Pinny Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago Berwick wont throw that away now , not a chance. Be all over by heat 7 or 8 at Plymouth. That was a pretty pathetic effort from them in all honesty and its lucky Barker had a good meeting. still not as impressive as Newport battering Glasgow , who were league champions that season, 65-25 in the first leg of the final in 2011 though. 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWellBehavedWorrall Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Well done Bandits. What a performance. Kildemand and Morris were outstanding, as was Battye. The latter two returning next season is massive for Berwick. If they recruit wisely, they could make a serious title challenge next season. Gutted for the travelling Plymouth fans. Several Gladiators should be embarrassed by their performance. Took this screenshot last night. What a crowd. I’ve been to Shielfield Park many times, but never have I saw the first bend this packed. Great to see. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted 4 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 4 hours ago (edited) 5 hours ago, Steve Shovlar said: As for the crowd it was good to see a decent crowd at Berwick. Must have been a thousand there at least. And the rest, mate! The main stand holds over a thousand and was very nearly full. And folk all around the terraces. A superb turn-out, from a town with a population of about 12,000..... Edited 4 hours ago by crescent girl 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthegearbutnaeidea Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Comfortably 2,000 imo, probably 2.5, although kids go free of which there is always a lot at Shielfield. No words re last night, great set of fans Plymouth have too, brilliant. Shielfield was electric all night, from the second Morris got announced for 27, to the riders going round on the victory parade, if speedway was like that every week, there would be no problems across the sport. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stumbled over the line a little after losing Josh at Plymouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As is often said... The size of the crowd makes the atmosphere.... Which then ensures memories of the event are good ones... A very ordinary event can live long in the memory when you were part of something with great audience numbers and participation .. Baffling why so many promoters don't seem to understand that and make kids their target market, and let them in for free... Hopefully there will be a knock on early next season and crowds will see more yearly growth... Such a small town should have some kind of "civic event" if (when) they win the cup, that would bring some great publicity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
