How did Hume go Fromafar?  just hope Ippo stick with him and Mountain both have something Hume is raw but coming back from a serious injury was  always going to be hard.Just think Hume has a real bright future great win for Berwick nice to see the Swede do well as he is better rider than some of his scores suggest.

He really got stuck in ,he is a bit raw showed a fair bit of bottle after his coming together with Starke in a nasty 1st bend tangle and rode a great race in the re run to a 2nd.Thought he looked promising.Dont think he has ridden Berwick so did really well as I think it can be daunting to youngsters on 1st visit for just the sheer speed.

Think it’s time for changes at Ipswich.  Reluctantly I would release Danyon as we desperately need at least one decent reserve. Enter Nathan Greaves.

covatti and heeps to go too and be replaced by Kennett and use the remainder on whoever fits. 

It's already pretty clear reading match reports from the manager that not a single change will be made.....they need time.....I think that's the normal trotted out line.

Not really an option

With the late switch to include 2017 meetings and the Shield fixtures we are nearly 2 points over the limit despite Nico and Cam dropping

To replace Danyon with Greaves would mean a double switch. Dropping Nico or Cam woukd mean replacing whichever with a sub 4 point rider.....

That puts us back to square 1

While the Witches' faithful (or unfaithful) have rather taken over this match thread now, perhaps I could gently point out that -- right now -- reference to the BSPA website, and the Championship league table shows the Bandits are on top!

It won't last, probably not even when this afternoon's results are in, but right here, right now, Bandits are top of the table after defeating two of this season's much-more-fancied sides.......

(If I knew how to take a screenshot of the table and paste it on here, I surely would!)

Looks like we are stuck with this team then?    Should be okay for most of the fans.

Believe me Jason    Danyon will be a better rider than Greaves and saying that he is at Nathan's level now so why replace him madness.

God get behind your team man lost by eight at Berwick that is without Danny for me the reserves both English keep with them.The top five should carry the reserves anyway  they are not at the moment stick tight easy to make changes for change sake.

Can anyone tell me if the meetings are filmed this year and if so by who. Many Thanks

Yip, all meetings at Berwick (including recent British U-21 Final) are filmed by Tapes Up Productions.     Available at track of course, and from Tapes Up website.

Fair comment Baldy everyone are entitled to there own opinion, my take on it is how can the fans ever get an affinity with a rider and team when there are numerous changes every year.

I found it a bit monotonous, one good race heat 13.  I missed last week against Worky, but it does seem the magic ingredient is WATER

Even filling in the programme is no longer fun, can fill it in heat  bend 1 to 2 1st lap
