Well he’s riding for Wolves, Edinburgh and in the riders championship…

Website says Rory had a family holiday booked otherwise he would have partnered the skipper.

More and more riders seem to book family holidays during British League season.Wonder how many would do that in Poland and tell their club they are unavailable for a fixture.

He doesn't have to ride in it, if he doesn't want to.  It's not a team meeting, as such, so can't be "done" for withholding his services.  Might be a pain in the rectum area for the fans, but it's not the first time and certainly won't be the last time it's happened at these types of meetings.  We are kind of getting used to it now (doesn't make it right though).

Isn't the criteria that each club is supposed to nominate two out of the top three qualified riders, per average?

Berwick's top three are Rory, Leon and Jye (Hans A hasn't had enough meetings for the club).

They have nominated Jye and Leon.

 

Jye Etheridge shouldn’t even be in the same sentence as Rory Schlein.

He might have told Berwick "count me out of the Pairs".

As Berwick were the Championship club who gave Rory a way back into speedway you would think he would make himself available for as many meetings as possible to represent Berwick, anyway thanks Rory, at least you can be bothered with the CLRC, or you can at the minute.

Maybe his holiday has something to do with his big crash there a few weeks ago.

A message from Jamie & Scott Courtney.
There can be no hiding from the fact that 2023 has been our toughest season on track in recent memory. An almost constant flow of injuries throughout both the Bullets and Bandits sides have contributed to a lack of consistency on track and whenever there has been a glimmer of hope it has been swiftly followed by another heavy blow.
As a club, the wellbeing of our community and riders is top priority and to see so many lads from both of our sides get severely banged up really does have an effect on the morale of everyone involved with Berwick Speedway.
A sporadic fixture list, inconsistent weather, lack of rider availability and probably the toughest economic climate to run a Speedway club ever, has led us to ask ourselves all of the big questions……
The reality is that Berwick Speedway has always been more than just a team that enters a league year in year out. Berwick Speedway is bigger and more valuable to the sport than we are all probably feeling right now.
The club has always shown great resilience through the toughest of times since the Taylor family founded Berwick Speedway back in 1968 and it’s time to dig deep once again!
Moving forward we are delighted to announce that we will be leaning on our strength and resilience to bounce back from adversity and we will walk into 2024 with our heads held high.
As per every year, plans for the following season both within the club and at BSP level begin around July/August time and 2023 has provided us with our most challenging season on track but we are ready to regroup, rebuild, recharge and go again.
Bringing the fans, sponsors and supporters of Berwick Speedway the best possible version of the club in 2024 is our top priority and we are well underway with plans to improve in all areas we can.
On Saturday September the 16th we will mark the end of a short but explosive era for the Berwick Bullets.
After 3 seasons of competing in the National League, the club will be taking a break from that level of competition.
The Bullets have been almost entirely self funded by the club owners and after an incredibly demanding season on and off the track, your promotion have made the decision to channel their attention towards the Bandits and a revamped youth system.
The Bullets brand will continue at youth level and will be associated with the purpose built Grant Henderson Tankers training academy at Duns.
We look forward to our remaining fixtures and will continue to do our very best for the club in 2023 and beyond!

I know people often like to discuss which track has the best racing in the country, and we all know that Shielfield isn't a contender. But how about the best chasing track in the country? I have seen some of the best chasing of my life at Berwick. I once saw the guy in 3rd place get within 5m of the guy ahead of him and I got goosebumps
