Robinh88 Posted September 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) No I wouldn't, some fans want to win by as many points as possible though. Promoters luckily as buisnessman would possibly rather win 46-44, its not about winning and losing its about surviving from one week too another gettign as many through the gate as possible Edited September 21, 2012 by RobinH88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeddiechek Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) Crikey! So, when we were getting beat at home some Bandits posters are shouting that it is not good enough and that crowds are falling because of this. Now some of that same are saying that it is more economically viable to be less competitive at home. This really backs-up that most of the stuff posted on here is nonsense. The sad reality, as mentioned on this thread, is that British Speedway is on a shoogely peg. There really is only one bottom line when it comes to it surviving and that is for the fans to turn out in numbers. It is expensive, but a number of Promotions have slashed their prices and made it much more affordable. Let's not be sitting here in 12 months' time wishing we had not gloated about low crowds, and being expert armchair promoters: because there is no use coming on here and attempting to talk authoritatively, but not dipping into our pockets to go through the turnstiles every meeting that we can make it to. It is beyond belief that being positive about our club being run very, very well is seen as "brown nosing". That type of comment is immature, missing intelligent thought, and borne out of insecurity. Fans throughout the sport need to step up to the mark the rest of this season, and next season, or we'll really have something to greet about.

At least theyve got fans like you willing to give them 20 quid every week, with fans like that, they cant go wrong can they. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairplay1 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I see its still reduced admission for our next two matches. It really is now time to get that mate to come along to the speedway. I know the lad next to my daughter who started going with his young lad a few weeks back was saying to me last night he did not have a clue what to do this Saturday night since he has no Speedway to go to. I know I have said it before and been shot down by certain forum members as an arse licker but these people in charge at Berwick really do care about the supporters. They have put their hard earned money into this. Now its our turn to try and help out by bringing a mate and tell that mate to bring his kids remember they go FREE bring two mates if you can. This promotion have turned Berwick Speedway into a club we can all be proud of. Everyone wants success but success comes at a price and we the supporters have to pay our share of that price by turning up and spreading the word. Speedway is struggling all over the country that is why supporters not only from Berwick but all over need to do their bit. I know I would not like to be a Workington supporter at this time but heres hopeing they can pull things around. I know we have rivalry with our local clubs but we need them and they need us every bit as much. I await the usual name calling .but I hope not as we all need to pull in the same direction... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would have thought we would be agreeing a few years back! This is absolutely spot on. The Promotion have put a lot of money into Berwick Speedway, delivered us our first trophy for 10 years, and greatly improved the club. It's time for folk who whinge to show if they actually support the club, or are just insecure, insignificant little people who come on here to try and feel just that little bit more important in life. If they do go every week that they can and spend their money, then they are very important, and - as you point out - are really valued by the Promotion which has shown great goodwill by slashing prices over several meetings now. Time to step up and show your our true support. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigeddiechek Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Is this aimed at Wjm?? Lol He's stood with us on the 3rd bend plenty of times this year. He goes to every meeting that he is able to: so, not to your answer. It is aimed at people who choose not to go, and those who revel in low crowd numbers. Of course it is their choice. If they are not happy, either do something about it, or don't come on here and whinge. You can't call yourself a supporter if you do not support your club, irrespective of what relationship you have with the owners. A recent example of how to support your team through good and bad is - it pains me to say - all the Rangers fans who are still turning out to support their club, even though the guys in charge have royally (no pun intended) screwed them and their club. Speedway fans seem incapable of doing that and, sadly, I can't see the support surviving in this country unless they change. At Berwick we have had brilliant people take over the club, yet people still find things to complaint about, and people who support their club get accused of brown nosing. It makes no sense at all. They then hide behind pathetic excuses like "I pay my money, so I have a right to complain". Sorry, but if you don't like something, yet keep paying for it, then you are rather dull. Watch the telly then write in to Points of View. It doesn't cost anything, and you will get plenty of things to greet about, you might get your complaint published, so you will get the opportunity to feel important too. If you are a stay away by choice, then you are not a supporter, and can't be counted upon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You told us the other week you would be willing to pay upto £20 for a Berwick meeting, remember? With fans with your dedication who never miss a match home or away, and are massive fans of John and the boys, Berwick will be fine. Oh, and you always bring new pals along dont you, all hail Eddie.

bigeddiechek Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I plead insecure. Me too, that's how I sniff them out. I know what it is like I didn't have you picked out as insecure though, Screm. We've agreed on most things, other than Lee Complin this season. Now that is progress! At least theyve got fans like you willing to give them 20 quid every week, with fans like that, they cant go wrong can they. What was hard to understand about my comment big lad? You told us the other week you would be willing to pay upto £20 for a Berwick meeting, remember? With fans with your dedication who never miss a match home or away, and are massive fans of John and the boys, Berwick will be fine. Oh, and you always bring new pals along dont you, all hail Eddie. (saviour) OK, you are obviously a bit too simple to think more deeply about what you post. You know that I'd be happy to pay £20 a meeting. So what, other than to remind me of that, was the point of your post? I go to every meeting that I can, that is not every meeting. I bring mates when I can (something you will find impossible to fathom), and I am grateful for everyone who has been involved in running that club since Peter stepped-aside. We mustn't forget Lynda Waite who was instrumental in saving the club at that point too. I'm grateful for all these people who put considerable money, considerable time, and considerable effort into keeping the club alive. Your comments towards the club are childish, thick, and reek of someone who thought they were special, then had the hammer of reality dropped on them. You might note that I was also a big supporter of Peter Waite; for all his idiosyncrasies, he kept the club running for 10 years and delivered a major trophy. Fairplay1 had a (legitimate) quibble with Peter, and was negative to him on here. However, he had the balls to drop me a message and give me his reasons. It was quite understandable and I stopped having a war of words on here with him, and we ended up respecting each other's points of view. Do you have the bottle to explain (in private, or public) what your quibble is? Piece in the programme next year for Mr Chek? if he's not swamping in the 5star lavatories or stuffing his grid with John's finest Alex Edberg seems to be riding again, hmmmm No7? Hoy! Come on, if you're going to pick holes in my post, don't pick on the toilet ones! I think Alex should be our number 7 next year. Not just because he deserves it, but because he was starting to score very heavily before yet another unfortunate accident. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit59 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Could any Bandits fans post local weather for me please after 6 pm as i am coming down from Scotland to Newcastle airport at mid night and am worried about the forecast thanks in advance.

bigeddiechek Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Who really cares about form away from home? Let's face it, Gjedde was pretty good at away fixtures -- so indeed was Willie Lawson. To put on an entertaining, thrilling show for locally-based spectators every week you need home-track excitement. For which purpose Lee Complin ticks all the boxes. I would say that the majority of people do care about away results, Steve, but I agree home entertainment is by far top of the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
