So would we have to have a new set of rules in the rule book serious injury = unlimited time. Doctor looking at rider = 30 mins. Riders shaken = 10 minutes. Spectator in crowd falling ill = 40 minutes. AirFence deflation = 30 minutes. Innocent riders machinery repairs= 10 minutes. The list could go on as how many meetings run over 2 hours if there is not an unforeseen incident Edited May 1, 2022 by KEITH M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very very hard earned point was the least that they deserved… had proctor not crashed id have been confident that that was a win for us 3 hours ago, enotian said: Hope Proctor is on commission for the scran van. Must have done a roaring trade today. Nowt else to do when you’ve got to wait for things to happen… £4.00 for a bacon roll I wouldn’t mind paying if it was filled but to open it and find I only got 2 rashers of bacon left me a bit riled… the scoops of ice cream weren’t really value either.. I won’t be that stupid again! 2 hours ago, Shadders said: A heroic point for the Bandits with some shenanigans from the Diamonds with George Congreve having “delayed concussion” after two rides and the referee being called to the pits after heat 15 to investigate Berwick complaints about Paul Starkes silencer. Yep… bloody terrific effort from all 5 Bandits left standing! Some funny shenanigans though… like you say.. the ongoing saga of the Wilson Dean “injury”… Congreve struggling and then “delayed concussion “… James Wright and his ongoing moving at the tapes… 2 hours ago, Bandit59 said: Great effort from Berwick a very well deserved point hopefully both riders not out for long. Hopefully not… least we have a break now.. time to heal and regroup! 41 minutes ago, Diamonds85 said: Hardly a fluke when our riders outscored your riders Your team struggled to beat 5 riders… well done! 22 minutes ago, Diamonds85 said: Bomber and Kyle then? Wish it was two replacements spoken to... not guests... After witnessing what I and many other Berwick fans did tonight, I’d be telling Flinty to make sure our riders accept no bookings at all for Brough! Yet again there were very experienced riders struggling on bends 3 & 4.. wethers and Howarth in heat 1.. Ty in heat 2… Clegg coming down on his own at the back on bends 3 & 4! And this generally happens every meeting I go to.. and I’ve seen a few at Brough the last 20 solid years I’ve been going! And before the usual suspects on here have a go… oh, “you’re just bitter you lost”… I ain’t.. I truly am not bitter…. I thought beforehand we’d get beat so to get a point was superb… but tonight made me realise how lucky we are at Berwick! Generally to stay safe you had to stay on the inside… what kept it interesting was the closeness of the meeting… it only came alive with a brilliant heat 12 from Theo and Kyle! And the carry on after heat 15 in the pits re; Starkes silencer… what’s the crack with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done! And we won fairly comfortably in the end, brilliant meeting with a last heat decider, would ask for that every week... Probably the 9 last places for Berwick and the 8 wins for Newcastle is what sealed it More passing tonight than there is in an entire season at Berwick... And yes, I did go there fairly regularly (until this year) Both tracks at Newcastle and Berwick are awful, let's face it... I just wanna see proper riders throwing their bikes around week in week out... Like James Wright, Paul Starke, Max Clegg, Chris Harris. Brilliant rides by some of those tonight Yes, there was a bump tonight, that appears to have developed since they put the extra 20 tonnes of shale onto the track last week... I'm sure it will be smoothed out and it will be back to being (slightly less) bumpy than it was tonight Honestly I thought George looked a lot better tonight than he did in previous weeks, on the pace and riding hard, just a shame he was involved in 2 nasty racing incidents (nothing worth shouting about under your helmet... ey?) Hope his head ain't too sore in the morning... Other than Bomber and Ricky, Berwick were pretty rubbish imo... Kyle and Theo had 1 good race each, could say Berwick were actually a 2 man team tonight Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neila Posted May 1, 2022 Report Share Posted May 1, 2022 My view from a very neutral outsider from comets land , diamonds were lucky to win, if bandits did not have proctor injured they would of won, but not a bad meeting but I don't like (b)rough park as a track, but staying over in the toon so be rude not to take some speedway in, but going forward unless the diamonds can get a better reserve that cosgrave its gonna be a long season, I guess bwd won't return so guests all season maybe a better option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle and Theo had 1 good race each, could say Berwick were actually a 2 man team tonight Haha Let’s not be pedantic eh! We were operating RR after losing our 3rd heat leader last night… we lost our higher point scoring reserve… You had Congreve have 2 rides and score nowt when, if you look on past form, you could also put him in for that 3rd duck egg too… aye, we named a no.8.. but we clearly wouldn’t have used Luke had Ty not been injured! Winning comfortably was the 18 points we won by last night… not the 5 you won by tonight… a 5-1 to us in Heat 15 and we’d have won so don’t understand you’re logic there! And you clearly ain’t been to any meeting at Berwick this season… more passing at Brough there tonight than in a season at ours… aye okay!! every meeting this year has had more than a few talking points because of the action on track! I love seeing born proper racers too.. we’re blessed to have Bomber & Leon especially… Lee Complin was a shadow of the rider he was last night… doesn’t that alone say anything?!?!

But in hindsight they got it right as heats 11 and 12 were 9-3 in favour of Berwick whilst a 3-3 which you were hoping for in heat 11,would of only made it 8-4 to Berwick even with a 5-1 tac sub success if they had of used Bomber in heat 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the injured riders are ok. Wouldn't say our riders though when the guest scored twice the points in 1 match than the rider he was replacing scored in three. Hopefully Newcastle can get that situation sorted out and have a good season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 What a shambles of a day that was. Burger van ridiculously expensive for the poor stuff you were given, 1 ambulance to save Granty some money and mug the fans off, Congreve having delayed concussion just in time for when Newcastle were struggling and couldn’t afford a last place. Track is an absolute disgrace and not a single rider looked comfortable on it. The Berwick juniors refused to ride on it because of how poorly prepared it was, on the advice of the senior riders, lucky if there was about 400 Newcastle fans there as well, saw more Berwick merch than Newcastle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
