True but then could only muster three plus a couple of bonus last night at Berwick.

Should Edinburgh finish top I`m sure they will have Berwick on their pick list, more or less guaranteed 3pts at home and in with half a chance of a point at Shielfield.

Scunthorpe more so than Berwick, they looked a handy team last night. Young Perry at reserve could be a weak link but if they can get him chipping in with a few points Scunthorpe could be a team to be avoided in the play-offs.

And more and more people are doing that week after week.

Also there is good news on Joe Jacobs, he is feeling better this morning and will ride at Glasgow later today.

Haven't a clue but it was a welcome pass all the same.

Sadly for Rye House Speedway, Silvers my way aint working.

After Workington collected maximum points from their two meetings last night the play-off places are just about cut and dried IMO, Newcastle have clung onto 6th place for a while now, for them to get back in they will need to take maximum points from tonight's meeting with Peterborough, and then get a four point win at Edinburgh next weekend which is unlikely, even if they do Workington still have meetings where they will get points starting with a trip to Glasgow today.

Running double header meetings when there`s a curfew is a risk, sadly last night that risk was compounded by two accidents that saw riders withdrawn and in one case an air ambulance required, maybe one or two on here could remember that before complaining about not getting thirty heats for their money. Hope Jacobs and Mills are up and about asap.

Decent meeting last night and Scunthorpe can feel a tad unfortunate they didn't get more out of the meeting as they lost firstly Birks and then Auty, both of whom would've come in for consideration for Ht15, also they provided more race winners than the home side that said Douglas did win Ht15. David Howe was excellent for the visitors. Bellego, Edberg and Jensen all had poorish nights, hopefully they are getting their duff meetings out of the way before play-off time, though it was good to see Jensen walk away from a nasty looking fall with Birks at the start of Ht14.

If nothing else Tarnow win the award for the most cars on a speedway track.

To be honest Berwick`s hopes of ever finishing top two were slim at best, now they have a job on to finish third though if Berwick had been offered 4th place at the start of the season they would've taken that.

Scunthorpe have been in decent form of late, form that has seen them all but guarantee a play-off place, but I think Berwick will want to bounce back after last nights efforts at Somerset.

Disappointing but not an unexpected drubbing at the home of the league leaders, five race wins all night tells its own story. Move on to Scunthorpe tonight.

Edinburgh`s site is reporting no last injuries and they hope Worrall will take his place in the teams trip to Rye House tonight.

Agreed, but surely there`s a world of difference from racism to a young speedway rider unwittingly taking a banned substance in a sports drink.

Surely until the FIM have announced their decision, Ward has got away with nothing, he is at the minute suspended from speedway pending his hearing.

Seems not to much interest in this thread, though thanks to the in depth and informative post1, there isn't much else to add. Forecast is decent for tomorrow, we are forecast to have some rain during the night, its raining now, that rain will move southwards and should be gone by morning. Saturday will be dry, maybe just a chance of a shower in early evening, but its all looking good for a good meeting tomorrow night.

Somerset have been in invincible form at home, so I`m not expecting anything from tonight. The one positive from a Berwick view is the return of Whethers, interesting to see how he gets on, he must be fit enough to take extra rides IMO.

For this particular offence he is suspended prior to any ban being handed out so he hasn't yet been let off. He was arrested, charged and convicted of a drug offence while at home, so he was hardly let off for that. Lets see what happens with the FIM decision.

There is only one person capable of solving the task of sorting out British Speedway, he is the standard setter on the Berwick threads. The one, the only Bigeddiechek.

Whether Ward gets a big ban, a small ban, or no ban at all, the important thing is, will he learn from all this. As others have said, and as I believe the answer would be no, so in all likely hood its only a matter of time before Ward does something that lands him in bother yet again.

The Polish Extraleague ended in chaos last year with the Unibax Torun debacle against ironically Dudeks Zielona Gora. If Zielona Gora are punished and stopped from taking part in the play-offs you can see history repeating itself.

Ok Harkess goes, what then, who takes over that would make that much of an improvement.
