returning to the Newcastle we will need all of the ten points.

One big positive was the size of the crowd, the meeting was held up at the start to let people in, last weeks crowd was good but there look to be more there last night.

The usual turnstile staff will be back next week so there will be the 3 gates open. Can only apologize for the wait to get in (not been on a turnstile for a couple of years).
