Normski

Enjoyable meeting last night with track conditions producing better racing.Good to see Alex riding with a bit more confidence also Richard Hall looking sharper. Top 4 done what we expect of them whilst Hynek can't be faulted for lack of effort.Disappointing crowd for a local derby didn't appear to be a lot of diamonds fans in attendance hopefully crowds will pick up when the warmer weather comes.

Put it in football terms George English is mouriniho ours are John Carver

Nielsen would be an ideal guest plus Ipswich are at Armadale on the Friday so not to far for him to travel

Spoke to Alex yesterday on fb doesn't think he will be fit enough to ride next weekend

Maybe a crop sprayer system on the back of a tractor to keep the track consistent all meeting giving the riders a good racing surface

Track better last night

no just the normal track grading

Be just what the doctor ordered to have a decent cup run think a 20point lead would see us through over the 2 legs

Think at Newcastle riders carry there helmets with them for parade then jump onto there bikes for a couple of practice laps

Anything to make a better atmosphere is worth considering doesn't help when they can't play background music until 6-45pm

Since returning to watch speedway again in 2010 Saturdays crowd especially against Workington was one of the worst i have seen. Where do all the former fans go on a Saturday night, Berwick is a small town with about 18 pubs and 2 nightclubs although a lot of our current support comes from outside the town. Its not as if we face competition on a Saturday night from other attractions such as Ice Hockey, Basketball, Ten pin bowling or a big cinema complex or an arena that hosts concerts with popular bands etc. Being situated where we are on the map apart from the usual suspects Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle we are not getting hordes of away fans turning up to meetings anymore. As for the track as long as there is football there, the shape will never change and no people dont want to watch gate and go every week but as was proved in the under 21 meeting, when the track is prepared to the standard it was that night it can provide good racing. Hopefully when the better weather comes we might get a few more bodies through the turnstiles.Lets hope this Saturday we can get back to winning ways and put together a nice little cup run.

In the black n gold on Saturday past the bbsc presented all the riders with a cheque to help them out. Also financial help was given to Kevin, ,Alex, and Claus towards some hefty repair bills. I'm sure once Richard has settled in he will also get a presentation off the bbsc. As you should know both the bbsc and 2012 Group are there to help and back the riders.

Wethers if he had a visa would do a job

Fair play to the tigers for turning it around last night looking forward to coming up today to witness your new improved facilities. Full bus load coming up to see the bandits make amends for last night should be a fun day

Lasse Bjerre now guesting Sat night

2012 Group came about due to Lee Complin asking for sponsorship for the 2012 season, a group of fans although not financially rich decided to get together and put in a small affordable amount each month into a account from their own pockets to help. This group of fans decided that it would be benificial to help all the team with what little money was available. The first 2 seasons Lee, then in 2013 Ricky were the main benefactors with the rest of the team receiving a token amount, until last season when all the riders received the same. Also after Ricky's tragic accident the group played a big part in rasing funds for him to the tune of over £15.000 due to the sale of wristbands which was speeded up with the support of the promotion. As regards f**k the club attitude, when ever the group has been approached regarding sponsorship for big meetings we have whenever possible always supported the request, e.g., sponsoring Fence Fund, heats for Ben Fund, under 21's GP meetings etc. Finally the 2012 Group are in no way in competition with the BSC although as already mentioned some group members are on the BSC Committee. Although both seperate groups, the goals are the same

probable waiting for developments regarding Jake Allen

On glasgow website re-arranged for next sunday double header with workington

Think its rr for steen danny phillips guesting for bellego not sure if wethers is fit

Not just the fans, the riders need to go there on friday believing they can get a decent result as often they are beaten before a race is started. Wethers at reserve could have a big influence in how close a result we get although to be fair Alex had a decent meeting last time he was there albeit as a guest. Im hoping for a decent performance at the Dale then turn them over at Berwick on Saturday

think blixt still involved in speedway, does he not manufacture carbs

1991..Berwick..M 24..R 125..PTS 301..BP 9..AVE 9.92.MAX .5F..2P def a hero at berwick almost a 10 point average

can see Berwick winning tonight but would have to be by a big margin to stand any chance in the 2nd leg.
