And your prediction will turn out same as last year.

Confirmed on Berwick`s offical site. http://berwickbandits.co/article/back-black-gold-bandits-announce-new-commercial-manager

Young Flint clearly is a talent and it would be great to see him in a Berwick team in the future, but has yesterdays announcement proves his name and talent are knowing in places other than Berwick, you can bet when Flint becomes old enough to sign for a team, and become their asset, there will be many teams other than Berwick courting him, most with big fat sponsorship deals to tempt him.

The statements put out today all say that going to Leicester will be short term so that Brandon is brought back to usable condition, though why it has been let to get into the state it is in now is another question. If by May or June say and the Bees are back home then all well and good though I think there will be further excuses made, further deadlines extended and Coventry will see out the season at Leicester which will almost certainly lead to another winter of uncertainty before the 2018 season.

Workington Comets ‏@OfficialComets 2m2 minutes ago More Great news as Thomas Armstrong Ltd will continue as our main sponsor

Delighted to see this saga come to a positive end and Coventry remain on track. Thing is I get the feeling that a return to Brandon wont happen.

Hopefully there will be some kind of an announcement tomorrow, one that brings this whole saga to an end with a bit of luck.

Sky are not crap, they are giving a window to speedway, what is crap is that after so many years coverage we still dont have a main sponsor for our main league.

If the vast majority of those 1000 correspondents turned up at Brandon each race night then the Bees might not be in the pickle they find themselves.

I`m sure the BSPA will certainly be considering considering planning for the event.

Peterborough at the minute are due to race on two other Friday nights other than against Berwick, Scunthorpe March 24th, then Sheffield July 14th.

We were told by Buster last Friday that by now we would know what was happening at Coventry by now, and we`re still waiting. One wonders if the BSPA would be so charitable with the amount of time had it another club.

You could still do a tour, just not all the meetings will involve Berwick, but I`m sure any tracks you could visit would be very welcome of the extra few through their gate and of course their bar takings would go up, for the reasons posted already. Anyway as is mentioned on the fixture list fixtures are liable to change making any kind of arrangements a bit of a gamble.

Sad to see not much resembling a southern tour as was the case in years gone by, in fact I dont think Berwick even have two away meetings on consecutive nights never mind anything you would consider as a tour.

Can you do that though with any confidence, for example I`m planning on doing the SWC round at Kings Lynn and would probably stay over for the Peterborough Ipswich meeting the following day. Just a guess but there`s every chance that meeting will be minus Danny King and/or Jack Holder, so could that meeting be moved or become a guest fest.

I find the criticism of Buster Chapman and/or the BSPA a bit odd, IMO the BSPA have been more than lenient with Coventry and those trying to see speedway continue there. But there has to be a time when a decision must be made, I thought that would be last Friday but here we are Monday evening without any definite news.

Fixture list, for Championship clubs anyway, will be released at 9am this Tuesday, maybe the Coventry situation will become clearer before then.

Looks like the full fixtures will be released on Tuesday at 9am.

To be fair to the BSPA I think they have, other than saying talks were on going I`m not sure how much more could be said. Looks like Fridays deadline has passed, for the good of speedway a decision should be announced tomorrow and we can move on with or without Coventry.

Certainly with Campton I agree with you, Workington seem to see something that I`m afraid I cant and I see another season of averageness from Campton, and giving the kind of faith, and the efforts Workington have put in to sign him being just average isnt good enough IMO.
