No idea, though surely the more people see Berwick`s advertisement as possible the more likelihood of them coming to the speedway, especially now in summertime with school holidays just round the corner. Looks like we are back to the speculate to accumulate argument.

Doesn't most of the money from BSPA events go to the BSPA.

Thanks for that.

Think you`ll find the announcement is he has signed for Kumla to ride in Sweden.

Maybe they could look at taxi`s in Berwick to, maybe they get some advertising space there to.

What is the visa situation for our new rider Garcia ?. Thanks in advance for any replies.

My point about knocking on doors was more aimed at Berwick than anything else, Berwick is a small town with lots of small businesses, you may need to go to them rather than they come to you. To be fair to the club they look to have already done that with their group of associate sponsors. You mention Perryman`s buses, its great they have come forward to sponsor a meeting later in the season, I think they may be their first sponsorship, I followed one of their buses through the town today and on the back they were carrying an advert for the Kings Arms Hotel and their restaurants. Maybe the club could look in that direction to take Berwick Speedway to lots of people.

It does make sense, if your going to have a National speedway Stadium in Manchester you`d think they will put most of the BSPA meetings there. But what about all those rain offs.

I am sure if anyone has contacts that would help the club, whether they tell us or not, they would use them. But your point is a good one, if you don't make those call, send those emails, or knock on doors you wont find out. The club produced a brochure a couple or three years ago when they were looking for a team sponsor, I would hope they are still doing that kind of thing. Apart from lenses I have no contacts.

Proctor had the chance at the start of this season to get the 7pt average he needed, he failed to do so, so had his visa to be here with drawn.

Its brilliant that Berwick have five extra fans coming on a regular bases, not knocking your efforts but sadly more and more people simply aren't coming any more. Agree with you, speedway in this Country is losing a fighting battle, and sadly there are clubs who are haemorrhaging on a yearly bases, propped up only my wealthy owners who can take that kind of financial hit, how long that can continue I wouldn't know. But one thing is sure, there will be places that will lose its speedway, I am sure we can all agree on one thing it is to be hoped that one of those places isn't Berwick.

Wouldn't that just be like the thing, Scunthorpe will do well to get anything out of this meeting.

Berwick Bandits Speedway Club Ltd 8 hrs · Ricky Ashworth will return to Shielfield Park this Sat 20th June . This will be Ricky's first return visit since the summer of 2013. It will be a very special & emotional night for all at Berwick Bandits Speedway . Let's hope our 2015 Bandits put on a great nights racing for Ricky and his family to watch . Posted on Facebook, what kind of reception will this fellow get, hope the roof is nailed down. Sorry but due to work I was not at that meeting, as I think was mentioned by another poster on that thread. Decent ideas though I would hope these have already been tried by the club, so maybe they have got nowhere. Speculate to accumulate is fine, and if it works your onto a winner, but if you speculate and don't accumulate your out of pocket, and if Berwick`s finances aren't exactly brilliant at the minute any monies lost could put the clubs long term future in doubt.

Putting the British Final on before the GP would be a bad move IMO, maybe if they included it in the price of a SGP ticket but as its run by two different bodies, BSPA & BSI, they would be a non starter surely. If the British Final is to be moved from Wolverhampton, and there is a good argument either way, surely its better to move it to a permanent base at another track.

Delighted to see Berwick getting another sky meeting, the promotion pull out all the stops for these meetings and are rewarded with good crowds, lets hope we get a few extra along and the meeting continues to show the PL in a good way.

I know I`m going to regret this. In recent weeks I have had two short breaks, one in Prague for SGP, and then another in Kings Lynn for SWC so I haven't had the chance to read each and every post on the Berwick threads. But my attention is yours, to which subject to you want me to have an opinion on.

Absolutely, I would love to get into a debate with Bigeddiechek, and I enjoy reading his posts. Sadly, it either turns personal or ends up with an I know more than you posts, so I don't bother anymore.

If its true there are 500+ people getting the news letter, one wonders where they are on a Saturday night as, looking at some of the crowds on a Saturday night, they certainly aren't at Sheilfield.

Like him or loathe him but speedway will be a duller place when Pedersen hangs up his kevlars.

Best of luck to Garcia at Berwick, its a big gamble to bring in a brand new rider at this time but if other riders couldn't or wouldn't come there the club were left with very little option than to look a someone new, though its fair to say most of us thought it would be someone with a least a track record in European racing at least. So we have a replacement for Stichaur, hopefully now the club will look to get back to a seven man team asap, be it Barker and Vissing returning or new riders.

Excellent news, I will look forward to having a catch up with your imaginary friend.

Rocky will have forgotten more about speedway than our self important friend will ever know. Hopefully Rocky will be back to full health asap and get back to the racing.
