Bandit59 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 There is football. But it is listed for 2pm so should end before 4pm. Sure I read somewhere they did not want any speedway traffic coming in until 4pm Cheers Well I'm looking forward to my first visit to Shielfield Park, hope the weather holds. Berwick have as much right to hold the meeting as any other track in the country. Now what are the Burgers/Chips etc like? THE BEST you will not be dissappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want it to set the updates page up, but if no-one knows it looks like I'll have to add the line-up on Saturday. Not long now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcelle I like the burgers at Berwick but the hidden food gem hides on the fourth turn.... the pie shop. The pies are worth the trip alone. Not sure if the pie shop will be there this season... fingers crossed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjm Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 http://www.srbf.co.uk/news/130305.html Of all the riders in the Ben Fund Bonanza this Saturday, the eyes of Berwick fans will probably alight as much on their Aussie star Kozza Smith as anyone else because he is a such a key man for the Bandits this year. He missed the whole of the British season in 2012 but is typically upbeat about prospects for the coming season. He said "I'm just in the process of getting the bikes sorted out to make sure I am ready. "I did a bit of racing back home though I had another operation to get the rod out of my leg. The leg feels a lot better but I just need the laps on the bike now. "I've had a fair bit from the Ben Fund after some of the injuries I've had in the past so it's only right that I ride in their meeting." Glasgow will be represented by James Grieves as long as James gets the all-clear from a hospital visit this week. His problem is kidney stones and it could be that he will need to have an operation to clear them up before the start of the Tigers' season. Definitely in the event are Morten Risager (Ipswich), Kyle Howarth (Workington) and Steve Worrall (Newcastle) The Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund organisers wish to thank the Stadium Landlords, Berwick Rangers FC Supporters Club for their very generous concessionary rental charges for the meeting. Meanwhile, SRBF Secretary Paul Ackroyd has issued a "Travel Advice" for those fans attending the Ben Fund Bonanza on Saturday. Paul commented "Berwick Rangers have kindly agreed to bring forward there Irn-Bru Scottish Third Division fixture with Montrose - with kick-off scheduled for 2.00pm. We are hoping for the Stadium and Car Park to be cleared by around 4.00pm. We would urge fans who are not attending the football match to try to arrive at the stadium no earlier than 4.30pm to avoid traffic congestion in the area. Gates for the Ben Fund Bonanza are scheduled to open at 5.00pm, with the meeting due to start at 6.30pm". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 What time do the gates open ?Know it says starts 6 30 i presume its 5 00 and theres no footy on 5pm it is,though the Ben Fund organisers are asking speedway attenders not to go into the car park before 4-30pm to let the football crowd out. I want it to set the updates page up, but if no-one knows it looks like I'll have to add the line-up on Saturday. Not long now! Hopefully that might appear in this weeks Speedway Star,if not Im sure it will be on the Berwick or Ben Fund site sometime between now and saturday evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the football being at home that afternoon Im not sure they will be for this meeting,though on the positive side I havent heard that they arent. Weathers been good in Berwick for the last few days,infact we`ve had good weather for a while now,with not much rain to speak of.Hopefully it will stay that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTLAND1314 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Quite a good balanced field. Probably about 7 riders capable of winning, and you just never know with the rest. Looking forward to this one. I hope the 2013 weather gods give us all a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
