[9] In 1981, the Bandits remained homeless and carried on riding home fixtures at Barrow, Workington and Glasgow before being forced to quit NL racing after a protest from Edinburgh boss Mike Parker.

[12] From 1982 to 1988, Berwick were difficult to beat at home but gained little success, Bruce Cribb and Jim McMillan came and went by the time Mark Courtney and David Blackburn arrived.

The team had raced 13 years at Berrington Lough but due to its remote location the club were always fighting an uphill battle to maintain good attendances and make a profit.

[15] On 9 July 1995, bikes returned to Shielfield Park for the first time in 15 years so that council officials could carry out noise tests, and on 17 August 1996, the Bandits started their second spell at the Tweedmouth track.

Stability had returned to the club and Berwick's quad of Paul Bentley, Adrian Rymel, Michal Makovský and Claus Kristensen won the Premier League Four-Team Championship in 2002.

[18] After an awful 2007, the Bandits made the final of the Young Shield, losing out to Workington Comets in what turned out to be promoter Peter Waite's last meeting in charge.

In 2009, a new shortlived promotion came in, spearheaded by longtime supporter and North Berwick butcher John Anderson and Cornhill shopkeeper Linda Waite.

[19] In 2015, the Bandits owner John Anderson announced mid-season, amid a run of poor results[20] and dwindling attendances, that it was time for someone new to takeover[21] or liquidate of the club's assets.

Eventually three new associate directors (Michael Mullan, Dennis Hush and Darren Amers) came aboard, and the Bandits declared their intention to continue but the three resigned citing the incumbent owner's reluctance to change.

[25] Following a season lost to the COVID-19 pandemic,(The only meeting that year being the British U21 final ran behind closed doors and live streamed) the Bandits returned to race in the SGB Championship.
