Berwick will need to keep any defeat to no more than 8-10pts IMO if they stand any chance of pulling things back come Saturday, good choice of guest with Ayres.

It was only a matter of time before Sarjeant got a team place, unfortunate circumstances for Newman but I think he will do a decent job.

I like to new start to the meeting and I can see it being popular with the younger fans, having two centre green presenters may work out, only thing for me is that at times you feel like youre listening to a conversation rather than having meeting presentation. But credit to the new promotion for at least trying things new, some will work some wont, meetings at Berwick have been presented in roughly the same style for donkeys years using the same jokes season in season out.

Fully agree, if only every meeting could be like this, hard first turns, close scores and even closer racing in front of a very healthy crowd. Newcastle look to have put together another good team and are lead by probably the best rider in our league so to hold them to a draw may not look such a bad result in a few weeks. Berwick look a decent team this year, Vissing looks very good and IMO Ryan Blackrock thoroughly deserved his rider of the night award. Like the new presentation of the riders at the start of the night to so all in all worth the £15 entry money and that's all I ask.

Spring has definetly sprung in the last couple of days in Berwick, lovely yesterday and equally lovely today so no problems weather wise.

Robert Lambert has warmed up for this weekends meetings by winning a Pairs event in Lublin this afternoon, partnered by Bjarne Pedersen his team scored 21pts, Lambert scoring 11pts.

Lambert is named in the Newcastle side for this weekends fixtures in the preview taken from the official Berwick site. http://berwickbandits.co/news/olympus-marquees-berwick-bandits-powered-mike-hope-wooler-open-their-team-season-visitors

And with a very encouraging forecast for Saturday and Sunday it looks like you should see two very decent meetings.

poole speedway‏ @poolespeedway 16m16 minutes ago More Pirates have an exciting announcement due to be made tomorrow (Wednesday 22nd)........

Agree with you, seems there was decent crowds at yesterdays meetings at Wolverhampton and Peterborough, hopefully a trend that continues for every club this year.

Whatever the crowd figure was for last Saturday the task that the new promotion faces is to get as many of those that were there last Saturday to return again and again throughout the season, something that hasn't happened in seasons gone by. In other season we were told of this buzz, something that many fans didn't feel, but this season there does seem to be a genuine positivity around the club, if the team gets off to a decent start then the new promotion might be onto a good thing.

The two lanes of traffic thing has been happened for years, though I agree it can be a problem at times when someone is trying to get in. If people treat it as a proper junction and leave the incoming left hand lane clear it will add to the time it takes to clear the car park. Anyway surely a car park full of cars with people going to the speedway is a nice problem to have, must admit its never been a problem for me, maybe you could stay back a few minutes to let the traffic die down a little.

In what way ?.

We did have rain for a good part of yesterday and most of the night, still some drizzly bits a pieces hanging around this morning in places. Happily the forecast for later is an improving one. http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2655819 Nice words, here's to this season and many more.

Well said that man, I hope he sticks to his word. http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/15156639.Speedway__Steadfast_Ford_digs_heels_in_over_Holder_availability/

Absolutely, for those who thought that last Saturday need to wait till June or July when the real cold nights hit Berwick.

Weather set reasonably fair, not much chance of rain or snow so the practice session will go ahead, not even all that cold.

Delighted to see that Ricky Ashworth will be there on Sunday, he can be sure of a heroes reception.

Not from Saturday but here is something exciting to report, on a rider who is clearly going places. https://www.leonflintracing.com/single-post/2017/03/05/Flint-Confirms-ROW-Rybnik-Partnership

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_coventry_warwickshire Speedway debate coming up next, hopefully this link will work.

Gutted for the many Coventry fans who have been robbed of their night at speedway through no fault of their own, but with the goings on at Brandon in recent times none of us can be all that surprised at today's announcement.
