Giving his recent posts I find it quite sad, actually I have no problem in Dick Barrie being inducted into the Hall of Fame as he has played a part in Berwick Speedway for many years and that deserves to be recognised. If he is in the Country I would've thought every effort should be made to attend especially as part of the night is in your honour.

Never trust a person who, when posting on a forum uses the third person to do so. Face your anonymity horse bolted many many moons ago.

Ironic to say the least Mr Barrie will attend one of these so called "jollies" paid for and organised by the Supporters club, maybe on the night he can categorise those there into fans or supporters.

The supporters club have supported the club in very real terms over the years, they have given substantial donations for the purchase of a new fence, the purchase of a second ambulance, loan fee for riders and many many more. In fact without the supporters club and its donation I suspect Berwick Speedway would've gone by now. The thing I find most distasteful about Mr Barrie`s article is the way we are categorised, either fan or supporter, to me they are one and the same. Anyone spending their money to attend meetings, and in many cases making sacrifices to do so deserve better. It is true there were differences between the club and the supporters club last season but as has already been mentioned bridges were being built. This topic was debated on here and looked to have been put to bed, at least partially, now that can have of worms has been opened again, I will only make the point I made at the time, the club would do well not to pick a fight with its most loyal and those who help the club either directly or in-directly as there is only one winner there.

Incredible.

Sad to see today's news coming out of Workington though after rumours of money troubles in recent times it probably shouldn't come as a huge surprise. I feel for Laura Morgan and the rest of the promotion, the numerous volunteers who kept speedway alive in the town and of course the fans who have seen their team win everything last season to now not being able to defend their title.

Doesn't every Newcastle fan secretly wish they supported Berwick.

Depending what kind of wash they put it on I suspect we will see riders wearing every shade on your chart by the end of the season.

Delighted to say I have now received my email from the club confirming buy 2019 season pass, credit to the club for putting together an offer to tempt the likes of me and from what I gather quite a few others.

No email as yet, hopefully I will get one soon.

How long do you wait for your confirmation email from the club about buying season tickets.

To be fair that's hardly a very high bar though is it. You have been asked to name names, either put up or shut up, anyway I`m not sure why any issues revolving around Berwick speedway would bother you as you aren't going anymore.

For those who volunteer, or those who provide a service that puts speedway on at Berwick, I have no trouble at all with them getting free or reduced entry. Its those who either used to provide a service, no longer do and think they have a right to free entry, or the wives and families of those who provide a service on a Saturday night there is a problem. True its the choice of the club but there are times when it seems the clubs generosity it being taken a lend of.

It was those pesky meddling free loaders.

If you look at the other teams, many have at least one or in some cases two reserve riders who are new to the Championship and riders that Danny Phillips rode against in the National League last season. That should mean he can compete with those riders and find points easier to come by.

I think someone`s been at the Christmas sherry early.

Yes but there`ll be the same winner every month, that's hardly fair, very nice, but not fair.

Sad to hear that John Thompson passed away over the weekend, John was a steward for both Berwick Rangers and Berwick Bandits, he will be missed by both. RIP John.

Will there be fireworks, please tell me there`ll be fireworks, fireworks are my favourite. mmmmmmmmmmm fireworks.

Count me out, very nicccccce.

I think a new track, new challenge would do Lindgren the world of good, good for Newcastle to as he could come back in 2020 a better rider.

All I want as a paying customer is value for money so when I leave Shielfield I am happy with what I`ve seen and looking forward to the following week, something that was not always the case last season. Lets hope lessons have been learned and we see better entertainment next season.

In all the years of supporting Berwick have I ever had a season ticket, but the offer as it stands at the minute is one to good to turn down. So for 2019 I will be a season ticket holder, well done to the club.
