Bandit59 Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) Never going to win matches with 4 heat winners.Captain Kev and TJ were on form, great determination from Coty and our new Swede both look to be good signings for the future,Rohan did not ride as well as last week.Great to see Liam also in the points is he riding in place of Hall next week,surely we will beat Rye House but cant see us progressing any further in the cup,as someone has already said on here it gets depressing leaving on a Saturday night after getting beaten week in week out.

Shadders Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 surely we will beat Rye House but cant see us progressing any further in the cup It'll be a walk in the park, believe me. Sadly that'll be your lot. Whoever you get in the next round will beat you over 2 legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeddiechek Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 White line fever. That`s brightened up my day no end and I thank you. Thank you. You have no idea how much your reply made us laugh! =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Thank you. You have no idea how much your reply made us laugh! =D No bother, though if we are measuring the scores on the old laughter scale, you win by far so congratulations. I thought you`d be off picking on other posts that dare to have an opinion that is critical of Berwick`s riders and promotion, but you choose mine. Then again I guess that`s what trolls do.

If trolls bother you so much it’s maybe best to stop the pedantic BS re spelling and grammar every time a statement is released….people in glass houses and all that.

sparkafag Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) You have to wonder with both the Berwick reserves who on paper look one of the strongest in the league not performing. I have been surprised that Bandit fans have not commented on Richard Hall's performances at Sheffield this season. Three meetings rode. Two as Guest rider for other clubs riding the reserve position. One for Berwick. 7 rides 14 points (Guesting for Newcastle) 5 rides 1 point (riding for Berwick) 6 rides 6 points and 2 bonus points (Guesting for Glasgow) 6 points from 6 rides is hardly something to shout about or the kind of thing to suggest a rider is downing tools while riding for one club but not another. I would assume Berwick fans don’t question Hall because it is quite evident the commitment is there, but at time the craft or speed probably isn’t. The craft problem has plagued him for the majority of his career and the speed issue seems to have crept in lately and plagued him at more clubs than Berwick eg, Redcar, Scunthorpe and Peterborough. He has settled into being what he is now, a decent 4/5 point reserve most weeks. The question is asked re why the likes of Hall and Edberg still have team places, the answer is because most weeks they outscore the other reserves which tends to swing meetings, the recent 13 point haul from the reserves v Rye House shows what a difference scoring reserves make. Berwicks 6 and 7 averages are comparable to most of their counterparts in the league, it is in other areas Berwick are struggling, lack of race winners, but when you lose your top two, one of whom punches above their average at home, it is difficult to compensate that with guests/RR. If the suggestion is that replacing Hall and Edberg with say Carr and Crang turns Berwicks season around, I am going to throw it out there and say it doesn’t, albeit Carr is evidently putting himself in the picture at least, but that has to be caveated by him having a team place last season and his form alarmingly dropping of, so much so that he faced the same questions from fans and calls for the axe that Edberg in particular is facing now.

To The Point Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Is Edbergs dad not still involved with the promotional at Berwick? NO As long as Daddy Edberg keeps handing out the money to pay the bills at Berwick Speedway the useless Swedish git will be trailing round for 3 laps on a Saturday night He no longer does Will he put in enough to cover the reduced gate money, as a result of Speedway Fans no longer attending? Dont quite know why it is just Edberg every one is picking on, both reserves are not performing, and generally apart from Kev and Thomas the team is not strong. R/R did most of the damage plus having to use quite weak guests as Claus and Ben are on quite low averages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will he put in enough to cover the reduced gate money, as a result of Speedway Fans no longer attending? These were described as attention seekers a while back, though that particular poster also was in favour of hoying out a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeddiechek Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Do as you wish, you`ll just make yourself look even sillier than you do already. Not very, then. Unlike a certain person who can welcome Aarnio to Newcastle, but not new riders to Berwick. Who throws a tantrum because he wasn't in the know with a new rider. Who made a disgusting comment about the gentleman that is Matty Wethers. Who constantly jibes at the club. Who pulled up a ridiculous typo from a press release that was announcing a new signing to the fans (a rider who looks to have a bit about him, incidentally). 6 points from 6 rides is hardly something to shout about or the kind of thing to suggest a rider is downing tools while riding for one club but not another. I would assume Berwick fans don’t question Hall because it is quite evident the commitment is there, but at time the craft or speed probably isn’t.

Hall just looks as if he needs a bit more speed. He rode well a Rye House, as did Alex. They are inconsistent, perhaps, but they are both capable of winning crucial points. Tough second half of the season so far, and entirely down to bad luck. I think we'd be looking at 3rd 4th at the moment had we not lost Ben and Claus. Good to see that crowds have been reasonably strong the last few meetings. So important if the club is to survive that the fans turn up, and it look as if they are coming out and supporting the Bandits in good numbers of late. Long may it continue. You shouldn't post things like that, think of the silent majority. These were described as attention seekers a while back, though that particular poster also was in favour of hoying out a few. Really, Mr Monks, what a pointless post. Adds nothing to any conversation. I have no idea if any of Alex's family are involved. To be honest, it is of no interest to me who is involved in running the club. I supported the hard work of Peter Waite, of Lynda Waite, and now John Anderson and George Hepburn. It's been my club since the 70s, and that is who I support and I'm grateful for all of the above people for keeping speedway alive through it's toughest time financially. If there's anything wrong with that: then, I truly am a silly person. Edited July 20, 2015 by bigeddiechek 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
