He is it a stage where sentiment is launched right out of the window. He owes Berwick speedway nothing, most of his progression has been elsewhere, and with the support of Big Tony is all of his own doing. Even if that's Newcastle Regards THJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe need a new promoter before we can try and convince Leon to race for the Bandits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis McCleary will still be a promoter (unless any new owners get rid of him, which, in my opinion would be a mistake) and both Scott & Jamie have said they are attending the AGM, so they haven't handed in their promoters licences just yet, so time still to sign riders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, it is more uncertain this season but in the last few years Belle Vue, Leicester, Glasgow, Berwick, Workington, Sheffield, Peterborough, Isle of Wight, Birmingham & Plymouth have all had new owners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you buy one if you had the conkers, i know i wouldn't. It's equivalent to a one way ticket on the Titanic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 There`s a number of clubs up for sale at the minute, Poole, Peterborough etc, where there is an air of confidence and positivity about the future. I dont get that with this news, looks like an uncertain winter ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
