Reviresco Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Took a walk round into the grandstand after the meeting to sit and watch the junior racing and saw Stuart Robson, Kevin Doolan and Liam Carr all posing for photos and speaking away to the young supporters, brilliant work. That's really good to hear about the riders. Something that used to happen 'back in the day' and seemed to be dying out. Especially LIam Carr, who has a meeting the next day for Coventry Storm - Oh, hole on a minute, that was at the NSS against Belle Vue Colts and, of course, has been postponed . Silly me. Good to hear that Berwick seem to have put a decent 1 - 7 together and the track has produced some entertaining racing. Maybe it isn't all doom and gloom in British speedway at the moment - well, apart from at Edinburgh maybe, after their performance at Workington. No comment needed eh, Scotsman . Hope that the entertainment continues for you guys. Always enjoyed visiting Berwick, back to Wayne Brown's time at the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandits4eva Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 I hold my hands up.. Thank you Simon Nielsen...and cheers to Robbo too on a very good return from No.1. Hopefully not so good when you come with Rye please Sounds like a fair result overall though.. And I too must admit my pleasure at seeing the score at Workington 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawajoe Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Lucky garcia turned up. Weegies humped otherwise. Not sure how we got on at Berwick last week? More to the point lmao, How did you's go at Workington Hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit59 Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Must say the best meeting at Berwick for ages on and of the track,plenty of GREAT racing and plenty friendly banter.Well done to our guest riders both of whom performed better than i expected,Theo had an of night but hes been outstanding so far still not sure about Anders seems to be lacking power.Glasgows big guns did what was expected,always thought Coty was very unlucky last year with slow engines very good last night.Danny last night never seen anyone try as hard as him for his 1 point deffo one for the future.Everybody knows i like a moan on here i agree with the ref when he put the 2 minutes on before heat 12 and had to cancel it for the Tractors after 2 races surely could have waited till after heat 14.Both sets of riders and fans made for an EXCELLENT nights entertainment draw a fair result Haste Ye Back 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Great meeting, best Hone meeting in a while, congratulations Glasgow, if it's not going to be us I'm glad it's you's lot and not our rivals in the centre of us, thank you Simon Nielsen and Stuart Robson! much better guests than the Fish was on Sunday, you should never trust a moanarch. Glasgow fans were brilliant and lots of friendly banter, Mellgren for me is a let down, if he says he's out for a month why does he come back after a week, was obviously either not fit or not with it, he can gate well but doesn't seem up for racing, just riding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Angus Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Full marks to pits people. Despite Glasgow running r/r and utilising Coty to the max, the whole match was finished in 90 minutes. Track preparation was great, evidenced by Stuart Robson recording fastest time of the year and the amount of passing, and after the football was on, too. Glasgow supporters in fine form, matched by Berwick's third bend crew. Just a great night out at speedway. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSC67 Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 On what was another cold night , it good to have the meeting pushed through without any major incidents or delays .Great racing throughout the meeting. For Berwick a big thank you to both of our guests top performances from both , an off par night from Theo & Kevin didn't hep our cause and it looks like Anders is still a bit off the pace making the same mistake twice when under pressure didn't help his scoring , hopefully when he's fully fit we'll see a different Anders . Seb doesn't seem to be firing on all cylinders yet although there where some signs last night of the old Seb. Richie was a big miss for Glasgow and if Coty keeps putting in those types of performances it wont be long until he's in the main body of the team .So with the league cup and " friendlies " done and dusted and all the cobwebs blown off its time to get down to league business hopefully with 7 fit riders on track .

Mind you, not many outside the London area knew where the hell our old track at Rayleigh was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster00 Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 A really good meeting last night but I think we probably should have won it, how Simon Nielsen only had four rides is beyond me considering Liam was having an off night by his high standards so far this year and Anders is a shadow of the rider he previously was. Robbo was superb I don't think TJ would have won the races he did tonight, Theo looked like he was lacking power tonight, Seb was Seb and probably had his best meeting of the season he's a true enigma and Kev was his usual solid self despite only scoring 7. I think Anders is just about finished he's a shadow of he the guy he was a few years ago it's understandable considering the injury he suffered and it's a shame but I think we need to make a change. All in all there is plenty of positives to take from the League Cup especially the win at Edinburgh but I think we could have had a shot at progressing from the group with some better decisions last Sunday at Glasgow and also last night.

Paulco Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Really enjoyed last night's meeting , best I've seen at Berwick in many a season . Aaron trying to shepherd Coty around with Robson all over him was the highlight , it didn't work in the end up , but it was a marvellous effort . Looking forward to returning to Sheilfield in June 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
