George Dodds Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) taken from the club's Facebook feed BANDITS SUPER SATURDAY | All you need to know... Here’s a run down of information for this Saturday night’s double header at Shielfield Park Stadium! We will be running free entry competitions so stay tuned every day this week for your chance to be part of one of the biggest nights of Speedway at Shielfield Park Stadium. Gates open at 5:30pm and Heat 1 is scheduled for 6:30pm. Admission for the evening will be £30 for adults, £25 for concessions and children under 16 accompanied by an adult will enter free of charge! Holders of the 15 match season pass who have attended all fixtures up to that date will need to pay £15 (£12.50 concessions) at the Box Office entrance as the Edinburgh fixture is the 15th and final meeting covered by the deal with the Glasgow meeting the 16th of the year. Anyone with a pass who has not attended one or more meetings ( U21 Final not covered by season pass) will be able to use their pass for both meetings. Attendance has been collated at the Box office on a meeting by meeting basis throughout the season. In addition anyone with re-admission tickets from the original rain-offs will be able to use them against the cost of general admission to the tune of the face value ticket. That means holders of a readmission ticket from the Edinburgh meeting- our special everyone for a tenner promotion- will get £10 off the double header, those with tickets from the Glasgow washout will get £17 off. A special edition programme will be on sale at £3. Anyone requesting more admission information or any general enquiries are encouraged to email the club at club@berwickspeedway.com We won’t be answering questions on the Facebook comments thread so please use the official email address supplied Spread the word folks and let’s see Shielfield Park Stadium buzzing on Saturday! Anyone wanting to make a day of it there's the Berwick Food and Beer Festival on the Parade, cafes and pubs galore, Berwick Rugby Club face Howe of Fife at Scremerston in the Tennants National League 3 (kick-off 3pm) or Tweedmouth Rangers entertain Coldstream in the East of Scotland football league at Old Shielfield (behind the back straight) at 2.30pm. One thing to note, especially visiting fans, all turnstiles are CASH ONLY Edited September 2, 2019 by George Dodds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness to them this was originally a reserved date so when they agreed the fairground there was no speedway or football planned for the day. Without the football it is a little easier to get control of the rest of the parking areas earlier than last week and there will be plenty of secure space for riders and spectators. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair (no pun) Slaters are there same time in September every year, irrespective that speedway is on. It rarely if at any time causes disruption, unless Ben Barker is riding who would rather be on the rides, a bit more exciting for him than speedway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Looking forward to this, hopefully the weather plays ball and we see all thirty races. Glasgow always bring a massive support so hopefully the fans of Edinburgh will join us come Saturday to give Shielfields its biggest attendance in years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) Recent meetings have run very smoothly, despite crashes and collections. Adjustments in the pits have allowed easier in-and-out traffic, and the staff there are very experienced. There shouldn't be any rider-replacements, and Mr McGregor will be intending to push things along from his box. The prospect has to be for a great night, with both sets of visiting fans cheering on the Bandits in at least one of the matches!

The Edinburgh fixture was the original one on this date, hence the additional match is always added as the second. Obviously the Bandits hope there will be a sizeable support from both visiting clubs -- each ready to cheer on the home side against each other!

Turnstiles will re-open in the interval between meetings. We estimate (OK we're guessing!!) the Glasgow match will start around 8pm. There has to be a 20 minute break between the end of Edinburgh and the Tigers (to allow preparations for the away side) so gates re-opening around 7.40 (probably, hopefully!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
