If Workington and Newcastle run that is. 8 home plus 2 league cup if not (plus the usual 1 only cup match)

Would Bellego be a possible heatleader signing or is he now more committed to Poland

Now that the season starts with league cup section is it still 2 home and 2 away league matches against the others in the league or is it back to 1 home and 1 away.Could make for a short season or lots of blank Saturdays if only 13 matches (or 11 if no Workington)With the new starting rules and no penalties unless tapes broken does it mean best to go with team of gaters rather than racers (?TJ and dare I say it-Claus)

Would at least lead to consistency in league position

Guaranteed season long place for Lee Payne (injured-guest) Only 6 more signings needed

If anybody finds a headless horse running around in Glasgow the missing bit could well be in Stuart Dickson's bed tomorrow morning

I often try to picture Kylie dressing in the morning too.Great minds think alike

Wonder if this might come under EU employment law regarding restricting a person's right to work if a job has been offered.Whichever rider was offered the team place could maybe contact citizen's advice.Mind as the BSPA are totally ignorant of the laws of common sense they probably are above all other laws too.

Would the promoters vote for this rule at the conference last year.If so,they only have themselves to blame.However it's a different story if the rule was brought in just by the usual mismanagement board.

I am fully aware a lot of people think you are an arse, crescent gir,l but you don't need to put your name at the end of a post.It's really not like signing at the end of a letter.

Was told a few weeks ago that Lee Payne and Havelock were big mates so he would be unlikely to be dropped.No idea if it's true but it would tie in with most things our part-time manager does.Signing Bowtell would have been a positive move for possible team building for next year-IF there is a next year but heh ho, Havelock maybe has a masterplan version 300.God knows what in mind.Wonder what Denis McLeary thinks privately about how things are going.I've been a supporter for best part of 45 years through thick and very thin but I can't ever remember such an apparent directionless mess as things are in at the moment.There have been good points like the covers,presentation,track which are big positives but they don't draw in the fans who want to see mostly a winning team at home.I realise injuries have been a big part of the problem but by no means all.Havelock said the club would have been in a financial quagmire if not for the covers.The way crowd numbers have fallen off recently I don't think they will be clear of that quagmire.That's probably enough of a moan for now-oh no I also meant to say that in terms of keeping the long suffering fans up to date, the website is dire.Sorry for being so negative but for the first time in 45 years I don't know if I'll bother seeing out the season and before anybody says support the club or lose it,to be honest I don't know if I'm too bothered the way it is just now

Hope they got our team manager as well as part of the deal

Is this meeting cancelled due to complete apathy and lack of interest (or is that the same thing)? Nothing on Berwick website or this forum about teams for tomorrow night. Oh well.Who gives a sh*t anyway

Jacobs for Bridger's average really,not for the rider himself.R/r for a rider with as low an average as Bridger is no good.Would be different if Bridger had ridden to his original average but that wasn't to be.Having been very critical of Havvy all season I think this is a pretty good decision (must have been a Courtney decision) and all the best of luck to Jacobs.

That's a terrible thing to say.It keeps mentioning we have covers and bad luck

Fairest solution to this is to deduct Glasgow 50 league points for being a bunch of moaning wealthy prats and deduct Redcar 50 league points for trying to fiddle the curfew/end of meeting.That way we at Berwick might have just a slim chance of not finishing bottom of the league

Need all the covers and more to do that

He maybe did but he speaks pretty good English so Havvy wouldn't understand him.It's a shame more riders weren't like David Howe and put their comments on the forum to let fans know what was happening

This might be the most relevant post so far

I was waiting to see if anybody else thought the same as me in the way I read it.Hellish management again by Havelock to say stuff like that in public and wouldn't blame Dany for telling him to stuff his team place.If he keeps on falling out with riders soon nobody will want to be at Berwick.He's going to end up losing a great deal of goodwill that the Courtneys have built up.

Looks like reserves are biggest problem now in the team.Not sure if I'm right but if 42 is the average for team rebuilding to, then going by averages up to and including last night on the speedwaygb page(not the current official greensheet) then I think we have 7.96 to work with.Liam Carr back on 3 (if allowed) plus Adam Roynon or Joe Jacobs if he gets the reduction would be a hell of a lot stronger than the current pairing.Other option would be new 2 point rider but none around or would be elsewhere.If Coty is released by Redcar when Busch comes back that would be another option plus Liam at 3 point.Maybe not building for future but might make a happier end to this year.

Did there not used to be a rule that if you dropped a rider you couldn't sign him again in the same season.Suppose it might be different as a guest though

Sick of riding for a losing team

Apart from all the experts on here,has there been any official word on whether this change has been ratified or not.Either from club or BSPA..Presumably if Workington not happy withe change they could object and that would force a decision before the meeting on Saturday night.In the meantime the silence from club and authorities presumably means everything is fine.

Could be a bit of an embarrassment if they don't get this new team ratified after they have announced it.Still,we're getting used to embarrassments this year anyway I suppose.No meeting till Saturday so would it not make sense to check all allowed by BSPA then announce it and, if not, then still time to sort something officially,announce it and nobody any the wiser.Onwards and downwards.
