Goldmember06 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Really? Yes. From the track improvements to the signing of top quality riders ie Ashworth, Alden, Complin. To staging FIM meetings. The promotional team have improved lots of aspects in a short few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCOTLAND1314 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I feel a wee bit sorry for Berwick they have improved their lot off track no end. They've also acquired one or two decent riders along the way. Last night seems to have swung on the battle of the guests. Worky have done very well over the last couple of matches by employing Cookie, Dyer and Wee Joe Tabaka. With these guys effectively giving match winning performances. IMO Berwick are missing the scoring of an in form Ashworth (certainly at home). Berwick tried using R/R for Ricky which wasn't quite doing it (certainly against Edinburgh) and last night they turned to a guest rider who appears to have had an off night. At the start of the season many were predicting a high league finish for Berwick so have all the reasons for this optimism dissipated? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgcumming Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 If I were to go to my work and not perform to the best of my ability, there would be consequences. In a results driven business such as speedway, these consequences need to be swift and decisive. I look forward to seeing how the underperforming members of the team are dealt with. If we are struggling to gate, why is the whole team not out after the meeting getting some practice instead of bouncing around the centre green. The same excuses get rolled out every week that issues are getting dealt with. Shame there will be an ever decreasing number of people there to see if this is really the case. As for team changes, what average is M.Tressarieu available on? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Najjer Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 This was always going to happen with Robin. It was clear at the start of the season the team he wanted to ride for but he couldn't be fitted into their team plans and had to settle for 'second best'. This was always going to happen.

Bandit59 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Has anyone heard in the last couple of weeks about a new owner/ director coming in next year ? or is it people making things up ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadders Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Yes. From the track improvements to the signing of top quality riders ie Ashworth, Alden, Complin. To staging FIM meetings. The promotional team have improved lots of aspects in a short few years. Oh come on! The track improvements have only helped the visiting sides. Berwick used to be a place that other teams feared going to, now they're rubbing their hands together. Are you honestly telling me these are better times than 2005, when you were unbeatable at home and won a fair few away?

Fromafar Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I think the Promotion need to tell Alex to refrain from making comments on the Berwick Facebook site as he is very negative regarding the track and says the trouble is that it is round a Football pitch and is too square to produce good racing and is not safe.The track has produced good racing around the same Pitch for many years.

BigRackBandit Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) Just out of interest... Would the tractors doing doughnuts on the bends during the meeting when grading the track be to time consuming? I've only seen it done a few times during a meeting at home and I seem to remember Adrian when captain, dictating the track grading during a meeting a few years ago, they did the doughnuts then the next heat Adrian, who wasn't exactly notorious for his passing at home hunted down his opponent then made a good pass round him on the 3rd n 4th bend without having to fence scrape Edited May 5, 2013 by DeeksYaMahaga 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What shape was it when he first arrived at Berwick? I've never worked out what the attraction is in Edberg. Before his fence-changing pile up, he had a few rubbish scores which is why they brought him back for the last couple of matches that season to get an average. Sometimes a low average is simply a reflection of not being very good. Last year was no different. A rare decent score, a less rare break from racing, leaving the team with NL. replacements as he's the lower reserve. Nice race suits aside, there seems to be no difference this year - just waiting for the career break or the "Alex is Back (probably for one week only)" score.

Currently results wise no they're not better but 2005 was a very exceptional season. The Saturday night experience at Berwick has improved tenfold. Also the country was in a far better financial position back then, people had more disposable income then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Alex shouldn't need to make comments regarding the treatment he is experiencing, the people who moan should be absolutely disgusted in their behaviour towards him. Ignorant fools!! What a depressing day for Berwick Speedway when a rider is leaving his teams Facebook page! Hope folk are proud in their narrow minded task of wearing a rider down! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think if that's what he's saying and how he's feeling the best thing he could is step aside and let someone else do it N.b Just read these comments and it would seem that Alex is putting his point across in a constructive manner to which he is getting the same constructive feedback from the fans Edited May 5, 2013 by Goldmember06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Peter saying to me that 2005 was his worst season for crowds. People got used to us thrashing visitors and stopped going. The fact is that Berwick fans are always looking for something to complain about. It's a cultural thing throughout that area, I'm sad to say. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
