YAMYAMBANDIT Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 This is going to be one of the toughest test of the season, but I expect us to shade a win. Got a few converts from last year's Sky meeting coming along, one of whom has been an ever-present since then (a new die hard in the making). Screm, you did miss out one crucial factor, environmental variables, or do they have no effect? Just asking, as I don't know, but sure you will. Don't join the 'Excuse Brigade' All testing of equipment should've been done by now in pre-season, and the Berwick riders having had P&P along with a full meeting last Saturday should now have a set up for Shielfield, especially if the track is prepared to the same levels as it was last week and every week from now on, so the excuse of riders getting used to the track or still looking for a set up is an empty vessel sailing on the high sea of lame excuses. Edinburgh will prove a tougher test IMO than Redcar, especially with Craig Cook in their team, but I believe there`s enough weaknesses in the rest of the Edniburgh team for Berwick to exploit. Berwick 52 Edniburgh 40. Love your optimism, but, I think it will be much closer. Berwick 46 Edinburgh 44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 The key man for Monarchs will be Max Fricke he is an outstanding prospect but has not been great at Shielfield in his Previous visits ,if he has a good meeting it will be close run thing IMO.If the track is slick gating will be ultra important ,have we got aTeam of better gaters than the past few seasons?

screm Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 After a couple of rotten days weather-wise, the forecast for tomorrow is reasonable. It will remain dry tonight and for most of tomorrow, any rain could come late afternoon into early evening. Still quietly confident of a Berwick win tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike others I don't need official-dom to form an opinion, freedom of thought is great thing and its nice to be on the outside looking in.

"Freedom of thought..." when it comes to the science of meteorology! Well, I have heard it tall now! That must be some weather station you have to make your observations, measurements, and calculations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburgh cant win tonight with only Cook scoring, he will need back up, it is vital then that in those races Berwick take the majority of heat advantages, which I believe they will.

It's a real find the soi disant "Met Office". A boon for the speedway weather forecast enthusiast! Back to speedway, this is going to be a tough one for the Bandits, should be a cracking meeting.
