Spot on , I said much the same to a friend at the Poole meeting, there's no way Peter would have produced a track like that against a team who are used to ridding on tracks with very little dirt on them

I thought Tweedmouth Rangers played on Old Shielfield

With the changes made to the Bandits septet this should be a decent meeting, hopefully the weather will play ball and there'll be a decent turn out and obviously a home win , 51-39 Berwick

Hans has always been a favourite of mine , looking forward to seeing him in Black and Gold

Hopefully he can , but it's changed days from when a British final has the likes of Havelock, Loram , Screen , Dugard & Louis or going back further Collins , Lee & Simmonds . Used to be a great event and a fantastic day out its a very poor shadow of itself nowadays, but it is what it's and we just have to make the best of it things aren't going to change any time soon

The line up is just another example of how far the general standard of speedway in the UK had fallen , the days of star studded British finals are long gone unfortunately,. Back in the day this was a rung on the ladder towards qualification for the World Final , I can’t see anyone in the lineup who would challenge for a world title

Rory withdrew from tonights meeting after two of his programmed heats

Despite taking the lead, I never really believed we could win this one. We don't have the necessary firepower to win the big heats , too many points thrown away tonight

I can't say I'm ver optimistic about seeing any speedway at Berwick on Saturday night, all the forecasts I have looked at look pretty awful

If they can scan e- ticket QR codes at the gate , why can't they have card readers at the turnstiles ?

Berwick's very own Chuckle Brothers

Close but no cigar again for The Bandits I fear, 51-39

Doyle moving at the start .... wow that's a shock

It will probably be tight up until about ht 10 , then I'd expect the Cheetahs to pull away in the second half of the meeting

Doyle takes a dive again

Doesn't seem to make him any quicker

Why was he allowed to leave the pits without one ? Surely that's something that the machine examiner should be looking for

What about his other heats , were he looked about as slow as the wee red tractor?

Final heat 5-1 slightly distorts the score line IMHO . Berwick looked second best most of the night , another long break until the next Bandits home meeting , it's hard to build up any kind of momentum for the riders and the fans with do many gaps in the season

Every team should be allowed one senior rider such as Lee to help pass on advice to the younger riders , but the league should be about development

I hope that people aren't having FA Cup Final or SGP parties , wouldn't want them to impact on tonight's attendance

This meeting won't make any highlights reel

I think he definitely writes columns to attract bites and always has done

Over the years in his many , programme columns, magazine columns and now blogs Dick has written a fair amount of drivell under his various guises, but this one must be close to the top of the list for absolute balderdash

Some fantastic action at this years North West 200 . All available on BBCiPlayer
