Those that made this call could not run a bath. Absolutely, plymouth were one of the first teams to complete there league matches due to running against England World Cup fixtures, changing race night to a Tuesday on occasion to be rewarded with a Cup final in October when you can more or less guarantee issues with the weather.

Madness I fully agree, but that's what speedway does these days, they no longer care about supporters that may want to travel to see their team. Total madeness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mgas Posted yesterday at 08:55 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 08:55 PM Well done to Harry Fletcher on his debut tonight. Wasn’t a million miles off the pace, Berwick can be daunting on a first visit. Bit more experience and the lads going to be a good rider. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitza Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago After three heats it seemed like Berwick were going to throw last night's match, some come back from seven points down. Congratulations Bandits, bonus point well and truly won! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is that think if we had had JJ at Redcar and Worky and full team at Armadale we would have been in playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after Saturday's performance skys the limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) Tonight's news on Reid Battye, who has re-signed for Berwick in 2027 is really tremendous. Reid has had (generous) offers from other clubs to leave the Bandits, but will instead "dance with the one that brung him to the ball" Edited 4 hours ago by crescent girl 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it is hard to follow up a good debut season with one in the following season, be interesting to see how he progresses but he has all the attributes to push on.

Glad he won't be off to any NORA meetings next year. He'd never live it down (or understand). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mgas Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Brilliant news. Reid isn’t just performing on the bike there are new fans turning up just to see him. And that’s exactly what we need. Does the business on track and makes a huge effort with people. Something has just changed this year the atmosphere in the ground has been incredible. Part of that is home wins part of it is the rider interaction with the paying punters. I do truly believe that Reid, fresh faced and doggedly determined to ride to the best of his ability is a huge part of that. Well spotted Dick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a big step forward. Something has just clicked this year. The social media side, the racing. Interaction between crowd and riders, the chance of actually winning something. It’s a pleasure to watch and be part of. We are all so quick to criticise but credit where it’s due, and it is due. Well done to all at Berwick. And it’s not done yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
