Has a rider ever ridden for all 4 Clubs. Monarchs, Tigers, Comets and Bandits. Only one I can think of is Vissing.

"Big Leggy" Geoff Powell probably rode for Workington, Glasgow & Berwick, but not sure if he rode for Edinburgh?

What Mr Barrie means is Jyes local so no travel expenses and scores less points so is the better option 

Which is what surprises me.

Tries a lot harder when racing for Belle Vue etc than he does for Berwick (seems to race for the four laps when with them but doesn't when with Berwick).

Supposed to be the home track specialist who was 6th in the Berwick home averages this season.

Reference Jye's statistics pre joining Berwick!

2016..Redcar..8..34..26..7..3.88

2016..Edinburgh..11..40..9..3..1.20

What are some fans genuinely expecting? Granted I get the point -  it maybe time for both parties to move on. He was hardly a world beater before joining the club.

Geoff Powell was  never a Bandit

Bastian Borke returns next season.

Good signing, if Borke can pick up where his scoring was pre-injury, Berwick should always have a strong reserve.

Just 1 to go😂👍

7.33 left for remaing 2 riders

[PTW]

Cook 8.42

Schlein 8.08

Kemp 6.46

Hume 4.87

Borke 4.84

32.67

7.33 left 

Etheridge 4.98 slots in nicely to leave 2.35 left so I’d assume a 2.00 rider.

imo I’d say a better team than last year with decent balance to it,wether it’s a play off team is in the balance I’d say.

Delighted with the Borke signing.

IMO Berwick needs to move on and away from Jye Etheridge and Etheridge from Berwick for the good of club and rider.

I’d agree with that the easy option for club is to resign him but a new foreign rider on a 5.00 surely would be the way to go would give the club some fresh impetus and if the signing hits it off then that’s not a bad team at all.

Maybe Bowes if the rumours are true that Boughen is Glasgow bound

Having already signed for Oxford I`m guessing Glasgow might find a hurdle or two to jump if they want him.

With Bowes riding in the Polish leagues, I think a Saturday track is out of the question. Can't see it being anything other than Jye and a 2 pointer to finish the side.
