Absolutely correct!  A great wee mini-match, and well worth staying back for on a chilly night.    Berwick Academy won in the end, but it was nip and tuck all the way.  Great stuff! 

Pleased you enjoyed it as the dad of one of the Berwick lads can’t tell you how much he enjoys being part of the club and the support he’s given by those who stay behind.

Lawson is listed as riding for Somerset tonight?

So?   It was never suggested he was ill on Saturday.    It was a family member.

I don't have any idea of rules etc., but if this was the case, how were they given a facility for him??

Because people was saying he will be banned for 7 days and where does it say he was missing due to a family member? The Lakeside website just says illness.

Seems to be that facilities are granted for just about anything nowadays . Workington got one for Proctor when his paperwork wasn't in order yet , Edinburgh got one for Andersson when he was riding in Poland instead of at Glasgow , so no surprise at this one .

I don't think you get a facility for a family member being ill.   But this is speedway, so any rule can be bent or broken at any time.

Is there not a rule now where you can bring in a guest for any of your top three, though the reasons for Lakeside being granted a guest facility on Saturday do seem ever so slightly spurious.

Those that do will most likely become those that used to soon - used to go that is.....

No regulation in the book to alliw a facility for that

Either Saturdays facility was against the regs or him returning within 7 days is

This reg is actually one that has been amended this year exactly to avoid this type of situation yet has been ignored...

Compassion may have come into it somewhere. As with most things speedway, I doubt an official explanation will be forthcoming.
