Fromafar Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 He looked quick enough last night , and the effort was there , but as someone previously said , you cant give the likes of Richie Worrall , Lawson or Summers a start . But it wasn't just Bridger , Vissing started off like a train before fizzling out when it got to the tickly part of the meeting . Yip,looks a class act on the bike and no lack of effort but was like a snail out of the gate every heat.Summers impressed me last night.

Summers certainly had the bit between his teeth last night , his ride in heat 11 was probably the turning point of the meeting . And his animated after race celebrations got the large travelling support on the back straight fired up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevePark Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Perhaps some Berwick fans need to be thankful they have any Speedway to watch, win, lose or draw. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow fans seemed to be having a sponsored silence then came to life the last 5 heats good meeting and well done Glasgow 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Typical Kenny lol I was getting served at bar when you all started cheering thought it was for me buying a round not spud winning the race  That was a brilliant race , as was Gappmaier versus Lunna in heat 14  Certainly two cracking races, and there was a few more, I don`t mind losing meetings when the speedway is as good as we saw last night.  But it would be nice to win......sometime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normski Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 That was a brilliant race , as was Gappmaier versus Lunna in heat 14 That was a cracker, to be fair racing has been much better this season at Berwick all we need now is a win 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balderdash&piffle Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Lads & Lassies, lets get a grip. Don't agree with Dick and his many aliases, when it comes sniping about 'The Forum Fannies', they have an opinion and are entitled too it. I do however agree with some of his opinion in the programme about what we have now, just a pity didn't air his view previously when it had been so bad, I always believe in saying it even if some don't like it. Â 1. We have speedway 2, We have a much improved track ( been pants for quite a few seasons, of late) 3. We have at good crowds at the moment, may that support long continue, it had dwindled to what can only have been unsustainable. 4. We have had some of the best racing in recent memory, have to go back at least 10 years for this level of entertainment. Â I know we are not winning, but I have been entertained every week with some very good racing, certainly worth my entry fee. The team has a few problems at present, let's give the management time to sort them out, let's see if the riders problems can be solved before we start changes, knee jerk reactions are not always the answer. The way I see it, the riders that are having problems, if we dropped them, who do we replace them with, everything available is about the same as we have now, no top end riders, and certainly no bottom end riders. Â Stick with it Lads & Lassies, the management is new and on a learning curve, they will overcome the problems. Remember speedway so far at Shielfield this season, is better than you have been served in recent seasons. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Â Bridger has a very lucrative sponsorship with Revolution Racing who provide all his racing kit, I`d be surprised if he would want to jeopardise that by swapping to GM engines as he would probably have to start funding his own racing. Makes you wonder how old is the kit he is using. However if he has the speed, it may be a clutch issue rather than engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparks123 Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Felt sorry for Berwick they did not deserve to lose that meeting. Few dodgy starts  I didn't think heat 2 was the only uneven start either. Makes you wonder how old is the kit he is using. However if he has the speed, it may be a clutch issue rather than engine. I am sure he said at the talk-in that Jawa had done some development work in the winter. He also said that at the Kings Lynn practice he was one of the most consistent riders. Just needs to get out the starts with the other riders in the race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Bridger is incredibly frustrating as he looks like one of the quickest riders I've seen but can't gate for sh*t at the moment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
