Gazc Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 my god , the woman's a failure . fancy not spotting that theo has already had an r/r ride . . but a great result for the bandits and it shows what can happen it you lose a prime rider from your team during a meeting and dont have the reserves to fill in for him . bandits missed matty . not too sure on the Courtney strategy there . Coty filled in admirably to cover for Richie it is away from home that it may be a problem hopefully both will be fit for next weekend. Anyway that was a long afternoon and the Bandits certainly pushed us hard but when it mattered the boys dug deep in all honesty Berwick deserved a point from this as they rode really well for the majority of that meeting. Cannot for the life of me work out what the Berwick team manager was thinking about put young Douglas out in heat 10 and keep Theo for heat 14 if that had happened then they surely would have got the point a major mistake by Courtney there. Good sign that we were not at the top off our game but still pulled through now one point required from either away match and job done. Hope both Richie & Matty are ok after what looked a horrific crash thank goodness for the air fence or it would have been a lot worse. No, by putting their number 8 as the R/R in heat 10 and leaving Doolan to ride on his own in heat 12. Leaving Pijper to take the R/R and Carr to have his 7th ride in heat 14 would of gave them a better chance of a point or even a win, but don't let your agenda get in way though. Correct one off the stranger managerial decisions i have witnessed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damosuzuki Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Great result and tbh after heat 4 (or was it 5) a good meeting with some entertaining racing. Absolutely FREEZING though. Thanks to all the Berwick fans who made the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 I`m sure Scott Courtney put his replacement riders in races for a reason, maybe on this occasion he made an error, but he is young with virtually no managerial experience. One things for sure, he will be a quick leaner, and if there`s any lesson to be learned for the future he will learn them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Was the track a little dodgy? Seemed a lot of fallsWas very slick . We got out of jail a bit today , got a helping hand by some eccentric team management from the Berwick camp . The falls were mainly riders sliding off at the back apart from the Worrall / Wethers incident which was Richie's fault , thank heavens for airfences though .

Popular Post tyretrax Posted April 17, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 What about Wells for Lawson,same scenario No1 not available guest employed! that's the way the sport is run. I don't think that guests from the same section should be allowed. A rider could score or not score depending on what would suit his own club. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rider could score or not score depending on what would suit his own club.Guests always lead to speculation when they have a poor match.Thats why the sport is such a farce when a rider can ride for several teams in the league ,nothing is going to change though.!

The incident then happened at the next turn where Worrall came in too hot under Wethers and couldnt make the turn as well as avoiding the rider. Hard riding and nothing more. Wethers is as fair a rider as you'll get, disappointing to hear that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catch Me If You Can Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Scott just took a bit of a gamble, and it didn't pay off. Can fully see where the Berwick Manager was coming from! He was surely looking to get enough points under his belt ahead of the last race. No doubt he and many others did not expect Pijper to race last in his RR heat!

A rider could score or not score depending on what would suit his own club. No such problem this Saturday if Jorgensen is still unavailable, as Monarchs will be at Worky. Berwick can get a guest up to 8.19 for the home fixture, such as Steve Worrall, Ostergaard, Kus, etc. Edited April 18, 2016 by cyclone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
