Both the mentioned riders have patriality

Think you need to look a bit further up the order. Danny is learning, and will match his average.

Also at Sheffield and Eastbourne, if surgery takes a wee while to knit the bone......

Jye's May rolling average will be 6.49. If Bandits opt for r/r, it will still be everyone but Spud who can ride. If they choose to go down the 28-day route (which need not start until May 3) there would be a few options, of which the favourite might be a fit Theo Pijper, if available on the May Saturdays. Or a bolt from the blue. But there would be no way they'd permanently redeclare the 1-7 without Jye, l'd say.

We like Tero, but we'd take Theo every time!

A solid Bandits win, with the Heat 8 disposal of the ever-sporting Cookie Monster a highlight. For those who stayed on, the second half saw local boy Mason Watson (#8) who is the first to make the colours straight from the Duns track looking very good for such limited experience, plus a really assured showing by Jedd List, who was so badly treated at Scunthorpe. All in all, a good night at the skids.

Mr Dishington was in charge at the Bordernapolis. Prior to the meeting he called a Riders Briefing on the infield and explained the new procedure to all. The meeting went off well, with no starting gate problems.

Vic Duggan and Jack Parker, who won the non-World Finals of 1947/48 Graham Warren who was seriously injured before reaching a peak Igor Plechanov who ran up twice Phil Crump was the best Australian for a decade Dave Jessup Shawn Moran (imagine the fuss if he'd won the Bradford run-off and THEN got disqualisied!) In the GP years, Jimmy Nilsen, Leigh Adams and Jaroslav Hampel. IMO

Ipswich dropping down again already?

Polish riders not welcome at Championship tracks, remember.

New sponsors announced (and new 'powered by' backers, too) plus a new promoter on the block! Getting interesting now, folks!

Stevie W withdrawn from BenFund?

On loan

Yes, but...... Two top scorers have an extra race. Each, if they are No 1 in their team, earns about £100 per point. The riders would expect to be paid for racing for the Helmet. That's an extra £500 to be paid out -- and I can't imagine the prospect of watching that race would bring in the extra thirty adults -- who wouldn't be coming otherwise -- to balance the books. So, although I'd love to see the Silver Helmet coming back, I can't see it as a feasible prospect.

There's a thread in the "Individuals & Shared Events" section for the Bordernapolis. Although at present, only the expected first seven contestants are known.

I'm sure a quick e-mail to club@berwickbandits.co will sort you out, let you know where to collect. A sign of the season fast approaching is that this SUNDAY (10th) there will be the Staff Meeting, open to any potential new crew members who fancy joining the stalwart volunteers who help put on the Saturday show. As well as current staffers, of course. At the Black & Gold, 5pm.

There might now be a case that, in future, the 1-7 nominated and (presumably) contracted and registered pre-season is required to actually start the season -- with an obvious caveat of MC permission to make a change in the case of an off-season injury, or other unavailability.

Don't believe that for one minute. Two customers on the same morning?

Good idea. Hopefully our Webmeister will see this, and make it so.

If they're good enough, they'll get their chances, yes.....

Well, you can go the new Official Supporters Club's Facebook page and like and share - they're giving away a Season Ticket!

Saturday date now confirmed by BSPA - bring it on!

A fair question. As the EU is supposed to be a free market for labour, the UK restrictions brought in six or seven years back by a new-broom Home Secretary (a certain Mrs T May) are clearly different to those for the rest of the EU, and probably illegal in EU law. As for other sports, I question how it is that British ice hockey teams are almost entirely staffed by Canadian players, without any apparent problems.

Club's fixture list shows British U-21 at Berwick again -- well done -- on Saturday, April 27th, which would be huge. BSPA list has nothing on 27th, but shows a 'Berwick reserved' date on Tuesday 30th. Hmmmm. Surely Saturday meeting better for all concerned, bigger crowd, better financial return -- be it to club or BSPA.

Speedway GB are probably going to try to launch the big dates in one announcement. The U-21 Final is at Berwick again this year (in April) but isn't on the list issued on BSPA site this morning.
