Makes the promotion look very childish IMO, the Supporters Club have bent over backwards to help the club, why bite the hand that feeds.

We were told the other day there was two sides to this story, until we here both you cant say that.

Quite true in fact if it hadn't been for the Supporters Clubs through the years helping any of our promotions at Berwick, current or previous, or the small sponsorship scheme Berwick Speedway might not be here today.

As it all goes to help Berwick Speedway you`d think they would, I mean why wouldn't they.

Just in case the club don't include it in their next news letter, this is taken from Facebook on the Supporters Club AGM last night. Berwick Bandits Supporters Club membership has been halved to only £5 for adults and £2.50 for Children. Membership forms will be sent to all previous members ...with a copy of our newsletter or these can be picked up from Lisa Youngman at Youngmans Carpets in Berwick, Once the website is up and running you will be able to download the forms from there. A new era has began, the Berwick Bandits Supporters Club held their AGM last night in the Black and Gold, a new committee have taken the reigns, in the Chair we have Angela Wilson, Vice Chair is Alan Neil, Treasurer is Lisa Youngman and Secretary Shelley Wilson. We have a lot of great ideas in the pipeline and we will keep everyone up to speed through social media, local press, regular newsletters and a new website to be launched in the next couple of weeks, watch this space......

2600 posts of high quality, well reasoned argument.

The 2012 Group do a great job, in a small way yes but a great job nonetheless, I`m sure the riders welcome any help they get from them, sadly the promotion don't seem to see it that way which is sad as you would've thought any help either directly or in-directly to help the riders win meetings for Berwick would be a good thing.

And what reason did they give for such thinking.

I subscribe to the Speedway Star, and done so for a few seasons now, but the Ward story on the first couple of pages in this weeks edition is lifted straight out of the Ward, Middleditch, Poole Speedway PR machine. Poor journalism.

We were told recently there were two sides to every story, maybe the supporters will get to know all the facts.

Agreed, though as has already been pointed the supporters club would have to be independent of the club, as it was, for that to happen.

Take an oath to who though, clearly this is something I have yet to do.

Jones was the No1 rider at Berwick when I first started going to speedway in the 70`s so we will go with him.

In the years I`ve been watching Berwick I will pick one from the each decade, Graham Jones, Steve McDermott, and Mark Courtney.

Hopefully there will be a big turn with lots of new members, though you would've thought the club might've put this in their last news letter.

Most of which we knew already.

You have to wonder what the promotion make of one of their employees calling one of their customers a "cretin".

Good news for Rye House is that their fixtures will take priority when there`s a clash with Lakeside`s regarding Kennett.

Its all some can do to make a point, sadly.

Don't see it as Ward getting his just deserts, Ward has done wrong, even Middleditch admits that, now he has to face up to his actions. I hope he isn't lost to speedway, but learns from this and comes back a better rider for it.

Why, it was Wards boozing that caused this mess, maybe the FIM forced him out kicking and screaming to every bar and drinking hole in Latvia.

There`s just no pleasing some.

There`s going off on a tangent, then there`s the tripe we`ve had to wade through on here over the last few days.

Reading some posts over the last page or two there`s more than one.
