crescent girl Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 Following the unavoidable -- in no way the fault of the speedway promotion -- postponement of last Saturday's BSN Series Semi-Final, speedway roars back into Berwick (OK, Tweedmouth if we're being accurate) this Saturday, with Plymouth's Gladiators storming the Shielfield fortress. Huge kudos to promoter Jamie Courtney and the good guys at Landels Electrical at East Ord (01289-331545) for putting in the hard graft necessary to restore the stadium to its full electrical glory over the past few days. Remember Landels Electrical if you have need of sparky assistance, domestic or industrial, in future -- always try to help the people who help speedway! Although both clubs are in action on Friday night (Bandits at Oxford, Plymouth at Edinburgh) they hope to be at full strength on Saturday night: BANDITS: 1. Peter Kildemand, 2.Jye Etheridge (C) 3. Victor Palovaara 4,Jordan Jenkins 5. Nick Morris 6. Jack Smith 7. Reid Battye. GLADIATORS: 1 - Danny King (C) 2 Joe Thompson 3. Daniel Kilma 4 Ben Barker 5 Scott Nicholls 6 Azne Grmek 7 Ben Whalley. The appearance of the amazing 48-year-old Scott Nicholls -- a 7-time British Champion -- in the visiting line-up is a huge attraction. Ever since he appeared in third place in the 1989 British U-16 Championship at the age of 11 (racing, and beating, boys up to five years his senior Scott has proved one of Britain's best, as well as most durable stars. Recent maximum performances tell us Scott remains very much a speedway star -- as ever, it will be pleasure to welcome him, and watch him, at Shielfield this weekend. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevePark Posted July 23 Report Share Posted July 23 Did the football club help towards the cost of bringing the Electrical Firm in, or did the Bandits have to fork out the cost themselves (I'm presuming Landels didn't do it for free, of course, if they did, good on them) ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting that football match was on at stadium last Saturday! That would indicate electricity problem relates to speedway problems ?

I don’t know what the issue was but they also won’t have needed the flood lights for a football match in the middle of the day. I think it’s a bit silly of anyone to suggest it was anything other than a honest, uncontrollable issue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
