So it has proved to be, another great team performance from the Bears, especially as they are a 6 man team in all honesty. The play-offs must be a real possibility for the Bears. Well done, all of you. Its a good time to be a Bears fan. Just got to say the racing at Berwick has been like this for years. Difficult to pass. Miss the gate and that's it as proved by Jordan Stewart in his first two rides when he was at the back and looked like a total novice. I thought he had machinery problems even as far as being replaced in his third ride. Then in heat 14 made the gate and was a different rider altogether!!?? Also Erik Riss who was flying until heat 11. Missed the gate and at the back nowhere near the other 3. Kasper Anderson was the same looked totally garbage until heat 11 with Riss. He made the gate and looked a different rider altogether. To me this happens now at many tracks. Miss the start and because of speed of bikes most cannot pass. I was there as a neutral supporter but well done in the end to Redcar for the victory and for Shutting up Dick Barrie. Yet he still went on about going to Redcar and winning! Hahaha! No chance.

While Leon was very unlucky to loose his chain and fall ,he was lucky that MPT had switch line to try and pass him inside coming out off the bend and therefore narrowly missed running into him.Could have been nasty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair mate Berwick dont have a Belle Vue Redcar were ok but got lucky in Heat 12 A 40-32 lead would have finished them The track is what it is and until someone comes up with solution will no doubt not change. Problem is with lots folk the glass is half empty but that is a trait for Brits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will agree to disagree mate Thats good thing about GB You dont get locked away or disappear off planet for comments like couple of my friends abroad who I aint heard of for 2 years I will say again as my glass is often half full unlike majority of Berwick fans who post, Redcar were beaten if the score had been 40-32 after Heat 12. It wasnt and they won. But like all club forums you can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time. You should try watching the local soccer team They aint won since March 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Very much so. The altered design from upright to lay down seems to have not helped chains coming off or snapping. Could be also not helped by riders seemingly constant search for more power and speed? Hans Neilsen to blame!??? Hahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracks not really designed for speedway as in around a football or rugby pitch or in the confines of a greyhound stadium produce very little good racing unfortunately. Others that are purpose built produce much better racing in general. One track that may have changed this is Mildenhall. When I first went there it could have been first purpose built tracks for speedway. Then they put a greyhound track in!!! Never been to watch speedway there for years so don't know what the racing is like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most tracks in GB were built a around football pitches or Greyhound ,and produced great racing .Technology has overtaken the sport in GB and affected the quality of racing at a lot of these Stadiums .IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit59 Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Was an astute move by Bears management to put Woolley in heat 10 to free up Greaves for heat 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
