Phil The Ace Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Wolves end of season talk in. CVS said they have/are applying for the premiership. I told y'all you will be surprised by a couple of teams coming up. Although apparently berwick cant race weekdays and kent can only do Monday with an half 6 start. So still question Mark's on them Edited October 20, 2019 by Phil The Ace 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSC67 Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 I doubt Berwick will be in a league without Glasgow. Edinburgh & Newcastle doesn't make finical sense , why would you lose your biggest crowds ? It dam near killed the club the last time and that was when there where good riders at elite level . 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Berwick public won’t like this. No local derbies, a probable increase in admission prices and the fact that the local council won’t allow regular midweek meetings. It’ll kill the club off 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifaxtiger Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 I had heard about Sheffield. I must admit I am more surprised by Berwick than Kent. Their nearest rivals will be Belle Vue, 200 miles away. Makes no sense at all - Shadders is bang on. Kent ride on Mondays, have a fantastic stadium and could pull in a few from Lakeside. Always a possibility. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMessiahOfTheBSF Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Berwick will end up folding after or during next season. Financial suicide. Kent have a curfew so that could cause problems. I still think Poole will end up running in the top flight next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a possibility. I can understand Sheffield, there has been many supporters who have wanted Thursday racing back, and this can only be achieved by moving up. Berwick have always run Saturday nights so that does not make any sense. Kent runs Mondays but have a very early curfew how is that going to work for TV. I will believe this when the announcement come form the clubs themselves, until then for me it is pure speculation from another Promoter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had an air ambulance in attendance, as the place is so remote. in 1991, Berwick joined the top division, signing Kelvin Tatum from Coventry, Richard Knight from Kings Lynn and Jimmy Nilsen from Swindon. The then promoter, a Liverpudlian called Terry, whose surname I cant recall, later served a prison sentence for fraud IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 Are Berwick changing counties too? Moving its town 200 miles or so south to become part of Lancashire or Yorkshire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where they'll ride though......local council and nimby's normally put blockers on any hope of that one in my life time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ORLOV Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Cannot see Berwick or Kent moving up with Berwick having to change its race night and not having its local meetings with the northern clubs. Nor Kent if they have to keep the curfew and continue to start at 6.30, especially if the clubs still get no say in rules etc for a period of time, which I could not see Len standing for.
