You going Gemini? Josh Bates is back!

Lol. Not while he's in the team thanks. According to his remarks on Facebook he is going to carry on riding how he does and isn't going to 'calm down'  so there we have it.  On the other hand I think he did untold harm to Leicester Speedway with the way he rode the few hundred yards of heat 3 of the Redcar match  but you can't fix stupid and he obviously thinks he did nothing wrong.  I'd say a good percentage of those who decided to leave after well over an hour's hanging around won't bother coming back.

Oh dear, stalking him on Facebook now, lol. You should go along and shout abuse at him from the terraces, create some atmosphere... I gave Ole Olsen a dressing down he'll never forget from the 2nd bend at Blackbird Road many years ago when I was a young nipper. You've already missed the match of the season, he'll be out the club soon when they realise he's a liability

I am not that desperate. lol. Just happen to belong to the Leicester group that he posted on but he has plenty of adoring fans so I am sure he won't be bothered what I think.

Having already lost Jye Etheridge to injury Berwick were dealt a further blow when Aaron Summers had to withdraw today feeling the affects of the Ht10 crash from last night. Giving those facts its to Berwick`s credit that they at least put up the fight they did going down 54-36 so well done to the remaining five riders.

Either of the two riders dropped by Edinburgh might do a better job then Garcia is at the moment.Berwick do have a history of picking up riders dropped by Edinburgh,treating them well and helping them improve after all.

Expensive to fly in every week though. Garcia should be cleaning up at reserve but for whatever reason its not happening.

Where do Berwick find the money to afford these changes?

Better from Gappmaier, and also much better from NBJ who struggled at Leicester in the Shield semi, Dool done his job well, question marks have to be put on Garcia’s future surely? He’s just not doing the job considering average wise he is the strongest number 6 in the league just about... 

Wouldn't disagree with you regarding Garcia, he has flattered to deceive at times though the bottom line is he has improved his average and thats all you can ask for.

You'd think they might do better, with averages of 6.42 and 5.91 respectively!

Club asset Coty Garcia is currently on 5.20 -- having (as Screm has gently pointed out above) increased his starting average.

Bandits are above the 40 points, any changes would require to be like-for-like.  

After Saturday's win, these words were spoken in the Black & Gold:    "Dany's maximum will hopefully shut the moaners up for a wee while, but all that'll mean is they'll start turning on Coty instead".

Didn't take too long, eh?
