Taylorj Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 So the Comics (think that's what they called us) wallop the Bandits , another great team performance especially after the horrific crash in heat 1 with Morris trying to get on the back of Tero's bike , luckily it looks like Tero will be back in a couple of weeks not sure about Morris. Chuffed for Ashley on his Birthday too what an awesome night for him.Another good guest thanks to Chris Schramm, but again all the boys played their part. Such a good buzz at Worky at the minute, the away support is building , the Glasgow bus already full and a good crowd tonight. COME ON THE COMETS !!! Your number 3 rider should also be scoring more....ah well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneylegend Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Another good meeting on a good track only damper on it was the horrific heat 1 crash which could of been alot worse for both riders. More points in the bag for the comets to put us top. Ash flying onwhat was by far his best pl performance. ) Schramm didnt dissapoint as a guest either on the whole a good team performance all round. Kozza was the stand out for Berwick buy failed to recieve much support from the other bandits still not a bad following from the away fans which is good to see.

Lord Lucan Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Very good win for the Comets tonight, satisfied with that, nice 3pts. Must have been difficult for Berwick to come to terms with losing their No1 so early on, reserves not firing either wouldn't have helped especially with having to cover Morris's rides as well, pretty disheartening? As I said previous, couldn't make this match due to work commitments so cant really comment much however, I would like to say that I agree with the Berwick supporter, either this thread or the Saturday match, about running this BH fixture either earlier or, during the afternoon like we used to do back in the 70's, definitely be worth considering if it would encourage more Bandits fans along as I get the feeling a lot would if the timing was more agreeable to getting back for work next day... Suppose a winning side would as well, sorry, had to get that in!! Only joking, best of luck Bandits, it wont be all bad all season, even you have to turn the corner somewhere!!

screm Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Obviously the loss of Aarnio & Morris affected both teams,leaving only the reserves to cover their rides,I think its fair to say that the Workington reserves were up to the job where Berwicks were not.Thankfully Kozza Smith continued his good scores,but there was very little else. The Berwick promotion deserve better results and performances than they are currently getting from certain riders in the team,the quotes at the bottom of each match report says virtually the same thing every time,that they will get to the root of the problem or make the neccessary changes that will see things improve,in general they arent. Some riders have been critisized,rightly IMO,some riders have responded on social networking sites which is their right of course,but it might be an idea for those riders to do their talking on the track as all they are doing right now with their paultrey returns is adding fuel to the fire. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"do their talking on the track"!! Goodness me, do you acknowledge how depressing it is that a rider should actually have to go on Facebook requesting to leave a group? A group that he rides for!! Do you not think its pretty disgusting that it got to that point? I've noticed this for years, the way fans speak about riders as if their robots on a bike!! These guys have all the same emotions as "normal" folk & no doubt Alex felt hurt, disgusted and embarrassed by all he read! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topaz325 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 First of all best wishes and a speedy recovery to the injured riders in heat 1 (Tero and Nick) in what was a very nasty crash. I thought the Bandits would have put up a better fight than they did and to their credit they did perform a comeback of sorts in the second half of the meet with wins for Smith, Aspergren and Wethers which give the scoreline some respectablity. Kozza Smith was undoubtedley the star of the show for Berwick with some good races which included a six point tac ride win in heat nine.The injuries to both sides cancelled each other out but the Comets reserves out scored the Berwick reserves by 23 points to 5. Big star of the night for the Comets was birthday boy Ashley Morris with a great score of 15+1 from six rides, well done Ash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetiger2799 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Such a good buzz at Worky at the minute, the away support is building , the Glasgow bus already full and a good crowd tonight. COME ON THE COMETS !!! Good to hear, I remember fondly the days when Workington came a calling to Ashfield and if you wanted your usual spot you had to get there mightily early. For the closer it got to tapes up, the more and more the sea of blue would spread throughout the stadium. I doubt we will ever see those days again, but even a quarter of what used to turn up would be a decent away support. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you Screm i remember one of the directors saying at the beginning all the riders wanted to ride for Berwick well its high time they showed that on the track with a couple of exceptions.As someone has already said on here the track does not seem a problem for the away teams, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyhoundp Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Well done The Comets, and i am particuarly well pleased for Ashley Morris on his Birthday, to score 15+ points albeit against a poor berwick team, was his best PL score, and if there was any doubts in his mind that he can compete at this level, this must have put them to bed, what is even more encouraging is the times he did were competitive, some times you can see reserves winning races that are a second or two slower, but this was not the case yesterday.Im sure he must have enjoyed the long journey back down to the midlands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comet49 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 I enjoyed Ashley having a good night too, shame about the awful crash at the start, Nck riding well would have made it closer. Kozza Smith was good to watch but I was disappointed with Bellago, expected more from him. Good night's racing though, hope both riders recover quickly.
