Shadders Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Absolute guff. Supporters are getting restless, what’s left of them. Track was awful, I’ve not had so much dust on me since I was a regular at Rye House. Dunno what’s up with Leon, shocking performance. Gonna give it a miss next week, it’ll be carnage, besides, there’s a couple of tasty looking Premier League matches on Sky on Saturday evening.

Gonna give it a miss next week, it’ll be carnage, besides, there’s a couple of tasty looking Premier League matches on Sky on Saturday evening. Understand the sentiment and I go way back to the days of Rayleigh on a Saturday night and towards the end of a meeting listening to the results from the other Saturday night tracks. Early 1970’s when characters graced the sport (Doug Templeton, Dingle Brown, Geoff Maloney etc.) and you looked forward to Saturday night racing. Where has all gone wrong? I really do not know but you can probably point the finger of blame at so many in the sports governing body but back in the day Berwick was a stalwart notwithstanding and it was always great to see the team grace the Weir raceway. Do not give up or allow it to disappear. Too many clubs have gone by the wayside. I live too far away to follow the Bandits by turning up on a Saturday night but I still want a club with such a heritage continue. Keep the faith. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should change your name to Tiger59. Nothing but a glory hunter. A real fan would support their team, through good and bad, not just when we’re winning. Go, and voice your opinion, talk to the promotion, one day you’ll miss this great club. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not normally a fan of the use it or lose it argument but if you aren’t paying the entry fee week in week out and just choose to complain on the forum, what are you actually achieving? Pay your money and try to be part of the solution, not the problem. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On tonight’s meeting, nothing short of awful, but at least I turned up and supported, as I always will, no matter where we are in the table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit59 Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 Been a Berwick fan since Jonesy was captain, thought a forum was for views, money's tight nowadays no entertainment factor at Berwick these days so would rather spend my £20 to see decent racing if that makes me a glory hunter so be it,to be honest I know of at least 11 people near to where I stand haven't been back this year and a couple were season ticket holders make of that what you will. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is over priced at £30.IMO.But that is the Promotions perogative ,if fans don’t want to pay it it’s their perogative.Has it affected crowd levels?.They certainly are doing themselves no favours by streaming both matches for £17.99.I know it’s to attract away and neutral fans so perhaps that offsets the difference in crowd levels or even makes the Club more income.!

If you prefer to go to Glasgow that’s up to you but I don’t know why you constantly come on and moan about the cost/the product etc when every week you say you haven’t been? It’s completely at odds with each other. Like I say, try being part of the solution not the problem. We are all frustrated with the poor results but sitting at home in your armchair slanging your “supported” team off while not even going and instead going to watch Glasgow seems an odd one to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
