Backless Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Yeah, but that'll be OUTWITH their control :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRackBandit Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 What a ridiculous reply Backless, It may surprise you but not every Berwick fan on here has gripes with the promotion just because they don't constantly praise everything they do. Hate to inform you but I am satisfied with the way things are run, so no need to get so defensive. I was refering to the tag line on the Bspa website which informs the readers that this meeting will be taking place in Scotland. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 BSPA release (outwith Berwick's control, yes) can be read to infer Berwick is in Scotland -- but its close enough, does it really matter? Â Mr Buckowski has, I note, been re-instated at Peterborough. They must fancy him a bit, then. Â It's going to be a pretty good night, if we all relax, stop bickering and enjoy it. Â Hopefully, the BSPA as promoters will still allow Berwick's track-staff to run the show. They tell me Lakeside was pretty awful, with the fence unwashed and just looking like an "ordinary" meeting. Â One thing we know is that Shielfield will be ###### and span. Bring it on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Mr Buckowski has, I note, been re-instated at Peterborough. They must fancy him a bit, then. They also have Richard Lawson in their team but he's not super star! Claiming Buckowski is not special. He's a bit ordinary really. He'll probably be one of the better riders in the meeting but he won't get much further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 No Tai Woffinden,so Id guess as first reserve that Danny King will be promoted into the meeting. Â Why no Woffinden? I thought he was going to "tape it up and have a go"? His replacement would be nominated by Neil Middleditch, but must surely be Danny King. Who is next to assume a reserve slot -- Ashworth? Indeed, will Complin be fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGrasstrack Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Woffy is indeed not riding at Berwick according to: http://speedwaygp.com/news/article/1428/woffy-out-of-sgp-race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 In a way that's good news, hopefully means he will acceptance wildcat for next year's gp , which I believe he said he would decline if he missed out in qualifying   In a way that's good news, hopefully means he will accept the wildcard for next year's gp , which I believe he said he would decline if he missed out in qualifying  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch Me If You Can Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) The tag line for the event, "Come see the biggest event in the Borders and Scotland"  ..Whats the event got to do with Scotland? lol See it has been changed on the BSPA site! Simon says (clap your hands) Repeat  Replaced by the Panthers and dropped down to Poland's 2nd tier, yeah Krystof Buczkowski is really special. I'll tell you a couple of Top class riders who don't get dropped by there parent clubs or drop divisions mind one hasn't been to Berwick before so you probably wont have heard of him.  I do agree with WJM in the respect that there will be some intresting races.  Yes I did manage to make it too Queensway Medows last year and had a very enjoyable evening! Thanks for the offer.... Apologies RH I was having a bad day! You obviously are a Berwick fan but I just like to see fans getting behind the teams and in reality Berwick would have no say on line up. I will say though that I think Sundstrom and Buczkowski (think he is in their top flight in Poland again) have a lot of talent and hope the fans see it on 16 June but who knows.

Backless Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Hadn't thought of even passing by the BSPA "website", not being that taken with harking back to a place that time forgot, a bit like an online visit to Workington. Â It's a real multimedia experience, ain't it? Maybe the Speedway Star should sponsor it - when the regular spats about the value of the Star break out & its pointed out that everything is more immediate on t'Internet, the BSPA website could come to the defence of Caxton's Press! Â Still, Mr Russell's webmistress has certainly come up with a cracking tag line now: "biggest meeting in Berwick upon Tweed!" Phew! (Somebody tell them it's in Tweedmouth) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glycerol Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 JUNE 16th: THE LATEST INCLUDING DETAILS OF PRACTICE SESSION The field for the GP Challenge qualification event on June 16th – now less than three weeks away, is now known -- an intriguing mixture of established world-class names and almost-unknown quantities! Unfortunately, Wolverhampton’s Tai Woffinden has been forced to withdraw after sustaining a broken wrist, but his place will be taken by World Team Cup rider and Birmingham captain Danny King – who is the younger brother of Berwick favourite Jason King! In riding order, the international stars will line up: 1. Sam Masters (Australia), 2. Emiliano Sanchez (Argentina), 3. Krysztof Buckowski (Poland), 4. Chris ‘Bomber’ Harris (UK), 5.Guglielmo Franchetti (Italy), 6. Christian Hefenbrock (Germany), 7. Henry van der Steen (Netherlands), 8. Kenneth Hansen (Denmark), 9. Ryan Fisher (USA), 10.Matej Kus (Czech Republic), 11. Tero Aarnio (Finland), 12. Davey Watt (Australia), 13. Danny King (UK), 14. Linus Sundstrom (Sweden), 15. Facundo Albin (Argentina), 16. Kenny Ingalls (USA) The reserves on hand will be Lee Complin (who will now be first reserve) and a further British rider who will be nominated by GB Team Manager Neil Middleditch this weekend. If either (or both) should be called into action before the start, there is every possibility they could actually qualify from the event! Admission prices for June 16th – set by the BSPA, not Berwick Speedway will be pegged to a very reasonable (for such a high-quality event) £18 (adults), £12 (concession), £5 (children 5-16 years), and children under 5 free. A special souvenir programme (£4) will be produced by the BSPA. Full details of the Official Meeting Practice – to which the public will be admitted – have now been confirmed. Practice will take place between 11.30am and 1.30pm on Saturday 16th. Admission will be by a minimum donation of £2 (which will be entirely donated to the Lee Richardson Fund, aiding the family and dependants of the former British GP rider who tragically lost his life in a track crash in Poland last month). The Track Shop will be open during Practice, and spectators will be able to purchase Ceilidh tickets (see below) at this time. Gates wlll open at 11am. After Practice ends at 1.30pm, the stadium will be closed again until the turnstiles open at 5pm for the main event. AFTER THE BIG NIGHT: This will be a long, light night. After racing, a Ceilidh is being staged in the Black & Gold to welcome the international visitors. Remaining tickets will be on sale at the event from the Track Shop for just £6 – while they last! All money raised will be presented to the club’s Fence Fund. Please note admission to the entire Black and Gold hostelry will be by ticket only. The club has booked out both the bar and function suite. New Holland Agriculture are to be the event’s main sponsors, which yet another example of how this particular event has caught major companies’ attention – a very big international organisation backing a very big international event.
