not sure how much was raised on night but regarding the wristbands there were started and continued by the efforts of the Bandits 2012 Group who were sponsoring ricky for this season as well as giving help to the rest of the team

if Dimitri is any good get him signed young riders are the future for all clubs have heard good reports about him looking forward to watching him tomorrow night.

think kennett's average when we had him at berwick was about 10-42

think i would persevere with starke

think i would keep kozza as long as he has no long track commitments, agree with keeping bellego think he can improve even more in 2014 need stronger reserves if we are going to be in the mix at end of season.

if alden is still at berwick 2014 will try and get a better song for him lol

whats he done

i'm sure the name of this post is Berwick v Rye House not a post mortem of where this season has gone wrong so back to saturdays meeting sadly we are using r/r due to Kozza's injury which does mean extra rides for the rest of the main body of the team not a bad thing as we are a bit fragile at reserve. Think this could be a closer result than people expect as Rye have riders capable of scoring points at shielfield in Allen, Mellgren, & Nelson think the result could hinge on how Aspgren performs on his 1st visit. Hopefully there will be a half decent crowd craving for there speedway fix after a 3 week break and we finish off the league season with a win.

season finished at redcar in cup match when they squandered a 28-13 lead in the 2nd leg and that was the 18th of april

hopefully if it is the best stadium in the PL they will allow for the fact that there will be a bigger crowd on sunday than normal and open up extra facilities like the bar on the 1st bend so you don't have to stand in queues for a refreshment or toilets.

good to see Richie and Andrew coming forward for this meeting hopefully some elite league riders can come forward and offer there services for a worthy cause as they cant all be riding in the golden helmet meeting the following sunday

think for 2014 i would be looking for some fresh faces in the team Sam Masters & Taylor Poole are 2 that come to mind, other things like having a consistent track each week so the riders basically know what to expect in regard to there setups.plus a big push on promoting / advertising the fact there is speedway in berwick, which to be fare has improved lately with posters and banners beind displayed more.

Shame that Kozza is missing hopefully Bellego, Aspegren and Barrett will turn up to this meeting as 11 last places out of 12 races at Newcastle between them was simply not good enough, Can see Seb and Starke getting amongst the points but being optimistic we will do well to score 35pts.

Us Berwick fans always end up at that pub next to stadium will have to frequent NBT this time

think he is keen to come back to berwick for 2014 but you never know with speedway

im on a 5 pie average lol

Disappointing result from a berwick point of view didn't help losing kozza so early in the meeting as for the rest well Seb won a couple of races Matty finished off with 3 successive 2nd places but once again full marks to Paul Starke for 100% effort would like to see him back for 2014. As for the remaining riders 11 last places out of 12 rides does not win you matches. On the plus side - chips and curry sauce were very tasty on a cool night.

so if kozza is longtracking on sept 22nd who will represent berwick at sheffield un plrc

the Tyne Tweed Trophy normally is at start of season but was replaced by Ian Thomas Trophy where Newcastle raced against Workington.

22nd also the date for PLRC at sheffield

Meetiing Postponed

speaking to members of the promotion they all seem very positive about next season, as for the team kozza depending on long track commitments bellego, + 5 more

Result could hinge on the performances of Robin, Paul & Nicki as Somerset look solid all the way from 1-7. Looking forward to the return of Seb although would have preferred it in happier circumstances but with Kozza, David & Matty really riding well lately at home this could go to a last heat decider. Tomorrow is also Ricky's birthday so a win would be a nice present for him. come on lads we can do it.

Tonight I am looking for 3 things Good Meeting, Good Result. but most importantly GOOD NEWS about Ricky

Good luck to the bandits on saturday and also for both sets of riders for a safe meeting, sadly having to miss this meeting as i am on holiday but should be a comfortable win for the bandits.
