crescent girl Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Bandits' latest e-Newsletter carries a preview, plus a whole lot more. Sheffield sitting pretty on top of table, Grajczonek & Garrity coming in won't weaken them much. Bandits: 1. Ben Barker, 2. Hynek Stichaeur, 3. Kevin Doolan (captain), 4. Thomas Jorgensen, 5. Claus Vissing, 6. Alex Edberg, 7. Luke Crang.Tigers: 1. Josh Grajczonek (guest), 2. Andre Compton (captain), 3. Ashley Birks, 4. Jason Garrity, 5. Ty Proctor, 6. Josh Bates, 7. Arthur Sissis. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 close one Tigers to sneak it if Ben has a mediocre night,really need him to win the big Heats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EIS002 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 gutted Bellego won't be riding and I know he was looking forward to this fixture. Josh G and Garrity should be good replacements and I hope the meeting is a close one. Safe meeting for all Come on you TIGERS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerite Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Steady and Bellego will be impossible to replace around Shielfield, but hopefully Jason and Josh can do their best and the other Tigers can continue their brilliant form!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree about Stead and Bellego.Josh is decent round Shielfield though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Josh G form at Berwick last season was a bit patchy. Jason did not ride Berwick last season. If we had Steady and Bellego I would have been more confident, but I am going to stick my neck out and say a narrow win for the Tigers.

Would think Garrity would get some decent points if he stays on the bike,seems to be improving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenga Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 i think sheffield will get some good points from scrabbleman as he wont be riding to modify his average..( lower it ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCookster Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 With nobody aside from Graj in the Sheffield line up who has a good history (or any history) at Berwick, I suspect this should be a comfortable home win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Berwick don't do comfy home wins generally, usually not much in home meetings and could go either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAMYAMBANDIT Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Berwick don't do comfy home wins generally, usually not much in home meetings and could go either way If ! , all the equipment is back up and running, think we will have a home win but a close meetings. If Stead & Bellego had been riding we may well have lost this one. Perhaps the VIP club could chip in to help the riders in difficulties, the same way that the Supporters Club are doing, instead of taking their members on a 'Jolly' to the races.

My concern is do the riders have the equipment and back -up to support themselves when taking all these guest bookings ,these extra bookings could be taking their toll on the equipment ,then our fans will be asked for the collections.Only last season we had a rider who was saying his equipment was not up to scratch!!!!

I think that is a little bit of a "Catch 22" scenario. Clearly every additional meeting (including guest bookings) will take its additional toll on a rider's equipment, but by the same token, the guest booking will also provide additional income that should help the rider to become less dependent on financial support from other sources.

I follow your jist, surely it is up to the management of the club, a) to make sure each rider they employ has equipment fit enough to fulfil it's role , when they relaease them to ride for another club it is not at detrement to the parent club, I think that is a little bit of a "Catch 22" scenario.

Bang on, it is a catch 22, and at the end of the day they are self employed.

topsoil Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Big personal disappointment Stead and Bellego not riding, would have really looked forward to their clashes with Bandits top 4. Stead v Barker (when both fully fit etc.) is the type of clash that the Premier League should highlight. Bellego could be brilliant or ordinary around Berwick. Stead was awesome at Berwick last year. really like his riding style. Still a very close meeting call IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Angus Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 The poster who said "Berwick don't do comfortable home wins" certainly had it right! The loss of Stead and Bellego is a disappointment, but hardly Berwick's fault. Sheffield will be tough to beat, should be a close encounter. A guest booking will bring a rider hundreds of pounds and as a self-employed professional he will always take the money. No club can reasonably refuse permission for him to take such a booking. Clubs allow riders to jet off to Europe every week, and can't say no, this is no different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
