BANDITS v MONARCHS (Saturday, July 10th - 7pm)


Recommended Posts

Here goes. Only one thing you can say about tonight. Outclassed on every level from start to finish. Outgated all night. That’s prob one of the best away performances you’ll see in a long time . Nice to see all the monarchs fans sticking around for the second half. If some of the main team had hung around they could have seen some other lines on the track by watching Greg Blair.that lad is pure entertainment. I’m sure there will be an inquest but that’s down to the manager .

Absolute shocker of a night, I don’t mind getting beat but to get beat with no fight at all is shocking!!, that defeat has been coming because Leon and Danny have carried that team since the season started!, out of the 7 there is only 3 riders who can be saved from that performance tonight, Danny and Leon because they have carried us and of course Kasper with it only being his first home meeting. Other 4 had no fight in them and looked like they weren’t bothered win -lose or draw!!, Kyle Bickley looks as if he has no interest in on being on that bike what so ever. I’m no track expert but to me it looks like there’s not enough dirt on it to provide racing and there’s no moisture at all in it, new track and new lines I don’t think so, riders are riding the track the exact same as the old one, Greg Blair was the only rider that rode near the boards and the only rider tonight that gave us any entertainment!!. Something has to happen after that!

Poor Leon was battered and bruised from last nights fall at Armadale which explains his performance tonight. As for the rest of them, no excuse, Dany excepted. 
Weathers drops a couple of points from 6 rides with Newcastle last week, scores 3 tonight. Go figure. 
Etheridge is becoming a major problem. Wasn’t scoring at 3 and well out of his depth at 1.

Virtually guaranteed an away 1-5 in heats 13 & 15

 
If you’re thinking of putting a side like this out next season then don’t bother. Just close the club down or drop down a league.

Wow!!!! Simply wow!!! 
I was sitting earlier thinking this is my 20th solid year following Berwick.. I had a few years in and out in mid 90s… but Jesus Christ that was the most disappointing performance I think I have EVER seen!
Nowt can be said about Leon… he had a rough come off last night and looked to be suffering a wee bit tonight but that laddy has carried our arses this year… he’s rode with pride wearing his colours and if everyone had the same attitude as him we would be laughing…

But jeez… 2 heat wins all night … nah! Pure and utter piss take that!! We were 2nd beat in every department tonight! Something has to change!! Try and salvage some pride from this… just try!

Etheridge been going fairly well for BV and utter dross for Berwick. Summers should be gone tonight.

Totally agree with your last paragraph. Nobody expects the club to be bankrupted attempting to win the league but whats actually the point in putting a team like this out year after year.

Well done to Monarchs outclassed by a side wanting to win.Quote of the night from that clown Barrie.” Most dominant display by an away team he has witnessed,because Berwick are not a bad Team” Really!!!!!
As*e licking of the highest order award.:rolleyes:

PS

That won’t be last home defeat this season IMO,but as long as the crowds hold up and they buy plenty of cheap booze we should be OK.

Said before meeting began we would get beat ,but didn't think we would get battered like that,worst performance for ages,as mentioned Leon and Kasper both took sore ones last night so are excused,the other five well they were just mince,fed up hearing about strength in depth, we've got #hit in depth something has to change (no idea how or what).If that was as Dick thought the biggest attendance hope it was mostly Edinburgh supporters ,can see the crowd falling after that,kudos to the away supporters staying back for the NDL challenge match.

Don’t expect changes,it’s one big happy family.:rolleyes: 
PS

I thought the track was crap tonight,but I’m only a paying punter who has never ridden a speedway bike.No doubt that’s how the Team wanted it done.Pity they can’t gate.:rolleyes:

Still can’t believe what I saw tonight.

A stroke of brilliance booking Drew Kemp as a guest. Thanks Drew.

All 7 riders won a race.

Shows the benefits of having a strong tail end.

Really pleased for Nathan

 

Says it all when Lawson can win a race beating our No1 and Danny G riding a lawnmower .:D

Enough about the result,  it’s not important,  how long did it take to run this meeting? 
 

I’m afraid the result is absolutely important. If for Berwick alot of fans dont return after last nights result, then the result was very important.
