Teal 74 Posted May 3, 2013 Good promotion, but not a Monarchs idea. Glasgow, at the time of David Thompson in the Blantyre days, did almost exactly the same promotion. Yes, great idea -- just don't claim it as being original.......... where is anyone claiming it to be an original idea? & I'm sure the initial concept started years before Glasgow did it!! Who actually gives a sh*t about the idea being original or not?? ObsceneSpeedway was merely stating its a good idea!!!! My god!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robinh88 571 Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Never mind the Monarchs, support your local team, you never know this could be their last season?? John might run us into the ground, but SPEEDWAY at Berwick will never die or in general Edited May 3, 2013 by RobinH88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Calm down dear - and it's not a very good idea, as has been pointed out &, I guess exactly why Glasgow dropped it 30 years ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigeddiechek 1,094 Posted May 3, 2013 I think it is a good idea, as long as it is administered properly, and probably as a short term promotion. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OBSCENESPEEDWAY 20 Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Its an idea nonetheless which is better than no ideas at all. Edited May 3, 2013 by OBSCENESPEEDWAY 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Teal 74 Posted May 3, 2013 Its better discussing ways to bring new blood to the sport than fancy dress costumes for a sky meeting!! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OBSCENESPEEDWAY 20 Posted May 3, 2013 Fancy dress sounds worrying, looks good on the darts in an indoor, loud and busy, booze driven environment however in a small town in north Northumberland may look a bit bizarre & cringe worthy, especially if only a handful of people turn up in fancy dress.

Teal 74 Posted May 3, 2013 Haha, its true, we're gonna get in trouble for slagging off mind!! ;)rebels!! I just don't get the fancy dress either.....maybe I'm just boring, but fair dos if people want to do it obviously, but Ewww my skin crawls at the thought!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aparently its so the rest of the country watching on Sky say "Gee those Berwick fans are great". Believe me if the meeting is of the standard of the racing we`ve had so far at Shielfield,theres no amount of fancy dress that will stop the critisism on here. The needle mightve got stuck but its all about the on track action that will determine if the meeting is a success or not. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

george.m 3,063 Posted May 4, 2013 I always thought Berwick fans were in fancy dress anyway. Just goes to show how wrong you can be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Afraid I could not see any major change way track is given it is around a sports pitch and is never going to be wider. A purpose built track like Scunthorpe is the answer of course but that is not going to happen.Just be glad you have something to support unlike many others who have lost the sport of speedway and the way things are going many more as well.
