I was suggesting, I was asking.😂

In the early to mid 2000s - when these sort of tours happened - our home meetings took place on a Sunday afternoon.

Yeah I recall visiting Glasgow one sunny Sunday afternoon.....had a lovely dinner in pub next to track.

We lost match, just, but think Stoney beat Les Collins for silver helmet.....might be wrong?(1999 was year).

Very surprising from the Berwick promotion. It would be more understandable if these meetings were months apart, but two local-ish derbies in a row is madness imo. Hopefully it doesn’t affect the numbers through the gate. 

It’s also hardly exciting for the regular BSN viewer to watch the same track two weeks on the bounce. 

All track have the same number of BSN visits anywhere and showing local derbys will be good viewing.At the prices you pay to watch it’s a minor complaint IMO.

If the Promotion are happy don’t see any reason it affects the fans.

Sadly Sam Hagon`s hopes of qualifying for this years SGP2 series ended in the Czech Republic today, to his credit he finished in 7th place with 9pts.

Decent effort looked a stronger field than Glasgow.

Looking at the June averages Connor Coles would fit as a temp replacement for Wood, as would Adam Roynon.

In a way Wood is lucky he's carrying his low 2023 scores in his rolling average, keeps his figure at 2.00 for longer. Will also help him get a team place next year if he doesn't race the full 20 meetings for Berwick this year.

Roynon is probably faster on his track walk these days.

It’s  a very disjointed season these days for the lesser riders,I think that’s the reason for their inconsistency riding weeks apart.Sady not going to get any better

The sport is serious decline in UK.Dont know the answer though.Strange decisions seem to being made in the eyes of many supporters,but at the end of the day the Promotions are the ones with the money invested.Sporadic fixture list will kill off the sport.

Agree, we need weekly speedway or at least fortnightly, having 3 -4 week gaps, folk will find something else to do with their time and money

They already have, despite the best Spring weather for many years.

Shortening the Championship season from April to August would push the same number of meetings into a shorter timescale and give the impression of a busier calendar, and more regular fixtures for fans.

Once you get to September the weather is a lottery.
