A promotion going places? A few weeks back they had us believe they were going one way, and it wasn't forward. If a whole speedway team is run relying on one sponsor, I don't hold out much hope for them - Newport comes to mind putting all their eggs in one basket and relying on one income which all went ** up.

 

And riders signing for Berwick because they host major meetings? Give over, what difference does it make to them, they aren't going to compete in them anyway so it's all irrelevant.

 

Takes your rosé tinted specs off and don't be so biased for once in your life.

 

In my experience (which based upon your signature is a great deal more than yours) no track has upped its game in the last few years more than Berwick.

Granted my signature is probably a long time out of date and needs to be updated or removed. I rarely use this forum other than on my phone where signatures don't get displayed which have something to do with it - so that point again, is also irrelevant.

 

I refer back to another point made, but it's well publicised Robin Aspegren would rather be elsewhere than Berwick but due to flights in and out of the country, it doesn't allow it.

:lol: Still bitter he ain't at Somerset I take it? I'm sure if another club had approached Robin and he wanted to go then arrangements could have been made to accommodate his flights! Maybe, just maybe he is happy to be back with us!

Riders go where their offered the best deals its as simple as that, anyone who thinks they chose their club because of "the benefits" are wrong.

 

You can be sure the SRBF meeting was sod all to do with any rider signing for Berwick.... otherwise you'd have the likes of Harris, Barker, Korneliussen etc on the phone to Anderson begging for a team place. Although I am sure the Berwick PR guru will find a paragraph or two stating they'd love to ride there if it was an EL club!

 

There is no doubt the Andersons have made Berwick a more attractive place to ride since Waite's reign but like the Malletts with Newport, are the crowds any better or even as good as when the previous promoter was in charge?

Maybe he is, I haven't doubted that. But it's been well muted he's at Berwick because of convience of coming in and going out of the country.

 

We're very happy with our team down here in Somerset... You don't get called league favourites for nothing ;)

I refer to the AA Road Atlas 2013 which includes in some detail the road system in this country.

 

It was this network that allowed, amongst many others, both Bedermark & Lindgren to ride for Newcastle while regularly flying in and out if Stansted.

 

Maybe he just didn't fancy the country lanes of Scrumpyland with its slack jawed yokels holding things up, chugging along on their tractors.

They wouldn't have reduced the admission price towards the end of the season if crowd levels were decent

Who's the team manager for next season. I can't remember if it's been announced yet. Also what do we think of the new bonus system for next year. Is it just a cost cutting exersize, or will it do anything for the racing. Will it make team mates ride harder for 2nd place with there being no bones point for 3rd ?.

I cant see it doing anything for team riding at all.
