Fromafar Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Based on current form, probably not! Nothing wrong with wishful thinking though. Clubs need to use when they can to promote and get fans through the turnstiles, it is sensible to use Edinburgh’s current run of results as a selling point? As a club who pride themselves on doing everything right some of their Press releases have very derisive comments on them.IMO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boobs Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) As a club who pride themselves on doing everything right some of their Press releases have very derisive comments on them.IMO Yes, in your opinion. But press releases are just that, information to the media. Sports editors and the like prefer juicier copy, and if it gets onto the printed page or the airwaves, then the job is done. People might come along to see for themselves. Edited July 10, 2014 by Boobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, so you`d think they might've included the news that Bellego will miss this meeting, or maybe that might put a few off going knowing that Berwick will be without one of their top scorers. Looks like Berwick will miss Bellego that night, as if not mistaken it is World Under 21 Final round in Italy Correct Bellego will be in Lonigo that night racing in the first World Under-21 Final. The second Final takes place on August 17th at Ostrow/Poznan, depending on travel arrangements and/or practice rulings there must be a chance that Bellego will miss our home meeting on August 16th against Somerset.

Robinh88 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Similar issues different season.. Admittedly part of modern day Speedway, the blow is softened if you have the guys to replace the rider, at the moment (we don't) Much better season this year however defeats to the Monarchs and the Rebels and not making changes may cost us a Top 6 place. We may well make the Top6 (which would be a achievement) I don't see us beating (Edinburgh, Somerset, Workington, Scunthorpe, Ipswich or Newcastle) with our current 7 with Kus at reserve over 2 legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) True, so you`d think they might've included the news that Bellego will miss this meeting, or maybe that might put a few off going knowing that Berwick will be without one of their top scorers. Well, as Berwick haven't yet sent out a press release about next Saturday's match, we'll have to expect that, when they do it will accurately explain David Bellego's situation to editors, etc. What was quoted (in my opening post on this thread) was the club's e-Newsletter, which is a service to subscribed supporters, not to media. As the rider's absence on July 19 had already been notified to these same fans by the e-Newsletter service as far back as mid-June, perhaps this item about Edinburgh's run (and the attraction of seeing it hopefully ended) can be allowed to stand up for what it clearly is -- a cheerful item, just one of several stories in the club's regular service to their followers? Or aren't Berwick to be allowed to service their supporter-base with a bright electronic newsletter two or three times per week, without every nuance contained in these bright offerings being clinically picked apart in a search for imagined inaccuracies? Rant over. Edited July 10, 2014 by crescent girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazc Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Nearly every Berwick thread descends into arguing over in my opinion trivial issues you should take a leaf out of our book chill and Monarch bait it is much more enjoyable but to be fair to them they give as good as they get . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Kelly 41 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Good Lord, has it really got to this. Oh don't be so po-faced. Forums can be fun, you know. Berwick are working hard, getting a big match well-publicised by being talked about. (and I'm not Dick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
