Was it as late as that cos I remember Claus being around for that?! definitely wouldn’t have been 2007... we only won 3 meetings all year that year I think it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I think I said originally, Leon stays at reserve throughout July. The 4 x 4 thing is irrelevant, he's on a full rolling average, although this has risen impressively from (the minimum) 3.00 to 4.83 since the start of the season. However, as this is still below Coty (4.95) or Kasper (4.86) he remains as a reserve (Rising Star status won't protect him if he improves above a member of the 1-5) until at least July 31st. As both James and Sarah have mentioned in their Dirt Xtra blogs this week, Kasper has to fulfil a strangely-timed lunchtime match in Denmark on Saturday, and because he hasn't yet raced for Berwick we cannot claim his services yet. So back to r/r this weekend, I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, one of the advantages of being all e-ticket -- this isn't specific to Berwick -- I see is that in the case of a rain-off, a promotion really only needs to (a) immediately halt ticket sales and (b) notify ticket-holders while immediately refunding their money. Anyone intending to travel, or pick up a late ticket would learn that the meeting was cancelled when they tried to buy their ticket. Thus, anyone who really needed to know of a cancellation would learn right away. But of course, in such a case the promotion of the track concerned will also notify the BSPL Press Office, who circulate the news, as well as the club presumably placing the information on their own social media.

Does his Rising Star Status 3 mean that he started this season on a 3.00.? Edited June 30, 2021 by Fromafar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't realised he was so high at the beginning of this season. But he's still done well, pushing it up to 4.83 in the few matches this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that Kasper Anderson will miss this meeting due to a clash with a Danish league meeting, he will also miss tomorrows meeting at Scunthorpe where Berwick will run R/R for Coty Garcia.

Presumably a Division One meeting (standard closer to NDL than the Championship). All these meetings are at weekends.
