Certainly plenty of unknowns about the whole team but fortunately the ethos is all about winning I don't imagine the ethos is all about winning with the Berwick National League team. If they can develop young riders like Mason Watson and Keiron Douglas, while giving extra track time to Kyle Bickley and Leon Flint, maybe find the odd gem here or there, the team will have served it's purpose. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Genuine question are Berwick running the matches as double headers or will the NL have their own race nights? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
George Dodds 310 Posted March 1, 2021 Regardless of supposed inexperience I would suggest that it'll still take a good team to beat that side around Shielfield. Kinda think it pretty much fits my idea of what a development side should look like. I assume that Mason and Kieran are still eligible for the NJL side too. Looking good ... just need to make sure that the initiative gets the support it deserves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing has been announced, but it would be likely that there will be stand-alone meetings on the many 'reserved' dates in the Championship team's calendar. But that's only a personal opinion, not official in any way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will certainly be interesting to see how the pricing structure and hear the estimated attendances throughout the season compare to the others who are running alone meetings and those running double headers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would think crowds would be down compared to Championship meetings. Might depend on the weather, holiday season etc. Hopefully it will be well supported with the young local riders. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what we've seen to date that is unlikely to be before England, but it could be later. We may be able to run without crowds prior to the date as amateur sports, which the NDL is classed, could be allowed before May 17. Armadale is prepared as COVID secure meetings were held last year and the guidance would be followed once again. Suppose it really depends if BSPL allow streaming which is available from Armadale.
