screm

Your right,but as I posted earlier,for the next few weeks there are no clashes.Should Kennetts stay with us become permanent till the end of the season then theres bound to be clashes where Berwicks fixture would take priority,of course I doubt if Swindon would go for that as Kennett is a big scorer for them,also,I think Kennett is doing the GP Quailiers this year so would miss Berwic home meetings to ride in those,though in those meetings Berwick would get a guest facility.

Certainly bigger than the crowd that saw the Sheffield meeting a couple of weeks ago,probably around the same as last week in our meeting with Workington.Whatever the attendance was Im sure the promotion wouldnt mind a few more turning up each week,and given Berwick won last night and the racing was better Id hope they do.

Ive no doubt that the Berwick promotion done their sums financially before signing Kennett,and feel the money their paying him can be covered by the extra people coming through the gate,especially if Berwick are winning.If they they get it right then the jobs a good one,get it wrong and the promotion will have to make up the shortfall. As things stand there are no fixture clashes,Swindon have no fixtures on the 2 thursdays Berwick are riding at present,at least at the minute those 2 thursdays are down as reserved on the Swindon site.Of course all of this is dependent on how long Kennett is with Berwick.

Looking at the fixtures we dont race again at home on a saturday till June 11th and our only home meeting is Newcastle a week on tuesday,though I understand they are looking at bringing forward one of the later meetings.As things stand at the minute,by June 11th,Ashworth will be fit again hopefully and the promotion will have a decision to make.

No need to old fruit the meeting was well and truely won by then.

At the halfway stage Leicester were well in the meeting and probably looking at a point or two,Nieminen and Doolan were unbeaten,and they had Karlsson was chipping in with points.Sadly for them,they were blowing away in the second half by a Berwick team who provided all but one of the heat winners in the second half,the only bright spot being an awarded race win in Ht15 after Wethers had taken a fall while trying to overtake Nieminen.It would be fair to say Leicester missed Bjerre as his rides could only muster 5pts while Berwicks r/r brought home an impressive 9. This was Berwicks best performance of the season by far,with all the riders chipping in with points,and all of them getting at least one race win.Great to see Aspegren back on the kind of form we know he is capable of,and if thats after a kick up the rear end from the promotion then well done them.Kennett after not the best of starts its fair to say looked the rider we thought e is,very classy,but I think the rider that surprised us all was Paul Starke,a steady first couple of rides before a crucial Ht11 win over the tactical riding Nieminen,all this after Smith a made a mess of the tapes. This has to be the start for me,much better racing,much better performance,but still work to do if we are climb up the PL table.The only down side is that there wasnt more there to see it,but hopefully once the word gets round that Berwick are winning and the racings better then the missing fans will return. Im so offended,I hope Chek of the yard will be along presently.

Quite right,it really doesnt matter,or maybe it does to some.

Sorry if anyone was offended,post now removed.Again sorry.

The signing of Edward Kennett has quite rightly grabbed the headlines,and I hope he does a great job for Berwick,but Id just like to put a word of encouragement on here for Paul Starke.He certainly hasnt been short in putting himself forward for a PL place and looked like he did a reasonable job for Newcastle towards the end of last season.Berwick have now giving him a chance at PL level again,so I hope he makes the most of it and can chip in with a few points. How long he will be with of course might be determined by how long Kennetts short term deal lasts and that could be determined by how long Ricky ashworth is going to be out for.

Everyone should have a little bit of screm in them.

Your life must be a rich tableau.

As it turned out Kennett wasnt on Radio Newcastle this evening,they had Christian Henry in the studio talking about the season so far with Newcastle,but they did have Berwick manager Ian Rae on the phone. He was asked about Ricky Ashworth,he said Ashworth had been to hospital last week for a scan,he was going back to hospital to get the results.Rae had phoned him but so far had not been able to talk to him.He did say however that as Ashworth had a head injury he would not come back untill fully fit. On Kennett,Rae said they first contacted Kennett 3 weeks ago and there had been on off talks ever since,they spoke last sunday and a deal was agreed last tuesday night.

If your quick Edward Kennett is just about to be interviewed on Radio Newcastle.

Damn you wait all day to answer a post and now you find its not there.

I was wondering why the poor fellow had been gagged and chained to the Town Hall. Is that Seb who?.

Having been onto the Swindon site,this now appears to be a short term signing,probably to get the team winning again.Presumably when Ashworths fit a ready to resume racing he would come back into the team.

Kennett probably wont come cheap but the cost of having a losing team,allied to the fact not as many people going,doesnt bare thinking about.

Kennett could be a helluva signing and will do at least as well as Ashworth,and Starke has asked many times on here for a chance at PL level and Berwick have given him that,its up to him now to take it.Did a decent job at Newcastle towards the end of last season,anything like that and he will do ok. Ive been critical of the promotion for not acting quicly enough in making changes,thats certainly not the case here,I hope the changes work out for them.

Its the whole point of the forum old boy,posting and replying to those posts. Come on keep up.

Obviously the loss of Aarnio & Morris affected both teams,leaving only the reserves to cover their rides,I think its fair to say that the Workington reserves were up to the job where Berwicks were not.Thankfully Kozza Smith continued his good scores,but there was very little else. The Berwick promotion deserve better results and performances than they are currently getting from certain riders in the team,the quotes at the bottom of each match report says virtually the same thing every time,that they will get to the root of the problem or make the neccessary changes that will see things improve,in general they arent. Some riders have been critisized,rightly IMO,some riders have responded on social networking sites which is their right of course,but it might be an idea for those riders to do their talking on the track as all they are doing right now with their paultrey returns is adding fuel to the fire.

To true,time for Edberg & Barrett to step up to the plate,I believe they are both capable. Sometimes beliefs can be oh so mis-placed.

Like all men I think Im the boss,but like all men we know thats not true. Not a great start to the meeting at Workington.

Im sure Berwick will be rewarded with a good crowd for the Sky meeting,and Im sure there will be some of the missing fans there.Its the clubs chance to show them what there missing so they get their backside trackside each saturday. As long as the hoovering,dusting,ironing,cleaning and dishes are done I`ll be taking my girlfriend,if there not done she says she will go on her own.

Oh dont worry Im as guilty as the next man for moaning,but I will be there next saturday no matter what.Sadly theres more and more empty seats each week,and thats the conundrum the promotion faces,ie getting those souls back.

As I said before Ive missed it,and to be honest its maybe better that way.It must have been pretty serious for Berwick Speedway to threaten legal action.
