topsoil 2,498 Posted December 6, 2017 Some interesting words from Kevin Doolan on the BSPA website “The management at Berwick are building something special. They have got everyone pulling in the right direction, they need to look at five years down the line and improve gradually.“There’s no point trying to win everything and ruin the business in one year. We already have Aaron, David and myself signed up and that’s the basis of a decent side. I love racing at Berwick and I know I can always improve, that’s the target.” Given that most speedway clubs live week to week and hand to mouth, it would be great to think that we have a promotion who are in it for the long haul and are looking to build a sustainable model, which in this day and age will be a bloody hard task. A little bit of security and a commitment to the future is a huge boost to a fan base. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well to be fair they did run the club for about five years, must admit I don't know exactly how many, but couldn't make it pay. They did bring a lot to the club though, FIM meetings, Ben Fund meetings, Sky meetings, all during their reign. Unfortunately it didn't work out and they had huge losses. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They did improve the Clubs profile and done well in PR department, but they could not hold onto the fans after a good start,they had terrible luck with injuries with Top riders they signed which did not help the situation.Behind they scenes all was not rosy though.The sport is in trouble and it is along way back for most clubs IMO . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
