If weather has been poor Mr Swales is the man who can.salvage a meeting for you. Well done Johnny. Full credit to the riders for giving it a go. Willy bottled it. Semi wasn’t first bend bunching, so an exclusion should have occurred. The final was not first bend bunching. A rider lifted, was out of control and took out an opponent. Charles should have been excluded. Hollow and shallow victory, but rode well in rerun. Ironically Bomber left Charles room on the outside, I wonder if positions were reversed would Charles leave some room. I have my doubts. Feel for Ben Cook who was best rider on display.

So a few hours ago Bewley was racing in his team,, beating Leicester which hinders their chances of a play off spot,,, now a few hours later races for Leicester trying to help them keep a play off spot And people wonder why speedway isnt taken seriously

Personally I think Charles was lucky to be in the re-run. But I’ve had others say Harris touches him, causing him to then lift. But, one thing that isn’t Charles’ fault is the decision. He took his chance and made it count in the final and deserves praise for that over everything

Agreed , I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday after sitting in torrential rain in the car park thinking I wasn't going to see any speedway . So the Redcar trackstaff deserve enormous credit . When Sheffield riders won the PLRC every few years , folk would moan about home track advantage . A home rider wins and thats what you get . Ok I wanted my own team's rider ( Chris Harris ) to win , but when you got racing like we got yesterday , speedway was the real winner, but well done Charles Wright .

A message from Jamie & Scott Courtney. There can be no hiding from the fact that 2023 has been our toughest season on track in recent memory. An almost constant flow of injuries throughout both the Bullets and Bandits sides have contributed to a lack of consistency on track and whenever there has been a glimmer of hope it has been swiftly followed by another heavy blow. As a club, the wellbeing of our community and riders is top priority and to see so many lads from both of our sides get severely banged up really does have an effect on the morale of everyone involved with Berwick Speedway. A sporadic fixture list, inconsistent weather, lack of rider availability and probably the toughest economic climate to run a Speedway club ever, has led us to ask ourselves all of the big questions…… The reality is that Berwick Speedway has always been more than just a team that enters a league year in year out. Berwick Speedway is bigger and more valuable to the sport than we are all probably feeling right now. The club has always shown great resilience through the toughest of times since the Taylor family founded Berwick Speedway back in 1968 and it’s time to dig deep once again! Moving forward we are delighted to announce that we will be leaning on our strength and resilience to bounce back from adversity and we will walk into 2024 with our heads held high. As per every year, plans for the following season both within the club and at BSP level begin around July/August time and 2023 has provided us with our most challenging season on track but we are ready to regroup, rebuild, recharge and go again. Bringing the fans, sponsors and supporters of Berwick Speedway the best possible version of the club in 2024 is our top priority and we are well underway with plans to improve in all areas we can. On Saturday September the 16th we will mark the end of a short but explosive era for the Berwick Bullets. After 3 seasons of competing in the National League, the club will be taking a break from that level of competition. The Bullets have been almost entirely self funded by the club owners and after an incredibly demanding season on and off the track, your promotion have made the decision to channel their attention towards the Bandits and a revamped youth system. The Bullets brand will continue at youth level and will be associated with the purpose built Grant Henderson Tankers training academy at Duns. We look forward to our remaining fixtures and will continue to do our very best for the club in 2023 and beyond!

The Ref said at the start of the meeting he would allow all 4 back whenever possible. As he did with Richard Lawson after he lifted coming out of the 2nd bend, which took him into Lewis Kerr and fell halfway down the back straight.

All the whinging,complaining & lack of respect to the winner . why not praise Redcar for providing a track which was allowing passing in heat 22 , It was a meeting full of terrific racing Apart from Belle Vue what other track could’ve done it. Ben Cook was excellent , his time will come, I would have been Danny or Bomber had won it , as it happened one of the sport’s great triers did it, Well done Charles

Charles Wright is so wild he's dangerous he should have been excluded for that

You can give up on British Speedway if you wish but don't mix that up with Peterborough Speedway's plight which isn't inevitable, even if it seems like it at the moment and the messages from management are constantly negative (unusual that because historically that charge is what's aimed at the fans). We have a stadium and if and when we move then who funds that is open to question. Part of AEPG's argument for ousting us will, allegedly, be that Panthers are poorly supported, so good to see that you disagree with that. Just remember that when asked, if you have any fight left in you for Peterborough Speedway at that point

Accidentally knocking someone off isn’t a lack of respect, it’s racing

And he’s guesting for Peterborough tonight in place of himself because he’s cup tied

They just don't care how ridiculous they make the sport look over here. Bomber sacked by Leicester, he has a moan and says he's going to spill the beans on everything when In actual fact he doesn't tell us anything we don't know, and then he goes back to guest for the club that sacks him. How do you explain this to new fans? Honestly. Laguta will be getting his Mrs to phone in sick for him shortly.

Bomber guesting for the Lions at BV at lunchtime. And, no, it's not April 1st!

A few quid but the BSPL didn’t even bring a trophy, they forgot , the club had to produce one from behind the bar.

As he had been all year - I said he was destined for the top when seeing him score 6 I think it was at Foxhall early this season and nothing since changes my mind. Shame for King in this meeting, without being wiped out in the first running thought he could've nicked that final. Well done 'blind willie' Dishington (no relation to 'blind Willie' mctell)

Don't think you can have a rider back that you have already sacked.

7.16 was his last gsa in 2017

Yep - I've just checked Although won't at next set after 1/9 Bewley rising by half and point and Lawson falling from current month As with all the other expected shenanigans in the coming days only possible due to the time lags between averages becoming effective

May was ok at Somerset, but the Rebels teams didn't actually need much managing, the Hancock's ran the show there, never tracked a bad Team.

Led to believe the Scottish police still have his number 1 bike after the incident at armadale the other week,

None of us know what's going through his mind at the moment, so let's just let him sort himself out and decide his future over the winter. Riders like Shawn Moran and numerous others knew when the time was right to quit, if Cookie's reached that point then good luck to him and thanks for the memories.

Your maths are spot on. What you were unable to factor in though is the likelihood that Bewley probably can't be a*sed!

He's still around and working in the background with others to try and save the club

As no tyres were changed during the meeting you will have find something else to moan about.

Excellent meeting again from Poland... Emil... And, a great ride from Tai to protect Kowalski... Polish Speedway... As we often say, if only we could run the UK version with the same level of competition and credibility...
