Absolutely, what disappoints more is this is Berwick`s and Birmingham`s first meeting of a new season. The SEC Challenge meeting would've been in the diary for some time so this could've been avoided. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is probably why Birmingham tried to put the match back (like the Edinburgh and Newcastle ones) but Berwick refused. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A sport whose leagues run with so little credibility and kudos, actually plan in to make it even less credible and give it even less kudos in winning.. And if anyone says "shortened season due to covid" then why run junior teams if fitting in first team meetings would be an issue this season.. Or.. Plenty of double headers with the junior team could have been replaced with two teams from their own league visiting.. What you often get when these meetings are planned in is "Team A" wanting the match on due to a 'weaker' "Team B", and "Team B" agreeing to it because they have lined up a track specialist ringer which actually can improve their chances. "Please take us seriously"... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crescent girl 1,907 Posted May 20, 2021 Speedway Star reports Scott Nicholls will guest for Riss (about equal) but getting Broc Nicol in place of Grobauer is akin to daylight robbery! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,057 Posted May 20, 2021 As mentioned Scott Nicholls guests for Erik Riss while Broc Nicol guests for Grobauer, I also hear Berwick go with R/R for Coty Garcia who is on Covid lockdown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
