Berwick Vs Edinburgh 12/8 Live On Sky


Recommended Posts

Not the greatest meeting for entertainment.

 

But it takes two teams to make an entertaining meeting, and reading the social media comments made about Berwick and the side comments made at the meeting by some of the Monarchs riders I think they were a bit negative about the track

 

Berwick started pretty well and took control of the meeting, then for only to appear to try and throw away the meeting, and I still trying to get my head around why they did not use Kus in heat 14, even Nigel and Kelvin worked that one out.

 

The crash was an awful one, and my best wishes go out to both young Fox and Matt Wethers for a speedy recovery.

 

End of the day just about the right result. .

Those knocking Berwick, their track and the racing it brings should think before they prattle on. The constraints they suffer when running with a track around a football pitch leaves them very little scope to improve their product. Do they want them to close? Any speedway is better than none especially at places like Berwick where from my many visits there they seem very proud to have their team. Have seen far less interesting meetings from tracks like Lakeside Wolverhampton Belle Vue Coventry on sky. Best wishes to Matty for a speedy recovery

Good post,

Ok not lot of passing . However great result . Atmosphere was best i have seen in ages at berwick. The good thing though was the amount of new people st the meeting. I brought one myself and they enjoyed it . Hope arron and matty not too badly hurt . As to matej kus stunning at minute. As i said pre season he was all up for it and had sorted out head. So all the doubters plz eat your words.should have been in ht 14 same as should have had extra ride at redcar. Hopefully team managment can learn . Alex still ok imo thats paid 18 in three meetings fair return from reserve.

 

Kus rode for Torun in 2009/10 9 point average for Redcar up until the mid point of the 2011 season

Lost his way at Redcar (not the first or the last)

Kus always had the ability because of the way the the team has been constructed Kus has had the opportunity to find his best form.

 

Kus certainly the best bandit at the moment all credit to him

Firstly best wishes to Matty & Aaron

 

From a neutral speedway fan watching on Sky - an enjoyable meeting, primarily because of the new concept of having a meeting run in thirds - 15-15, 24-6, 4-19 (before nominated heat)resulting in close finish. Entertainment racing wise I have to say was at a premium, but as discussed Berwick are limited with track shape and nearly always tracks around football/rugby pitches have tight entry/exits to bends which means limited passing.

 

I passed comment on Berwick team management after Redcar meeting which cost them a point and it came so close to being deja vu last night, it isn't even "playing a hunch" or "taking a gamble" - not putting Kus out was blatant mismanagement and as mentioned in previous thread top TMs change reserves to maximise who they will and will not beat!

Matej Kus made me proud to be one of his sponsors, I kept my belief in him, and am really chuffed he has proved the doubters wrong. Like Adrian Rymel he is a typically thankful Czech who really appreciates every sponsor who are helping him achieve what we all new he was capable of.

 

ROCK ON TEAM KUS

So let's get this straight WHB66..if we offer an opinion or dare to criticise the 'entertainment' on offer at Shielfield..we want the place to shut??Nah,sorry i don't get your logic there.Unfortunately the old chesnut about any speedway is better than none is fine for the old diehards,but if i was a newcomer to the sport and watched what was on show last night (and i have to say other times i've attended Shielfield ) i think i'd find somewhere else to spend my money i'm afraid.. My apologies if i'm 'prattling on' sir,but i'm just being honest that's all :P

"Lost his way at Redcar (not the first or the last)" - whilst I don't totally disagree with your statement, it really wouldn't have mattered where Kus rode last season - he wasn't in right place in himself to be a fully committed speedway racer. Delighted he is now back to the rider we all know he can be

Thank you my friend, Matej's head was in a strange place while at Redcar, in all that time Brian Havelock still believed in him, the demons are now out of the way, and we are seeing the real Matej Kus.

 

On you Berwick management points, I do so much agree with you, I think they need a mentor to help them while getting around trying to manage, perhaps someone like Tom Graham who has so much knowledge of team tactics.

For what it is worth I watched it on TV and really enjoyed it? I think it is a team thing on track critics. Berwick folks will say how good it is, Monarchs one will moan on the other side of the coin, more so after a defeat but that is same in football. You lose and you blame the Ref, pitch, poor catering, etc

Edinburgh v Working was turgid, absolutely rancid as a spectacle, zero entertainment and an utter dump of a stadium, how that looked to a possible newcomer god knows.

If attracting the newcomers is a concern best to offer a few words of advice on an Edinburgh thread before spending so much time obsessing over Berwick. :t:

While Sheilfield is right up there with the best Stadia in the world! The product is racing and Armadale wins hands down over that first two bend rubbish! Blame what you want, the shape, the preparation or the weather. You can ALWAYS count the passes on one hand in a night at Berwick. Maybe even in your double header.

In your opinion...that is the beauty of sport and life, we all have different opinions, no need to try and impose yours on others. :t:

Agree Armadale does produce it's fair share of passing, no doubt.

What I would say though is it's mostly from the home team which is thrilling if you're a Monarch, but isn't if you're not.
