Tomorrows forecast is okish, there will be showers around tomorrow but there will be a brisk wind which will blow any showers we get over pretty quickly hopefully. It will be on the cooler than of late, but there is nothing in the forecast at the minute that should put the meeting in doubt. Forecast duly delivered as requested, without a hint of pessimism.

If that were to happen we would still be going at Xmas.

I claim to be no such thing, my meteorology skills go no further than looking out of the window and posting what I see, or getting the weather forecast online, if that makes me a meteorologist then so be it.

Couldn't agree more, I`d love to know what weather system they use that makes their weather forecasting skills and predictions so right and ours on here so wrong, and as you say many weather updates are requested by travelling fans both from the Berwick area and from the away team. I`m sure the Berwick fans are grateful to the home supporters weather updates when Berwick are the away team.

More big points for a couple of riders in Poland today, Steen Jensen scored an impressive 10+4 in his Pila`s comfortable home win against Rawicz. Meanwhile over at Krosno Claus Vissing scored 14pts in his sides home defeat with Wanda Krakow.

All perfectly fair, but in this instance the question remains, how could the Workington possibly control all the incoming bad weather to miss Workington. Fair enough the weather forecast has had this rain in it for a few days now but at the time of agreeing this date with Scunthorpe nobody could've known the weather for the day of the meeting.

There is a very real possibility, that with all these rain offs a team could qualify for a play-off place by the cut off date, yet at the end of the season, when all the PL have been run finish outside the top six, maybe even win the PL.

Could the author of post 19 be pointed in the direction of this piece.

Edinburgh will head to Somerset with their tail between their legs after Tuesday`s bashing from the Bandits.

At the end of the day, each and every athlete is responsible for what goes inside their body, and by athlete I don't just mean track and field, so Dudek is responsible for taking whatever he has been alleged to have taken, innocently or not.

The Workington promotion can control many things, but even they cant control the weather, the whole of the northern half of the Country is feeling the after affects of a hurricane that has come over the Atlantic, Glasgow is off, Newcastle is off, it is no surprise that Workington is off. Have you ever considered just how much each one of these rain offs is costing the promotion.

I think that fine remains un-paid, and while it does there is no chance of a return.

No Berwick riders at all, even more surprising, maybe our team is just that a team, rather just than seven riders randomly chosen just because their averages fitted together just under the limit.

15 cups of coffee.

Didn't put this in my earlier post but I think it is worth mentioning, well done to all concerned for the slickness of the meeting last night, well presented, well run, also thankfully there were no fallers. At least this poster is very grateful, especially as I had a 4am start at work this morning.

That might apply for some on the Berwick side, only some mind.

Seems Dudek is quite confident that he will be back racing sooner rather than later.

Unless your Greg Hancock, every rider reaches a peak then starts going down hill, this is what's happening to Gollobb. Its always been my ambition to see Gollobb in a competitive meeting, sadly it doesn't look like that will happen. Great rider, but maybe it is better he gives up on his racing career and leave us with so many great memories.

Giving the current form of both teams I think Sky, and the watching millions are going to be in for a treat on Tuesday evening.

If you like your racing close, and your scores even closer, this wasn't the meeting for you. Sheffield don't have their problems to find just lately with so many injuries, and sadly for them the guests they chose last night were largely ineffectual, add to that a reserve a bit out of his depth and you end up on the wrong end of a big defeat, hopefully for them their injuries clear up soon and they can get back to having a full team, if they can get Covatti scoring they will pick up points. Also, this is a different Berwick team these days, it is a team riding with confidence and one that is going to take a bit of stopping at home. Take nothing away from Berwick though, they were excellent, it was good to see Wethers back on form, and Edberg chipping in with some good points at reserve, clearly there will be stiffer challengers but you can only beat what's put in front of you and Berwick did just that. As ever Simon Stead was a joy to watch round Shielfield.

And let us all be grateful it is.

Oh boy am I going to be in trouble. We had heavy rain late afternoon, early evening yesterday, that cleared away overnight. Forecast for today is good, cloudy in the morning but dry, afternoon much better with some sunshine. This forecast is not "out dated", or am I a "pessimist".

Josh Bates has been ruled out for tonight, with Chris Widman coming in to take his place. Sheffield have signed Nico Covatti for the rest of the season in place of Ty Proctor, sadly he wont be making his debut tonight at Berwick, he will do that in Sheffield`s next home meeting.

The battles between Simon Stead and our riders should be reason enough to get along to this meeting, alas after that I don't see to much that would stop Berwick from hitting a high score tomorrow night.

Maybe he fancies a go at reserve, Wethers form hasn't been good in the last few weeks, though the way the team is built and the way Kus is going we can just about carry a rider. Come the play-offs though, if Berwick qualify, we will need all the team firing.
