emilali Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 Think that result just emphasises whats wrong with Berwick. A lackadaisical effort when they really needed to turn up. That Berwick team has riders that have been going to Armadale for years so to go and perform like that is extremely poor. If this had been an Edinburgh side that performed like that I’m sure their promotion would have got torn into them, the Berwick lot probs took them down the pub for a laugh and carry on whilst writing the match preview for saturday night telling everyone how the Bandits are ready to thrill the fans with every turn of the wheel. Bring it on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit confusing IMO . As has been already stated, this arrangement has been in place for a few years now. The finish line is still in it's original position, but the starting gate was moved back, the reason being that the distance from the tapes to the first bend was considered too short, resulting in a greater likelihood of first bend pileups. I would add that all teams & riders are made aware of the this, and as most teams do a pre-meeting track walk, they should also recognise the set up. Wimbledon was the first stadium that I visited in the 1970's that had the starting gate located several yards behind the finishing line, but there may also have been other tracks who had a similar layout.

The guy standing on the finish line with a flag, should be a big enough clue as to where the finish line is 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Plymouth was/is the same with different start and finish lines. So the ref is in line with the start at the beginning of the race and the finishing line at the end of the race does he walk to the other side of the referees box during the race?

havenagotahope Posted June 30, 2018 Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 if Spud and Doolan still here next week then after 45 years of watching the Bandits that’s me finished. Spud has to be the worst No1 we have ever had wearing a heat leaders jacket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
