My impression of Berwick from stuff I ve see and when I ve been doing the updates etc is that it's very much gate and go, which is a shame. Why not use common sense and run on a Sunday so that these kids don't have to take another day off of school and parents another day of work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Normski 1,315 Posted April 9, 2018 Lot of tracks are gate and go even Glasgow lol. Racing improved last year at Berwick, it is one of them tracks where if your crown jewels are big enough you can pass. To be honest some of the best racing came from Stars of Tomorrow meeting with young guys giving 100%. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To run on an alternative night would require seeking special permission from the council. As I say no statement of fact, but just my understanding of the situation.

CUFC_Brummie 132 Posted April 9, 2018 This was the last approved planning application seemingly (although there was one at a later date that was withdrawn, looks like there was a bit on there about racenights but it was removed): https://eplanning.birmingham.gov.uk/Northgate/PlanningExplorer/Generic/StdDetails.aspx?PT=Planning Applications On-Line&TYPE=PL/PlanningPK.xml&PARAM0=493062&XSLT=/Northgate/PlanningExplorer/SiteFiles/Skins/Birmingham/xslt/PL/PLDetails.xslt&FT=Planning Application Details&PUBLIC=Y&XMLSIDE=/Northgate/PlanningExplorer/SiteFiles/Skins/Birmingham/Menus/PL.xml&DAURI=PLANNING Quote Variation of conditions 12 & 13 attached to planning application approval 2010/02985/PA to allow the occasional holding of Monday evening speedway races due to televising contractual requirements (with no Wednesday or Thursday race meetings in the same week that a monday meeting is held) With one before that in 2010 stating: Quote Continued additional use of stadium for speedway racing on a permanent basis; on weekdays either on Wednesdays or Thursdays (but not both days in any one racing season) with alternative weekday race days due to weather related cancellations on Thursdays (but not both days in any one racing season). Looks like an oversight from our promotion sadly, very disappointing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Argos 262 Posted April 9, 2018 Well that’s it then,Not the council fault, not the BSPA fault, pure and simple lack of experience of the Promoters of Birmingham, I always thought there was something amiss with this “Provisional” date, No wonder there Press Statement said “The Promotion will not be making any further comment on the matter” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
