Yes i saw that , Rasser and Claus didn't exactly set the world alight tonight either .

So this is the starter dish before the much awaited Saturday double header . We have to bounce back after last Saturday's lamentable performance and it won't be easy against a Bandits side full of Ashfield specialists . Will THJ remember where Scotland is on a Friday now ? Which Ben Barker will turn up to guest for the Bandits ? And will we show a bit more fight than we did last week . If we get a dry day tomorrow , we'll find out .

Hard to really understand the reasons why . Pickerings injury didn't help, as has Heep's absence . But the two main reasons look like being Lawson's contribution from reserve wasn't what was hoped for and Wells has been poor on the road .

Charlie Monk , the king of Glasgow

Season done then

Not so , it's a local dust up . If it were Berwick v Glasgow followed by Berwick against Eastbourne or Birmingham , I could see your point . But on this occasion everybody in attendance will have a team to support in both matches.

This is true

This is going to be awesome, really looking forward to it

Thanks for that , got it booked

Yes Sarj wasn't convincing there , but whoever thought Mikkel B Andersen was an improvement needs their head examined

Cheers

Touch of the Big Time Charlies about us last night . While we moaned and whinged about the track , the Scunny riders got on with it. attacked the track with a purpose and were well worthy of the win . 53-37 didn't flatter them at all . We're coming to the time of year when tracks ate going to be difficult and weather affected , and if we show the attitude we showed last night we'll be winning nothing

Yes there is , but I like to go to the Black and Gold after the speedway and stop in Berwick overnight

Is there something else on in Berwick next Saturday apart from the double header ? Been looking at b&B's and they're all over a hundred quid for the night . Anyone know of one on the speedway track side of the river ?

Maybe optimistic starting a thread for this meeting during the current monsoon season , but after two consecutive rain offs followed by a blank weekend, we're desperate to get this on with the cut off date rapidly approaching . Covers are down , but the rain needs to stop at some point before tomorrow . So fingers crossed we get this on

I'm sorry , but when you enter a competition surely you want to try your best to try and win it . I dont get this argument when a team shows a wee bit of ambition the " win at all cost " accusation comes out . I really don't understand that way of thinking .

We're quite happy to cheer on the Bandits first . Be a nice warm up act before the serious stuff starts

I was sat in the front row of the stand and couldn't tell who had got up on the line , so nobody was well in front

Plus Mr Maximum Is away GP Challenging this weekend

And so it goes on and on and on and on . Cook can ride until the appeal is heard , he might yet still get banned . Which should make everybody very happy it seems

Be nice if Birmingham could upset the league leaders here

He's being overshadowed by fellow reserve Connor Bailey recently , he's definitely struggling away from Ashfield. Yesterday was a disappointment, after losing a match we really should have won at Leicester , I was optimistic about our chances here , but we never got going and never really recovered from being 22-8 down after 5 heats . Take nothing away from the home side , they were much better than us on the day

No worries , enjoying my stadium carvery just now

To be fair to Claus, he did ok there in the cup tie earlier in the season , so it's pretty much like for like

£20 , they were babbling on about refunds when we left , but I wasn't really listening . I did worry about the less experienced riders on that 4th bend last night , after what Sam Jensen did in heat 14 , and watching Hume during heat 1 of the NL match only increased my doubts . How he stayed on I'll never know
