The Promotion have not given out any information about this situation so we don't know how many ideas were put forward ,like you say it was not only the financial side that help was being sought.The "experts" might still be waiting for a reply for all we know.

In the 70's Berwick had a number of Div1 stars in match races,not sure if Collins was involved but don't think so.Briggs Mauger McMillan are one that I can remember but there were more.

Clear as mud,but like you say not worth discussing now,it's over.

Some of Doyle's moves last night were" hard and dangerous" not "hard but fair" IMO .Has had a few in the last few Gp's .

I think Holub or Thompson

You reckon! I think it will be close match.

Sad news ,was very enthusiastic and friendly towards the fans and did his best to liven up the night out.R.I.P.

He was.

Barry Briggs for Hull at Shielfield

Rickardsson rode at Berrington and was beaten by Kevin Little !! If I remember correctly.( for Ipswich)

You will have to add Sam Ermalenko and Jason Crump to your list that would make 12 what I don t understand is ,would you not have to have see video

Do what?,boost the attendance ,probably not.

Open day this Sunday 10-4,

Len is good at that ,his reply in the letters page of SS to a fan about the state of the Kent track was nothing short of downright arrogance ,belittling the fans opinion.

Thats is certainly one thing that has dogged the present Promotion since they took over,they have have no luck at all with riders getting injured ,they have my sympathy on that front.

Glad there's such a good feeling about the place,all we need now is a crowd to match.

I assume you will inform the fans of the Workington line - up when known.

Not in latest version just Berwick line up.

Poor publicity when you cannot name the riders of the opposition team.Still I'm sure some riders will turn up

This will boil down to reserves and we have more reserves than Edinburgh.!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you ,car sport and bike sport have introduced mechanical measures to try and reduce speeds on circuits(of course tuners then work to get round these changes) and it has made the bikes safer to ride at high speeds,speedway has done nothing except introduce silencers with judging by riders comments make the bikes very unpredictable to ride.Something has to be done IMO .

What about the guy who helped them with their website.!

I have no problem with Ben going elsewhere for the reasons given,but I find it hard to fathom his interview on centre green, why he just didn't explain the possibility of him to another club if he felt fit enough.I can't believe that either him or the Berwick management had no idea this was possibility .A lot of fans will feel let down by the way it was conducted.

They don't really get a lot of track at Berwick,they have honed their skills elsewhere IMO

I think here llies the problem,other bike sports and car sports have improved safety measures AND technical specifications to try and reduce speed of their sport to try and stop accidents and in the main has been successful.Speedway has done nothing regarding the technical side of the sport and the bikes are now lethal weapons in conditions that have barely changed in 50 years (less dirt being the only thing).Things have to be looked at ,there is hardly a meeting now that fans are not standing about waiting for an ambulance to arrive.
