It could be one of the great nights of speedway. But, people on here are right - I should instead be worried in case I'm crushed by a collapsing stack of mushy peas or poleaxed by a Prossecco cork worked loose by Northumberland's first-ever magnitude eight earthquake tomorrow morning, waking up as a Sunderland supporter and voting Conservative so I'll just concentrate on listing all the things that might go wrong rather concentrating on what is likely to go right. The sun's shining now ... but it'll probably go dark soon, might even be hit by a Tsunami. Right, I'm off for a pint with my mate Eeyore - at least he sometimes looks on the bright side.

It will be a fabulous night if not for the banter between Edinburgh and Glasgow fans We should have Edinburgh fans cheering Berwick in the Glasgow match and Glasgow cheering in the Edinburgh match not going to worry about curfews and delays what will be will be 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip Tigers and Monarchs on the same night finish the season with a bang. Just imagine if it had been Eastbourne and Glasgow double header lol. SAS officers in the pits , Helicopter hovering over stadium, Tyson Fury in the pits with Cookie lol. Little Billy and his red flag surrounded by armed guards lol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 If the curfew lets racing start at 6-30pm then you would think this double header will start at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekimba Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Pricing will be interesting as this is the rearranged Edinburgh £10.00 match and the re entry tickets are still valid.And I can’t believe I am in Turkey on that date, anyone wanting 2 re entry tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Might the organisers -- the Supporters Club, I understand -- set up a sales point inside the stadium on race nights, explaining about, advising on and selling numbers for the new 5-1 scheme? More likely to catch interest before and during matches from regular, but non-involved, spectators than requiring they visit the Black and Gold after racing.......

Would be better if Jamie explained what was happening with the scheme over the PA when there are no tractors etc. He could then advise that there is a table (or otherwise) set up and any interested parties can speak to an organiser to set up their number(s). The spectators then get the same information and you could possibly process more applications (as you could have to keep repeating yourself if more people come to the table at different times). Maybe it could be put on the home page or be a news item on the website as people on here have said lots don't use social media (only look at the website for match previews etc). Either way lets hope all numbers are taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way lets hope all numbers are taken. 50% of numbers away since Saturday announcement. I was on Centre Green and could not hear much think people in main stand heard it. Supporters Club Committee stand on 3rd Bend but hopefully get something in place for Saturday night. Bank Account in place for Direct Debit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 A genuine question to regular Berwick posters on here: how many of us have taken a 5-1 number in the new fundraising scheme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
