Yeah , after seeing him in the u21 meeting at BV, i thought he would do well at Berwick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aces51 Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 (edited) Thoroughly enjoyed the meeting last night. Despite the rain there were many brilliant races. Highlights for me were Bewley showing the talent he has, it's difficult to remember that this is only the start of his third season of racing a speedway bike, Doyle showing his class as the meeting progressed, Nicholls at last getting to grips with the NSS track, Worrall showing he is ready to move up another step this year, Bjerre getting on the podium, even though he was riding his brothers bike and Jakobsen putting in an impressive performance in his first UK meeting. Non racing highlights were seeing Chris Morton back at the NSS and getting a deserved good reception, Brenda Craven presenting the trophy to Doyle and a good size crowd creating lots of atmosphere and clearly enjoying themselves. All in all a worthy memorial meeting for the best ever English rider and a fitting 90th anniversary celebration for the only club in the world to have raced every single year since 1928.

He obviously won it last year and has a fair bit of history with belle vue anyway, it seemed a bit odd he wasn’t originally included considering some of the names who’ve been announced. Kenneth said last night that he was originally due to ride in Poland but the meeting was cancelled allowing him to ride last night. Peter Collins was invited but didn't attend. Lots of other former Aces were there and took part in the opening parade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a bit of the green eyed monster mate, especially from certain fans of a club renown for not bringing through young british talent. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the loudest cheer on the pre-meeting parade, and had loads of fans approaching him in the PC suite and saying how pleased they were to see him back, by all accounts. Sad that Peter Collins still refuses to pick his dummy up and end his petty vendetta. Awful to think that he is in danger of being remembered as the bitter and twisted old man he has become, rather than the dashing charismatic, most naturally talented speedway rider that he was. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have just posted about how pleased you were that Mort turned up, indeed it is great news. No need whatsoever for the derogatory comments about PC, why not just leave the fella be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may come across to you as bitter that's far from it, more like frustrated!! There are riders out there that never even got an invite, one being his brother Neil- an ex ace himself!! More like fair play to the man for standing up for his collegues that should all be treated fairly!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pro rider Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Actually he probably would have gone if invited, he still has a bike and I'm sure a lot of fans that appreciate the history of the club would've loved to see him have a ride but sadly wasn't the case.
