Popular Post Tsunami Posted May 9, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 . . . Ever consider the benefits of constructive criticism? Quite agree PT. Scott is new to the role of team manager, and needs to be given time to learn the role. He has already impressed with the track covers, track prep, training school, etc, and has to work with what Berwick can afford and who is willing to sign. There are many reasons why riders don't sign for clubs, just cos they fit the averages doesn't make them employable. With Scott you have a local guy, with his heart in the right place and trying to help Berwick speedway. I don't see a better man for the job, so getting on his back will solve nothing. Berwick has made some nice changes in the last year when your future could have been in the balance. A new promotion group, new ideas, a new TM, the covers, the future training track and yes a decent team, which was apparent last night at Brough. We are a good side home and away this year, with high expectations, and getting beat in both legs does not make you a bad side. You have had decent results, and you will more than hold your own for the rest of the year. Heads up and try and be supportive. Constant criticism and moaning with what you have got, so early in the year, is totally out of order IMO. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Scott has been behind a massive amount of the progress this year and I think he'll become a formidable TM in the near future. As you say Tsunami, without a doubt the best man for the job. Anyone who thinks otherwise either has a hidden agenda, or is a bit loopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The size of club Berwick are, they are never going to attract top earning riders. And I don't want to see them mortgage the future of the club just to sign a big name. Didn't do us any good last season. Defeats at home are tough to take I know, but good things have happened at the club in the last six months. Good young manager with a lot of drive and enthusiasm, new promotion on board. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster00 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) Plenty to answer to so might as well get on it didn't think I'd get this many peoples goats up. Totally agree Scotts work with the new promotion off the track as you point out like track covers and the training track has been fantastic and to Scotts post there's no hidden agenda Scotts a lovely guy and seems very passionate about the club. My personal opinion is he is struggling with the Team Management aspect of things so far as someone pointed out previously riders of Screenys calibre haven't been able to cut it as Team Managers and being a former rider doesn't automatically make you a brilliant Team Manager as some on here seem to think. We've had a lot of underwhelming seasons in the past where we haven't been able to cut it on track and have let riders get away with poor performances for far too long. We could easily head down that slippery slope now, I agree Newcastle are an excellent team but to lose at home to them and without Lambert and Kus was a bit worrying. I think Bager was a desperation signing rather than anything else as surely you guys can agree he doesn't suit Berwick. I want us to succeed as much as the next guy and we do have our financial constrictions I understand we are not Glasgow I'm just seriously frustrated with our constant mediocrity.

Probably because there arn't many temprorary signings out there, think Anders will be back when fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBSC Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 There are probably riders available but how many are willing to ride on a Saturday night track. I was quite impressed with Thornblum for the short time he was here but doubt if he would fancy coming back to uk. A fully fit Mellgren would score points just hope he is fit soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To The Point Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Cook has signed for Panthers. Then Palm Toft would have been a good signing, but I doubt he is looking for a short term contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then if we can have a consisatant track that suits our riders, would like to see the track back to when PW was there, teams were scared stiff to come to Berwick. Nowadays there is no FEAR FACTOR and the visitors reap the benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its called a home track advantage which is something we have not had for a while, some home track quirks can be worth 6-10 points a meeting. Its all well and good saying its fair for all and we see racing but we dont and a winning team is a well supported one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they are talking about him having the same injury as Claus did, who missed the whole of the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they are talking about him having the same injury as Claus did, who missed the whole of the season? Did not say he was brilliant, he was employed to ride at a set position, and he fulfilled that role well, doing the job plus a bit more that he was brought in to do, thats is all you can ask of a rider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
