Which there wasn't any!!! (Not with Berwick anyway). Some Journalistic license maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we will find out on Monday morning when we find out who`s still in the KOC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had teams who just wanted to develop riders (mainly due to them having a main team and a second team - like the Diamonds/Gems for example) and you've got those who are stand alone (Mildenhall/Cradley etc) who want(ed) just to win the league. Anyhow - back on subject - any team news regarding Saturday? Steve it's unfortunately not the same as way back when,, as we now have riders in the MDL NJL & SDL leagues who could do a job in the national League & even some on the amature scene.. example ! On Saturday there will be our own josh embleton & berwicks Kieran Douglas well capable of doing a job in the national League but they just need a break !! But there again it all comes down to money as some of the national League lads are on top tuned machines which is hard for the development lads to compete with,, hats off to Redcar scunny for running amature meetings to try & help lads improve & also Dave Rowland for his training schools over the past few years that has produced a number of riders from 500 to 125 cc riders.. but we still need more help to get more help for NJL lads to the next level hopefully,,, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I would say though is the NL is now down to just 8 teams, so team spaces are limited. But you still have the likes of (and I'm not picking on these riders particularly!) Rob Ledwith, Paul Bowen and Ben Wilson, although, that said, it isn't as bad as it used to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinh88 Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Should be another cracking night with two rivals going head to head. Berwick have great strength in numbers but Newcastle probably have the best heat leader trio in the PL. If I had to put my neck out, I'd say Berwick to take it just over the 30 races. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topsoil Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 So many ifs and buts to this tie. I've seen Lasse Bjerre be brilliant and poor at Berwick, TJ and Matty Wethers could be big spoilers tonight, are Jye and Coty fit?, will Dany Gapp be jekyll and hyde over the two legs?, will Berwick have any backup to Spud and NBJ tomorrow night? For me it is a 50/50 tie. Decent weather today, hopefully big crowds for the two legs and a good cup tie atmosphere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 No problems weather wise, dry now and forecast to stay that way. Agree with the point about Newcastle cant be as poor as they were earlier in the season where Berwick won both at home and away, so Berwick need to improve to and with a team short of a rider and captain they have a job on to qualify for the semis.

As I've already said should only be allowed a guest for a Number 1. Just my opinion. Should not be allowed a guest for any team member. Starkey flying at Redcar last night. Unlucky in his last ride. Helped Steve Worrall big style. But he also had his problems in an earlier heat. Danny Ayres very impressive. Newcastle if they considered him for a team place or not I do not know but he didn't have a team place at the beginning of the season. Another to slip through the net?

Maybe Berwick can learn a trick or two from Newcastle who last season used a facility for a rider who was taking time out the sport despite the 28 day facility running out the day before (this costing Berwick a top 4 place). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
