dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 Congratulations to Adam on his nomination - deserved recognition for a great start to his career. This sort of meeting will test his progress but more importantly will be a great learning experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyfivetoes Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Riding order (I presume) on Berwick website: 1 Artur Czaja (Poland), 2. Piotr Pawlicki (Poland), 3. Kacper Gomolski (Poland), 4. Vaclav Milik (Czech Republic), 5. Nichlas Porsing (Denmark), 6. Lasse Bjerre (Denmark), 7. Patryk Dudek (Poland), 8. Adam Strzelec (Poland), 9. Mikkel Michelsen (Denmark), 10. Adam Ellis (Great Britain), 11. Vladimir Borodulin (Russia), 12. Mikkel Bech (Denmark), 13. Bartosz Zmarzlik (Poland), 14. Kyle Howarth (Great Britain), 15. Nikolaj Jakobsen (Denmark), 16. Andzejs Lebedevs (Latvia), reserves: 17. Robert Branford (Great Britain) and 18. Ashley Morris (Great Britain). The presence of two young riders (Dudek and Bech) who have already been in World Cup-winning teams highlights the quality of the field. For the British contestants, the night will be a rewarding experience, giving riders such as Kyle Howarth and Adam Ellis invaluable experience for their continuing march up the ladder of international speedway success. “We have nominated Kyle and Adam to race at Berwick because they have already shown us how willing they are to move up to the highest levels of competition” explained GB’s U-21 coach Neil Vatcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) Berwick website also carries the following offers:- SPONSORSHIP AVAILABLE John Anderson, promoter of speedway at Berwick, has revealed that, although the event is being staged by the FIM and BSPA, his club are allowed to offer sponsorship opportunities for August 10th. “No big expenses are involved” he explained. “We will allow groups of fans, or local businesses, to sponsor each of the twenty races for only £50 – first twenty applications we receive get the nod!” “We can also put the name of any business concern who approaches us with a sensible offer – and again, we’re not talking big bucks – on the event itself, with logos and the like plastered all over the riders’ race-jackets. Simply, make us an offer!”. To sponsor a race, or indeed the entire World Final, applications must be tendered as quickly as possible to club@berwickbandits.co or by phoning directors John Anderson (07503-540236) or George Hepburn (07831-181089). However, as Mr Anderson is anxious to advise, time has to be of the essence. “When we have twenty heat sponsors, and a decent offer to back the meeting, that’s it – so don’t hang about, please. First come, first served!” Edited July 26, 2013 by crescent girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luluthetiger Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Two weeks to go for this one. Really looking forward to another big event in the north. If all the tracks get airfences for next year, will we see FIM moving the big dates around to different circuits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Adam Ellis was a good guest for Berwick last night, and will have a lot of support in the Final -- both as a Brit against the big guns, and because he proved popular with the border fans.

crescent girl Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I am asked by the club to post the following, which is also going on FB and newsletter, etc: Berwick promoter John Anderson has revealed that, although the event is being staged by the FIM and BSPA, the club are allowed to offer some limited sponsorship opportunities for the World U-21 Final on August 10th. All heat sponsorships were snapped up within 24 hours of being announced, but a remaining huge opportunity is sponsorship of the meeting race-jackets. “No big expenses are involved” he explained. “We will place the name of the first person, or company, or group to call us with a bid -- of just £500 -- on every rider's race-jacket, front and back, plus there will be a special jacket produced, signed by every competitor, which can be mounted and displayed on an office or living-room wall, and we'll throw in free hospitality for two people at the meeting -- all for just £500". "The only problem is that, by only getting the go-ahead to offer sponsorship at this late stage, we have a strict deadline for getting the race-jackets designed and produced, not to mention catching the printer's deadline for any programme coverage of the backing -- this offer has to reach us by tomorrow (Tuesday 30th) evening to gain full exposure for the sponsor!" "So, for race-jacket sponsorship, we invite a call -- to Lani Rae on 07779-227535 or George Hepburn on 07831-181089 or by e-mail to dick@berwickbandits.co and we promise that the first caller gets the done deal! "As the heat sponsorships were scooped up so quickly, we know the interest is out there. Don't be shy, and don't delay, you -- or your organisation -- can become a vital part of the biggest-ever night in the long, proud history of speedway in Berwick !" In addition, the club has a very limited number of places in their hospitality lounge for the big night, available for only £45 per head. To apply, contact lanir@me.com or phoning 07779-227535. However, as Mr Anderson is anxious to advise, time has to be of the essence. “When we announced the heat sponsorships, they were just scooped up so quickly. I'm sure it will be the same for the race-jackets. As for the hospitality packages -- don't hang about please. First come, first served!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyfivetoes Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Understand the Russian rider Vladimir Borodulin has withdrawn from meeting because of injury. Is there an automatic promotion from his qualifier, or another wild card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Potter 2 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Kyle Howarth and Adam Ellis will be the two wildcards,with Robert Branford and Ashley Morris the two reserves.

chopper Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 One meeting doesnt make a season. The 2 chosen have been consistently better than him. Exactly right decision they are both riding better at the moment although Robert was told that if there was a withdrawal he would move up into the meeting.

crescent girl Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 From Berwick website (BSPA don't seem to be plugging it much): It has been announced the general public will be permitted admittance to the FIM World Under-21 Final (round 2) practice session which is scheduled to tale place this Saturday (August 10th) commencing at 11.30am. There had been a worry that some safety regulations might prevent this (lack of stewarding, etc) but the club have the OK to let spectators in to watch. Gates for this session will be opened at 10.45am -- with attendees being requested to make a donation in aid of Ricky Ashworth. The session is expected to conclude within two hours after which the stadium will be cleared once more with the gates opening again for the main event at 5.00pm on the dot – tapes up as usual, at 7.00pm. It has also been announced that once again Berwick’s starting gate will be adorned by the girls who brightened up last season’s FIM Grand Prix Qualification meeting held at Shielfield Park.

luluthetiger Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Local interest gets a boost with Glasgow Tigers' Joe Jacobs being drafted into the line-up to replace the injured Ashley Morris as second reserve on the night. As well as his Glasgow followers, Joe often stays in the border area (with his manager Sean Courtney). Still no news on a replacement for the injured Russian, however.

Lady Bandit Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 If anyone collects Speedway stuff then the race jackets from this meeting will be auctioned afterwards at The Black and Gold club - just beside the stadium- after the meeting so pop in, it's a great way to round off the night.
