Sheffield v Berwick SGBCL 14/06/18 @ 19.30


Recommended Posts

Well... I know the track being as rough as a badgers arse didn’t help matters, but not the best meeting. Berwick were fairly woeful with pretty much  Gappmeir and Howe coming out with any credit - particularly Howe who after his crash was pretty much dragging his left leg when he tried to walk.

Nice to see Todd getting a max and I thought it was possibly Smith’s best meeting  to date (prior to him coming a cropper)

To be honest do you really think Bandits can win away from home!,it would be a real bonus IMO.

Maybe not , but when you have a reserve scoring double figures away from home you should have half a chance . Certainly when your number 7 scores 11 you should expect to get more than 32 .

You would like to think so , but not unexpected .Dany has really stepped up this season and Jye missing doesn't help.

Did not think they would win thought the score might have been closer,probably the same tomorrow night

I didn't expect a win, nor a point, but I thought Berwick could muster up more than thirty two. Credit to Gappmaier and Howe who at least showed some resistance but the others, well they will need to provide a better performance tonight at Lakeside than last night at Sheffield.

Well done to our 4 maximum men ,that doesn't happen often.There were a few good races on a poor track last night and a few nasty falls,I hope the riders involved have a speedy recovery.Its always the same after a stock car meeting.Cant see Berwick finishing in the top 4 ,it was a poor effort from most of their side.

Not the best of meetings tonight; track dusty and patchy in places which caught a couple of riders out. Think stock cars were here last weekend.

A win is a win and takes us off the foot of the table for now against a Berwick team I thought may have been better. Not necessarily win but keep us on our toes. A couple of Berwick riders looked disinterested to say the least.

Interesting to see the young Aussie Cooper Riordan having a fair few laps after the meeting. Wonder if he is one of the riders the promotion are looking to bring in. Looks pretty decent for his first laps around Owlerton.

Yes, stock cars were there on Sunday - the track is often a bit worse for wear after them, but when we share a multi purpose facility, I don't know what we can do.  Someone who is old enough to know better was moaning about it last night, saying why do they have them at Owlerton etc... simple answer is, they probably bring in more revenue than the speedway, however unpalatable that is. 

Without knowing what is going on in the background, a couple of the Bandits looked utterly disinterested from the word go, had it not been for falls by James and Jack, and Danny Gappmaier having a storming performance from reserve by the Bandits, it could easily have been 60 plus. Nice dilemma for the Tigers' management with 2 of the reported 3 under threat putting in great performances, and the other one not doing too badly either. Also a mention for Charles Wright doing some great team riding to help Jack Smith in the early stages of Heat 7.
