Roynon will always go to the "highest payer" IMO

A few question marks in that line up IMO

Nikki was certainly impressive at Ashfield and well worth signing if he does not return to Berwick.

Sounds good ,I like that idea be interesting to find out what kind of response it creates.Not everyboby can afford a season ticket and if you think you are going to miss a couple of fixtures you wouldn't bother ,but this idea and a savings at the same time might work.

He has recovered from injury and is back riding in Australia .

Dont think will ever know what the mix up with Bellego was unless the Promotions explain it. It's history now though,.Maybe they should put a list of Berwick assets on the Website and let the fans know the position , Would dispute that he looks a better prospect than Bellego.!!

Sounds like a good deal well done to the Promotion .I assume its any 10 meetings throughout the season.

He rode 8 matches and doesn't have an assessed av. So he may be our asset. If he wants to ride for Berwick we should sign him though as he has a decent low average I would like to see Dyer on his average but who knows.

I think he rode 8 in the league 5 home 3 away so he still had an assessed average of 5 when he came to Berwick but he also rode in KO Cup fixtures for Glasgow so who knows

Seen quite a few races where a specific heat result was what was required to prevent other Team using the tactical ride ,like I say not as blatant.But like I said thats the rule so good team managing in my view although I dont like the rule.

Your point regarding is Wtc is valid but lets face it it has been done a numerous times in league matches just not as blatent and does bring tactics into other races regarding the match score at the time IMO .Still thats the rules as they stand.

Not so sure you are in the minority regarding Tactical rides .PS can anyone tell me why the Post I am Quoting always appears twice in the heading

Subject to finding a major sponser is what I read.We will need to wait for a club statement regarding that matter.

IMO double down riders should have a cap on their points money (say£50)as its just easy pocket money for most of them.They are the riders taking the money out of the sport thats not there, just like the PL boys riding in NL.

Thats what happened in the mid 80's in NL but like you say "sponser money" makes up the shortfall on points money .

The trouble is not many riders can come from 15mtrs nowadays due to technology and slick tracks.I am not in favour of the double points either but we only pay to watch the sport not run it why should our opinions matter.

It will be interesting to hear the Berwick Promotion views on the outcome of the meeting, positive or negative.

I agree that a lot of issues are club by club related ,but IMO there are quite a lot of clubs with issues which is a major problem.I highlighted PL league Champions in the last few seasons suffering huge losses which says it all.

Looks like the Long HOT Summer theory was the path they have decided on

Can the the sport afford to lose many more die-hard fans ,it seems to be struggling to attract new fans and keep them IMO

Happiness is 46-44 and a Pie.

That was only my observation and it might well be wrong,but given the fact that at most clubs the "behind the scenes" work if most done by volunteers I would think that most expense is down to Stadium Rental and Rider costs( wages and travel) ,but there again I might be wrong on that account too.Like I say it is only my opinion.

Whatever way you want to look at it It has been stated that the club is not sustainable on present crowd levels .Only the Promotion knows where the money is being lost.The crowds had dwindle by the time Peter finished ,they were up again when the present promotion took charge but seem to be dropping off again.

I think Berwick are suffering from the same problem as Edinburgh (bearing in mind that Armadale is 20miles from Edinburgh)in that alot of the support is not local but in the Borders and surrounding area and with the recession and high fuel prices might be having a knock on effect regarding the lower attendances in recent years.It would be an interesting survey to find out where the support is based IMO

As a long term fan what I can't understand is when certain successful Teams in PL in recent seasons report huge losses in last few seasons there seems to be no structure change or long term plan to make any radical changes to help the sport from one season to another and in Edinburghs case have had to come back from the brink mainly due to fan generosity please tell me what will be done to prevent them making a huge loss next season, according to my reading in SS a hot summer is what they are hoping for to revive the sport !!! Sorry if slightiy off topic but Berwick could still be in the same boat next year (if we run)
