With the weather at the minute it seems a bit strange but we will see later on, what happened to always expect the speedway to run, maybe finances cant afford another rain off.

Yes and no meeting next week

Dont think this is a new thing, always been financial problems at Berwick

Yep, nothing new, and no financial cushion to fall back on. 

Oh, for the big-city sponsors and the clout of a Trust like Edinburgh's giving their promotion over £100,000 since 2015 (to quote last night's programme).  

At Berwick, with only 10% of the population the city clubs around them enjoy in their catchment area, the various promotions have done wonders to keeping the club alive for fifty years.

It isn't just the low population, Berwick does not have the wealthy businesses to draw on either.  In the lat 10 years there seems to have been a problem with inclusiveness as well.

I thought that they changed that a couple of seasons ago and now you're only responsible for paying your own riders home or away ?
