Edinburgh V Berwick (lc) 17/4/15 @7.30pm


Recommended Posts

far to easy tonight Berwick were terrrible one race winner all night says it all. They also made a complete arse of the T.R.

 

Erik just seems to get better and better each week same with Wolbert and Clegg. Sedgmen, Cook and Masters never broke a sweat and Rob had a night to forget as he was a bit all over the place.

 

Mr Campbell also won £250 in the grand draw maybe he can put that towards the wage bill ;)

 

On a negative note Sam blew and engine during the meeting at some point and Cookie blew his as well at the start of heat 13.

Easy win for Monarchs as predicted by all even having the luxury of not needing to put Cookie or Sam in heat 15. Theres no point of having a rider like Ben when hes riding crap machinery

his machinery did not look crap when he won his first 3 races at Home,but there was something about losing a main Sponsor regarding machinery before season started.

did you really expect a contest from Berwick oh my dear fellow you are deluded

Plus £250 towards the wage bill will be like peeing in the North Sea

While the Monarchs are a very good team it amazes me how many riders return to Armadale season after season and always seem to struggle,it's a track that requires technical ability but most teams and riders seem beat before they turn up.Its a well prepared track and a professional rider should be able to adapt IMO .

you would imagine so but we could have seven Armadale experts and still only get 30 points

Think Berwick riders are told just to come away in one bit given the number of injuries we have had over the years.IMO Armadale proves that a lot of riders do not have the skill to ride a modern speedway bike because of all the slick tracks nowadays. Armadale Is a well prepared track not to slick or too grippy but needs a bit of throttle control and should not be difficult to get to grips with .

Personally I can't understand what the problem is with Berwick riders and Armadale , even if we tracked a 7 track experts we'd still get humped

Completely agree, you`d think by now as professional riders our team would have at least learned enough about the Edinburgh track to put up a better show than of late. Edinburgh are a decent team, that's obvious, so I don't expect us to win but it seems our riders are beaten before they start.

 

Maybe we could concede three Premier League points, and save ourselves the embarrassment. Any Berwick who went up there last night deserve a medal.

Quite possibly the lowest amount of my fellow Bandits fans i've ever seen up there in the ten years i've been back in Falkirk. I'll be lucky if i saw half a dozen that i knew. Mind you, if i didn't live just 12 miles away, i probably wouldn't bother either.

 

Highlight of my night - the fact that the roadworks folks had two guys manually operating the traffic lights on the main road outside, that enabled us to get the hell away from the place quicker than it would've been if they were just on automatic.

TBF Ben didn't and doesn't look fit enough. Michael did seem on the pace. Doolan didn't look anywhere near fast enough to pass Jørgensen. Jørgensen looked frustrated, he had the speed but couldn't make it work despite doing all he could. Edberg did ok and was unlucky. Crang just is not ready for full PL yet. RR rarely proves an advantage especially on away tracks. Edinburgh have an advantage from the minute the away riders arrive, they have to park outside the pits. The pitbays are cramped for the away riders, the staff are rude (with the exception of the clerk of the course). You really are at a disadvantage to start with. But hey-ho Edinburgh won, Berwick lost that's the way it goes. Hopefully tonight will be better against Scunthorpe.
