crescent girl 1,915 Posted May 2 The Poole trophy-winning machine steamrollers into Shielfield on Saturday, doubtless as confident as ever of their Pirates heading for another title. They do look mighty strong, but this year there's a bit of muscle in the new-look Jewson Bandits too, so we'll just have to wait and see. Not long to wait, and the meeting has every chance of being another Shielfield stormer! With recent very welcome Guest Richard Lawson on the other side of the pits this week, Edinburgh's Joshie Pickering -- who was a more-than-impressive leader for the Monarchs at Shielfield last month -- steps in for the still-injured Lewi Kerr. The scraps between the two Number Ones could be worth the entrance money alone! Regarding that entrance money, as usual, if you book your e-tickets before midnight on Friday you get yourself a 10% discount. All accompanied children under 16 are admitted free. Cash only at the turnstiles, but e-tickets can still be purchased on-line (more likely, on-phone) right up to starting time Tickets from https://www.berwickspeedway.com/tickets/ Teams: Berwick Jewsons Bandits (powered by Keenwood Karpets)1 Joshie Pickering 8.80 (Guest)2 Danyon Hume 4.933 Jye Etheridge 5.764 Drew Kemp 5.525 Rory Schlein 7.73 (Captain)6 Freddie Hodder 2.007 Bastian Borke 4.30Manager: Stewart DicksonPoole ‘Wessex Marine’ Pirates1.

I used to go to Hackney whenever Poole were riding and their car park was always free probably it was the norm at that time so and never been to Berwick just wondering why is it free when they could make a bit of money from it however it's excellent, unlike Poole who charge assume they don't own the car park.

At Poole the car park is run by the stadium leaseholders- Gaming International who set the charges - and is nothing to do with Poole Speedway! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bandits4eva 1,011 Posted May 3 Let's not let this thread get over run by pettiness. It should be a good meeting... Expect Lawson to bring the real challenge for Poole given how superb a guest he's been for us but we've certainly got probably the best guest we could get bar Mr Lawson himself. I do expect it to be tight as has been against Poole but hopefully we can keep the home wins coming and the fans happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Berwick have the advantage at reserve this time so going for a 49 - 41 home win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
