dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 So pleased for Cam. There is so much talent there if he stays fit and wants it. He has started to show it again this season - long may it continue 👏👏 Just seen the tweet from Danyon congratulating the team and his mate JPB Shows the class of the guy despite his current postion. Thoughts are with you fella. Hope you can join the Massif soon and get back on track soon after 👍 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigeddiechek Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I couldn't make it, but for flips's sake, support your club.Get out there, back them, and they will come good. I only missed tonight as I couldn't make any other arrangements as at an (old) rugby club of mine. Support your club! That's what the rugby club does. The management know what is expected, and they will deliver: all the better if we support them!!!! In fact, I bet their expectations are higher than your average fan, 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Different team same result, I didn't go thankfully reading reports it seems I made the right decision as it as it seemed a case as a step back to the bad old days certainly regarding the track. We had a team with three reserves which wasn't working so a team with four is equally doomed to fail, thankfully we have a two week break from home fixtures so it will give the chance for the club to look and act on the season so far, everything from track management to team management. Clearly after today's meeting at Scunthorpe our averages will change leaving the chance for more changes to the team, something that needs to happen. I agree with manager Havelock that nothing is won at the end of April but if the club arent careful their season could be all but over by the time we get to the end of May.

It's all over now bar shouting in all honesty given we've lost 4 times at home and don't look competitive anywhere on our travels!! We need a major turn around if we're to get anything!

All I can say is it's a good job there's a wee break until the next meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not what Berwick need at all . Shame the track seems to have been bad last night , only a couple of weeks ago it produced a great meeting against Glasgow . Hard to see where Berwick go from here , obviously riders attitudes instigated the necessary changes , but the balance of the side looks all wrong . When you have a tail as long as that you really need your three top men scoring close to 40 points , no easy task . I hope things work out for them , last thing the sport needs is to lose another track , but home defeat after home defeat brings it's own dangers financially , hope they can turn things around soon . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing the line up I was actually in two minds about going last night and staying home and watching the GP , added to the fact it wasnt the warmest of evenings for hanging about feeling bored , but as the GP was almost as boring as the last night match I'm not sure if I made the correct choice in attending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRackBandit Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) Embarrassing product on show last night, christ knows what they did with the track for it to be so vastly different from previous weeks. Bridger looked to be on Joonas Kylmakorpi's gear last night? rode his arse off to his credit. Class grass tracking by him in heat 15.. immediately making him the best Berwick sportsmen to play on that pitch this season...What happened to the Patrick Hougaard patterr of last week? Was it Berwick rumours or we're we in talks with him? ... Hopefully when the averages change this week we can get a good team together at the third attempt.

Al Stewart Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I'm sure Berwick have not finished making changes. They have more chance than anyone else in the league to do so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balderdash&piffle Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Saturday was just embarrassing, especially after the fiasco the week before which was not the fault of the club, with one rider spitting the dummy and the other just not willing to ride.. For them to have prepared a track so badly is unforgivable, the person responsible, should either be re-trained or sacked. The track prep has been very good this season, the best we have had in the last 5 or 6 seasons, then they prepare a track that was bordering on being dangerous. Lets hope a big lesson has been learnt, and it will not happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I had actually contemplated going to this given it was the first day of a long bank holiday weekend and I didn't get a speedway fix on Thursday. Even though the Witches won I'm mighty glad I didn't go given the discussions about the track! I couldn't quite grasp from the comments whether they used the covers or not for this one but if they did how on earth can they get track prep so wrong?
