screm

Delighted to see Ashworth finally getting home, he has come along way since his accident and I hope now he is home with his family and in his own space his recovery will continue. Forecast is rain this morning, then brighter during the middle part of the day, before the chance of more rain this evening, lets just hope we get a meeting in, the last thing from a financial or organisational point of view is another rain off and another meeting to re-schedule.

Nice try.

Can we now be done with it and crown Berwick the rain off champions of 2014. I`m reasonably confident of making it 17 tomorrow night.

Giving the forecast for tomorrow, I`m thinking the only winner tomorrow will be the rain, forecast for most of tomorrow.

Getting anything at Ipswich was always going to be a tough ask, though I thought we might score a few more. As has already been pointed out no team will win meetings if three riders score only two between them and you have two riders scoring zero, bit of a mystery why captain Wethers was allowed all four rides. Hoping for much better tonight at Scunthorpe.

What makes it worse is that for the last two Saturday home meetings Berwick will have had to pay out on expenses as the riders have reached Shielfield and been ready to go, both times the weather has been fine right up to late afternoon before the rain came. Who would be a promoter in this instance, unless we get some leeway from the Council to run more off night meetings, we wont get our meetings done by the cut-off date, double headers would be an option but they would hit the club financially even more than rain-offs.

Financially the last thing Berwick need is another rain-off as these recent rain-offs must have hit the club hard, not to mention the fact we might struggle to get all our meetings in by the cut off.

Berwick had Tatum, Jimmy Nilsson and Richard Knight as a top three, the rest of the team was mostly made up from the previous years PL team, Blackburn, Grant, Robson, Little etc, though Berwick did bring in the likes of Michael Blixt to bolster the team. Fancy that a speedway rider signing a good contract to earn good money.

I haven't got a clue what your on about.

IMO there is only one place up for grabs, Pedersen and NKI will definitely come into the team, MJJ will to IMO but less likely. On tonight's showing I think Hans Anderson will get a place, Killdemand is to much of a gamble, and I think we saw the best of Pedersen and he cant do any better.

Your missus says you don't get to much of anything these days.

Enjoyed tonight as I enjoyed last Saturdays meeting at Kings Lynn, looking forward to the Race-off on Thursday, though given the amount of practicing the Poles will be doing I wonder if they wont take part in this meeting as a guest team.

And very good one`s they are to, sadly I don't know what ever became of Tatum.

Sadly his season was ended by a nasty crash at Oxford, which also claimed Swede Micheal Blixt as another victim, infact I think it ended Blixt`s career.

I have seen the damage done to Comptons crash helmet, it certainly did its job and saved Andre from what could've been a nasty injury.

Decision made then.

He certainly was, Tatum, Nilsson, and Knight were a very potent top three.

Latvia have been a real let gown tonight, I thought they could really get amongst the big points.

Now that he made his racing comeback, would Glasgow not be keen to take a look at Josef Tabaka.

Take your meaning Doolan, apart from Edinburgh last Friday where virtually the whole team was hopeless, his scoring has been better in the last few weeks, maybe the new parts are doing the trick, apart from one poster who thinks Doolan "is really going well" IMO he has been inconsistent and not what was expected as our No1. In saying that I`d leave this team alone now for the rest of the season.

That guy from Latvia is useless.

Have a look at Berwick, normally we`ve had our end of season do by now, this year our season might just last long enough to get a few meetings in September.

If Berwick are looking to bring in a new rider for next season, could I put forward the name of Czech rider Edward Krcmar, watching him in tonight SWC Event 2 in Sweden and he looks a very tidy rider.

Newcastle have had their fare share of trophies in the last few years, its actually quite nice for them to give some other teams a chance.
