damosuzuki Posted April 14, 2018 Report Share Posted April 14, 2018 Have to agree, after the poor weather lately, this really kicked the season into life. Big crowd were treated to a great, close meeting. Some awesome racing. Kevin Doolan has to get credit, put in two brilliant performances. Tonight was just a rollercoaster of a speedway meeting, helped by Berwick being warmer than it often is in July Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no doubt he will.. Bloody hell, it's only his 1st meeting at home this season. Main thing seems to be yet again people have gone home happy from a night out at Berwick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit59 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 What a way to open the season with,well worth the wait that must have been the biggest crowd for a while so thanks to the hoards of Glasgow fans think everyone must have enjoyed that meeting which was also well managed time wise.Was looking forward to seeing Bomber ride and he didn't disappoint,glad to Summers get his bike sorted out,Buskie looks like a man possessed never gives up glad we brought him back,what can you say about Captain Kev great credit to the team.On another note think Granty must be a millionaire after last night always a line of punters.Is there any chance we could get a speaker up near turnstiles please ? More of the same next week please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted April 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Only one thing I have to moan about...They knew it was going to be a big crowd as Glasgow always bring loads of away fans and credit to them for doing so it creates a great atmosphere but why only 2/4 turnstiles open to get in until they opened the big one at 6.55. Great meeting and well worth the money though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSC67 Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Good to finally get the season underway , and a cracking meeting to kick off with . Tigers look like they will be a match for most teams they come up against very solid scoring throughout the team. Pleased to captain Kev in among the points and also good to see NBK actually complete a meeting at Shielfield . Wasn't much between the teams and I think the two reserves cancelled each other out . Really good to get the meeting finished at a decent time and it didn't really seem that they where hurrying it through . Big congratulations to all involved in the new look programme ( or match-day magazine ) , all in all a positive start to the season which is the main thing , hopefully another decent crowd next Saturday night and another home win .

topsoil Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Nice little touch as well, to introduce the juniors to the crowd during the interval. It gives them exposure to the crowd, a little boost for them and fills the time in as well. Good to see Leon riding last night. There were a few youngsters round where I was going daft because he was racing. It just shows you the potential pulling power of having local riders in the team, who are identifiable and and who the fans can relate to and how important the training track is to all this.

Another thing needs pointed out is that anybody can enter through the " consessions gate "at speedway" it appears to me the it is only relevant to football.If this correct perhaps they need another sign up.

bruno Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Thoroughly enjoyed my first trip to Berwick and my first meeting of the season, what a cracking heat 1 to get the season started. Worth the admission money seeing bomber blasting round there. Will definitely get back there but it's a bit of a drive!!!! To say the least. Said to my brother in the black and gold it would be a dream to have this set up. Not sure if we should have helped our self to the sandwiches but they were very nice.Also saw Cribby was a bit of a hero in his time there, must admit couldn't remember him riding up there. Shocking memory these days. Overnight stay in Spittals then onto Newcastle which was a decent night as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor wee souls were petrified. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
