Am I right to assume no news is bad news on Bridger?....

Anyword on Bridger?

Winning races helps with the old morale

Any updates on Danny?

I know it's early but any updates on the injured?

thank you

Howcome Linus is riding for Gorzow today? I'm sure he's been riding for Gdansk already this season, didn't think they did doubling up in Poland?

Superb!

Embarrassing product on show last night, christ knows what they did with the track for it to be so vastly different from previous weeks. Bridger looked to be on Joonas Kylmakorpi's gear last night? rode his arse off to his credit. Class grass tracking by him in heat 15.. immediately making him the best Berwick sportsmen to play on that pitch this season...What happened to the Patrick Hougaard patterr of last week? Was it Berwick rumours or we're we in talks with him? ... Hopefully when the averages change this week we can get a good team together at the third attempt.

....

I know almost nothin about bikes but clearly this revolution/Bridger business ain't working out from my vantage point.. looks class on Liam's bike. Think Berge and the awol Vissing may be shown the door..

Delighted to hear it was another good meeting, racing wise.

I really enjoyed tonights meeting, some fantastic races In front of a big crowd. Encouraging riders being able to pass around Berwick so early into the season. Can't wait to see Lamberts career unfold over the next few years.

Few drops of rain a few minutes ago but didn't come to anything. Been pretty sunny and windy all morning but beginning to cloud now.. 2 minutes from Shielfield

It was a very dull meeting too, wasn't it.. thats the killer

Think i'll go to this one, not watched any racing in '16 yet. Exciting looking team Sheffield have.

Pissing down, lads

I'm sure the percentage of Berwick fans that have ties to the supporters club/2012 group is a lot larger than Arsenals

Should be a good weekend this ... I assume the nightlife in Peterborough is slightly better than Berwicks?!

It being boring is the main issue.. Makes no different me slavvering on about social media if the product is rubbish.

If you are lucky, Pearson might mention in passing you're club and what night you ride, a couple of times a season. Not a knock on Nigel btw, he gets enough unnecessary grief.

Yes, and that is the problem they come to the Speedway already, the only way to keep them is to entertain them. I was speaking to a bloke at work a few days ago wearing a Berwick Rangers scarf, Speedway came up in conversation, he said he has been going since its inception but stopped this year? Why? He simply didn't enjoy it anymore, and he is starting to feel the same about Berwick Rangers. We shouldn't cater our advertising to pensioners just because that is our current largest market. We aren't getting the most out the social media, cut down on the amount of newsletters that go out, they are repetitive, long and boring, they should be used to conclude news not break it. How do I know that Berwick are riding this weekend against Ryehouse by watching Belle Vue vs Kings Lynn on Sky? ...Aye, im beating a dead horse.

Minority. But speedway is a different animal, everybody who follows the Bandits on twitter does so as they have an interest in this specific product (perhaps very small interest, yes). I think the social media conversion with such a niche product rather than generic online shopping would be very different. Yes, I have no evidence for this, I am only assuming. Its not just simply about selling the product either, its about garnering local interest. Spittal Rovers and Tweedmouth Rangers are doing a far better job than the two Shielfield clubs, they've gained alot of local sponsorship but perhaps the return from the sponsorship for the clubs is only "peanuts" The difference between the clubs? Other than Spittal and Tweedmouth who are amateur clubs and Berwick being professional (at least thats what the riders call themselves) seems to be that they garner interest by creating a buzz and get people to join the band wagon. A POUND, it is a POUND.. I did a paper round every day and spend £5 on the Speedway every single week when I was younger. When other clubs promote "Kids for a Quid" they get praised to the hilt. Yes, perhaps the ship has sailed on this by constantly having kids go free as there is no way back. What difference does it make? very little I agree but I hope the book keeper of the club doesn't have the same attitude when it comes to other small amounts of income.

SOCIAL MEDIA for goodness sake!!! .. Its 2015!! .. Spittal Rovers in the past 3 months have done FAR more than Berwick Bandits EVER have on Social Media .. AND ITS FREE!!! WHAT ADULT OR TEENAGER DOES NOT HAVE TWITTER OR FACEBOOK?! You may not reach all of the pensioners with this form of advertising, but who cares..generalization here but...If you are over 65 and don't go to the Speedway already, are you really going to start going now? Waste of time trying to get new people along with flyers, but you may attract some lapsed fans so I am all for putting each months upcoming fixtures list in Pubs and Newsagents like Berwick Rangers but taking out adverts in magazines etc is a waste of money. An idea.. Under each Bandits related headline in the Advertiser (or the scottish alternative) have in smaller text our opposition for our next meeting, after all the headline is the first thing people look at (other than pictures) so our next meeting will be the 2nd thing people look at! BERWICK BANDITS BEAT EDINBURGH IN A 48-42 THRILLER Berwick face Somerset next Saturday at Shielfield 7PM ..Just a thought I'm aware there isn't a definitive answer to this, but do you think there be any less kids at Shielfield is the offer was "Kids for a Quid" rather than kids go free?
