It just shows how bad life is at the moment with trained personnel whether track staff, paramedics, NHS staff & others are in short supply at this trying time. 5 hours ago, BuxtonTiger said: It's the 4th, Redcar 2, Newcastle 1 and Berwick 1. Along with Wolverhampton 's wrong type of dry day this week I await the next new postponement excuse!! The Sport really is starting to crack at the seams.Struggle to run meeting due to staffing levels is not good news.(Mostly volunteers) Lack of Paramedics is a real concern as the situation on that front is not going to improve quickly,and is a major headache( apart from expense). l 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadders 4,135 Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) Currently steady rain within sight of the track. Probably would’ve been postponed anyway. *edit* Now raining heavily at 1850 Edited June 11, 2022 by Shadders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crescent girl 1,907 Posted June 16, 2022 This tie will now be raced on Saturday, July 16th 7pm start. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crescent girl 1,907 Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) Once again, the FTS Bandits lose a rider to international duty, with Leon Flint called up by Team GB to contest U-19 Euro Pairs (with Oxford's Sam Hagon) in Latvia on Saturday. However, the squad welcome back former captain Aaron 'Spud' Summers to take Leon's place for what is a very important cup-tie against the Bears, who have snapped up former Bandit Kyle Bickley following the closure of Newcastle. Kyle remains at Berwick as a Bullet, captaining the NDL squad, and will doubtless be anxious to prove the Bandits wrong for letting him move on. Following the main event, there will be another NJL mini-match, this week between Berwick's Academy youngsters and Tees=side Tigers. FTS Bandits: 1 Chris Harris (capt), 2 Theo Pijper, 3 Jye Etheridge, 4 Ricky Wells, 5 Aaron Summers (guest), 6 Jonas Knudsen, 7 Nathan Stoneman Bears: 1 Charles Wright, 2 Jason Edwards, 3 Erik Riss, 4 Kasper Andersen, 5 Lewis Kerr, 6 Kyle Bickley, 7 Jordan Jenkins Academy: 1 Ace Pijper, 2 Owen Booth, 3 Stene Pijper, 4 Liam Morris Tigers: 1 Edward Davidson, 2 Laylen Richardson, 3 Dan McTeer, 4 Rocco Webb To encourage their preferred policy of pre-payment, the club will continue their "Kids Go Free" deal for customers who their tickets online. Adults £17, Concession/OAP/Students £13, accompanied Juniors (12-15) £5 -- free if booked online. Accompanied Children (Under 12) £1 -- free if booked online.

Shadders 4,135 Posted July 16, 2022 I was slightly hopeful before last nights Glasgow meeting. Not at all hopeful now after the carnage of this week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Berwick have certainly had some cruel luck this week, for tonight Aaron Summers, as guest is an equal for Leon flint so Berwick wont lose out much there. Seems that Etheridge is ready to ride tonight as well as Pijper, much will depend on their fitness as to how close Berwick get to clawing back the 12pys, personally I see it as to much even with a fully fit team so with a weakened team I see nothing other than Redcar going through. Perfect weather though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
