Why the need to get personal, your team won and won well last night, I would just be grateful for that.

I think we should be hesitant about putting Carr straight back into PL racing, he did well in last weeks meeting lets not forget he is returning from an injury that many thought would keep him out way longer than it has, at least Carr will give 100% in each race no matter if he is last, something we don't get with Edberg.

Yes I agree, the situation Ashworth finds himself certainly brings home the good work the Ben Fund does, and the reason why it is there. Berwick have been up with the more generous givers for this cause over the last few seasons.

Don't think it was quite rubbish, against some of the pap we`ve had to sit through this season it was quite good really. I will try to watch it over again as it was on tv to see if I get a different view.

I agree I don't think the actual racing was all that bad, there were positives, I liked the style of parade ( I hope they continue with it ), and I think the two minute clock on the centre green is something that every track should have at every meeting. Talk about history repeating itself.

Lets face it Berwick fans an 8pt defeat flattered us big time, Peterborough would've won by a far more comfortable a margin had the had Lambert for his final three rides. This kind of result has been coming for a while, six man teams don't work long time, especially if one of the reserves have an off night, last night both Berwick reserves had poor meetings. Which leads me to Mr Edberg, this was always going to be a big season for him, a one where he needed to make a real step forward, sadly its not to be. Don't mind riders having poor nights, don't mind riders coming last but I am not paying good money to see a rider literally give up, and not for the first time it must be added. Surely last night was his last time in Berwick race jacket. Promoter promote, supporters support.

You`d like to think so wouldn't you.

Still bits and pieces of light rain around but it is brighter than before.

We have had some rain in Berwick overnight and it remains cloudy right now, forecast is for any cloud to clear over the next few hours to leave a dry day. It will be cooler than of late. Whatever team Peterborough and for that matter Berwick are turning up with I hope tonight's meeting is a good advert for Berwick Speedway,Peterborough Speedway, PL speedway and speedway racing in general, and lets face it, right now it needs all the help it can get.

You seem to be in the same circumstances as I, I worked with lots of Poles who are speedway daft yet few actually attend. Seems there`s an untapped seem of support out there, if only we can get them trackside.

Birks 5-83 Franc 5-67 Whether Pepe could commit to all of Sheffield's fixtures is another matter of course, but that hardly seems to matter nowadays.

Sadly something tells me this isn't the last press release of this kind we will see. I hope the people of Scunthorpe get themselves along to their speedway meetings from now to the end of the season, Scunthorpe Speedway is a real jewel in the crown, if for no other reason it is one of the very few tracks where riders are able to practice virtually all year round and surely that has to be worth saving. Berwick tried that a couple of seasons ago, crowd levels were virtually unaffected, if there was an increase it was more kids who were getting in free anyway.

Dont give up just yet young soldier, I can remember a couple of seasons ago when we had our first Sky meeting, this time against Newcastle. The Diamonds turned up minus Andrew Tully and Ludvig Lindgren, who was racing in Sweden that Tuesday night, many predicted a hammering for Newcastle, the won by 8pts.

If I were Peterborough, and giving his performances as a guest already at Berwick this season I`d be looking at Ritchie Worrall as a potential guest for Wednesday.

Its best to ignore this particular poster, they seem to go from thread to thread getting sillier by the post.

GO Speed International Ltd (GSI), the company responsible for managing British Speedway’s contract with Sky Sports, would like to make the following comments following Monday’s Elite League meeting between Coventry and Poole. Go Speed International Managing Director, Terry Russell, said: “Our role is to try and keep all parties happy whenever possible – Sky Sports, the individual clubs, the British Speedway Promoters’ Association and more. “We were concerned by the weather forecast for Monday and informed the Coventry management we needed to speak to them on Saturday morning to potentially postpone the meeting. Unfortunately, we could not get hold of the Coventry management at that time. “Our agreement with Sky Sports is that, in the event of a poor forecast, we can give them the option to postpone 48-hours in advance at little or no cost to the broadcaster – and at the same time we would offer the staging club another TV date. Win, win. “However, once the 48-hour threshold had passed, every effort was made to stage the meeting as Sky were committed to the broadcast. “The track was fine at the start but deteriorated because the rain finally arrived – rain which had been forecast earlier in the day. “At no time did Sky Sports have a say in whether the meeting went ahead, if the track had been waterlogged during the day it would have been postponed there and then – but it wasn’t. “Sky were quite prepared to run a ‘filler’ show in the event of no racing, but when it was obvious the track was fine, both teams were happy to race. “During the meeting, the steward and co-ordinator liase with the managers and captains and the meeting went to the end of Heat 10, admittedly in far from ideal circumstances. Once again, Sky Sports had nothing to do with this decision. “It’s a delicate balancing act trying to keep everyone happy – and the fans inside the stadium were obviously disappointed for which we apologise. “We sincerely hope this situation never arises again – but This is the statement released by GoSpeed, unfortunate last sentence as we didn't have to wait all that long for the situation to arise again.

Hopefully our " 2nd rate riders " wont spoil the Lambert party on Wednesday.

Its off. Belle Vue Speedway ‏@TheAces 1m1 minute ago Having reviewed the condition of the track the referee has taken the decision to postpone tonight's meeting. Re-staging date to be announced

Looking at riders posts on Twitter, I think its fair to say if the meeting goes ahead its going to be wet.

In this particular case who else is there to blame.

No one is/has laid the blame with Berwick, but thanks for reminding us.

We can argue all day about what has happened and point the blame finger at Peterborough Speedway all you want, but this is another meeting that is going to be broadcast to the widest possible audience our sport has just now and once again it shows speedway in this Country in a very poor light.

At the minute we have two six man teams, three guests, and two rider replacements, in other words a true reflection and a typical speedway meeting in this Country. I assume not, as the club would've announced that kind of thing by now in their news letter.

Sky will choose their meeting, you would have thought someone from either the BSPA and/or Peterborough would've told them about the missing riders.
