  1. He never paid the fine that was imposed,and the ban was extended I believe.
  2. Kennet made a quick recovery,did he not fancy Somerset .
  3. Think he will prove a lot of doubters wrong ,one thing for sure he will entertain on what I have seen of him in action and that's what you pay to see.
  4. I think it would be good to award a bonus point for every heat winner,but not added into to score until after the meeting has finished not to interfere with qualifying points on the night.eg Woffy scores 13 points on the night but had won 3 heats so he gets an extra 3 points on his total after the meeting has finished =16ptsMight make them fight for the heat win instead of settling for 2nd in some instances.Only a suggestion.
  5. While the club has done well to survive since it's out set,particularly during recent times when the sport of speedway in General is in decline,it is still the same catchment area that seen the Club well supported through its initial years in the 60/s 70/s .it is interesting that the Taylor's who brought the Sport to Berwick actually came from Jedburgh,having supported Berwick since the Opening of the club I think in the early years and even up to the end of the Fairbairn era a majority of the fans came from the Borders Area andSouthern Scotland in particular.I read the Ken Taylor was going to be a guest of the Promotion he would be a great guy to tell the history of the early years of the club and it's support .I my self have memories of the Christmas Dances that were run by the BorderBranch Swinton which were sell outs without fail every year.It would be interesting to know how many Branches of the there were in the Borders in these days . The club is having good season but unfortunately the support is still just the hardcore,think most clubs are in the same boat.Will these heady days ever return for speedway.?
  6. All these counter attractions have been around as long as the Speedway.
  7. hoping for aBerwick win tonight,but really has the sport any credibility with these crazy guest rules which always seem open to different interpretations of what should be riding or what guest facility should be used.
  8. Unfortunately many other fans share your view of guests myself included ,the sport needs to get its house in order.It really is just 4men on 4bikes doing 4laps.
  9. I think the genuine 6-7 pointer foreigners aren't really interested in British Speedway these days.Better money to be made elsewhere .Watching all the young talent at Berwick u/21 round last year you knew fine that you would not see any in the PL.
  10. It's a good team on paper but like you say they can't get all the riders to perform on the same day,really Glasgow are there for the taking and you got stuffed.Thats Speedway though.
  11. the Refs are too Inconsistant with this delaying the start lark.Tell the Team Managers before the meeting what he expects, exclude the 1st gardener and things will settle down.
  12. You must be looking forward to a Edinburgh v Berwick play off Final over 2 legs then.that will settle the theory.
  13. I would agree Scunny is a well run club and Godfrey has speedway at heart.Brilliant race track and entertaining.
  14. Rob Godfrey was very entertaining and a great sense of humour on my last visit.
  15. Same at Wolves straight back round to tapes after false start which pleased Kelvin,so Sky have probably stuck their oar in regarding these delays and rightly so IMO
  16. Have to agree Berwicks loyal support can put up with lack of success as the last 40+ seasons have proven.
  17. Don't see the point of bringing Edberg back if we had points to spare in the averages we should have dropped one of the Top 5 and brought in a 7 point man that would have become an asset.Finances obviously have to be taken into account though.
  18. I think that was because of the promise of a return to P L racing the following season.the way the NL is now don't know if it would be worth opening the doors if we dropped down ,but that is for the Promotion to decide.
  19. I think you will find in soccer in Scotland and England the Play-offs are to determine promotion and relegation the Champions in the Leagues are the Teams with the most points at the end off the season
  20. cannot see any reason why Berwick fans would give him abuse,done the business when in Bandits colours.think he will get a good reception.The Berwick fans that I know that seen him ride for Bandits are knowledgable and certainly would not stoop that low.
  21. Trouble is you can only have 2 reserves and you will have a lot of serious contenders!!!!!!!!!!
