A good or bad end to Berwicks Season ?

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

Ok only 1 more meeting left at Berwick and with only 3 riders left on the team we are probably looking at a major defeat.

However to perhaps there is one good thing which has came out of this bad season ending. Peter Waite, Berwicks Promotor, has finally got his finger out (excuse the phrase) and officially released a signing for the 2008 season. However after seeing the rider ride at Edinburgh and then again at Berwick last Saturday i will say that perhaps he needs a little bit more time to practice before he moves into full PL speedway.

Crash Course In English

Here is an article I read in the Daily Mirror after first hearing about the incident on the Berwick Speedway Website :

A czech speedway rider who could barely speak English became suddenly fluent after a head injury.

Matej Kus could hardly string a sentence together until he was knocked out racing in Glasgow.

It is thought to be a case of foreign accent syndrome, which can affect concussion patients.
