Berwick V Peterborough (on Sky) Wed, July 8th


Recommended Posts

We have had some rain in Berwick overnight and it remains cloudy right now, forecast is for any cloud to clear over the next few hours to leave a dry day. It will be cooler than of late.

 

Whatever team Peterborough and for that matter Berwick are turning up with I hope tonight's meeting is a good advert for Berwick Speedway,Peterborough Speedway, PL speedway and speedway racing in general, and lets face it, right now it needs all the help it can get.

Just from being in the town centre at dinner time the past couple of days, I've noticed it's been busy with tourists, now the Scottish school holidays have started. Not a hell of a lot else to do in Berwick on a Wednesday night, could have been an opportunity for somebody from the club to get over to the town centre today and spread the word about the meeting tonight.

Peterborough Panthers supremo :rofl: Ged Rathbone insists his team will not surrender their unbeaten Premier League away record without a fight tonight (July 8)

The city racers make their second television appearance in the space of a fortnight when travelling to face a Berwick Bandits side yet to slip up at home.

 

It means something is likely to give in front of the Sky Sports cameras on a night when victory would see Panthers return to the top of the table.

They face a tough task though due to the absence of three riders. Captain Ulrich Ostergaard, red-hot Michael Palm Toft and new recruit Emil Grondal are all missing due to fixtures in their native Denmark.

Newcastle man Steve Worrall and Redcar ace Adam Roynon, who had been set to race for the club on a regular basis this season until injured on the opening day of the campaign, step in with the rider replacement facility also in operation.

Rathbone said: “It is an honour for the club to appear on Sky again.

“Of course it is not ideal to have three riders missing, but we have drafted in a couple of very capable guests and I am confident we can give a very good account of ourselves.

“We will be treating this meeting in exactly the same way as we treat all others. We are going there to win and continue our fine away record.”

Berwick have won four of their five home league meetings to date. They were recently held to a draw by a Plymouth side who have also won at the Showground.

They turn to a Devils man to step in at number one tonight with former Panthers ace Ryan Fisher deputising for the injured Ben Barker.

Berwick are also missing one of their two Danish riders with Claus Vissing – another ex-Peterborough man - racing in his homeland. They use the rider replacement facility to cover his absence.

TEAMS

BERWICK: Ryan Fisher (guest), Fernando Garcia, Rider replacement for Claus Vissing, Thomas Jorgensen, Kevin Doolan, Alex Edberg, Richard Hall.

PANTHERS: Steve Worrall (guest), Rider replacement for Emil Grondal, Lewis Blackbird, Adam Roynon (guest), Robert Lambert, Rafal Kopnopka, Simon Lambert.

Have you ever considered that the people who run the club might just be busy with their day jobs?

In the hope that someone from Sky reads this thread, tonight's meeting is between Berwick and Peterborough, neither team has any affiliation with a certain Australian who has just served a ban. It would be much appreciated if all mention of him could be kept to the last few minutes of the broadcast when they advertise next Mondays meeting.

 

thanks in advance.

Doesn't have to be specifically either of the promoters, but they will have connections, friends, relatives, even employees, who could do the simple job of handing out flyers for an hour or so. If you want to do something you will find a way. This is a big chance for Berwick to showcase themselves to a wider audience. Getting as big a crowd as possible into the stadium would help that, influencing both prospective fans and sponsors.

Why don't you offer your services then?

It's not his job to, his job is to attend every week with his £, they should have someone already to do this sort of job but unfortunately they dont, no disrespect to Lani but she has a job as well as kids and therefore I feel as though there should be someone who just does this, like someone who is retired or someone with a lot of time on their hands who would be comitted to doing this
