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.

So glad to see this
Heres the press release:
This will be Smith’s 3rd session as a Bandit, in an association that goes back to around the turn of the Millennium for his first and 2005 for his second, but the prodigal son has made another highly anticipated comeback.
The Scud had kicked off 2008 with the Workington Comets, but as results were slow to come his Cumbrian bosses lost patience and let him go just as Berwick were looking for a replacement for the injured Italian, Guglielmo Franchetti.

Ok its a new season of speedway, has been for a while i know, but well this year thinks have started both positively and negatively for the Bandits.
Had a great team for the first PL matches, obviously a man short as he broke he collar bone but it was good and we were unbeaten. However Henning Bager left the team and our injured rider returned only to rebrake his collar bone.

Saving the day, everyone involved at Anderson’s Quality Butchers Berwick Bandits are delighted to welcome back an excellent old friend.Anderson’s Quality Butchers are back as main team sponsors for the Berwick Bandits in 2008, dramatically saving a lot of heartache behind the scenes at the border club.
The last minute life-line for the team, to be known as “Anderson’s Quality Butchers Berwick Bandits” has been a very welcome relief for club boss Peter Waite who had been desperately searching for a team backer.

A bet with team mate Steve Johnston said that if he raised £1000 for cancer reasearch he would shave his head.
However on the night a collection raised over £1500 and team mate Johnston happily did the honours of shaving Nicholls head.
Any pictures anyone has would be greatly appreciated. All copyrights must be acknowledged however.

Brilliant season for the brummies. We all didn’t expect Birmingham to have such a good season as this one, considering at the start we had such little home advantage. All the riders have done well for us, but for me Jason Lyons has been terrific. Without him i`m not-sure whether we would have achieved what we have done. Two finals (premier trophy, Young Shield) and second in the league is great, only the fact we were unable to finish our fixtures before the cut off was the only reason we were unable to reach the play offs. Well done Tony mole and Graham Drury and the brummie riders who have been a joy to watch.
