Leon finished with 10pts last night so just missed out on a podium place. Meeting was won by Drew Kemp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin helped Swindon to a big away win at Ipswich scoring 2pts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Kevin had also been booked by Glasgow to replace the suspended Claus Vissing at Ashfield tonight, but this meeting has now been postponed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks123 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Just looking at the fixture list on the BSPA site and it has Berwick racing a double header with Glasgow and Edinburgh on 7th September. When is the cut off date for fixtures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say the double header is on the BSPA site, but it doesn't look like the Berwick site has been updated, for example there is no preview of tomorrows meeting with Eastbourne. I`m sure it will be updated very soon with the Eastbourne preview and the fixture update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeyin Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 A double header with Edinburgh and Glasgow should bring a huge crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berwick has a curfew, racing between 6.30 and 9.30, most weeks there is a struggle to get one meeting within the curfew, let alone 2 meetings. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normski Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 To be honest the last few home meetings have been done and dusted by 8-15pm - 8-30pm. Maybe a word with the council, for a bit leeway with the curfew would solve the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 When was the last double header run at Berwick? I remember 2004 against Reading and Hull: The latter only ran until Heat 12 if memory serves me correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterborough 2017 is the last time I can remember a main meeting which went anywhere near the curfew. But a delay-free first meeting without rider-replacement and a referee with an itchy two minute trigger finger would be welcomed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger than normal I would say.1/2 a normal previous seasons worth of fixtures and we still struggle to complete before deadline,what a shambles the sport has become.
