Agree with you,how dare the Leicester promotion try and bring money into the club. Flagrag makes a good point that it might be an idea if Leicester bring in an EL No1 as a guest,though that means that one of the homes riders will miss out on much needed laps in the early part of the season.Tell you what un-happy Leicester fans Berwick have Edinburgh as their first meeting of the season,fancy swapping.
-
Are you serious,the chance to see Nicholls,Kasprazak etc round Leicester is sure to bring out a big crowd,so well done to the Leicester promotion for doing so. Better to give an EL team a challenge than to give a PL team free practice.
-
Very true,and if memory serves they have sponsored the Bordernaplis meeting in the last couple of season or so. Excellent news on the team sponsor,I hope it will be the start of a long tern relationship.
-
The club announced that when Alden decided that he wasnt coming that put an end to Albin,though I must say that if your keen enough on a rider then you should sign that rider.I hope Albin is a success at Sheffield but it might be a case of one step back before two foward.
-
I dont agree,anyway which one of the current Berwick team would you drop.Albin is very much untried and will see most PL tracks for the first,that IMO is to much of a gamble to take at this time for Berwick. Wish the lad the best of luck at Sheffield though.
-
Can we take it everyone is now happy that Wells has signed.
-
If the Berwick Promotion are going for a "gimme me the money" in their negotiations,then I fear they may end up empty handed.Any prospective sponsor will want to know what return they get for their sponsorship,exposure,publicity,etc,not to mention a return in terms of sales.To that end it would be interesting to know if any of our previous sponsors gained from their investment.
-
But where the clowns,send in the clowns Dont bother they`re hear
-
Yes,certainly better news,it was posted on here a few weeks ago from one of the Berwick fans that looking for a small group of sponsors might make an alternative.Its also reported that we are still in talks with a couple of companies who might be a main sponsor.
-
You shouldve tried some of the Ipswich threads from last season.
-
Then you dont think there`ll be a sponsor then,Id imagine that would be the 1st question the riders wouldve asked before signing their contracts,not to mention the BSPA when handing out firstly the Ben Fund meeting then the Under-21 meeting later in the season. And nobodys moaning as far as I can see.
-
Of course Sheffield might just beat them,good way to start the season.
-
Nothing can be guaranteed for 2013,add in injuries and other teams strengthening up and its virtually impossible to say the title is Redcars,even if they do indeed have a decent team.Look at last years Champs Scunthorpe,they made a couple of changes and ended up taking the title.
-
Theres no doubt that that it would be virtually impossible to run speedway these days in the PL without a team sponsor,but I dont think it will come to that.
-
Oh boy are you in trouble,the righteous crew will be along presently to show you the errors of your ways. Your right though. Ive no doubt that the appeals to fans to fans towards the end of last season to help finding sponsorship were genuine enough,and it may be true they are still talking to sponsors and before any contracts are signed there will be no announcement,but are the promotions actions that of a club with any doubt about running.And as has previously said,Berwick have ran before without a sponsor,though in this day and age its far more advantages to have one than not.
-
Moving these meetings is no real drama,most tracks will be ready to go come the beginning of of March and Im sure would only to willing to host them.Ive had PMs from people wanting hotel information in Berwick,people who are wanting to attend the Ben Fund meeting and stay over,its not likely they`ll be looking hotels where theres no 100% guarantee of seeing the meeting. Like Ive said for a while,there will be speedway at Shielfield with a sponsor Im sure.
-
Agree,the promotion went to the BSPA conference and gave an intention of running,they have giving seven riders contracts and employment,they have announced season ticket and admission details,and who our opposition will be on our proposed opening night.

-
Whether it be with or without a main team sponsor,I think theres no doubt that we will see speedway at Shielfield in 2013 IMO. Even after an edit you still posted this.
-
What you mean you havent been told. The new team sponsor for 2013 is...........
-
Grants done little or no racing for a while now,so a jump straight into PL racing might be a jump to far at this time,however as he says himself a spell in the NL might be an idea.
-
But is it really so necessary to built a team that goes right up to the points limit,maybe Sheffield are going down the route of signing riders who`s averages are going to improve,and dont forget Simon Stead has taken up a fair chunk.Id admit on the face of things the Sheffield team so far doesnt look the strongest but lets see what the team looks like when its complete and what happens when the racing gets started.
-
If Wells wants to be at Sheffield as much as he says he wants to be then Id be hoping that he would see things from the clubs point of view and sign a contract,IMO he should think himself lucky that Sheffield want him,and he`s hardly likely to be on a pittance.
-
Agreed,though Im sure the line-up that is being put together will get people there.
-
I see you`ve found the percentage button on your calculater.
