Many on here bemoan the lack of weekly Speedway, however... Four meetings out of a months salary is a fair chunk of it for many... Personally, I think every fortnight hits a "sweet spot".. Three of them are away from home… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people have a BSN season pass, so will now watch it at home getting there moneysworth rather than attend the meeting. Probably be a different audience for the live stream. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but surely they could have streamed meetings from teams further afield as said a lot of people have a BSN package and will probably decide to stay at home instead of attending a "local derby " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season it will be Edinburgh, Redcar and Workington. As you say, all local derbies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were a Redcar or Workington supporter and had a BSN package would you pay extra expense ?

I'm assuming some will but some won't What I mean is the management could be banking on some Redcar/Workington supporters still coming up, meanwhile the further away fans might be more inclined to get Bandits TV which could overall make more money instead of the further away fans just getting BSN. Its the only explaination I can come up with. You do miss out on a big crowd and increased atmosphere for the locals which is a shame though, saw it at Glasgow earlier this season against Berwick when BSN were up, expecting a full crowd but it was half empty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates Of Poole Posted June 19, 2025 Report Share Posted June 19, 2025 Does anyone think Berwick will look to make some team changes in the next couple of weeks? clearly they need some new additions to kick start their season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team manager Stewart Dickson was candid in his assessment after the meeting: “I cannot fault the effort from the boys but we are just not strong enough to challenge the top teams in the league at the moment. “We now need to dust ourselves down and prepare for a must-win meeting on Saturday.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's berwick and same goes for most teams, they build to a budget, and can't just flash the cash to try and strengthen the team, and where do you think these riders are gonna come from !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
