Congratulations in the following order:-

1. To the Bandits who adapted to the conditions right away & gave the home side a gating lesson over the first seven heats to build up a 16 points lead which was sufficient to ensure a final 6 point victory, despite being unable to win another heat over the remaining eight.

2. To the ref & the riders of both sides who were prepared to delay the start till 8 pm and then served up some decent races, including a memorable heat  13 contest. .  Special mention to ref Willie Dishington who kept proceedings running smoothly tonight, and also at Ashfield on Tuesday, completing both meeting in under one & half hours:t:  

3. And last, but not least, to the track staff who incredibly managed to produce a decent racing strip after more than 12 hours of intermittent heavy rain beforehand, culminating in another deluge just before seven.The fact that they salvaged an apparently lost cause in less than an hour, was I believe, appreciated by those present and at least offers the Bandits the opportunity to stay in the hunt for a Play_Off place. 

 

Good post totally agree with all the above

Mr hunter takes great delight that the bandits only took 3 points and not 4 , is he the  most biast reporter the sport has ?

To be fair it’s a very fair and gracious match report, although the use of the word ‘we’ should be banned from the website of any professional sports team/club.

What an arsey couple of posts. What percentage of the Edinburgh support do you think live in Armadale? 

It’s just being respectful to your opposing fans to provide weather updates when someone asks for god sake, doesn’t matter anyways, we came, we saw, we conquered, pumped off your two local rivals in the space of 4 days and one was at the fortress. 

Mr Anderson I thought you won the league last week? Now you’s arn’t even in the play offs? What went wrong? Embarrassing collapse

Congratulations to Berwick, their riders attacked the track from ht 1 and got the result they deserved. Theo was the trump card

Plaudits to the track staff (I would never have believed it would go ahead having been there from 5pm) and to Willie Dishington for rattling the meeting through in an amazing time

I’m not having a go at our riders as, although they took too long to get going, they never gave up. Early bath for us but hey ho, that’s Speedway. KO cup time ........

Congrats to all concerned,but it does make you wonder why this effort to get the meeting on is not replicated sometimes in the middle of the season.Everybody knew it was last chance salon for both Teams,and the attitude was different from riders(or were they told to get on with it).The Posponed Berwick match earlier in the season the sun was out 1/2 hour after it was called off.Double standard from Promotions and Riders IMO .Well done to the Bandits.

If Berwick lose and Lakeside rained off or lose then Edinburgh are probably in the playoffs.

Wait until later on before celebrating.:drink:

No problem with the weather down south fortunately and no celebrations either.

But it is nice that they were cock sure well some anyway that they were certainties to qualify then win it , aint karma a bitch :D.

On a side note how good was it to see Jye Etheridge score well , just another wee reminder to ram words back down the throat of people who said them well done Jye.

We'll no doubt have to endure yet another show dominated by the thoughts and opinions of the narcissistic Graham.

Doubt Derek will get the last word in on anything. Not that he ever does.
