While he was doing the donut after heat 15, I remarked that he was showing us what he scored at Armadale last night Edited May 4, 2019 by Shadders 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent girl Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 But 95% of a home crowd don't know, or care, what happens on the road. They only see an absolute star, beating the likes of Cook and Wells every week! So Dany, infuriating as he may be, has to stay as long as he top-scores, and wins matches at home, week after week.... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topsoil Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Having been on the wrong end of Edinburgh more than a few times, that was sweet tonight. An extra meeting to look forward to now and a big night for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Adam Allot at Kings Lynn in the mid 2000’s. Heat leader at home, number 8 away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Najjer Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Simon Walker was another like that at Somerset. I think one season he was upwards of 8.50 at home and about 4.00 away from home. He would ride round the boards and beat anyone at home from the back quite often too and was great to watch. He became a real fans favourite because of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair with the watering down of the averages again, any team that isn't performing as expected it will be very difficult to do anything until the team average goes up in June.

Couldn’t disagree with a post more, what sort of ambition is that? What would you prefer Someone scoring 12 from 5 at home in 55-35 wins and 0 from 3 away in 49-41 defeats Or Someone scoring 7 from 4 at home in 50-40 wins and 5 from 4 away in 46-44 wins? I know what gets you more league points and trophies. You’re still winning on a weekly basis at home? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no your back dividing up people into fans and supporters, anyway that`s rubbish. With these new fangled things such as social media and internet it is easier than ever to see and scrutinise our meetings home and away and see what riders is scoring what, if you think people are only interested in what Berwick do at home then you are wrong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a good point here, but surely your percentage is a good bit out....there are certainly many at all clubs who couldn't care less about away fixtures.....or where they are in the league.

eide67 Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Last minute decision to go last night and after two heats thought it might be a good choice. Next 6 heats were thoroughly depressing. Score flattered Edinburgh as any luck came our way. Don't like to criticise riders but Sedgy was very, very poor for a rider of his experience. The rest were trying hard but usually not making good enough starts. Was very impressed with Leon Flint with good passes on Josh and William and, as ever, enjoyed watching Matty Wethers.

Fromafar Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Think a lot of fans were thinking Sedgmen was a big gamble,but the ridiculous low Team averages have big part to play in recruitment of riders.Berwick fans criticism of signing Danny G need to realise that they have 4.84 rider who will be good for 10-14 points at home most weeks which is more than be said of other riders with similar average.Admittedly the track and his gating give him a big start.He is really poor at most other GB tracks.

Berwick won 21-15 (it was announced as 20-16, but later corrected). Some spirited races for minor places between Blair Smith and the Millar boys, while Freddie Fox-Baron had a paid maximum from the young lads' races. As ever, good entertainment for those who stayed back to watch. The future's bright! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing how the parents of these young boys sacrifice so much for their kids. I’ve done that journey many times and it’s not pleasant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
