DSC67

25 minute gap between Ht 1 & 2 , riders struggling to control their bikes , races strung out the length of the straight and another home defeat , do you really expect folks to happy ? All I can say is it's a good job there's a wee break until the next meeting

This meeting started badly and never really improved from a Bandits point of view. Biggest positive was the effort put in by Lewis Bridger even if he did resort to a wee bit of grasstracking in heat 15 . Kev & Nick deserve honourable mentions for their efforts but to be honest The Bandits never looked like taking anything from the meeting

100% lol

no need for an anchor then for Berwick the we're already at the bottom

And people wonder why speedway is considered a Mickey Mouse sport

Is it too much to expect the teams for tonights match to listed on the Bandits website ?

Like I mentioned in my previous post with my comment about KK , Claus isn't the first rider to do this sort of thing and sadly he wont be the last

I wouldn't say Berge was in the last chance saloon, but going by his performances lately he's certainly running out of bars

Only in the event of a draw at the end of the second leg

Never really been happy with the TR rule , I've always felt to get double points the rider should at least have to win the race , don't se why you should get extra points for beating the opponents second string rider for 3 rd place , I also feel that it should not be available to the home team

Dimitri Berge has been most unimpressive and that's putting it mildly

Anyone know what the long term prognosis is on Ryan's injury ? Could be looking at at least 3 replacements if its long term , guess things will change after Thursday night and the completion of our 4th away match

Don't think that you'd be allowed to kick Dick Barrie up and down the football pitch Looks like Claus has been comparing notes with Krzystof Kasprzak

Well done to Sunny . You're never going to win a speedway meeting with a 2 man team , losing Claus was a big blow that said it was an excellent performance from Danny and Kev ,. By the time Bridger got going it was to late , Berge was dire did he actually pick any points that weren't gifted ? Liam is a finding life in the main body of the team tough , but I don't see him improving much when he drops down added to the fact that Danny will swap with him so we won't get the extra rides from him .

The crowds so fat this season at Brewick have been pretty decent , mainly due to the fact that we've had mostly local derbies so far , added to,the fact the the new promoters/ ownership seeems to have attracted a few old faces back . Be interesting to see how the levels are when the visitors aren't quite as local as Edinburgh, Glasgow etc

Dick's comparison to football is slightly foolish IMHO , in football fans are always slagging their team off call for the mangers head or wanting underperforming player can be dropped . We all want Berwick to do well and nobody really expects us to be champs , I just want to se a decent performance with 7 riders putting in a good shift , last night was a lot better and with a wee bit of luck we'll start wining matches

We don't do the business in the big heats it's as simple as that , added to the that Liam was a passenger last night and when you're already a rider down you can't afford that . On the plus side both Kevin and Claus seem to have found some speed art last . There was a lot of good racing last night just a shame about the result

Personally I think any club that would force a disabled persons carer to pay to get in should be ashamed of themselves . There's plenty other free loaders who get in for nowt that they should be cracking down on

Really looking for Liam to kick on this year , the no2 race jacket is always a big ask for any rider , perhaps a spell back at reserve might help if him and Danny switch when the new green sheets come out

Berwick might manage a slight improvement on their previous showing , but I'm not that hopeful

If you don't make starts or get heat winners you ain't going to win meetings it's as simple as that . Our no2 scored 2+2 theirs a guy who has never seen the place before scored 7 says it all really . Tough period ahead for the Bandits but if things don't improve after the away match at Glasgow I can see changes being

I'd say this is a bit of a dead rubber Can't remember th e last time the Bandits won a match by more than 30 points ,and I don't think it will happen tomorrow night

Decent meeting last night with some cracking racing and some good times as well . A healthy crowd is always good to see and I think most would go home happy . Berwick look a little undercooked but that's to be expected at this time of year .

Check the date the statement was released

Mike Parker was against the opening of a track at Berwick as he we'd only last a few weeks and they'd be left with an unfulfilled fixture list , 50yrs later I think its safe to say he got that one wrong
