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

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.
-
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.

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.

You`d think so wouldnt you,obviously being on Sky is a chance no PL would ever turn down,but being on Sky with half a team would be daft IMO.Im sure both promotions arent that daft. -
Must admit Ive missed something,I know there was posts taken down from Facebook yesterday but I didnt see them personally.

Berwick Speedway have issued a statement warning of possible legal action against persons making ‘slanderous’ comments about them on social networking sites. A statement issued by the club on Monday said: “It has been brought to the attention of the Directors of Berwick Bandits Speedway Club Ltd that certain individuals are using social network sites to make slanderous statements about them. “The Directors of Berwick Bandits Speedway Club Ltd can categorically assure fans that we have not taken a penny from the club and that all monies raised within the stadium or through sponsorship or advertising is spent on the business of the club. “Since taking over, the current Directors have had to put personal money in each year to ensure the club’s survival. “The Directors appreciate the rights of individuals to have an opinion on the running of the club and have often stated that we will listen to fans comments and act upon them whenever possible. “However, the current statements by certain individuals make it necessary for the Directors to advise that slanderous statements will result in appropriate legal action to ensure the integrity of the club and its Directors.” Taken from The Berwick Advertiser on line.

Agree with that,though you`d like to think both clubs wouldve checked on the availability of their teams and made sure they have full teams.
