Craig moved in at least 4 of his races. Why Jason wasn't excluded in heat 12 is baffling as that would be the 3rd or 4th time he was moving. Good enjoyable meeting made better with the banter between the fans.

Not what the Berwick website said yesterday (Scott tried to get a guest and was unsuccessful). Team would have been declared before Rory was injured.

Could be things outside of speedway affecting him? His dad did step back from managing the Bullets then the Bandits for personal reasons. Hopefully he kicks on in the second half of the season.

As much as Emil is possibly the best rider in the league, I would keep Doyle first. Having a number one who you know will probably stay with the team for years and race in this country (unless Swindon get going again) cannot be understated.

Silly rules cost promoters money. How did Edinburgh drop Micky Simpson on a 4.46 average (to get Max Clegg in for Kyle) and were then able to reintroduce him into the team on a 3 a couple of weeks later (this was mentioned at a Bullets match). Therefore Berwick lost 3 admissions last weekend as we weren't working and did other things.

Riss had gated and was leading heat 13 when it was pulled back for masters jumping the start. Nicholas with a flyer in the re run and got away with it. Oxford riders both moved in heat 14 and got away with it (got my program wrong as had hook in 3rd place also). Scott said he was disappointed along with Sam about missing a maximum as you like to get maximums especially away from home. He said the fuel cap he lost during the race had no bearing on the heat result.

Different team manager, different ideas? When I was going every week with my dad, Berwick had Adrian and Marcin at 1 and 2. Also had Ricky and David Bellego at 1 and 2. Has worked before having 2 heatleaders at 1 and 2.

Only one tactical I think

Was Like Harrison out for 28 days? Didn't think Workington waited 28 days to reintroduce Luke. When does the 28 days start (is it the first match or when the declaration is made).

If Berwick finished top of that list, they would make the playoffs. Need positive results against these teams and pick up anything against the other 5. Was at Redcar and should have went to Edinburgh like you instead.

Would he not come back to Edinburgh on the average they released him on? Was told a few years ago by someone that if the rider was dropped another team could sign him on his new average but the team releasing him had to sign him on the average he was replaced on (unless his average had went up).

Josh hit the fence a couple of times in heat 2 so probable reason for his withdrawal. Kelsey Dugard didn't hit the fence or anything and didn't have 3 rides. Unless I'm mistaken, it was said Dugard had reinjured himself (shoulder I think). Should the problem about having 3 rides not be directed in that area (obviously not injured in the meeting). It was a probationary ref so should be up on the rules you would think (referee on centre green according to Dick during the parade).

Would Jonas's brother and another 5 pointer fit instead of a HL? Might be a different option.

See on the website that Ben is back in the team as an injury replacement for Archie.

Thanks. Kieran is just above 3 from last season so would have been unavailable even though he isn't in any NDL team (wondered if being lower than the 2 reserves would have counted).

Agree with your points made and hopefully all injured riders are ok. First time seeing the Bullets and would say they are missing Halder at reserve and Archie in the team (could they have named Kieran Douglas as number 8 or is his average to high to be a number 8)? One thing I would add is why did Sam never get excluded at the starts? He was moving in all his races and actually touched the tapes in two races. There was a camera behind me and to my right (wonder if facing onto the start line). Would be interesting if it was recording. Referee was not at his best last night (giving wrong results, not giving extra time when riders had two on the spin etc, etc).

Just seen something on Facebook that Jye was withdrawn in Poland?

No wonder speedway is struggling. Was at Redcar when Leon fell before the meeting (chat was there was no facility for him as he didn't crash in the meeting). Word is other teams get a facility for a rider not having raced this year and not in the country (and it can be extended).

How long is Archie going to be out for? If Berwick are a couple of points below the limit and he is going to be out for a while, I wonder if there is anyone to strengthen the team with. See Mason still hasn't scored a point yet this season so R/R not much use.

Was my first meeting of the season (not the best of starts). When speaking to someone at the interval I was asked to look at the riders 1 on 1 (Jorgensen and Lawson etc) and give an edge to a certain rider. Once we had went through the 7 riders he said I hesitated on 2 so call them equal. He said you favour 4 Redcar riders and 1 Berwick rider with 2 equal so it would take riders being on form and other riders being off form to win.

Will Berwick have Danny Phillips at number 8 (asking as you seem to be in the know). Possibly safer with the reserves needing 11 rides between them.

Sorry must have lost the link on my phone. Others have posted now so won't try again. It was on Nathan stoneman racing page (not sure about his own page).

Nathan has info on his injury on his Facebook page.

Thought Birmingham captain was Justin Sedgemen and James Wright as vice captain. Was said at BSN league launch. That's what the Birmingham website says (unless the info is from last year).

Emil seemed to miss the other match at Czestochowa when Torun lost 47-43 (didn't race according to polish updates site). Was that a planned absence or was it when he was riding in this country?
