Steve Shovlar Posted August 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 As I see it we should have won. But Havvy howler of leaving Wright in and King going through the tapes in heat 9 cost us yhe win although there was no guarentee he could have beaten Brennan off gate 4. 12 of 15 heats won off gate 4. In the middle section they had gate 4 and beat us 16-8 off it. Add in Andersen at reserve and it was difficult, especially with Edwards at 2 and next to useless Wright at 6 getting an extra ride. Gate and go with perhaps three passes all night on the first lap. Could fill in program after one lap. Hope for a better meeting tomorrow regardless of score.

During Lockdown I watched plenty of old Berwick matches on YT and Complin and Makovsky certainly stood out.. So much so I wondered why there was talk of improving the track.. They certainly seemed to have little issue passing opponents.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbw Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 On paper Pirates shud av won and if you would like my experience of all things speedway I've been goin for 42 years, travelled the UK & Europe. Bandits did themselves proud & both sides had mixed fortunes with Havvy makin a reet couple of duff calls. Maybe he asked Hume to ride in heat 12, dunno.......riders do turn rides down, dunno. We can be quick to judge before we know the facts. Fair play to The Bandits, I thought we wud win by 10 tonight but we didn't. Move on........... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that cos they would have more 2 and 4 near the end of the meeting esp H13? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entrance and exit of the bends were narrow,so they took bit of the football pitch to widen them to try and make more racing lines ,unfortunately it’s not had the desired effect as there is still only one fast racing line when the track is slick.(which seems to be most weeks).Gate and go speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only see an away win with your lot having 3 ex Newcastle riders ( including 2 number 1’s) in your side plus Rory Schlein who has rode the track umpteen times and won individual titles there .. Hope to see you tomorrow and say hello 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted August 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 Just spoke to Danny King who said we should have won that. But he also said the gate 4 wins, 12 out of 15, made it so difficult on what is a track that is (almost) impossible to pass on. But we will have to take it on the chin and move on. Hopefully very soon we will go full strength then watch out the rest of the league! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
