Bastian Borke and Max Perry but might be slightly too high

Was there not some kind of fall out between Drew and Stewart Dickson in the premiership play off final last year when the manager said the rider stopped trying and just packed in when he was fourth or am I just imagining that. Think some things were said at the time and that might have affected any chance of him riding for Stewart again. If he did sign, Simon Lambert, Max Perry and Dale Wood could fill other 3 places - or Gusts, Max Perry and a 2 pointer like Cooper Rushen (maybe)

Too busy announcing riders for their B team at Workington

If it is one league only how will that affect contracts already signed by some championship teams and riders if league makeup and points limit are different to what was initially agreed?

Maybe with all the problems with premier league running or not and maybe one league only there will be a problem with Stewart Dickson at both Leicester and Berwick. Even in speedway you couldn't have one team manager in charge of 2 teams in same league - or could you. Also if rumours were that Nick Morris might have been doubling up with Leicester and Berwick what happens there now. Add in Drew Kemp riding in Poland, rumours of financial issues from last season running 3 teams at Oxford if that affected Jamie Courtney as promoter and things could be iffy with Berwick team building. On the other hand everything could be fine but it is very unusual for there to be nothing on website for 6 weeks. Is it possible George Dodds has been ill? Sometimes silence is golden, sometimes silence is worrying

Too busy counting all the money they made last season from the free car park

Maybe we've signed Luke Harrison too and it's like a deal, buy one, get one free

By the time they get round to organising it they'll be calling it a pre season event

Applying to join Polish league seeing as we're a Saturday night track

If they are changing from speedway to road racing at least they won't have to bother with a planning application for change of use.

Great to see Sam riding so well in his last two races - after he'd spotted Cammi Brown sitting in the stand with a contract for next year.

Need to move back to Berrington. Higher up the league table there.

No bumps last night. Track was prepared smooth as it's been all season just to suit Mr. Courtney's Oxford team

Post of the year so far

Does really well at Berwick. Must be the quality of the track!!

All the best to Craig on his return to action tomorrow night OR All the best to the 2 point rider who has to replace him when the long covid gets a wee bit longer

Take it the BSPA will financially compensate the Berwick promotion and any Berwick or Workington fans who lost money as a result of the very short notice cancellation of the fixture. Thought not.

Not sure how the system works but would he not need a medical certificate to be able to call off sick. How the hell he would find a doctor to sign one on a Saturday is a different story altogether mind

All the 5 in the back row look pretty miserable but the 3 in front look fairly happy. Maybe the back row had to stand too long for the photo.

Oops. Messed up that last post. All the excitement must have caused brain scramble

It's all just a cunning plan by the promotion to get thousands of people to turn up at the press and practice to see which, if any, riders turn up on the night Although it seems extremely unlikely, maybe Cook is unavailable for pairs but will be ready for start of season!!!!. It seems very unfair to fans who booked a bus to the pairs expecting to see Kildemand (can't predict injuries) and Cook (whose participation has apparently been iffy for weeks or maybe months) riding. Without knowing all the facts, for the club to issue a statement regarding rider participation and without much clarity only 2 days before the event seems pretty pathetic and disrespectful to the fans. Maybe it's to do with legal reasons or maybe they genuinely haven't a clue what's happening. Either way it just looks bad. Anybody put their season ticket up for sale on ebay yet?

Looks like it's now Berwick 'buy a camper van then change the tyres' Bandits 2025. Wonder if Jewson ran out of building materials after giving it all to the Bandits to prop up the league.

It's been a long, complicated and difficult process fitting lots of blank dates into a blank calendar

Would be no surprise at all if they suddenly announced that a National Development League team had been invited to take part in the Championship KO cup to make an even number of teams but were allowed a few premiership guests to even the teams up.
