So Edinburgh up first? Sounds stupid but I would of faced Glasgow first, more chance of getting more Glasgow fans than Edinburgh ones and its a longer trip home for them? Meaning they could leave after first meeting if they wanted to. Hopefully it doesn’t effect the crowd or any potential buses Glasgow hopefully have organised.

This is kind of a repeat of an earlier post but I've now clarified one or two bits.

Effectively each individual meeting of the double header is valued at £17 adult entry,  £13 concessions ... but it costs £30/£25 concessions to get in because that is what the promotion believes is a reasonable amount to ask for 30 heats of Championship speedway.

Anyone holding a rain-off ticket can use it against that  entry fee - ie an Edinburgh one is worth £10 off admission, a Glasgow one £17 or £13 concessions, a family and friends ticket £34 off the combined price of two entries (ie £60). There were no concessions or family and friend tickets issued at the Edinburgh meeting.

Anyone wishing to leave after the first meeting will receive a £13 refund on adult admission or the equivalent of what they paid. For example an adult who used an Edinburgh rain-off ticket and paid £20 to get in would be entitled to a £3 refund. Let's assume (even if it makes an ass out of u and me) that no Glasgow fan would use their rain-off ticket and then leave after the Edinburgh meeting!

They will only be able to claim that refund in the interval between the two meetings.  A ticket protocol will be in place to ensure that anyone wanting to leave gets the appropriate refund.

The turnstiles will also reopen in the compulsory 20 minutes between meetings and anyone just wanting to watch the Glasgow meeting can for £17/£13 concessions.

Sorry this is long-winded but there isn't a simple answer because of the many differing forms of potential entry on the night.

Oh ... and children accompanied by a paying adult will be admitted free.

And breathe.........

Kevin Doolan I would expect if NBJ isn't fit.

Except -- Kevin admitted last night (despite a heroic performance) that he was 'pretty bashed up' after the crash on Wednesday...........

At Sheffield, Berwick's best hope (by far) would lie with Dany Gapp.

We're quite happy to cheer on the Bandits first . Be a nice warm up act before the serious stuff starts

Edinburgh were already due on the 7th, Glasgow is the additional fixture

With Glasgow’s league position I should think their fans will be flocking down, especially with a chance of seeing their local rivals beaten.

Could even be that Tigers will feel they need points from Berwick to top the table (and get first pick in play-offs).

Which should make them even more-interested in being at Shielfield.

THJ to replace NBJ, very interesting signing! I’m intrigued to see how he does, well done promotion, never know we could have a rider for next year.

Cracking rider back in the day for us, nice low average for next year would be lovely to come home to us on.
