Well done to Danyon Hume with an excellent paid 10 tonight. Good practice for this time next week.

Great performance. Got better each race he had.

If the ref couldn’t see wells fence kasper he needs to find a new job. Even the Glasgow fans at the 3rd bend thought it was a shocker . Thought the bandits fought well . Cook looked the part and to be fair wells was class until the incident. 

Seemed to be a trainee referee at that point (being trained by someone who was a trainee referee the last full speedway season we had).  Could you imagine going to a football match between Hibs and Hearts and a Sunday League referee appears for the second half.

Stood on back straight wells rode the same line on bends 3-4 every race soz but i thought anderson was at fault.

If there is someone else on your line you need to race a slightly different line not ride into the side of them and knock the rider off.

Firstly wish Jye and Dany speedy recoverys,but a tremendous effort from the other 5 can't have been easy for them knowing Jye was going to hospital.All deserve a lot of credit and tried their best , special mention to Danyon who was an impressive guest and the imperious Cookie good luck to Glasgow, will never know what might have been.

 

 

Hopefully Jye and Danny make a speedy recovery.

I photographed this from the pits and there was no contact between Ricky and Kasper

Hopefully Jye & Danny are ok. Replacements will be required for Brough . Danny seems to have been concussed so why did he ride in the rerun.

it was his ankle and knee that was giving him the problem he couldn’t put enough weight on it for turning the bike

Wells rode that line all night !

whats that got to do with it? If you’ve got someone you’ve just passed going into the bend, go into it with some caution at least, he had the speed, didn’t need to go out to the fence knowing someone’s on his outside, contact or not

Who was in front at the time ? Genuine question as I couldn’t make it last night.

From the pits you wouldn’t get the viewpoint that we did from the 3rd bend looking right down at it… whether he hit him or not he gave him absolutely no choice but go down…

If Wells was it front is it not up to the rider behind  to shut off if there is no room,  always had the impression if you were in front you dictate what lines you ride.

Some conflicting views on here but I suppose different viewing angles can throw up different viewpoints.

Wells went under anderson on turn 3 , yes he moved out but he was in front anderson kept it on and ran out of room as wells was now up on the fence.which to be fair most riders were doing on turns 3-4 riding it like a diamond shape.i honestly think glasgow could have been caught if berwick had a full team maybe not beating glasgow but coming close.

Hope the 2 Berwick boys are okay. 

a lot of grit and resilience shown by Bandits tonight. Could have been a great Cup tie if events ht 1 hadn’t happened. Flint a big miss too.

Danyon Hume scoring 8+2 was a more than adequate replacement for Leon

All in all a good night 2 sets of fans enjoying the racing and a good crac on here next day thats what its all about :t:

There always is a good atmosphere between Berwick and Glasgow fans.

For what it's worth, from where I was standing on the back straight, it looked like there was contact between Wells and Andersen's front wheel. In the grand scheme of things it's irrelevant, Glasgow were going through anyway. Better effort from  Berwick last night, maybe it took two riders having to pull out the meeting with injury to galvanise them? But nobody was getting close to Craig Cook last night.

The racing was poor last night, very one line. There were a couple of races where Andersen and Hume were clearly faster than Sedgeman, but because he rode the correct line there was no way through. I thought the afternoon rain might have helped the track but obviously not.

Maybe I'm being silly here, as I have no experience of track preparation, but I can't see the point of seemingly taking dirt from the corners with the grader and dumping it on the back straight. Obviously I'm missing something.

Unfortunately track alterations have failed to improve the racing IMO,whether different track prep would make a difference we have to leave that to the experts.Like I have said before the riders have a big say how they want it IMO.

Yesh what was the point of dumping that big mound of dirt on the back straight ? We got two 5-1's after they done that , so we weren't bothered
