As has been debated on other threads on this forum it might have more to do with the changes in the bikes rather than the circuit itself,still looking forward to my trip over to Prague though.

Dont Newcastle still have the honour of hosting Berwick in the 2nd leg of the much heralded Tyne/Tweed Trophy.

Dont worry there`ll be plenty of money for drink.I might wait till the start of next season,the guy I sit next to at Berwick (good evening Alan) helps organise the trips for Travel-Plus,I`ll have a word with him.

Easyjet fly from Edinburgh to Prague,depart Thursday come back Monday £118,thats including insurance and booking in bags etc.

Wont any Sky deal have to be agreed by the time of the conference,maybe not contracts signed but a firm yes or no from Sky,though I must admit I fear speedway has missed the boat.

Your right but having looked at the flights and the like its pretty cheap,dont worry about the racing I go to Berwick every week so quite used to crap racing.

Excellent,time to book the flights,my first European GP infact my first GP full stop.

At no point in the last few seasons have I though Berwick had a team that would challenge for the PL title,but nor did I think we`d have a team that would finish just a place or two from bottom and our season finishing in September,and had it not been for a rain-off and the Ashworth meeting our season wouldnt have made even that. The team that had Rymel,Rempala(Marcin),etc seemed to be going places then was torn to pieces by injury,since then we`ve been promised much but realised very little. One things for certain theres going to be alot of interesting eyes cast as our promotion puts the 2014 team together.

Can we take it as confirmed that the Czech GP will take place on May 31st.

But no better than Paul Starke IMO,a reserve pairing from Branford,Starke and Carr would be very weak.If Carr is to be one of the reserves than his partner had better be a decent points scorer both home and away on a regular bases.

Absolutely, we've had decent teams on paper at the start of the last few seasons yet somehow some of the riders seems to get away with under performing on a regular bases.Of course nobody wants the riders to ride with fear of losing their jobs but I don't think it does any harm to let them know that poor performances wont be tolerated either and that's what part of the managers job is. Survival in this current climate is an achievement in itself for Berwick.

Possibly true with some but certainly not others. Agree with you and hopefully Carr does the job, we cant carry riders, been there before and it failed miserably.Im sure on decent gear Liam Carr will do ok.

Liam Carr seems to be stitched on as one of the reserves for next season, that's bound to spell bad news for Paul Starke,that IMO would be very hard on Starke as he did all that was expected of him in 2013.Still not convinced that Carr wouldn't be better off signing full time for an NL side and doubling up with Berwick as he did in the season just gone but it appears its now or never to sign Carr as other clubs seem to be shown an interest in him to.

Its about getting the job done,and Greg Hancock has a record that proves he gets the job done better than most.

Thats hardly a boast to be proud of though is it.

God preserve us.

Surely one of the riders who are at the minute already replacing injured rider,Holder,Sayfudinov etc,would come in should Holder not make the start of the GP series.

Bet Dyers ready to roll tomorrow night.

Id find it hard to understand should Holder get a pick if hes unable to make New Zealand,and even harder to understand Harris being anywhere near the GP series next year.

Gollob & Holder are nailed on certs for Wild Card picks,it was mentioned last night that Gollob would be fit to return in three months leaving him enough time to prepare for New Zealand.Im less certain on Holders fitness being ready for March next season,though now he`s at least out of a wheel chair hopefully that will quicken his recovery.If either one of them fails to be fit for New Zealand that might open up another pick. One of the other picks will be a Swede,Jonsson would seem to have the best claims as he has missed a couple of rounds and he`ll argue that he mightve qualified by right had he had a full season.The other pick could go to quite a few riders,but winning the European Champs last week might put Vaculik to the top of that particular group.

Many people including me were doubtful whether Woffinden deserved to be back in the GPs.But hes the Champ and thoroughly deserves to be so. Well done Tai.

Hampel wont get 21pts IMO so hopefully Woffindens task will be a tad easier.

Liam Carr will be riding at Armadale next season,but it will almost certainly in the colours of Berwick.

Dont worry its something we are more than used to on the Berwick threads.
