So Edinburgh up first? Sounds stupid but I would of faced Glasgow first, more chance of getting more Glasgow fans than Edinburgh ones and its a longer trip home for them? Meaning they could leave after first meeting if they wanted to. Hopefully it doesn’t effect the crowd or any potential buses Glasgow hopefully have organised.

Edinburgh were already due on the 7th, Glasgow is the additional fixture

Berwick have signed Tomas H Jonasson  until the end of the season.

With Glasgow’s league position I should think their fans will be flocking down, especially with a chance of seeing their local rivals beaten.

THJ to replace NBJ, very interesting signing! I’m intrigued to see how he does, well done promotion, never know we could have a rider for next year.

Could even be that Tigers will feel they need points from Berwick to top the table (and get first pick in play-offs).

Which should make them even more-interested in being at Shielfield.

Cracking rider back in the day for us, nice low average for next year would be lovely to come home to us on.

Very good signing, certainly at one point was close to the top riders in the world.

Whatever his last Elite league average is times by 1.6, I believe.

The conversion factor is 1.5 this season.

[Skidder1 7,634]

So 6.96 then (ie 4.64 KIngs Lynn 2017 x 1.5)?

Interesting signing. He barely turned up at Armadale back in the day hopefully  Berwick get better service.

Thomas rode 34 matches for Edinburgh, which is a fair record, given two injury periods.  

Bandits need him for five.    We'll be fine.

Could be a very shrewd bit of business by Berwick, giving his experience he should be at least as good as his average and a potent scorer at Championship level.
