Mr Blobby Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Be okay at home. Away from home however could be a few heavy defeats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay at home with heavy defeats away have summed up Berwick over the last few seasons, in essence its Doolan out Bickley in and IMO we are poorer for it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaky11 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Very unsure on that team think Bickley and Flint are great reserves, Berwick have done well there I feel the weakness lies in Gappmeier, good performer at home but weak away and when you’ve got 1 point to play with without reductions that’s where I feel Berwick should have strengthened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) Great team just the sort of side that will re-ignite the passion and desire of the local populas. Are they seriously going to charge £17 for this in 2020? Edited November 24, 2019 by Robinh88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandits4eva Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Dany and Coty are really gonna have to step up in the top 5 both home and away this year! We had the benefit of Coty at reserve in 2019 and even then he struggled some meetings... yes, he had a brilliant end of season meeting in the double header but we are going to need that every meeting next year! Dany... he himself knows he needs to perform more on the road.. struggles at the smaller tracks/most tracks for sure... and Kent are coming up next year.. oh dear! Good young English reserves which I am happy with though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so sure about Home either, but that Team will struggle away from home IMO.The fans have aTeam to support though and that is a bonus.There will a bit of pressure on the reserves this season .

emilali Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) Only Berwick would sign Bickley who openly admitted in an interview before a meeting at Berwick last year that he didnt like the track as it was impossible to pass on. If he was really any good Glasgow would have chucked money at him again, impressive work. I’m sure everyone will be in a frantic rush to get their season tickets purchased to watch that 7 every week.

allthegearbutnaeidea Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Been hard not to vent my frustrations these past few days about this line up but now that it’s out... w t f are they thinking about???? Garcia and Gappmaier in the main body away from home? Seriously? If we get an away point this season I’ll eat my 2018 season ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) 1. Aaron Summers 2. Fernando Garcia 3. Danny Gappmaier 4. Jye Etheridge 5. Nikolaj Busk Jakobsen 6. Kyle Bickley 7. Leon Flint Hmmm, nice to see some young, local Brits at reserve... But I don't think I'll bother going to Berwick as a neutral next season... Like I have done the last few years... At least the wooden spoon is already sorted Looks weaker than last years team, even with the increased average limit... Maybe I'm just being harsh, prove me wrong... At least Summers and NBJ are ok... Edited November 24, 2019 by Dandelion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get an away point this season I’ll eat my 2018 season ticket Obviously Shorty and Tommy will be over the moon with the 1-7 but realistically whats even the point in entering a team if you are going to put a team like that out. Why not just go into the National league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alang Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 i would imagine the team has been built to a budget to try and keep the club financially viable.If the post on the Glasgow thread is true that they lost £100k again this season then good luck to them and others in a completely different world to Berwick and other teams with less wealthy backers.I would doubt if Berwick would survive with losses a fraction of that.The team had to lose points somewhere from this season to get down to the 41 point limit and it probably avoided wholesale changes with Kevin stepping down.I agree it doesn't look the strongest team but neither did this year's and they did ok.Cook also hates the Berwick track but does ok on it and although totally different quality riders you can't write off Bickley because he said he didn't like the track.I'm not defending the promotion as being faultless but in the real world you cut your cloth to fit the situation.In any case if if any rider is underperforming in a meeting he can always take a "comfort break" and Mr.Doolan can put on his kevlars and helmet if he's in the pits.Nobody would know. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve had reasonable offers to sell and turned them down... so not an excuse imo, if you’re losing money, sell it whilst you can? The team is over a point under the limit for goodness sake?

screm Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Berwick`s weakness over the last couple of seasons has been the lack of an out and out No1 who can win the majority of his rides both home and away especially in crucial Hts 13 & 15, Aaron Summers, NB Jacobsen are both capable riders but are not Championship No1`s. That weakness still remains and I am surprised the club haven't addressed that when putting this team together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
