Maybe the previous two posters could start a forum all of their own.

Isn't that the truth.

And it being Berwick, maybe an extra lap.

Lets get the Edinburgh and Workington meetings out of the way first before worrying about Sunday`s trip to the home of the Comets.

While I agree that the scenes outside Ward`s hospital have been unbelievable, and hopefully Ward will have heard that support, I also remember seeing photo`s of Falubaz fans a few weeks ago jumping the fence onto the track while a race was on, just to try to get at the flags of that days opposition.

Obviously all thoughts will be with the situation that Darcy Ward finds himself in, but I hope as many people attend this meeting as IMO the riders there tonight deserve their support.

There are NINE former individual speedway World Champions featured racing at Berwick on our new DVD, plus a 10th competing against the Bandits on his home track. For a bit of fun, who will be the first to name all nine (or 10) correctly...? It would be great to meet up with the 'Speedway Family' at Berwick this coming Saturday night for the launch of our brand new Memories of Berwick Speedway DVD. The triple disc, six-hour set costs just £16 and containing dramatic footage of countless races from the Bandits' two homes - at Berrington Lough and their current location of Shielfield Park. Anyone who buys a copy of the DVD from Susie and Tony Mac at Berwick on Saturday will receive a free copy of Backtrack magazine, PLUS automatic entry to a free raffle prize draw where you could win a framed copy of the first ever Berwick programme for the opening meeting on May 18, 1968. The winner and two runners-up in the draw will also receive Retro Speedway goodie bags containing DVDs, a book and magazines. So this is another good reason to visit Berwick for the Bandits' home Premier League match against Workington Comets on Saturday (Aug 29) at 7.00pm. Latest weather forecast for the Berwick region on Saturday is good! Again this isn't my post, but one from the years gone by section. Thinking caps on with the World Champion question.

Probably the only Berwick manager to have a 100% record. One swallow doth not a summer make, Mellgren for Edberg makes Berwick stronger and our guests should do the job, yet I still fear a comfortable home win. News tonight that Jorgensen has crashed in Denmark and has suffered a shoulder injury.

I can scarcely believe it hasn't already been pointed out, and I know one or two would worry, but the referees report marked the track for the Somerset as "excellent". Now I think its fair to say some would take issue with the previous weeks report for the Sheffield meeting, but I for one would agree with last weeks refs report from Tony Steele. Credit where credit is due well done to the good work from the track team.

He also feels pretty wronged about the way he was dropped from Rye House, so has a point to prove, especially in the meeting against his former club in a week or two.

Trouble is, there`s a real possibility this bubble is about to burst.

I agree, if one or two on here spend more time and effort in trying to secure Berwick`s future than they do trying to score cheap points, or posting sarcastic comments directed at their customers maybe, just maybe there`d be more at Berwick of a Saturday night than there is now. Fighting with your own customers, a unique and novel approach.......not.

Mr. Barrie doesn't use this forum, as he has told us many times through his excellent programme column.

Staying with Berwick has done Edberg and Berwick no good, maybe a parting of the ways will be do good for both. Hopefully Edberg gets another team, either this season or next, and returns to Berwick ready and able to score lots of points.

From a Berwick perspective it will be a case of usual script, usual story, usual score.

Meeting off

I agree with you, given his injury its great to see Barker back, but you`d think he either could've mentioned it to the Berwick promotion or could've announced it during his interview during the meeting with sheffield. I am sure he would know he was signing for Peterborough. http://berwickbandits.co/article/memories-berwick-speedway-dvd Remember to bring those extra pennies next Saturday.

No need to hide this thread IMO, Ward the rider divides opinion, Ward the person now lies in a hospital bed with an uncertain future, the speedway family will put aside their opinions on Ward the rider and pray for the long term well being of Ward the person.

Spot on, he has the talent to be as good as he wants to be without being compared to any other rider, good as Tai is.

The very real prospect of Berwick closing could have a real impact on local riders like Leon Flint who are at the start of their careers as the closest track would be Newcastle.

I have a sneaky suspicion you may well be right, especially have spent around £1-5m buying the stadium and investing in Glasgow Speedway, though it seems on a raceday they are on the way to breaking even and there probably not that many teams that can say that.

I take your point, my reply was pointing out it would've been difficult for the club to get Saturday`s team news out as there were late injuries to riders of each team. As for the forum fannies, its mainly only one person from the club, neither owner nor promoter, who uses that term. But they don't use this forum so we are ok.

Wasn't a bad guess though.
