Why should the opposing team be punished for a rider falling off at the back on his own? Kemp was miles clear from Allen. It should have been awarded all day long. MPT should have been excluded in heat 6 too, should never be a red light for punishing yourself that badly at the start. As for Cook, waste of time. Changes are afoot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still be the first name on the 2025 team list though I bet. Who replaces him?

He’s the biggest problem but to be honest its fairly clear most other parts of the team are mediocre as well. Another season written off for Berwick.

Tuff one but right one, if it was last lap would agree but kemp had still laps to complete and as we seen a race later mistakes or breakdowns can happen,not over till the fat lady sings,i I heard nothing,great close match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 (edited) You could fill in your programme at the end of the back straight on Ist lap.Re -run of Ht14 was a joke IMO.(oh McGregor referee,not a surprise). Edited June 2 by Fromafar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSC67 Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 Always a tough one when you lose a last heat decider , especially if it's a rerun that goes against you , which they nearly always seem to do . Not the best of meetings due the events on track which obviously caused lengthy delays . A very under par performance from Cook which didn't help Berwick's cause ,best wishes to all the injured riders . Changes are definitely needed if The Bandits want to save the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Cook completes his 28 day cover and moves to Leicester, replacing Drew Kemp at reserve?!!! When I sent this news to my speedway mate by text, the one word answer came back..... "Why?"

Add on it was on BSN, completely agree on all your comments,seems only way round track is practically on the fence, this is where the manager has to do something to try and save the season.

Berwick crowds are always hard to gauge with such a big stadium to fill. With 5 League meetings left at home and Glasgow,Edinburgh& Workington still to come we are guaranteed decent crowds when they come visiting. It was nice to see a few Scorpions fans there last night.
