crescent girl 1,908 Posted June 1, 2021 A tough test for the Bandits and Bullets, facing the reigning champions of both their leagues. Thirty heats, and both matches maybe too close to call? New month = new averages. Bandits will have Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen as their No 1, while in the Bullets team both Kieran Douglas and Mason Watson are promoted to the 1-5, replaced at reserve by Ben Rathbone and Ryan MacDonald. Although Shielfield Park can accomodate considerably more spectators than some other stadiums at present, Covid restrictions are still in place and admission will be by pre-booked e-ticket only. Book at https://www.berwickspeedway.com/tickets/ As eight out of the ten sections in the main stand were sold out more than 24 hours prior to the opening night double-header, if you prefer to sit in a certain area (you can select your section as you buy the ticket) it is advisable to book early. While not required when seated or standing in your selected spot on the terracing, masks must be work when entering, leaving and moving about at all times. Stadium will be open from 4.30pm, and tapes go up in the first match at 6.30pm sharp. Programmes (£3) are only available from the usual kiosk and snack bars. Please try to have the correct change, to keep things safe and simple. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W9 Lion 227 Posted June 2, 2021 Got my ticket and looking forward to my trip North. But the key question as a visiting away fan is - Which chippy is best for some pre meeting food? Any shared local knowledge would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have always found this one very good, and its only a hop, skip and a jump away from Sheilfield Park https://www.bing.com/maps?FORM=GEOTRI&PC=SL10&q=prior+chippy&isRef=1&showTw=1&isAutoP=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weeyin 1,022 Posted June 5, 2021 A good meeting , still pretty much gate and go around Shielfield, Leon Flint has really stepped up a gear and Dany Gappmaier really is electric there, Leicester top 3 are something else and good job for Bandits that Ty Proctor struggled, fantastic race by Jye Etheridge to hold off Kyle Howarth , lost my voice after that one. a few Glasgow fans there tonight supporting the Bandits, well done to them for getting the points. Was wonderful getting to see my first live meeting, and nothing beats the smell of methanol 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
