Predictable hammering for Berwick, hopefully their record around Armadale will improve over the next few seasons.
-
Tonight's crowd for the Berwick meeting is abysmal according to the updates, so you`d think there will be money lost for the Edinburgh promotion tonight. Berwick smash the 20pt barrier.
-
I know he isn't the safest at times, but you`d like seven riders like Jason Garrity in your team every day of the week.

Can we organise a whip round for another set of tapes.
-
Guests have got out of hand, and made the sport look poor, but as has already been posted there is no shortage of riders, so no need to go to six man teams.

Odds on a Sarjeant jump start

The hard core support from Berwick and surrounding area would still go, the key for survival would be how many of those who go to Armadale on a regular bases would travel down to Berwick each Saturday, not many IMO.

There`s a very real prospect in the change of numbers in the PL, not sure why that would have a knock on affect for the EL. I am sure they would love the likes of Glasgow there, but their promotion have already committed to another season in the PL. -

By the sounds of things the draft idea for PL reserves from the NL seems very much on the agenda from some promotions, but is being resisted by others. Surely this is what shouldve happened from the out set of the draft idea, young riders going from NL to EL is to big a step.

As far as your second part of your post goes, Ladbrokes would offer you very decent odds on that happening, though it would be fantastic entertainment giving some Berwick fans post on here, and that of club officials on other social media. Would the Edinburgh promotion swap one venue where crowds are dwindling for another. Maybe they could see Shielfield as a more permanent and better stadium to run their speedway than they currently have at Armadale.
-
Agree with you, everything is relative, clearly Berwick don't have the kind of money Glasgow have to spend on promotional ideas but for the likes of Berwick a little promotion could go along way. Unsure of Berwick`s break even figure, it would be interesting to know how many times it has been reached this season, judging by the crowds of late not many of those would be break even I would guess.

Doesn't seem to be alot of interest in this meeting, we haven't even had the usual mud slinging between Berwick`s finest posters.

But the points limit would be lower so Luna might still make an attractive signing. -
No better promotion than word of mouth from the people going, for example I know a couple of people who have been and they have said what a great experience they had, so much so they have been again. The transformation to Glasgow Speedway is example of what can happen when something is really promoted on a constant bases, and not just meetings here and there as some clubs do.

No your right it hasn't, but if certain changes are made and the points limit lowered they may have to reconsider. -

Just read an article from Rob Godfrey saying there is disagreement between promoters about the make up of the PL for next season, and he cant start signing riders till that is sorted out, so you`d think Newcastle will be in the same position regarding riders. -

Giving the strength of the Berwick team, this is a PL meeting in name only. Look out for a big home win.

Congratulations to Berwick`s Leon Flint who has today won the British Mini Bike Championships.

You really think Lambert will race PL next season, and for a Saturday night track. -

Wrong, Kennett did blow an engine in Ht1 at Berwick the previous evening.
