The rearranged Berwick visit will start at 3pm that Monday, by the way.

That would be good, indeed. But at no time has Berwick's e-Newsletter or website suggested this is to be a double-header. If it is, great. If not, don't blame it on the Bandits!

Plenty of guests, but still an interesting -- and vital, in terms of KO Cup hopes -- match-up. What kind of lead will be required for Foxhall in second leg?

Berwick are announcing Monday, May 25th as date for restaging. No suggestion it'll be a double-header. Maybe the powers-that-be are insisting on League Cup sections being completed -- Glasgow gor a heavy fine last season for failing to hold a home LC meeting.

Nope, no extra funding from promotion. Can't answer for the Supporters Club, of course.......

This morning's e-Newsletter confirms the line-up change, and the good news about Alex Edberg......

Both ambulances were there tonight, fully-equipped as always. Unfortunately, and unusually, the track doctor wasn't present, leaving only one paramedic. Sod's law!

For those who do get Berwick's e-Newsletter, you'll see a preview in tonight's just-received edition. For those who don't - what's stopping you? But seriously, Berwick have full 1-7 and Workington will use r/r for Rusty and Stevie Worrall as guest for Ricky Wells (off to Italy). Parade at 6.50, tapes up at seven.

Well said.

Facundo will be at the match to support his Sheffield buddies, he's their rider.

Sigh. OK, "The newsletter I received last night......" Pedant.

The newsletter I received last night also said Doolan at Plymouth and Crang at Glasgow -- don't they count?

Bandits' latest e-Newsletter carries a preview, plus a whole lot more. Sheffield sitting pretty on top of table, Grajczonek & Garrity coming in won't weaken them much. Bandits: 1. Ben Barker, 2. Hynek Stichaeur, 3. Kevin Doolan (captain), 4. Thomas Jorgensen, 5. Claus Vissing, 6. Alex Edberg, 7. Luke Crang. Tigers: 1. Josh Grajczonek (guest), 2. Andre Compton (captain), 3. Ashley Birks, 4. Jason Garrity, 5. Ty Proctor, 6. Josh Bates, 7. Arthur Sissis. Any thoughts?

I'd venture there will be some deep thinking going on in Melbourne already, to ensure the Aussies get it right in October. Quite similar circumstances?

Since you ask, and only since you ask, last week's referee (Mick Bates) yet again marked track preparation as "excellent" Three meetings out of three, no need for further reports on reports. End of.

Aw c'mon, Tourettes -- you must be happy the club has a Czech in the line-up again!

Rest easy folks, no Bunyan! e-Newsletter this morning confirms new signing........

Au contraire, my tumescent troll..... The match must be eagerly awaited and, who knows, by 8.30 the Bandits could be top of the Premier League? Full preview was in e-Newsletter on Monday afternoon, on website Tuesday morning and with all media yesterday. The opening of the thread was only for people who claim not to read anything but this forum, and to invite discussion.

Robin, the Trawling Troll!

First PL meeting of the year, with all the hopes and dreams of both clubs fresh and bright! Bandits, although hinting at picking up a seventh rider in the near future, remain with r/r for the sadly-injured Matic Voldrih. Scunny at full strength. Bandits: 1. Ben Barker, 2. Matic Voldrih (r/r), 3. Kevin Doolan (captain), 4. Thomas Jorgensen, 5. Claus Vissing, 6. Alex Edberg, 7. Luke Crang, 8. Stefan Farnaby. Scorpions: 1. David Howe (captain), 2. Theo Pijper, 3. Alex Davies, 4. Carl Wilkinson, 5. Josh Auty, 6. Ellis Perks, 7. Nike Lunna. Comments?

Polish. Wouldn't get start permission. Plus, an average of 7.00. Otherwise -- in a heartbeat.

BERWICK have confirmed Slovenian rider Matic Voldrih will be ruled out for the rest of the season. Voldrih suffered compound fractures to tibia and fibula after a crash in his national championship, and he has been told he must not resume sporting activities for six months. The Bandits are closing in on a replacement, although they do not expect completion this week. Co-promoter Dennis McCleary said: “To be fair to fans, ourselves and the rest of the team it is important we get back to a seven-man line-up as quickly as possible. But with the season a month old already it is not easy. “We had considered the option of waiting until the cut-off date for new averages, which is April 20, but on scrutinising the figures we discovered we’d have less points to play with, so that isn’t too good an option. We are talking to available riders, and are close to making one deal happen.”

Club announcement to media: VISSING MISSING: Danish Bandit Claus Vissing will miss the club’s League Cup match at Armadale on Friday evening, having been allocated a place in the Danish SGP Qualifier the same night. He will however fly back into Edinburgh on Saturday morning, ready to race for the club against Scunthorpe. With two riders missing on Friday, Berwick will be allowed a guest rider for one, and use the sport’s rider-replacement regulation for the other. Following consideration of the circumstances, Dennis McCleary and his fellow-promoters have called upon Peterborough’s in-form Michael Palm Toft, who raced at Elite League level for Belle Vue last season as a guest for Matic Voldrih. Vissing’s races will be covered by his team-mates, with the remaining Berwick riders all available to take a heat.

Whatever, they still defaulted big time. Certainly agree about last three paragraphs.

Claus Vissing and Alex Edberg getting extra track time at Somerset tomorrow for Rye House.
