crescent girl 1,905 Posted August 23, 2021 Following the postponement of the Eastbourne matches, the Berwick club have worked hard behind the scenes to still present an evening of speedway -- with a bit of a twist on Saturday 28th. An FTS Bandits select will go head to head with a Bullets squad for a true Berwick Speedway showdown! Two 6-man teams will be managed by Gary Flint and Scott Courtney and 15 heats will take place under a new race format which will see an emphasis on managerial tactics with four of the races requiring a tactical rider nomination -- although each rider can only do one of those rides each. In very tricky times for the sport throughout the UK, your promotion are excited to take this opportunity to still provide the riders with a payday and the chance to enjoy riding their bikes while entertaining the fans and we are looking forward to next Saturday! Team line-ups will be announced during the week but you can look forward to seeing your FTS Bandits and Bullets stars take to the track under a slightly different set of rules. Tapes will be rising at 7pm. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Luke possibly riding for Edinburgh or stepping aside due to only having made 1 appearance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edinburgh have no meeting this Saturday, anyway surely if Eastbourne were here as was scheduled Luke Crang would've been racing for Berwick against the Eastbourne NL team.

Luke was in some difficulty after Monarchs' match with Kent. Seen by paramedic. May not be fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crescent girl 1,905 Posted August 26, 2021 With an intriguing new formula, a programme might be a useful asset on Saturday night. As well as a cracking publication! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technik 482 Posted August 28, 2021 I hope this go'es well. A new format might be just what British speedway needs moving forward. I'm glad it's Berwick doing it on their own with their own teams, had this been between different clubs then it would only be about winning. This way the teams are level & it's about speedway & not one club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
