balderdash&piffle 720 Posted September 24, 2016 Yeah, Scott was a real breath of fresh air this season. I lot of the steps forward were his forward thinking. I do hope whoever takes over, they keep Scott on board, alongside Dennis Mcleary, anyone else can be replaced. I don't always agree with Scott, but he is open to someone else's opinion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,057 Posted September 24, 2016 In this case it seems to be a rumour from all parts of the speedway world, I really don't know if it is true or not. A new approach would be welcome, it's why I do support Scott Courtneys approach, however, he can only work within the constraints placed upon him. A new owner may well bring in his own manger which I hope doesn't happen as IMO Scott did enough this season to be kept in his job.

Fair to say if it wasn't for likes of Dennis Berwick Speedway probably wouldn't be here today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair to say if it wasn't for likes of Dennis Berwick Speedway probably wouldn't be here today. Those pair do a hell of a lot of work behind the scenes that goes unrecognised. I only hope that any new owner, whoever he may be, i've never heard any rumours, keeps these people on board and also gets the supporters club back involved. There was a lot of good work done last year on the commercial side of things, the hospitality suite was used nearly every week, let's build on that to put the club on a better footing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,363 Posted September 25, 2016 Dennis McCleary's contribution to Betwick Speedway is immeasurable and if anyone buys they club it is unthinkable that he will not still be still involved if he still wants to contribute, his knowledge and local contacts and work behind the scenes are vital IMO . 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tweedcider 75 Posted September 25, 2016 Totally agree, but deeply concerned that as he rapidly approaches 70, neither football or speesway seem to be training up a successor. Without Dennis there would be no activity at Shielfield Park 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Without Dennis there would be no activity at Shielfield Park As I posted yesterday if Rathbone is to be the new owner he may well have someone already that will run Berwick Speedway day to day, but it is also true that there are many people already at the club who do a valuable job, largely for little reward, who will still be there whoever takes over.

Tsunami 10,219 Posted September 26, 2016 If you had to put a value on Dennis, you would not be able to afford him. Yes. I wouldn't be surprised if the landlords didn't insist on him being employed, or within a future promotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
