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. not seen tonight`s results other than this one , sure that`s twice Ippo have lost at home , did Pijper not ride for you lot at one point,think Mikkel could be okay if he gates , but who knows i will go for a Kus 15pt max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be a good fast rider but really disappointed with him on Thursday at reserve. Think we have used him as a guest not so long ago. Tomorrow we will see if Mikkel was just a flash in the pan on Thursday, or if he is better that our old asset Jonas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homer Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Having watched them both ride in the danish league i think Mikkel is the better of the two , its just how he he adapts to the british tracks especially Newcastle which is a breed all on its own 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairplay1 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 First time I have attended the Speedway for a long time but it will be a lot longer before I go back , That tonight can only be described as total complete garbage and a complete waste of 15 quid the fact that other people were with me was the only thing that stopped me from leaving early . Entertainment value was NIL... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairplay1 Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I am never botherd about the result to be honest but I really dont think that was harsh it was totally honest I was ready to leave at heat 6 definately ranks up with the worst meetings I have ever had to suffer and I have been to plenty meetings over the years .. Like I said zero entertainment in my opinion.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entertainment is all I want the result is secondary , yes a win is a bonus but was totally bored out my mind last night, I like the Lads who are promoting at Berwick and hope they get things sorted Scot puts in a lot of work so deserves it .. Ah yes Scunny have been to a few meetings there and never been dissapointed with the Raceing if only Scunny were that bit closer..

Bandit59 Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 What a bitter disappointment last night was after the previous week did not expect that.Agree with Fairplay think a lot of people felt like going home early,was torture to watch early on beaten out the gate they will need to be sharper next week.Congratulations to Diamonds on their win Morris was good and good to see Matty scoring some big points.next week it might be Lakeside hitting 50 points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they weren't last week when they beat the all dominating Glasgow Tigers. Course they could have been riding against a better gating side last night, it happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see Summers, NBJ, Howe all searching for drive round the banking, but nothing there. Hopefully next week the track will have a bit more grip on it, like the Glasgow meeting, because, if not, I fear for another defeat with Lakeside here.

Entertainment value was NIL... Fair enough, as a contest it was well over at the interval at 20-40. Although Berwick did 'win' the last five heats 21-9! But define 'entertainment'. Do you mean the team losing, or more than that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge engine blow when third (paid 2nd) in his second ride. That's two engines confined to the scrap merchant this season already. Missed the gare and a poor 3rd on his 2nd (and blatantly slower bike). 2nd in heat 13 (the HEAT LEADERS race) ahead of Berwocks No. 1. Chain break which put him head first into fence on bend 3/4 in heat 15 when 2nd. Could have easily hit double figures last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one of my better predictions fair play to the Diamonds especially Ashley Morris & Matthew Wethers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Very few people taking their places at Shielfield last night would have predicted what was about to happen, but take nothing away from Newcastle they thoroughly deserved their win and had Berwick not finally got into some kind of form in the later races Newcastle`s win might've been all the more convincing. Gating was vital last night and the away team were far better in virtually every race and with track conditions ultra slick passing was always going to be difficult. Hopefully for Berwick this performance was a one off, and it might be a blessing that it was in a non league match that saw such a poor night for normally reliable riders. I guess we will get some answers next week against a handy looking Lakeside team. Thank you and well done to Dick Barrie on a perfect tribute to the late Ivan Mauger and letting us remember Berwick supporter Martin Hastings. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
