Like you say "some" will prefer to watch the Speedway but there will be a % who will stay away to watch the football. Would it not make sense to change start time to say 4pm or 5pm. Like Redcar did against Glasgow on Sun13th June to stop the clash with the England v Croatia match. Then "Sports Fans" get the best of both worlds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allthegearbutnaeidea 1,734 Posted June 30, 2021 Just call it off, Newcastle fans don’t want to travel to watch their crap team, and Berwick fans would rather watch Englands Q/F, there’s a spare weekend in a couple weeks from the Cardiff gap, the week after is NL only, could double header that, or if not, 4th September, all better options than this Saturday 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I think I said originally, Leon stays at reserve throughout July. The 4 x 4 thing is irrelevant, he's on a full rolling average, although this has risen impressively from (the minimum) 3.00 to 4.83 since the start of the season. However, as this is still below Coty (4.95) or Kasper (4.86) he remains as a reserve (Rising Star status won't protect him if he improves above a member of the 1-5) until at least July 31st. As both James and Sarah have mentioned in their Dirt Xtra blogs this week, Kasper has to fulfil a strangely-timed lunchtime match in Denmark on Saturday, and because he hasn't yet raced for Berwick we cannot claim his services yet. So back to r/r this weekend, I'm afraid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technically, one of the advantages of being all e-ticket -- this isn't specific to Berwick -- I see is that in the case of a rain-off, a promotion really only needs to (a) immediately halt ticket sales and (b) notify ticket-holders while immediately refunding their money. Anyone intending to travel, or pick up a late ticket would learn that the meeting was cancelled when they tried to buy their ticket. Thus, anyone who really needed to know of a cancellation would learn right away. But of course, in such a case the promotion of the track concerned will also notify the BSPL Press Office, who circulate the news, as well as the club presumably placing the information on their own social media.
