The Sheffield line up may change in respect of where they use their r/r. Berwick`s David Bellego misses the meeting as he is away racing in the World Under-21 qualifying round in Germany, while Sheffield`s new signing Ty Proctor will be racing for his EL club at Eastbourne.

Do you think, there will be a big crowd as it's a Cup meeting only? Progression after this round is highly unlikely

 

Ideally I'll just pay at the gate

 

I`d consider camping out Friday night to make sure you get in, bonus is if it rains I`m sure our co-team manager can put you up.

Why is Stefan Nielson riding for Sheffield?

I'll be in the area this weekend so tempted to stop by for this... is it likely to be a good meeting?

 

You know that feeling when your at a Speedway meeting and you can’t predict the winner until the last bend? That is the level of excitement you will experience on Saturday night. Coupled with the electric atmosphere created by the home straight ultras it will be a Speedway meeting you and I will never forget.

 

Can’t wait for the Press release!!!

Yes!

 

It is worth going just to see Simon Stead around Berwick, he has always been excellent. The track really suits his style. As well as Stead guys like Compton and Lanham have been involved in some great races and moments of controversy over the years.

 

If Berwick can keep it to 8/10 on Thursday it should be a good meeting.

Bandits' website reports:

 

Berwick’s speedway Bandits, sponsored in 2014 by New Holland Agriculture, face a KO Cup double this week, travelling south to Sheffield on Thursday and returning to Shielfield Park on Saturday for the deciding (on aggregate) leg of the tie.

 

The winners of the tie will progress to the quarter-final stage, where they will meet the (currently) all-conquering Edinburgh Monarchs, the only team to have defeated the Bandits at home this season.

 

When the Bandits roll into Sheffield for the Thursday leg, they will find an unexpected face in the Tigers' ranks! In a rather surprising move, the new Sheffield promotion have released British starlet Adam Roynon and recruited Wolverhampton's Aussie Ty Proctor to come on board as his replacement.

 

Another rider who will be full of confidence in the Sheffield camp should be baby-faced Josh Bates, just turned eighteen and already the British U-21 Champion, having taken the title with a sterling display at Wolverhamption on April 15th.

 

It is hardly a surprise to find Josh in the Tigers’ team – his uncle Damien owns the Sheffield club! Damien heads the consortium which bought out long-term promoter Neil Machin over the winter months.

 

On Saturday, Bandits will be without Frenchman David Bellego, who has been recalled by his federation to contest a round of the World U-21 Championship at Stralsund, on the Baltic in the far north of Germany.

 

“David made his ambitions in both the World and European U-21 Championship very clear to us” explained Bandits’ co-manager George Hepburn. “We were aware of these justifiable ambitions when we agreed his contract earlier this year.

 

“This Saturday he will take his first step towards the World crown, racing at Stralsund. He goes with our club's best wishes and full approval.

 

“As a result, we will be using the rider-replacement regulation, with Matty Wethers, Matej Kus and the two reserves eligible to take his four races.

 

“As it happens, our opponents will also be using this regulation on Saturday, as new signing Ty Proctor will be skipping the fixture to ride for Elite League Wolverhampton at Eastbourne.”

 

Saturday’s teams:

 

Berwick: 1. Kevin Doolan, 2. David Bellego (Rider-replacement) 3. Matej Kus, 4. Matty Wethers (Captain), 5. Claus Vissing, 6. Liam Carr, 7. Steen Jensen.

 

Sheffield: 1. Simon Stead (captain), 2. Ty Proctor (Rider-replacement), 3. Andre Compton, 4. Taylor Poole, 5. Leigh Lanham, 6.Simon Nielsen, 7. Josh Bates.
