News from Bandits' HQ tonight:

POWERED BY!...
 
We are delighted to announce your new ‘Powered by’ sponsor for the 2020 season! 
Please welcome onboard Keenwood Karpets of South Road Wooler. 
 
Keenwood Karpets have backed the Bandits for a couple of seasons, and company directors Paul Wood and Gary Flint (your FTS Bandits team manager) have pledged their backing to the club for the upcoming season! 
 
Paul adds, 
 
‘We have backed the Bandits over the last few seasons and when the opportunity became available to take the ‘Powered by’ package, myself and Gary were very keen to commit. 
From a business perspective, the Bandits are the biggest professional sports team between Edinburgh and Newcastle and it makes great sense to us to associate our company with the club. 
The Bandits social media presence and website generate lots of traffic and is always professionally maintained and the awareness of the club in the local area is only going from strength to strength.’
 
Keenwood Karpets supply all types of flooring for your home and also your commercial environments. 
 
Pop along to the showroom at South Road in Wooler and check out a wide range of Carpets, Vinyls, LVT, Beds and Furniture all at the right prices. 
 
Stay tuned this week for even more sponsorship news and all of the latest from Bandit country as we look forward to an exciting 2020 season!

Work to start on the streamlined pitch this week,  so hope the weather is kind.

There is a realisation in the Football camp that they need the Speedway to survive for both sports to survive.

Pleasingly Courtney junior has the sense to see this too, shame the butcher didn’t.

Berwick Rangers must need the speedway rent more than ever now they’re languishing in the non leagues. Can’t imagine football attendances average much above 500

Half it at least I think... they wasn’t getting 500 in League 2 I don’t think

A couple of weeks ago, the average so far for the season was 334. This included a couple of cup matches at the start of the season against higher league opposition which got 5-600. League matches have been getting 250-300.

Surprise what can happen with a little bit of common sense.

To be honest both clubs need each other to survive and it's also good that Shielfield is used pretty much all year round
