Giving the two clubs that Masters has signed for and the promoters involved Id be amazed if those promotions were dragging their feet with the paperwork.Masters`s signing has been known for a while.

Some Comets fans,by no means all.As is always posted that every track has its mindless idiots,including Berwick.

Im lucky,I work with a couple of Poles who are speedway mad,I mentioned that I fancied going to a GP,they sorted my out with flights,hotel and GP tickets.Also I going to a Polish league meeting on the day after the GP. Havent got my tickets to the house yet.

This meeting has been called off due to the snow in the Armadale area.

Vissing`s on his way to Edinburgh. Sad to hear of Tullys injury,hopefully he`ll not miss to much of the season and will be back scoring points for the Diamonds very soon.

That was always the opinion of our former centre green presenter,team kevlars are the thing for now and the future and Im in favour of them,they make the sport look more professional. Take your point when using guests,maybe the club could invest in a couple or three spare suits. The Man Utd point is relevant though,on most saturdays one of their players runs round in all black blowing on a whistle from time to time.

The counter arguement has always been that team suits somehow take away the individualism of the rider,something I done agree with.I like teams in race suits for the reasons you give. Just an idea but I wonder if the club have thought of producing team shirts as merchandise,they could look like the top half of their team suits.

I wasnt there myself but looking at other media outlets I think the riders did have a go on the track.

Berwick will go with rider replacement on friday at Armadale,with Smith back into the team for the return on saturday. Berwicks 1-7 for the start of the season will be. 1 Ricky Ashworth (capt) 2 David Bellego 3 Kozza Smith 4 Matt Wethers 5 Robin Aspegren 6 Alex Edberg 7 Nicki Barrett

The 2013 Bandits,tidy looking race suits.

Agree about Wethers,he is Berwicks key rider in many ways,however his scores round Shielfield in his time with Edinburgh are heatleader scores to that has to be a positive.

1 Somerset 2 Leicester 3 Ipswich 4 Scunthorpe 5 Newcastle 6 Workington 7 Redcar 8 Berwick 9 Edinburgh 10 Plymouth 11 Rye House 12 Sheffield 13 Glasgow To be honest I couldve put my top three in any order,and much the same for positions four to eleven.Sadly I cant get Sheffield nor Glasgow out of the bottom two.However a couple of team changes for those two and they could quite easily climb the PL,for example if Vissing`s off to Edinburgh and Masters gets his visa sorted out then theres a top scoring rider sitting on the sidelines who could improve those teams no end.

To some on here,I feel they were just waiting to stick the knife into Pearson & Tatum,no matter who the commentary team were.That said I thought they did ok,even if there was a little Aussie bias,but I didnt mind that to much.Best of all was the questions to Johnno about what riders were doing in the pits or at the start. Average GP which did come to life later on,Ward look fast early on but faded,Woffinden did fine,poor night for Holder.

FFFFFreezing,its probably as cold as it was for the Ben Fund meeting,you have to take your hat off to the brave souls going along to practice tonight.

Sorry but I completely disagree,I think the Berwick team is stronger without Albin,just out of interest which one of the Berwick 1-7 would you drop. I wish Albin all the best at Sheffield,but Im pleased he`s there and not with us.

Aye damn those Ruckies.

They are a funny lot down Ipswich way.

If Koppe has anything about him Im sure he`ll work out the quick way round Sheffield soon enough,if he doesnt he has riders in Stead and Hall to give him some advice,not unless you want to of course.

Just what does a Sheffield rider look like.

All Ward needs to hear when he`s at the tapes come saturday is,"Quick Police".

Theres going have to be mega snow for the Q & A session to be called off,we`ll have to wait and see on the practice though. Ricky Ashworth is getting some practice at Sheffield tonight.

In my view young Woffinden is a tad fortunate to be in this years GP series,but thats water under the bridge now,so it is to be hoped that he takes this chance.Sadly I cant see a top eight finish for him.
