screm Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 HELLO, meeting tonight. Weather has been lovely the last few days, and is fine again today, so hopefully we will get more of the same kind of entertainment as last week. Berwick are back to full strength with the return of Jye Etheridge while Newcastle are using good old R/R for the injured Lewis Rose while Glasgow`s Lewis Kerr comes into to guest for Stuart Robson who pick up a hand injury at Redcar last Thursday.

Normski Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 55-35 to Berwick if they have same level of performance as last week plus bonus of having Jye back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSC67 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) I don't see any problems here this should be a comfortable win for Berwick , but we've been here before with teams we should be easily and sometimes have struggled and even lost on some occasions , but I'd fancy a 10 point win for The Bandits Edited April 21, 2018 by DSC67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauger65 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 given our best rider on Thursday was Doolan ..... I'm frightened to think what the score could be Berwick are a team we should be targeting at least 40 points ... after Thursday and with a weaker team .... 35 will be a challenge but I hope am wrong and we sneak a 46-44 win ................

jrs Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 It would be a nice touch if "Falkirk Bandit" got a mention tonight, and even better with a hard fought victory in a spectacular meeting that provides a suitable memorial ! I well remember his weekend ramblings on the forum after a few jars, they would put a smile on anybody's face. Thoughts are with FB's family and friends at this unbelievable difficult time. RIP Falkirk Bandit 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackofdiamonds Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) Fantastic win for the Diamonds tonight. Even though Lindgren and Aarnio had their problems, Diamonds were up by 20 points after heat 10. Berwick fought back in the last five heats, not enough though and an eight point win for the visitors. A real team performance and let's hope it continues tomorrow. Edited April 21, 2018 by jackofdiamonds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Well that was a surprise. Had some luck with Doolans score, but that could be cancelled out by Luddes problems. This was Ash's best meeting for us ever, and not really on his normal shape of track, but he is really looking good this year especially when you add in how he started at Redcar. Makes tomorrows meeting at Brough more interesting, and don't forget we also have a NJL meeting between the same teams so don't forget to stay behind and watch their meeting with two even teams. homer No comment on Redcar's result and performance at Lakeside last night ?

Got similar score to what Ipswich got the previous week or so , to be honest was not expecting much more , same goes tomorrow with at least two riders never having ridden there before , if kus turns up might keep it around a 10pt loss never do much at the dog track Edited April 21, 2018 by homer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to The Diamonds they where the better team on the night The Bandits couldn't get out the gate and where never in it to be honest . IMHO the scoreline slightly flatters Berwick. There will be a lot tougher tests to come especially next weekend and we'll need to sharpen up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about Kus but Barker still scores well, and a lot will depend on both Andersen's and Busch. Pijper the odd one.

topsoil Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 What a difference a week makes. Staggered at how we can beat Glasgow one week and get thoroughly beaten by Newcastle the next. Track was ultra slick tonight and when you add getting regularly outgated it spells trouble. Couple of really good races tonight, Doolan and Wilkinson, NBJ and Wethers, passing and re-passing, Summers with a couple of nice passes, other than that it was from the gate. As brilliant as Captain Kev was last week, he was poor tonight. Very impressive comeback from Matty Wethers, given that he didn't get a team place last season. Hope there is more grip next week or they really need to sort the gating out. On the plus side, another big crowd tonight, plenty of visitors, nice weather and meeting run at a decent pace, given a rider replacement.

That was in the Havelock days long gone them now , none are title winners , i would say Redcar have the better side as it stands ,but pretty sure Nicki Pedersen can be brought in from May on an OAP average 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
