Phil The Ace 2,860 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSC67 1,465 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halifaxtiger 5,318 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMessiahOfTheBSF 84 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
