New Berwick manager Stewart Dickson has told Bandits success-hungry fans: “I want to make Shielfield a fortress.”


Bandits finished second from bottom in the Cab Direct Championship last season, losing five of their eight league matches at Shielfield Park, and that trend has been the norm since the sport resumed after the world-wide pandemic.


Dickson (pictured) said: “It is important to build a team which can turn Shielfield into a fortress. Doing that will qualify you for the play-offs and put you in contention at the end of the season.”


The former Glasgow Tigers supremo added: “I can guarantee you that the team will be putting everything into every race and that I will be quick to react tactically if it is not working. I can’t promise miracles, but I can assure you it will be better than the last few seasons.”
