Would staying at reserve be best for their progress! But that doesn't happen every year where you have riders of that calibre at reserve, if Belle Vue or Kings Lynn chose to they could put Bewley and Lambert into their top five and introduce another Under-21 rider at reserve. But to answer your question yes Lambert and Bewley could stay at reserve until they reached twenty two, and no I don`t think it be holding them back as they be betting extra races every week against top five riders and more time in the bikes.

Furthermore if Leon finishes as well as he started, does he stay with Berwick, potentially carrying the team or does he look elsewhere to maximize his development? Don't see any reason for Leon to leave Berwick unless he is racing full time in Prem & abroad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Realistically given how shambolic British Speedway is as a whole these days whereabouts would be dramatically more beneficial for his development? Are you suggesting a season at say Edinburgh or Newcastle to help him get the setup for Rybniks away fixture at Bydgoszcz next year? For me if he has serious ambitions of doing anything in the sport he should be using Lambert and Bewley as very recent inspirations and be attempting to follow in their footsteps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aye send him to Newcastle we will look after him and its not like we don't need the help... Honestly his Dad and Granddad will be able to give him all the advice he needs and to be fair Leon is a level headed kid I'm sure he will be able to make his own mind up as to where his future lies and what he needs to do and where he needs to go to best suit his career progression... Although two seasons at Brough for Rob Lambert didn't hurt now did they... just saying like... Regards THJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthegearbutnaeidea 1,734 Posted July 29, 2021 If I was him, I’d go to Edinburgh or Glasgow, still local enough, but much better clubs for rider progression/success and away from his home town safety blanket, although I hope he stays Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since Steve Lawson went up to Glasgow to iron out the big dipper into bend 3 and the other minor gremlins Glasgow now have a strip they can be rightly proud of... it wasn't a bad track to start with per se however that little extra TLC put in by Steve has made it into one of the top half dozen tracks in the country at the minute IMHO... so maybe not offering the technical aspect that may be lacking in young Leon's repertoire...

Regards THJ My point was more if the lad hopes to go on and achieve anything meaningful within the sport that’s going to be in Poland. For me I therefore don’t see any great need to go to a more technical track. If he’s good enough he isn’t going to ride technical tracks at the top level. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diamonds85 698 Posted July 29, 2021 Hello. I'm planning on visiting Berwick this Saturday for the meeting Vs Glasgow. The email I have received about the etickets seem to suggest I need to print them off to show at the gate? Which I cannot do right now as I am away on holiday in the middle of nowhere Scotland. Is this the case? And have I just wasted £18 on tickets I won't be able to print out? OR can I just quote my reference number on the ticket and get in that way? OR use a QR code like a normal 21st century system speedway seems to have forgotten about? Thanks, Jack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
