  1. Good to watch Kevin Doolan coming a good third in tonight's Scottish Open Championship!
  2. Not just as clinical as that of -- the extra people, even if not quite "17-over-10" will buy programmes (handy profit in every copy) plus food and drink. Track shop sales will go up, and of course there is the intended bonus of lapsed and/or new customers liking their night out and coming back for more on future Saturdays. While going down to £10 this week is a breathtakingly bold leap by the young promoters, it really has to be applauded and supported by everyone who really wants to see speedway continuing in Berwick. What now has to happen is that everyone "tells a friend" about the deal, highlights the thousands of posters and fliers around the borders and urges folk to takes the opportunity to come along, bring the kids and savour the occasion. Get a buzz going around town and keep that buzz going on the night -- let's have some fun while we're enjoying the show! PS: Negative posters need not reply
  3. The lad Cook has a patriality. On the bigger question, it is without doubt the case that since the BSPA changes, the rules are changed to suit those and such as those - the Worky/Lakeside Friday fixture cancellations last season being a prime example.
  4. Leon Flint will be second reserve for the GP Challenge event at Glasgow tomorrow. Fully deserved after his efforts last weekend.
  5. Ryan Douglas obviously can't guest for Scorpions as he's replacing Jensen, but l'd suggest the home side can aim a bit higher for their guest and invite Stevie Worrall to return to the colours.
  6. Blooming 'eck, now I find I'm agreeing with balderdash&piffle! Bottom line -- it is home scoring that entertains the vast majority of spectators at any speedway.
  7. I agree with Fromafar. Which is unusual, but..... The injuries have kneecapped the team, which has lost the early-season zest as a direct result. The extra meetings for Spud and NBJ (and Leon) are taxing and -- most importantly, as identified -- the club is run on the strictest of budgets in order that we can continue having speedway. The recent sweeps around town on Saturdays, plus school tickets and free drinks show the promotion are busting their guts to keep the show going and those who want, and want to support, speedway in Berwick have to applaud their enthusiasm. Next meeting isn't for a fortnight, the visitors will be Edinburgh (a promotion backed financially by their supporters to a massive degree) and we have to hope Bandits' injuries will have eased and the team spirit (in the pits and on the terraces) is revitalised. Enjoy your speedway!
  8. Sounds as though Hans Andersen might be MIA. Although the Danes have a few handy lads to stick in -- maybe Rasmus Jensen?
  9. I think they have -- you can now get a guest for any of top five -- but as I suspect your question might have been prompted by Kevin Doolan being 4th in Bandits' averages this month, you needn't worry, he's moved up to third in the pile as from June 1st. Meaning that, for r/r on Saturday, Bandits can use everyone except Spud for the skipper's races.
  10. You can do it with Management Committee's blessing. 'Nuff said?
  11. Charles Wright will certainly prove a (very) secret weapon for Bandits, but we do respect Trevor Geer as an excellent team manager.
  12. Very Impressive gesture by Facennas, as they'll presumably have to reimburse FIM for each ticket!
  13. As l wasn't in the country, l used Twitter to get blow-by-blow results on Saturday night. Did the job fine. Much faster than Proboards too, of course. If you want to know the race results even more quickly, you need to actually go to the meeting.
  14. Well, on the positive side, in 51 years of half a dozen promotions the only time the Bandits have failed to complete their league programme was the result of direct action by the-then Edinburgh owner (Parker) and not the promotion's willingness to go the distance.
  15. Love the term 'vigilante supporters'................
  16. His average will change (without waiting for a cut-off date) immediately he has completed four home/four away official (League and Shield only -- not KO Cup) matches. Might be a wee while yet?
