It is what it is but i agree it is a shambles and my enthusiasm is at an all time low to the extent i can't be arsed going tonight which is unheard of for a Berwick trip. I’m the same enthusiasm rock bottom, also giving tonight a miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you were there last week and you thought you got your moneys worth. A track that was grippy in places, spongy in others, that rutted up on the bends, that had riders two wheeling in to the bends. All of these things meant the whole of the track couldn't be used safely resulting in a match that bore no resemblance to speedway we've enjoyed this season. Now this may be the norm for other tracks but we are trying to build our crowd by producing an entertaining evening. Just watch the videos on our Facebook page. Having ridden on the track rather than postponing all that happened I believe was the track needed more work than normal and that would require dry weather which we didn't get. The track staff posted photos late on Thursday and hoped for a dry night and Friday. It rained off and on till around 15 minutes after it was called off! Of course its dry and sunny today but surprise surprise rain is forecast for Tuesday evening and guess what is meant to be happening on Tuesday yes another home match. Are we p'd off yes and people sitting in the warmth of there home typing dog poo does not help.

I was their and i have to say i have seen alot worse on dry tracks , at the end of the day certain riders just couldnt ride a track that wasnt to there liking, as for entertainment i enjoyed the whole evening, starting with being told meeting delayed because " one of the scunny buses is running late" to the owner saying sorry to the crowd for getting beat and as a visitor i will be back . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have all seen plenty meetings on that type of track over the years.Perfect conditions in UK are hard enough especially in Sept/Oct. Cami Brown said it all ,the away riders adapted because they don’t know what to expect.The Home riders were caught out because the track was different to what they expected.Entertainment value is an opinion and that differs between fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your spot on about entertainment value and I suppose the trouble is those that don't enjoy what they are seeing just stop going rather than come on here and argue the toss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m afraid have lost the will to travel to Berwick tonight ,the entertainment factor this season is the worst I have witnessed at Berwick.That is only my opinion though,I’m sure plenty would disagree.Thats their perogative Edited September 7, 2019 by Fromafar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neila Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 Wonder why Glasgow are not trying to apply the rule they wanted to bring in last season regarding the play offs ? That a team that did not complete it's fixtures by cut of date, could not qualify for play offs !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
