o mg bandits win at home well done :party:

 

C'mon pal, it wasn't that long ago you were posting on FB, about getting reduced (or free) admission if you had the original programme (which you had), when the opposition hadn't met at Berwick since back in the day.

 

Did you go tonight? If not, well some of us haven't seen our team for nearly three months now....and thats not through choice!

 

But i'll tell you one thing, after the rain off about a month ago in Glasgow. I got my days off changed again, when the re-staging date was announced. I can't wait to see my team in action again tomorrow, win or lose. But i'll be with fab friends from both sides, and having a great time! :cheers:

Anyone know why Micky Dyer wasnt out in ht 14 , IMOH not using him in hts 11 &14 is what cost us a point .

I agree should have used Micky in either maybe he was still sore from his falls onThursday and Friday iwas just saying before heat 15 all we need is a 3 3 with Seb on gate 4 was very hopeful thought Nick M might have been out in heat 15

Berwick are happy with the win and the Newcastle fans went home happy after a great 5-1 in heat 15 which got us an all important point We will take max points tonight against Plymouth So I think it will have been a good weekends work for the Diamonds come 9pm tonight.

 

I enjoyed my trip to Berwick, the crowd looked quite big, the track was fair and there was plenty of passing (mainly Bandits doing it :-(

 

good luck with crowd next week

I dont know what the crowd was like, a lot of empty seats in the main stand, so probably a normal attendance. For once in a long while I enjoyed the meeting, some good racing with some passing, at last as it has been a while. I am really glad they scraped alot of that loose shale off the outside, which was the primary cause of no passing.It took the promotion long enough for it to realise how badly they were preparing the track, so well done, a tad late, but better than nothing. Remember to keep it that way.

Well, so much for your estimations! John Anderson's notes in programme said Edinburgh match (the first £10 offer) was biggest attendance of the season (this would be outwith the FIM event, obviously) and I was told by a good and reliable source in the Black & Gold after the match that last night's attendance was actually just a little better than the week before.

 

From the back straight, I did comment the stand did look a little less-full. But my palswho sit in the stand told me the back straight crowd (drawn by the sunshine there, maybe?) was much bigger than for Edinburgh.

 

So the two biggest crowds of the year are enticed by the £10 deal, and it is on again next Saturday for Ipswich.

 

But without a large visiting support this time, it will be locals who make or break the promotion's promise to keep prices down if crowds stay up.

 

For us regulars, it make sound commercial sence to try and spread the word around the area during the coming week. So far, it seems to be working!
