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.

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.

Thats just daft,and I never suggested any such thing.

Your right U-21s in Italy.

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.

Fair enough,if we are allowed a guest for Bellego then Dyer would be everyones choice,that would let everyone in the team get an extra ride to.

Dont think its got anything thing to do with the PL,if SVEMO say they have to race in Sweden then they`ll be racing in Sweden,it may also come down to what fixture was arranged 1st.Do our 2 Swedes race in the Swedish Extraleague,I know they both race in the Allsvenskan League but that takes place on a Thursday.

R/R for Bellego on saturday will only allow Wethers and the two reserves take rides. If Berwick do go with Dyer then Dyer will assume Ashworths average as this is the rider he is replacing,but as Fromafar said yesterday there are better alternatives around than Dyer as a guest for our No1.

Giving that both tracks are of similar size and shape,you`d like to think Berwick would be capable of making decent fist of things tonight.Having lost points in the home leg some away points are a must somewhere along the line.

Th Nick Morris guests for Berwick,hopefully with a bit more success than last night.

Because I thought where you have 2 riders missing from the team,you are granted a guest for the higher averged rider and r/r for the lower,also as No1 we would be entitled to a guest anyway for Ashworth.Furthermore,Bellego is missing to ride for the French U-21s in Italy,maybe its one of those meetings where a PL club cannott use a guest,similar to the UEM meetings. And theres that to.

Looking at his scores it seems Newcastle have picked up another gem in young Kerr,its something that Newcastle promotion have a knack of doing over the years.

From memory,Tabaka passed Edberg Ht2,Smith passed both Comets riders Ht4,Smith & Aarnio both made passes in Ht7.Thats four,making your post incorrect. Remember just because riders arent passing and re-passing,that doesnt mean there wasnt decent racing.Ht15 for example,Comets riders made the gate Harrison lead all the way,but there was great covering going on from Lawson who had both Berwick riders to contend with.

Great to hear theres some good racing somewhere in the PL. She mustve started her knitting last night as she missed a helluva a jump from Howarth.

Get what your saying but Dyers on fire right now having just come off the back of an 18pt maximun last friday.Im not saying we should use Dyer but the post I answered had Dyer as a guest for Bellego,which I dont think we can do. Agree with most of your post,but 2 passes all night,I think not.

According to last nights programme Ashworth will be missing for anything up to a month. Berwick can use Dyer next week but only as cover for Ashworth.
