Why consistently year after year are Berwick Speedway falling short? Like or loathe the governing bodies, they give clubs like Berwick a fantastic opportunity to be competitive every winter. Why again do we have no real top end strength? Why have the club raised admission fees significantly for 2019 yet the management still persist with certain riders who have little to no improvement in them? Nothing wrong with mediocrity but if this continues I don't forsee attendances improving at £17 a pop. how can you comment you have never been for 5 years mmmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W9 Lion Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 AWAY FANS VIEW As one of the "Berwick Twelve" Lions fans I have to say Berwick remains my favourite away venue. Its not just because of Robert Smiths down the road either. I though this could be the meeting where the team could loose by ten points but I was proved wrong. Now granted, I have not been up while in a different division but you still have a clean and tidy stadium. I don't remember the slope going into the third bend being so big in previous visits. The thing that surprised me was that the track looked slick on the inside and to heavy on the outside early doors. Is it always prepped like that? Also your water truck appears to do a better job of cleaning the air fence rather than watering the track, Racing improved as they tried to drag some of the dirt down from the fence. I think the difference was the Lions were gating and rode a decent line. We have surprised a number of teams this season and if it carried on like it started we will win more away this season than in the previous eight seasons combined! Remember you still have a team to support and every club should have a black & gold club! Thanks for a cracking night out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly that is how the track has been prepared most of the time, slick on the inside knee deep against the fence, one racing line around the middle. If you are first out of the gate stay in the middle, race won. In short Berwick track at heat 1 is the same as most tracks after heat 15 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it's different. Gaters paradise every time I've been. Gate and your gone. Miss it and your quarter of a lap behind. With certain members of my team Newcastle missing the starts is simple.

What you on about? Hahahaha? It’s the same every week, awful racing, no passing, not just when Newcastle come, as if we would care about you lot enough to change the track? Only time we get good racing is down to individual riders with big cojones nothing to do with the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say why would Berwick be worried about us? Probably because you don't want to lose at home against Newcastle. With the way Newcastle are at the moment that is a bit of a slim chance. Generally to me always seems to be over watered when we are there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everyone's like newcastle and just throws a bit of water on last week's shale ten minutes before start time you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
