SpeedwayAce Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Hi, thinking of making the trip up to Berwick for this one. Not sure what he weather forecast will be for the weekend, but not expecting any great improvement. I've looked on the various websites but can't see any mention of when the meeting will be re-run if rained off. Is anyone aware of when it might be?

jrs Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Hi, thinking of making the trip up to Berwick for this one. Not sure what he weather forecast will be for the weekend, but not expecting any great improvement. I've looked on the various websites but can't see any mention of when the meeting will be re-run if rained off. Is anyone aware of when it might be?  Met Office forecast at the moment is for a mainly dry cloudy cool week. Best keep an eye on this link as the week progresses  http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/ne/berwick_upon_tweed_forecast_weather.html  There have been applications to the council about permission for adhoc rain-off reruns of meetings but I haven't read anything locally about the final outcome, though I believe the Council were recommending the changes.

crescent girl Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 Promotion have been working at Shielfield all week, both on track and in polishing up an already-smart stadium. Â Extra turnstiles will be opened on back straight to help get folk in. Coaches will be parked in special auxilliary area behind stadium, not to be taken into main car-park. Â Huge buzz in area about the meeting now, especially since good piece broadcast on Look North (BBC1) last night at 6.30, with great shots of stadium yesterday, plus bright interview stuff. Â All we need is the weather to hold up for three short hours on Saturday evening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That minibus of people coming up will be thankful they can park the bus and that there will be no queues as they fight the 700 other people to get in!

crescent girl Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 BSPA website reports covers have been laid on bends to deflect rainfall onto grass. Â Even their sternest critics will have to praise the promotion for what is being done at Shielfield Park to stage this meeting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricca Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 putting covers on the bends is a great idea,but with the weather forcast for rain it might put a lot of fans off going to this meeting which would be a great shame after all the hard work that has been put in by the promotion to get this meeting lets hope the weather is not too bad and the fans turn up in great numbers and show their support to the berwick promotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
