comet49 Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 56 37, well done Berwick. Didn't expect us to win, hope Mason is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Fair play Jye Ethridge. When Edinburgh signed him he was rated quite highly but to say he failed is an understatement. Then Berwick signed him and I wondered why. But his scoring has got better as the season has progressed. 10 from 4 riding at number 3 is pretty impressive.

topsoil Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Being honest, that was the poorest meeting of the season racing wise at Berwick. The track was way too slick. First time this season I have walked away thinking the racing was quite poor. It reminded me a lot of some of the meetings last season. That said you can only beat what is in front of you and Workington didn't come close to what I thought they would, Cook apart. Ty Proctor and Jorgo both had one heat win, both against an out of sorts looking David Howe, who had one of his poorer meetings at Berwick this season i thought, which just goes to show how good he has been since signing. Maybe the slickness didn't suit him so much? Big pay days for Berwick riders tonight, really pleased to see Dany get such a big score, only beaten once, by Craig Cook. Certainly didn't see that coming. Jye and Captain Kev looked a good partnership as well. Three wins in a row. Chuffed for the promotion that things are starting to come together. It would be good to end the season with a run of victories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenga Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 now i know how peterborough fans feel . the management of our clubs have no interest in what is going on within the sport . looks like both clubs will close after this season , never to return . feeling pretty rubbish atm . . missing tomorrows meeting for famikly stuff . will i return ? who knows . fans voicing their opinion about riding order etc . looks like we are being run by a team of flightless birds who have their head in the sand . F.F.S. WAKEN UP ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Very poor from Workington,Cook apart. Bought outright for £500 I was toldYou would think they would tell the fans if that is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lucan Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Very poor performance, I was rather hoping for a point from this but to lose by 19 so, not even close is very disappointing? Losing Campton wont have helped much but there appears to have been too many lukewarm returns from too many that were left to cause Berwick too many issues, big payday for them, at our expense? Certainly not promoting ourselves at all and with the season for us barely into its second half it's going to be a long run in for a team running on vapour as far as confidence goes, this is not good? Cant say for certain we're on the countdown to oblivion but we certainly do give off that impression at this moment in time?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we enjoyed what must be our biggest victory of the season with Heat 1 giving us a real boost. About time things went well, the club deserves it.

Olga Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Cook was superb to watch and still rides Heat 15's when the team are battered - respect to him. Other than 1 decent race each from Jorgenson and Proctor / Williamson there was nothing. It was fortunate that Proctor and Williamson had a decent heat to deliver a 1-8 ... imagine the score without that lol The riding order of this team IMO is just wrong and has been for months. It should be Cook, Williamson, Campton, Jorgenson, Proctor, 6, 7. Proctor is hiding at 3 and Williamson HAS to be at 2. If Comets run next year Cookie should leave (bigger things for him) I'd keep Matty and let the rest go ... IMO this is the poorest Comets team I've seen in years. Name: Tonight:Next Season Cook: Excellent: He should leave Campton: Unlucky: Not for me ... I still don't see a rider capable of much more than he is / has been Proctor: Inconsistent (had an E/F at the tapes in one heat / packed up when last in another):No - not convinced and he is way too inconsistent Williamson: He's a trier: Yep he is on the up Jorgenson: Poor: No Sergeant: Very Poor: Never Who is our Number 7 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadders Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Agree with Topsoil. While it was nice to see the Bandits fans go away happy, for the neutral that was a poor meeting. I can recall only one pass, in heat 12. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 While it great to see Berwick winning again at home this wasn't the best of meetings mainly due to the slick conditions which make overtaking virtually impossible and also the delays before many races with tape touching, unsatisfactory starts and riders taking two rides on the bounce. Typical that just as our season is coming to an end that Berwick find a bit of form and are winning, still it might be something to build on for next season, very decent performances from Gappmaier and Etheridge. Bought outright for £500 I was told Good bit of business if true, though you would've thought that Berwick would make some kind of an announcement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This weeks article in the Speedway Star only says that both parties would be happy for him to return next year but it depends on weather we can fit him in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is correct that Ian is on holiday i really hope he is back next week that was terrible to watch back to processional racing.While a good win was welcome rather watch meetings like the previous two great meeting for Dany hopefully that will give him confidence and Jye would have him back next year.Good to meet Shads hope your getting settled in at least Berwick will have a texter now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no idea how you recognised me! I'm happy to text updates. Finding updaters is the hard part. Tried my best to fulfil both duties, but it's difficult on an iPhone with cold fingers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
