It seemed to be ok for Redcar riders to jump in 9, 11(back wheel spinning), 13 and 14 (best jump I have seen for a while). I only noted after 2nd Berwick warning. Redcar were somewhat fortunate to win the meeting Garcia not leaving start in one heat and Flint losing chain I think on a sure 5-1 late on which would have out Berwick 40-32 up and almost out of reach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 So the unbeaten home record in the league is gone and the chances of making a play off push now very difficult. True to say fortune didn't favour Berwick especially with Leon`s fall in Ht12 when second and on a 5-1 but take nothing away from Redcar, they won and deserved to do so. Biggest turning point for them was Jordan Stewarts Ht14 win as he had done literally nothing all night and was off a graveyard of a gate one. Berwick`s inability of race wins proved their un-doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't having much luck with a work colleague (who goes with one of his friends) despite reiterating that the British champion was at Berwick and how often does that happen. Sadly four empty seats, now they may have a had another reason for not attending but at the very least and to use Mr Barrie`s new thinking it should make his next article the the Berwick web site an interesting read as in his last effort he was exploring the possibilities of transferring fans, or at least the nuisance ones, maybe we could look at doing the same for centre green presenters.

I wasnt in line for comments on starts but 'Sparks' made a point on jumps in earlier post on here last night. Heat 15 was ok though Good passes late race. I have to say track looked very good pre match. I travel about and take in Speedway here and there mate and only 2 tracks this season have produced top racing Belle Vue and Scunthorpe, most of others processional and boring so while folk moan on forums it same almost everywhere these days. Its easiest thing in world to criticise and rest assured I do it too but unless folks step forward and offer better solutions or even offer to come in and invest or take over or maybe powers that be could start something I think they did few years ago and do Track guy courses it is what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandit59 Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 It's a pity the same determination shown in heat 15 hadn't been replicated in the previous fourteen we were to easily brushed aside. Reading some of the Dirt articles just to balance things up we know who Clown Prince of Austria can beat now we know who he can't. As for supporters having to be at the top of their game I would suggest it is the riders who need to be at the top of their game. Finally the fact Berwick still have the same seven riders as at the start of the season IMO has nothing to do with the way they are riding but down to finances. If we ride like that next week God help us. Congratulations to the Bears on their win and good luck today as someone posts UTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
