    Think this is one of the best Berwick teams in years and should, if all goes well, be nearer to the top of the league... However I just can't see anyone getting near Poole (Possibly Redcar but they look weaker with Knudsen instead of Jorgensen?). Poole's top 4 just look ridiculous and I think Hagon will do well at reserve. Don't think Tobias will be as bad as some think, but I don't think he will be spectacular either. Poole and Berwick top 2? Possibility.

    Nobody is expecting 'spectacular things' from Tobias!  Scoring to his average is all thats being looked at.

    Jewsons make Berwick a very solid-looking septet!;)

    According to the folks on BSN, Eurosport are showing 18 fixtures over the season

    Its always been 18-19 fixtures whether its Eurosport, BT Sports or Sky!!

    The difference this season is the slightly earlier start (April rather than May), possibly because this summer there are the Euros and the Olympics!

    Are Thursday's Britain's to "give up"? I thought it was Monday and Wednesdays that were protected but we just elected to go for Thursday's instead, don't know how Denmark fits into that scenario? I thought it was all agreed at FIM level, could be wrong of course

    If it was Mons/Weds there would be every chance of Poole running at Prem level again!!

    However, the likes of Ipswich and Sheffield could be an issue.

    I agree, the response from fans, media and speedway management has been very muted! In fact, we've rolled over and had our bellies tickled!

    Russell has tied the other managers down with NDA's and the local media are only now starting to delve under the covers. Five years on, most fans have drifted off to other things.

    The BSPL and Phil Morris have both been made aware of what the situation is and have done diddly squat about it.

    See the Swindon Stadium thread for the latest!  BSPL have taken back the Promotional licence from Terry Russell.

    If true can't see the logic in that. Now that clubs have far fewer fixtures should be easier to find dates, unless you're at Poole who make all the finals. If Newman held his testimonial at Plymouth no such worries about spare dates there.

    Also what if clubs don't have planning permission to race on Sundays?

    I agree about the logic - but which clubs have planning permission issues?
