I think you answered your own statement Cant believe this hasnt been started. With this a line up i cant get excited over To me it seems ur bog standard Berwick individual with only Rory offered as summit different. No doubt be freezing, bout 145 people there and as much passing as the old road to Berrington Lough!

coolcol Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 PW is probably seen Meldrums Milestones line up and thought there is no point in having a top notch Bordernapolis but however there isnt a straight up winner jumping out at me so i think it could be a good meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkirkbandit Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I'd liked to have gotten down for this as my car passed its MOT today, but i'm not too flush at the moment so i'm just gonna hang on for Meldrums meeting and hopefully get down then!

Yes it is way too expensive! Heard today that David had lost one or two from his original line up with riders returning home, injuries etc? Think Glasgow charging similar on Sunday too?

Yes Glasgow is also £15 , but have 16 riders which is over 20 heats , a semi-final and final - making 22 heats . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be a tenner for Adults, simple as that. Sport is getting way too expensive given current economic climate. Then no doubt there will be usual last minute call-offs! See no Rymel, Clews or Sike in line up and of course Franchetti in GP. Edited September 26, 2008 by Ellesmere Gunner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falkirkbandit Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Not again It's almost a weekly occurance . From the Official Berwick site: Makovsky and Kerr from the gate Howe looking a tad subdued until Kerr spun 360 right in front of Aarnio who used Kerr as a ramp and fell heavilly - race awarded. Kerr up and ok, Aarnio complaining of right leg / ankle pain as medics work on him on bend two. He has been stretchered off into the ambulance. Transfered to NHS ambulance and off to Wansbeck General for x-rays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
