crescent girl Posted Monday at 06:44 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 06:44 PM Itâs been a while but speedwayâs back with a bang in the Borders this Saturday.  Typically dreich spring weather means it will be 49 days since the last high-octane racing action at Shielfield Park.  But who better to relaunch the season than Glasgow Tigers, a team packed with track specialists against a Bandits side hoping to welcome back Peter Kildemand to the fold after injury and handing a debut to Jordan Jenkins.  At 43, Chris âBomberâ Harris shows no sign of slowing down and recently qualified for the World Championship Challenge while Berwick-born-and-based Leon Flint, the ultra-exciting Kyle Howarth and Danish newcomer Kevin Juhl Pedersen all know their way around Britainâs paciest racetrack.  But in Nick Morris the Bandits also have an all-out racer in fine form, guesting for a number of clubs and riding with Premiership Leicester during the Banditsâ hiatus, while Victor Palovaara was just two points away from joining Harris in the GP Challenge.  Berwick already have an eight-point victory under their belts over their noisy neighbours, in the BSN Series. That went right down to the wire and thereâs no reason to think Saturday night will be any different.  As always accompanied under-16s go free so make a family night of it at Shielfield Park where there are 1,400 seats in the covered grandstand, terracing and grass banking viewing areas which allow you to get up close and personal to the action. Thereâs also two licensed bars and a takeaway hot food restaurant. Gates open at 6pm, first race is at 7pm. Buy your tickets online from berwickspeedway.com/tickets or pay cash on the night.  Oh, and parking's free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it is a similar spectacle to last years match in the league which was a really good contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago I'm hearing due to lack of interest the triggers fans bus is cancelled đ˛ always used to bring a bus full of fans to most tracks in the north, sign of the times đ¤ maybe having streaming parties rather than going to the track these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
