New era Panthers Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) was he pi55ed when he thought of that signing ............ . Must have been ,National league rider would be a better option , I did mention he was a white line hogger and wouldn't be suitable on the bigger tracks when I first heard of him signing. I don't expect to see much improvement from him . Sorry Berwick fans you've not pulled a rabbit the rabbit has turned into a tortoise Edited May 7, 2016 by New era Panthers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone that knows anything about speedway at Berwick knows you can't sign white liners for Berwick well everyone apart from our management it seems.

Sorry for you fans having to put up with this signing , whatever are your management thinking of. Just a mystery to me ,I could name for you at least 8 riders that would do a much better job for you and at least 2 of them would be English and all 8 I would think available to sign , clearly your management have not been doing there homework.

It's super frustrating especially when all your closest rivals are all streets ahead of you every year. We are so far behind Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow when it comes to on the track. What I would pay to have someone like George English run our team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand your feelings and frustration Panthers are on a low ebb at the moment but we cannot fault Ged Rathbone's efforts he's doing a great job and is very ambitious to gain success but is being thwarted by the B.S P. A , when attempting to make changes due to a same day technicality . In the bandit's case it's a bit different as there still some middle order riders out there who would be an improvement for you all it takes is a bit of time and a bit of research, no disrespects to Henning Bager but he's a small technical track rider who lacked any sort of consistency in his previous spells over here definitely not suited to Berwick.

bringbackHalifax Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Good comeback from the guys and gotta say funny to see the sulking clown who drove the victory parade pick up truck as fast as he could round the track and back into the pits with our lads clinging on. Faster than some of the bandits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit59 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Agree with most on here poor from the Bandits Seb apart not a good meeting to watch this is whats going to happen every Saturday night when decent teams come calling we need at least 5 of our team to be on top form.Well done to Newcastle who with a full Diamonds team would have hammered us more IMO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 On the face of things a home defeat to a very impressive Newcastle team isn't all that bad, but the manner of Berwick`s defeat and the total collapse in the second half of the meeting is unacceptable. Ten points up at the end of Ht8, to go on to lose by eight takes a bit of doing but Berwick managed it. Weaknesses in the team last night were a No1 who only scored five and never won a race, the No4 position in the team that has proved to be a problem so far this season and an inability throughout the whole team, Alden apart, to get out of the starts which is a worry because on other threads I`m reading on our away meetings that our riders are out gating the home riders, maybe out track preparations need looking at so we provide a track where our riders can gate. Berwick have made a number of strides forward but last night was a step back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mauger65 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 Great fightback by the diamonds and unexpected as I thought a point was the best we could get. Got to say I must be unlucky I've been to Berwick over 10 times in last 10 years and 4 without newcastle riding ,.... and in all the meetings I barely see any passing .... and last night was no exception ... whoever gated won ... yet people talk as though Berwick is speedway track for great racing ... it's a one line track ..... unless Berwick gating improves they will find it tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 On the subject of making things up, how about getting on with your own knitting you haven't told me which way around you want the buttons on the cardy , male or female fastening. i guess its the female way . pm me for a design on the buttons .. ps. dont know if i can knit a skirt for you , sorry .

Positive Thinker Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) The early season optimism has completely gone. An awful meeting, no racing and a defeat just to top it off. Jorgensen needs to pull his finger out he's been poor all season and if he doesn't start turning up its time to get rid of him. Bager looked worse than Mellgren at least Mellgren could gate, Bager just missed the start and hugged the white line. It's time for Courtney to walk if he thinks Henning Bager is the answer. . Courtney's inept management has ruined our start to the season, this is not the first decision which has raised question marks for me. . He was garbage three years ago and he's only got older and slower. Anyone that knows anything about speedway at Berwick knows you can't sign white liners for Berwick well everyone apart from our management it seems. . It's super frustrating especially when all your closest rivals are all streets ahead of you every year. We are so far behind Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow when it comes to on the track. What I would pay to have someone like George English run our team. Ever consider the benefits of constructive criticism?
