No disparagey meant,after another away defeat last Thursday Im hoping Berwick will be determined to bounce back to winning ways,and having Ben Barker at No1 will help no end giving his performance a couple of saturdays ago.Secondly another home defeat will signal the end of any chance of a reasonable PL finish. If Im wrong,and it has been known on occasion,I`ll be delighted to come on here and sing the praises of the Plymouth team.

Am I the only one thinking positively.....I guess so.

A couple of light showers overnight in Berwick,right now its bright and dry,chance of a shower in the 1st half of the day but nothing to worry about.Forecast for this afternoon is much better,with sunshine. A querk in the average rule book sees Ben Barker back at Shielfield as guest,not a bad thing as he was brilliant a couple of weeks ago.Should be a comfortable home win for Berwick. Berwick 54 Plymouth 38.

Depends if they are male jelly babies or female ones.

Im afraid the Berwick team just isnt good enough.

Not getting to the latter stages of the League Cup didnt help,nor did the fact the Redcar put us out of the KOC.But your right,the last month or so has slow slow stop slow. Berwicks search for away victories or points takes us to Redcar,we live in hope.

Its nothing new,the Berwick press releases have been embarrassing for a while.But dont worry most of us dont take seriously.Infact IMO they are aimed at a section of the support who actually believe that kind of rubbish and need to know what the clubs putting out before they have an opinion. Sad but true.

There looks like theres going to be a 2nd rider announced over the next day or so,one on an assessed average. Horwood & Wright out,Compton & assessed rider in seems to make the Glasgow team stronger IMO. Get yourself back,we all fall out with our teams but always seem to give them that 1 last chance.So far I think Ive given Berwick about 380 last chances,but always return the next week.

Although he was winning races at Berwick last night,I thought he was nowhere near being a decent scorer at PL level.I think the rider himself said he would know alot better after this weekends meeting if he thought he would be ready for a racing return,and I guess he will know best.

He should be able to ride to that average,so potentially a decent signing.Looks like theres another signing on the way,so I wouldnt want to be the next side that takes on Glasgow at Ashfield........oh.

Really dont see the pull of the Polish Extraliga,give me Lakeside v Eastbourne infront of just a few hundred fans,r/r for both teams with guests galore any day. :blink:

If Compton can re-discover the kind of form he was on at Sheffield or his 1st season with Workington,then Glasgow are quids in,though I must admit the last time I saw Compton he was a shadow of that rider. Will score more than James Wright IMO and as his replacement I guess thats a start.

Having seen Adam Roynon at Berwick last night,I say he is nowhere near ready for SWC meetings. Kings Lynn might be as far as it goes for Team GB this year,little or no chance of winning the meeting IMO 3rd place will be as good as it gets. Team GB Harris Woffinden Cook Barker Id include Nicholls instead of Barker but as we know he has no interest in racing for Team GB.

No Josef Tabaka for the Monarchs tonight,he suffered a broken foot while racing in his GP Qualifier last night in Hungary.Derek Snedden and the 2 reserves can take his r/r rides.

The points Pedersen has scored in the last few GPs,riding with a broken arm,has been a miracle,give the bloke a break (no pun intended). Can we put the non-exclusion of Pedersen in his 1st ride as 1st night nerves on the part of the referee.

Instead of who,sorry but cant see it happening.

Announced that he was injured last night racing at Scunthorpe.

Decent if unspectacular meeting tonight where Berwick always seemed to have the upper hand.MOTM was Tamas Sike who was excellent,very eye catching in Ht9 when he went from last to 2nd.Quite impressed with Luke Crang,I think this was the 1st time Ive seen him and I like what I saw. For Dudley,they were held together as expected by Roynon,Starke and to a lesser extent Worrall,though I was impressed by Nathan Greaves whos efforts deserved more than his 3pts. I was interested to see the return to racing of Adam Roynon,IMO he is still a fair way away from being a decent scorer at PL level,which is where he was pre-injury,obviously time on track is what he needs so I hope he finds his form very soon.

Confirmed tonight that Ben Barker will indeed guest for Berwick next saturday.

Nicki Pedersen NK Iversen Krzysztof Kasprazak Freddie Lindgren

No problems weather wise,as I post its bright sunshine.

And theres nothing like a friday night whisper.

Craig Cook did a decent job last week stepping in for the absent Kennett,sadly for Berwick Cook with race for Edinburgh next saturday,so Berwick will need to look elsewhere for next weeks guest for the again absent Kennett.
