Just isn’t the money for the role but hopefully Phil will still be involved in a more advisory role and possibly on a pay as you go basis . If the TV deal had come off he would have been very involved. i still do not agree that clubs didn’t take the initiative of broadcasting one meeting a week free on You Tube to satisfy sponsors and try to attract more new fans all they had to do was pay the production costs which were minimal compared to the full tv production costs. The best way would have been to pay BSN to produce one meeting a week for free YT broadcast as that would then give them the opportunity to upsell their subscription service of people want to see more and could have sold race sponsorship for the season

A BSN fixture has been postponed, this is a early season competition which I believe this year the final is scheduled for early summer. So to keep this on schedule after an postponement it has been rescheduled asap , unluckily for Berwick it's that fixture that has been dropped to fit in the BSN fixture. Nowt to do that some team has something against Berwick, just got to get the BSN early fixtures completed

Indeed - do want some sunshine? Come on then

Don't think this is about Berwick. No matter what club had been logged in for that date for a Championship match would have been bumped to get the BSN match on, and complete the section.

Thanks Rob.

The refund information is sent directly to all ticket holders. You'll have the ticket transferred to April 22, with an option of a refund.

Yes in the hour since I first posted Ive WhatsApped some mates. I don’t communicate with people via carrier pigeon.

You're spot on with that

Asking as you spoke to them after you posted.🤔👍

I’ve been speaking with some friends I’ve made at Shielfield including one who is a club sponsor and I most definitely am not alone in that view.

For God's sake! I give up with this bloody sport. I decided to go and watch this. Waited until this evening to buy tickets - and it's cancelled. Do I get a refund then? That part seems to be missing from the statement. I don't particularly want to go to a rearranged fixture. I'm off work this week. My payment is still pending at the moment. Let's see if they still take it!

Double post

Think you are alone

My first visit on sunday with my lad and he loved it even though he fell a couple of times and was very rusty but all round great effort from the team and owen was made very welcome Thanks so much for giving my lad much needed track time Paul

Absolutely bonkers ruling. If not enforced anywhere else then it’s a joke to be enforced here. should be enforced worldwide.

Flagrag has already indicated he has been moved on.

I think it’s more likely to get the last BSN meeting done than anything sinister against Berwick. If the BSN meeting is not run until later in the season it could screw up the whole competition.

I have no wish for Oxford to fail but changing Berwick fixtures for Oxford doesn’t seem right. If nothing else how many other teams would have that luxury? Berwick fans pay their money just the same as any other club’s supporters.

Oxford has always been the priority, Berwick is/has merely been Oxford B However it is besides the point right now really, I’d rather see Oxford continue on and have them running, it would be another devastating blow to British Speedway if they can no longer run.

I may be alone in this but I suspect other Berwick supporters may feel similarly, rearranging Berwick fixtures to suit Oxford doesn’t sit particularly well. I hope this isn’t an indication as to who the priority is.

Turns out I was completely wrong

Its the right decision but way too late after advertising tickets etc for the last 3 days

These sort of negotiations tend to linger on and if so have a damning effect on the fixtures

I think, to be fair, when a rider isn't aware of such a significant change then the comms. process probably needs looking at.... In my old job employment law changed almost weekly, so I got notified of the updates ongoing, meaning I would follow the "new rules" when making decisions... I wasn't expected to read the whole employment law each year to pick out the changes.. The BSP put out their operating model changes from their AGM, therefore maybe the ACU should do the same?

I think we all hope so.
