He can't ride Armadale and was a waste of points for a team struggling to win home meetings. Edinburgh get a loan fee for him and Berwick get what appears a big track rider. A good move for both parties. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Made a very decent impression with Edinburgh`s trip to Berwick last season so if we get that rider every week Mr Borke could prove a very astute signing, especially as he starts at reserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaizer Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Makes sense all round, couldn't ride the dump from what I saw but was very impressive at both shielfield and ashfield (shocked he wasn't considered at Glasgow over starke tbh). Solid side should be in play off contention. Only concern would be is Kerr a genuine number 1? Average is based on riding predominantly at 3 for Oxford I'd fancy other sides to have the better of heats 13 & 15 against you but may be evened out in 12 & 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting him and Etheridge sick tickets for Armadale may prove even more astute. The Dickson era awaits! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emilali Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 6 really good signings for the first time in years. Shame Etheridge is back again but hopefully if he does what hes done the rest of his time at Berwick then Dickson will boot him out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good final piece of the puzzle for Berwick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. More to it than just Armadale as others have suggested. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yearbyred Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Looks a pretty well balanced team this year. Hopefully a better year for Bandits fans. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endeavour Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Would have taken a lot of those riders at Armadale. Best wishes to the Bandits in 2024. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
szkocjasid Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Berwick look better placed to challenge for a play-off spot than in recent years. Have strengthened their top end, while having a decent rider at reserve, especially against teams with 2 x 2.00 riders. Big key for me is Etheridge to find his best home form, big home wins = bonus points / aggregate wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also explain Flint being preferred over Vissing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazc Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Can’t see Berwick being the easy touch at home next season, solid looking team and should always have a strong reserve. As has been said win at home and taking the aggregate point is the way to get play off speedway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point..think we made a conscious decision to have British based riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a couple of tracks in the UK I personally feel are worth paying to attend/stream and they’d be Glasgow, Redcar and Belle Vue. Excited to see how good the racing is from Workington this season on their return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
