Paulco Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Could be an Easter spectacular weekend against the Bandits with part one tomorrow night at Ashfield . This is the strongest looking Berwick side for many seasons with two ex GP riders spearheading them , assuming Kildemand is fit of course . They are backed up by a strong middle order and a promising reserve in Sam Hagon . We will have to improve a lot from last Friday to get the better of Berwick tomorrow night , should be a cracker of a meeting though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weeyin Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Looking forward to this weekend, Berwick stronger than we have seen for a long time, we need to improve from last week, think it will be a close one both at Glasgow and at Berwick on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted April 17 Report Share Posted April 17 Think if Cook and Kildemand turn up in decent form it will be tight in both matches.Early season though but both Teams look OK on paper.But we all know!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beirao Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 Our season has barely started and already we've got fixture problems following this cancellation. We've got a blank Friday on May 2 but Berwick are at Edinburgh that night. May 30 is reserved for the KO Cup - at home if v Workington; away if against Edinburgh. If the latter we have two meeting Berwick (BSN) and Edinburgh (KO Cup) to arrange in June - and no blank dates! Trouble ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how they manage with 19 Team League, KO Cup and 4-Team Tournament 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with 4 Friday clubs who don't want to race on an off race night, suddenly not so simple. I would prioritise the BSN matches, as that is supposed to be an early season competition. Race Berwick on 30th May. Edited April 18 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can run any day of the week, as long as we can get the riders. And we are quite good at trying to arrange fixtures on off days where required.

Race Berwick on 30th May. That's the date reserved for the KO Cup. Would be riding at Armadale if Edinburgh beat Workington. This meeting is also off and possibly will be rearranged for May 23 when the Comets were due at Armadale in the league. Looks like both BSN and KO Cup competitions are likely to be delayed. Irony is that May 2 is unused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diablo Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 Only 1 meeting so far this season & already murmurings of fixture congestion ahead. Meetings again in October & bare weeks in July & August again. Rinse & repeat every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
