Madsen has confirmed that plans for his big night are going well and is pleased to have the latest duo on board.
Have a look at this. One of the national newspapers is finally giving some airtime to Speedway!
I’m an ancient aussie visiting UK who was brought up on speedway bikes. From around 1955 to 1965 our family used to go every night to Aranui speedway in Christchurch NZ. What an experience. Our local racers were Ronnie Moore, Barry Briggs and Ivan Mauger, plus another guy just as good who never travelled. Those three (I think) held 12 world championships between them. Because they were racing locally, we got to see the top UK riders (I remember Nigel Boocock’s name) racing our blokes. Fantastic stuff.

Am I the only person to think the exclusion of Crump from the semi-final was wrong? Crump was clearly alongside and almost in front of Pedersen when they entered the corner, and Pedersen was well aware that as Crump slid into the corner he would need more space. Yet, he kept turing left into Crump and instead of straightening a little and staying on board, he quite deliberately fell off and feigned injury by staying down.
Well after reading how “the Hero” rode at Glasgow for the Isle Of Wight on Sunday I felt it was probably time to give him a little space on my blog.
Tero came into the Berwick team this year as a relatively unknown rider and many of us did not know what to expect from him. Lucky for us he started off with some ok scores for the team and quite impressed us.
One child has a broken colar bone
Second has a gash down one side of face. noth will make a full recovery.
As for the riders :
Scud : Battered and bruised but otherwise fine
Fry : Broken toes and knee ligament damage
Again both will recover fully.
Full thanks to the quick reaction of all track staff and also MHS ambulances for their quick arrival (within 5 mins)
Tonight was not a great night in Berwick as many of you will read elsewhere.
Crashes in race one and three on the first corner but with no injuries.
However later in the night, Heat 4 i think, another crash on Bend 1 with new boy Scott “the Scud” Smith. A bike was thrown over the fence into 2 spectators. Both of whom were children.
