So its a guest fest up and down the Country tonight, what a great sport we follow.

Cue riders who didn't quite make it blame the inability to find a set up as their reason of not qualifying.

Yes, I think the only way we could use a guest up to his average is if we claim Gappmaier is with holding his services, though if that happens he`d get an automatic 28-day ban. Surely a much better way was for Gappmaier to announce his retirement after Sunday`s meeting with Peterborough then about this time next week have a re-think and he`s back in the team though even the BSPA would surely see through that little caper.

His van hasn't been outside Cara House all week so I`m guessing he headed off after Sunday`s meeting at Peterborough. Still don`t see why Gappmaier cant be at Ipswich.

Birmingham Speedway‏ @BrumSpeedway 3m3 minutes ago More BIRMINGHAM have suffered yet another major setback after captain Darryl Ritchings informed the club of his decision to quit the sport.

Looks like Porsing could be out longer than expected, he has a fracture in his leg and has internal bleeding in his calf. By the end of this week doctors will decide if he requires an operation.,

Unless he`s walking I fail to see why Gappmaier cant get from Ipswich on a Thursday to Terenzano on a Saturday. Of the others Payne and Bridger are injured so there is little that could be done there, while Morris has to ride for Swindon as their fixtures take president over Berwick`s, something that will happen again before the season is out no doubt. As others have said bit of a shambles really.

Matej`s average would be 7-64, so a direct swap of Kus for Lindgren seems ok given that the Newcastle team average according to the BSPA is 41.86.

What has Lindgren done so wrong that it seems he should be the one to go, true his average has fallen but not by that much, maybe a little support to a rider still averaging more than seven points a meeting. I would love to see Matej Kus back racing over here, maybe even at Newcastle but is Lindgren being made the scapegoat for others failings.

The Redcar Bears fixture which was to have taken place on July 1st will now take place a week early on June 24th I believe.

If Danny Ayres fails to make it it will be Liam Carr who comes in to guest.

Simon Lambert Racing‏ @lambo_racing 1m1 minute ago More UPDATE FROM SIMON: I have broken both bones in my wrist! Operation later on this week! Thanks for the get well wishes etc

Congratulation to Leon Flint on winning the latest round of the British 250cc championship at Rye House yesterday, he won all his qualifying races plus the final to complete a 15pt maximum and extend his lead at the top of the standings. Leon`s next meeting will be in the Czech Republic where he will race in the European Championships.

Lambert at reserve is a giving, surely even Roscoe can see that. After that I would like to see Craig Cook, Chris Harris, Danny King be in the team, after that you are down to one of either Worrall or Scott Nicholls for the remaining place and I hope Steve Worrall gets the final place.

If Lambert`s injury is confirmed and he will miss a few meeting, then Peterborough had better get in quick if they are wanting Liam Carr, he wont be out of a Championship team for much longer.

Covers do work, there is no argument there, but track covers are going to be able to be used at every track for reasons that have already been mentioned. Even Berwick once the football season starts, and Berwick Rangers are playing at home, will not be allowed to use them.

Simon Lambert is off to hospital with a suspected broken wrist, hopefully the hospital will have good news. Hopefully Simon will be back racing very soon.

Prague never misses as a City break, but this time the racing matched the rest of the weekend. Hopefully Prague will get a new contract that will see it add to their 21 years of SGP.

Bridger inclusion could be the difference between Berwick winning and not.

Prague is cooler today than yesterday, something I'm sure the riders will welcome, I know I do. Top four prediction. Zmarzlik Woffinden Holder Doyle

Brider tweeted the other day he would do his best to get back for our meeting tomorrow against Newcastle, in fact he was going for treatment today to aid his recovery.

He was mechanican at the meeting last Saturday and he said that he would be back tomorrow, in fact had it not been for being signed off with concussion he might've rode last week. Big boost for Berwick as he's been great for the team since he joined us.

Looks like there is a new section of seating on the entry to the third, I can't remember seeing that in previous years anyway.

Whatever the rights and wrongs of practice, one thing is for sure, its going to be warm one later on.
