Connor King’s new average was effective from 1st June according to the GSAs

Issue 6 had Kent's averages changing 21st May.

Issue 7 had Kent's averages changing 1st Jun.

Presumably who posted issue 7 didn't check issue 6 first? What I don't understand is despite issue 7 CLEARLY having a mistake the referee or BSPL chose to IGNORE it because it was "official"?

Anyway the point I was making, is if they don't re-run a match because of an error which affected 7 or 8 heats, they're not going to re-run a match based on a mistake in 1 or 2 heats.

So Rathbone gets dumped ? Thought he was doing ok considering his lack of track activity and in the difficult no.2 position.

Not dumped.  He was helping out on a 28-day contract, which has ended. 

In this week's Speedway Star he explains, while getting on really well with Berwick staff, after two years with the Bullets he wanted a change -- and had a deal pre-season with another club, which sadly colllapsed. He confirmed he is looking to join another team.

Ben's a nice guy, wish him well.

Just in case anyone was interested, the Bullets match against their Armadale counter parts scheduled for tonight has been called off.

Pretty sensible call, weather's pretty iffy today up here in God's country....

Looking good for tomorrow night, tho!

Like Bandits at home Bullets beaten badly. 

Just a bit of bad luck tonight to be honest, can’t fault any of the lads efforts to be honest. Really enjoyed the meeting after as-well, surely Owen Booth is knocking on the door of the bullets? He seems a great young rider!

It's always bad luck for the Bullets and Bandits actually thought the meeting was very boring.

As Berwick are 4.7 below the points limit it's not really a new reserve they need to find to be competitive (maybe next year's team?). But as they're probably destined for the wooden spoon already, may just stick with what they have.

It's always bad luck though to be honest, maybe the team just isn't very good to be honest.

Looking back over the predictions thread and the vast majority had Berwick in the bottom two. Have to admit that i didn't see as many poor home defeats coming but it was an uninspiring team when built and not sure if the changes have added any strength at all.

Any thoughts on Berwick kicking out a youngster to sign a 36-year-old ex-Elite League rider who was banned for 2 years for failing to take a drugs test?

Waste of time considering their season if “up the Swanee “ anyway.

ps. 
Do Berwick have any youngsters.?
