Hasn't he ridden in Poland since his injury?

Yes, that old chestnut, he did ride in Poland didn't he? I thought I read it on here somewhere.

Let the inconsistencies begin 🎲🎰

Where did you get that information from?

As far as I can see he hasn’t ridden in Poland for a quite a while now, he also hasn’t ridden in any of the pre season individual meetings across there either.

The reason he can commit to Berwick is partly due to his lack of overseas commitments, by the looks of it he is only committed to Britain and Denmark currently and the Danish season hasn’t started yet.

I thought I read it on here somewhere, I could very easily have been mistaken though, it has been known to happen. I may have been getting him confused with Paco, who withdrew from the pairs, it could have been him that was riding abroad on the Sunday.

Paco I believe was due to ride abroad on Sunday therefore couldn’t fill a spot in the CLRC but also withdrew from the Pairs due to a crash he had at Armadale on Friday.

Paco not racing for Edinburgh tomorrow night as racing abroad (seen Drew guesting for him).

Possibly that also.

The only thing we do know is that the day before Leicester's press and practice his father informed the club that he wasn't ready to ride Speedway. I think the clubs he was contracted to ride for, and their fans, deserve some kind of explanation, even if it's just a "personal reasons" statement and in Bewick's case some kind of acknowledgement of the events at Leicester... it's not too much to ask from a professional sportsman and or club. 

Speedway is definately not the place to work, if you have mental health problems, the Promoters are as much to blame, they know the riders with problems, weather they are mental, drug or alcahol related, should a rider be issued a licence if he has mental health problems?

Don't be saying that, you will have people trying to tear into you for it. Even though your bang on the money.

Again, people shouting their mouths off with no understanding of what 'mental health problems' either means or entails. 

"Should a rider be issued a licence if he has mental health problems?"

Did you know that if someone has OCD, that is classified as a mental health problem?! So if somebody has to continually wash their hands, or has to count a number of times before carrying out a daily task, or has to check they have unplugged the iron five times before leaving the house, they cannot ride speedway?! Don't be so ridiculous. Next, you'll be asking for a table of classification as to what permits you to ride and what doesn't. There are too many people who think the term 'mental health issues' means 'nutter' and that anyone suffering from it is incapable of living a normal life.

And for the other person on here who believes that Craig's problem is alcoholism, and that he is using the excuse of mental health issues to cover it...firstly, you know NOTHING at present. But let's humour you...if someone does have an issue with alcohol, you do realise that may be BECAUSE of their mental health problems?! Up to 75% of PTSD sufferers turn to alcohol. But I suppose they are all using mental health as an excuse too are they?!

Is tomorrow the most anticipated day in Berwick Speedway's history?
