Nothing new really, I remember a few seasons ago Berwick turned up at Armadale and did the same with a certain Austrian rider who turned up at the track around lunchtime with two bikes both of which were useless and a shoulder injury that saw him last to the first corner in his first race, pull over and that was that.

Manuel Hauzinger , one Peter's signings. Came into the season with a shoulder injury. I seem to remember he  hurt the shoulder again during a earlier visit to Armadale on the both occasion he only made it as far as the first bend

He also had a spell at Newcastle, and was more than slightly miffed when he realised racing for a sunday club would impact heavily on his Sunday continental bookings!!!!!!

Didn’t he do the same when Berwick were at Newcastle?

That was the plan and he was paid to come over and just do a start to suit Peter's plan for his replacement/ team shuffle. he could not have ridden due to his injury. Manu lived with us and I was his driver and mechanic along with another guy. He thought he could still ride abroad and not be found out, whilst still saying he was injured to Newcastle. We got a report he had ridden in a Saturday morning Danish meeting, but he wouldn't tell us what engine to put in the bike for our Sunday meeting. We new something was fishy then and when he didn't turn up he was reported and banned from riding and fined. A scribbled A4 piece of paper turned up allegedly from a proper Doctor, which obviously it wasn't. Later turned up riding for Birmingham in one of their early seasons, but was not a hit and faded  away and retired.

Eastbourne are better than they are showing, the averages are going to drop like s stone prior to the big sept matches 

I wonder if theyve got a signing sorted but need some av reduction, lawson and kerr cannot be this bad

Too late. New averages won't come into effect until 01 Sep. Last date for team changes is 28 August to take effect on or before 31 August.

Eastie away from home really are that bad. However, they are a dangerous team over a two legged tie.

Another thumping for Easty tonight and Morris probably did better than Kennet would.have..They are becoming worse away from home than they were early season..Newcastle tomorrow expect more of the same...

Cracking win for the tinpot club tonight, I never expected 58, but there was some consistency all the way through Berwick's scoring (everybody getting between 7 and 10). The meeting certainly livened up in the second half, started by excellent cutbacks by Dany Gapp and Spud off the second bend and up the back straight (do these count as passes?), then passing and re-passing between Leon and Kyle Newman in heat 12. Heat 15 was a bit scary, good to see Nick Morris and Jye up and walking about afterwards and hope it's not too serious for NBJ. And as usual excellent PR afterwards with the riders spending an age getting photos taken with kids.
