You eating in Cornhill shop, very nice very nice,mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I am hoping by mentioning it, other fans will think he is worth sponsoring. It's a damned expensive sport, and they need every bit of help, I should perhaps waste my money on a rider that rides for another club, rather than the one I support. I look above snide comments from an odd fan, as I know the vast majority of Brummie fans are fantastic bunch of fans. What should be remembered is it is due to riders sponsors that the rider is able to ride for your club, and on going support allows them competitive equipment.

Am proud to sponsor Leon Flint, and am really pleased about his first performance at Birmingham. He will get a lot better as the season goes on, I promise you that, very confident on his machinery and very confident in his ability to improve. This is a rider who needs no pressure, he will do that himself. TAFFY

Considering the financial situation at Newcastle, they are lucky to be running, and the fans should be pleased at that

Scott, I dont know much about Edinburgh set up, but worth investigating. I was hoping all of the problems of the recent past were out of the window, with Scott & Jamie in charge, a better rapport would be happening. It appears that the old demands have returned, instead of working for the benefit of the club in a harmonious way. I would never dream of picking an arguament with my customers, it would only me that would be the loser.

I absolutely agree with you. You would think that the Promotion would be pleased that Berwick has a successful Supporters Club, and it doesn't matter how they allocate their hard earned money, it all helps to the success of the club.. I fear that this blow up, is more about Control, rather than common sense.

Aye, but you cannot blame the fan for poor management, and you cannot blame the fan when poor management depletes the entertainment. I still think if Scott had continued in the way he said he would, there was a possibility of success, it does appear however that recent history has reappeared, and it does make you ask the question 'who is pulling the strings'

Which all comes from the paying fan, it is therefore the paying support that pay the riders wages and the Promotion manage that money. Sponsorship is significant to a rider I would probably look in the region of about 33%

Speaking to a solicitor the other night, if a name has been used constantly for a period of time, the name becomes established in it's own right, and does not infringe 'copyright' As ' Berwick Bandits Supporters Club' have been going for about 50 years, using that name , it is now established and has no need to change it's name. The supporters club do a brilliant job in what they do, if you are helping the riders you are helping the club. Speedway has always been established on a combination of wages and sponsorship, if the rider loses any form of sponsorship the onus is then placed on the club to make up the difference, so any form of rider sponsorship should be welcomed by the club. As the 2 new owners are ex riders, they should have a better understanding of that than most people, as they will have relied on that individual sponsorship in the past

However the track was much better last season because of him, it worries me that the track will return to the crap we had for the previous 8 years.

Vissing to selfish a rider to back up Worral, he would probably take out his team mate just to win, just as a did on Kus at Berwick

There is a nice block of talent coming out of the Youth Development under Neil Vatcher, Kyle being one, Leon Flint coming up behind him then the 2 McGurk brothers just to name a few. My worry is if they get into the wrong clubs and are not nurtured

Don't think :Leon will be content on 4 years, 1 year + perhaps.

As I have said before, I will continue to sponsor Leon, he has massive potential. I like his signing for Birmingham as I believe they can get the best out of him. Please remember he is just 15, so does not need pressure, just nurturing. Any pressure needed he will provide it himself, even if he started brilliantly, he would still demand improvement of himself. TAFFYS

enjoying your chocolate then

You got the wrong guy , this guy cant afford the bus to Berwick at the moment.

Aye ! and most teams will punish the other 5 Heeee Heeeee

To be fair, the team ended up OK, I will admit that the original line up was not competitive, although we had a lot of injuries, the consequence was the team improved at the end of season. Bridger has a talent, his history should have warned any promoter to steer clear, Vissing just not a team man, Berge again a talent lost if you cannot mamage his talent.

Nothing like going through THE CHANGE

It is hope he aint running up from Wales every Sat.

For short DAI BACH
