Must admit its the first time anything to do with speedway has blocked me, up till now its been Newcastle United footballers and the odd Sky News presenter that have put me on the naughty boys step.

They are a touchy bunch doing the Peterborough Twitter page, I`ve just been blocked.

According to the Panthers Twitter page its R/R for Harris, I don`t think he rode in the British Masters today, I`ve seen no injury from last nights meeting at Workington.

You assume correctly. https://www.acu.org.uk/News/2017/08/ACU-British-Masters-Line-Up-Announced/

Pretty standard stuff for and end of season interview, he was getting ready for the play offs with Swindon, he thought he had as good a chance as any in the Championship Riders Championship, and that he`d enjoyed himself at Berwick and went onto thank the club, promotion and fans.

Edinburgh still looking for a guest for Masters though it looks likes R/R. http://www.edinburghmonarchs.co.uk/news-centre/article/2017-09-09/monarchs-looking-to-pillage-the-points?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Forecast has changed slightly from yesterday with a few showers around for today, one of which we are getting now. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2655819

Weather set fair for tomorrow so hopefully we will get a good meeting. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2655819

Berwick have managed 30 and 37pts on previous trips to Ipswich this season, I`d be disappointed if we cant be those totals.

I don`t see doubling up being as much of an issue if the top leagues goes to fixed night racing, if the status quo remains then doubling up will still be the problem next year as its been this. For example if Nick Morris re-signs for both Swindon and Berwick, and the top leagues goes to Monday and Wednesday`s, then there should be only very minimal fixture clashes which will hopefully eradicate the need for as many guests.

Always enjoy watching these meetings, especially the youngsters.

I think one big league is a non-starter as I don`t believe there would be enough riders to go round, also I think the difference in standard between the top riders down to reserve riders would be to great, I know we had protected races where there would be two reserve races but even so I don`t see one league working. IMO doubling up isn't the problem, only when the riders two clubs are racing on the same night does it become a problem, if Premiership went to two night racing, Monday & Wednesday say that would largely eradicate the problem of Premiership and championship meetings clashing, which would reduce significantly guests which is the real problem IMO.

Going into the second legs IMO Stal Gorzow will over come their 4pt deficit, the second semi is much more hard to predict, Leszno will go to Falubaz as favourites.

The second day rain off facility would only be for the Under-21 event Lambert rode in yesterday, not for a Polish play off meeting that he was due to ride in today. Though in a weird way because of yesterday`s meeting, and today`s rained off league meeting Newcastle have ended up running R/R.

I can`t give you a first hand account on any rumours, though what is accurate is that Worral and Lawson had to be pulled apart in the pits prior to the Berwick v Glasgow meeting a week or two back.

Great to see Jarek Hampel back to the kind of form he was in re-injury from the SWC, but he`s holding Flaubaz together so far, IMO the likes of Dudek and Doyle need to get going or they will face a big deficit going into the second leg.

Rumours suggest Mr Worrall has been doubling up.......when he shouldn't have been. Think Mickey Dyer.

Only a guess but maybe Lambert`s postponement in Poland today a made a difference.

Falubaz making a bit of a mess of this so far.

Ok Monday`s and Wednesday`s then, that would still have minimal affect between Premiership and Championship. Obviously there is league racing in Denmark that night but that doesn't seem to cause to much trouble as maybe it once did.

Doubling up isnt all the problem, it only becomes a problem when the riders two clubs end up racing on the same night, moving the Premiership to one night per week racing would at least help in reducing guests as at the minute no Championship club races regularly on Monday nights.

Wouldn't the only way that Newcastle could get a guest facility was to claim Robert Lambert was with holding his services, up side would be the Diamonds get guests, down side is that Lambert would get an automatic ban.

I hear the scenes in the Berwick pits a few weeks ago were quite hilarious.

Looks like it was called off around lunchtime, our time, I would guess it would be just about impossible for Lambert to make it to Newcastle in that time. https://sportowefakty.wp.pl/zuzel/708765/w-lublinie-przegrali-z-pogoda-spotkanie-przelozone-na-czwartek

Looks like Robert Lambert`s meeting in Poland has been postponed due to rain, re-arranged for this Thursday.
