bigeddiechek Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 As far as I can recall, everything has been taken down and it has reverted to farmland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkbandit Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 What stands on the old Berwick track at Berrington these days is it back to being just a field again or has something been built on it , remember it being on back roads off the A1 I think then down some country roads. Â Â I visited again before the TV meeting last season and there's nothing left. There's four photos in the middle of this album that i took that day. You can see the difference in colour of the old centre green grass and what's been planted on the old track. It was very eerie being there that day. A strange feeling. My childhood memories will never fade though. Â https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipPmwF05FaaogKZ_J7-norC3G2hZX2BBVa3r7otM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobydoo Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) That year Eastbourne didn't know what had hit it 80 odd mad Bandit fans walking along the front at 8am looking for breakfast I think a few of the oldies nearly died Went to Eastie watching Peterborough mid 80s coach dropped everyone off on sea front to get some food as the guys all piled off two topless sunbathers were quickly spotted on the beach needless to say they soon attracted an audience , one guy went paddling with his expensive camera round his neck he fell as expected and the camera never worked again, after another thrashing for the Panthers on the tight arlington track many said the biggest t*ts they had seen that day were unfortunately those on the track in white and yellow black dont get days out on a coach like that anymore.
