BWD is not riding.  Diamonds are using r/r at #1 at Glasgow on Friday, but have Chris Harris on Sunday.

Where does it say on this thread that BWD is riding (seeing as this is the thread for Sunday vs Edinburgh)?  As I've said two post above yours, the line-ups for Sunday include Chris Harris at number one for the Diamonds.

Well, hopefully that might put few more 'bums on seats', as they say?

Harris could jeopardise Berwick chances for play-off places with all his guesting for other Teams over the season.IMO.

But could get a winners medal....

And a runners up one too...:D

Having slated the Diamonds elsewhere I think they'll win this one unless Kye Thomson has improved to heat leader level after a good first season.  The Monarchs look like a developmental team this season.  Even with Harris the Diamonds will probably concede the now traditional 8 points at the back end but Thomson aside the Diamonds top six should have enough to see off the rest of the Monarchs.

Two points, unrelated... first, does anyone know if this is a season ticket match (if not I needd to get to a cashpoint!), and second and more seriously, is it worth considering a minute's applause for Nigel Pearson tomorrow?  I'm not sure if the promotion would consider it but it might be a  nice touch.

I believe so.

Any correspondence you got/had with the season ticket purchase, should enlighten you. Agree it would be nice touch to do a minutes silence for the fella.

Think it shows how daft speedway can be when harria can guest for a guy who was never going to score points, and yes have seen newcastle twice this season "bwd" way off the pace .

It's happened many times over the years to most teams. One year we had Andrew Tully injured at P and P, and we got a guest right through till he was fit. Jirout was another example from the mid 00's. It's not unusual. By getting a guest early in the season gives the unlucky club a fair chance to be at strength in those opinion forming early meetings.

Was it not r/r for Tully?

We used R/R for Mario Jirout twice and then he was replaced by Kristian Lund.

Maybe the answer is that Bomber goes around and rides for every club in the first couple of weeks?

He will probably achieve this feat as the season goes by anyway, so, instead, make it part of the "launch plan" in those important few meetings for each team...;)
