Berwick`s task of avoiding the wooden spoon just got a whole lot harder. thankfully we still have Newcastle

Eastbourne can now be added to the list of teams we have lost since the turn of the Century, just over twenty years ago. How many teams will come to the tapes for 2022 Coventry Hull Oxford Newport Swindon Lakeside Exeter Stoke Workington Reading Rye House St Austell Buxton

Only when there`s an airport and a burger involved.

Cook taking time away from speedway due to mental issues, so Lawson to Glasgow looks very possible now.

Leon Flint scored 10+1 for Valsarna in the away meeting at Indianerna.

Condolences to all family and friends. RIP

Transfer deadline day just a couple of days away, Glasgow need to get a shift on.

Gutted for the supporters of Eastbourne speedway who have lost their speedway through no fault of their own. The riders will find other teams, some already have. Very poor management from the Eastbourne promotion to allow things to get to this stage, surely they could've done something before now.

Edinburgh have no meeting this Saturday, anyway surely if Eastbourne were here as was scheduled Luke Crang would've been racing for Berwick against the Eastbourne NL team.

Getting any team to agree to a challenge match would be just about impossible IMO especially at this point in the season, and an individual meeting just as impossible, not unless you are offering mega money of course. Berwick`s promotion are at least putting on a meeting so credit to them for that, but I do agree with you about charging full whack for what is not much more than a practice session.

Very poor from Eastbourne management.

Does your season pass cover this meeting.

Batchelor has used Sheffield to get a Championship team, it has worked, so credit to him for that.

Unfortunately today`s British Under-19 Final at Mildenhall has been abandoned after Ht5 due to rain. Leon Flint had won his first ride while Kyle Bickley came off while leading his first race.

To be fair to the promotions they are caught between a rock and a hard place as to when to call off a meeting. Do they chance it on an iffy forecast hoping firstly the forecast allows for the meeting to go ahead and secondly enough people turn up for a wet meeting without them losing a fortune, or do they call it off early enough to save riders and supporters the time money and effort in getting to a stadium only for it to fall victim of the weather.

To be fair the communication between the majority of clubs and its supporters is rotten to put it mildly. But in the situation Eastbourne finds itself in you would think more effort should be made to keep their fans updated on fixtures etc.

Championship league table should make worrying reading for Berwick, they have ridden more meetings than the four clubs below them and have only a two point advantage over bottom club Kent.

Berwick v Kent off tonight both in the Championship and NL.

Comes as no surprise to see an early call made on this meeting. Hopefully the weather improves, Eastbourne get the money troubles sorted and we see a meeting next week.

A bit like last week with Plymouth Kent come with two big hitters up top so much like Plymouth it will depend on how the others do as to how competitive Kent are going to be. I would expect a similar score to last weeks. Not so sure about the argument about a team doing well at Armadale will do well at Berwick, but if thats the narrative some choose then fair enough, I`m sure we will be reminded of this later on. Weather forecast for today, currently raining and has been for a while. https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2655819

To be honest if the top young Brits really want to reach SGP etc, they need to be racing in the top two Polish leagues and Sweden racing against the top guys week in week out. Doubling up between Championship/Premiership will give them a very healthy income but on the international stage will do very little for them.
