In an age where todays commentators never seem to stop talking Ritchie Benaud seemed to say a thousand words by using only one, a true gent and cricketing legend. RIP Ritchie

Spring has certainly sprung in Berwick this week, and the weather`s set fair for tomorrow. There might be a bit of light rain around dawn but that will clear to leave a dry, sunny Saturday, wont be quite as warm as of late, because of a stronger wing, but all in all a good forecast for Saturday.

Perfect illustration from Newcastle of how a strength in depth team works, apart from Crang only 2pts covering the rest of the side. Worrying times ahead by the sounds of things for Redcar.

Nigella, that should get a few more through the gate.

Lawson might be the one to replace Voldrih, you heard it here first.

Mr Cook slates most things on Twitter, including this forum, but hay-ho each to their own. Berwick`s points from R/R will be the difference to see them win this match, must admit I`m more worried about Masters than Cook.

Message from Matic Voldrih via his Facebook page. Zdravo vsem. Kot že veste sem v ponedeljek grdo padel na tekmi v Krškem in utrpel zakompliciran zlom desne noge (golenice/mečenice). Operacija naj bi uspela, ampak moram ostati v bolnici zaradi nevarnosti okužbe z bakterijo. Upam, na čimprejšnje okrevanje. Pa hvala vsem za lepe želje! Hi everyone. As you know I had a motorbike accident on a race in monday in Krško and I have a complicated and open fracture of tibia and fibula. The operation was supposed to be successful but I have to stay in the hospotal because there is a danger to get my open wound infected. I really hope I will get better soon. Thanks to all for nice wishes!

Seems the best idea, though now the leagues in Sweden, Poland etc are starting up most riders who aren't racing over here will have contracts to race in one or both of those leagues. Berwick plucked Voldrih out of nowhere maybe they can do the same again. Adding up isn't this particular posters strong point, last week should she couldn't get the Glasgow team to add up to seven.

Having seen the Matic Voldrih crash its fair to say his injuries, although nasty, could've been worse, he has undergone surgery to repair the break, hopefully he makes a full ans swift recovery. Better news on Thomas Jorgensen who crashed at Glasgow, he is ok a ready for Saturday`s meeting with Edinburgh, albeit with a sore shoulder.

Wethers didn't meet the visa criteria to start the season, so would unlikely to get one now, but your right he would've done a job though on a 5-50 average it might've been a bit to high, it would depend on when the first set of averages come out for team building.

According to the BSPA site Tresarrieu`s average would be 5-44, with Farnc 5-67.

Aarnio isn't a bad shout, though under unfortunate circumstances going with R/R in the short term would probably strengthen Berwick, and give the club more time to look for an adequate replacement. Most riders who didn't start the season over here might have taken contracts to ride in leagues abroad, meaning inevitable fixture clashes.

Best wishes to Matic on a speedy recovery, bad news for club and rider.

Excellent news, though it seems some paying customers weren't to happy with the racing it served up, the referee who was there last Saturday might only come to Berwick once or twice a year, your trying to get the paying customers there every week. Not unless you want to fill Shielfield Park with referees every week of course.

And you needed to post on here to tell us that.

Was the six from Glasgow part of the Glasgow management/promotion. I take you are part of the VIP Club.

Absolutely, and thanks to to the club for advertising the Supporters Club bus via their news letters.....oh.

Delighted to say it looks like the Supporters bus that went up to Glasgow was virtually full, hope everyone enjoyed a good trip to the speedway.

Of course Bandit4evea is correct, to many fans £15 is a lot of money to pay out for a Saturday nights speedway, if the team is losing and the racing poor it doesn't take a brain surgeon to understand the people aren't going to go as many times. I am sure the referees report on last nights meeting will be posted later on, giving some of the comments on here from paying customers it will be interesting to see how he saw things.

According to the promotion the collapse was partly down to a couple of falls and a slickening track, cant do much about the first two but you`d think they could do something about the track which seems to have been very slick. But your right, one defeat shouldn't cause to much alarm, but one or two more in the next few weeks will lead to fans voting with their feet, no matter how great the Saturday night experience at Shielfield is for some.

Losing at home s no good to anyone, especially if it becomes a regular thing, but Berwick wont run into teams as good as Glasgow every week so there`s hope yet.

Are you sure your postie isn't having a quick look before he delivers it to you, I get mine by post without any trouble, normally comes on a Thursday but failing that Friday. Cant you get it delivered, much easier.
