If the criteria is enforced for this Tier 2 visa, its difficult to see and Aussie newcomer being granted a visa.

I remember when this thread was about Darcy Ward.

Start of the season though is not a fixed date each year, for example do we take the start of this season to be the Ben Fund meeting at Swindon or the first official fixture.

Fixtures now on site, now all we need is a full team to fulfil them.

Newcastle regularly finish in the play offs, there`s no reason to think this team wont get them back there. They have a promotion and a team manager who seem to have the knack of getting the best out of their riders, might take a bit of time to get things going but I expect Newcastle to be play off finishers this season.

As far as age goes I thought it was a riders age at the start of that year, not the start of the season.

As far as announcing goes Berwick are well covered in that department. I`d be amazed if the promotion gave a jot as to what goes on on here, after all there is only a tiny minority of Berwick fans posting on here compared to what turns up at Shielfield every Saturday.

Is there a story to be told and if so are you going to share it with the group.

As promoters and/or owners that's part of their job surely, to keep the fans informed the best way they can.

I`m think they must've had a prior engagement as I am sure if they could've been there they would've.

Ward is not yet banned just suspended, though its a hell of a suspension.

Let us all hope that what is announced stays that way, weather allowing.

Absolutely, if Ward is found to have done wrong then he deserves all he gets IMO, but any speedway fan would want to see Ward back on a bike, back in SGP and back in the EL.

Delighted to hear Dennis McCleary has been rewarded for all his hard work for Berwick Speedway over the years, IMO its fair to say if it wasn't for the likes of Mr. McCleary and others speedway might've lost Berwick Bandits years ago.

Don't think anyone is condoning what Ward did.

I knew Rymel and Makovsky were over but didn't realise Carlos Villar was being inducted. Is Villar still doing his car racing, seemed to be cutting out himself quite a career on four wheels after his career on two was cut short.

Cheers, see thing odd thing is while me and you agree on virtually nothing I actually like reading your posts, they are normally well put together and good to read.

Jealousy, insecurity, maybe he just likes it, flattery comes in many forms and disguises you know.

Ways and means round that surely, if Wolbert was on the fiddle I am amazed Glasgow let the situation go on for entire season.

Part of this forum is to advise, praise, offer opinion and on occasion criticize, which we all do, if you don't like it maybe this forum is not the right place for you, or on the other hand there is an ignore feature with which you are free to use at your discretion.

Whether its hundreds, thousands or indeed hundreds of thousands sign the Ward support petition on social media I doubt it will hold much sway with the FIM, one thing though I wish the disciplinary date was here and we could put this whole episode to bed one way or another.

So it might have been an idea to have a spy at Berwick rather than in Oz.

The fact that Sissis will start out at reserve for Sheffield will see him be a decent scorer IMO, many Sheffield fans only a few weeks ago was applauding their promotion for signing Sissis.

If your suggesting Berwick have a spy, or scout out in Australia, my question would be where has he been until now, especially when you look at the talent that has come over here in the last few seasons.

Don't know what the bigger surprise is, Mr. Barrie having a fan club or Glasgow having an un-vandalized phone box.
