It was close though A very good display from Berwick on a decent track that held up well considering the weather that's been had this week. There was a team much more up for it tonight and they weren't from the West Coast Soz but is wrong,a fellow ref was stood close even he had batch winning as for kemp not moving if your on wrong end of a 5-1 just pull up and get race stopped that ref has made a rod for others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didnt track staff move it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kemp was still standing beside, but still don’t know why the ref thought it was a problem,although Kemp was standing on the track looking at it.Perhaps he though Kemp was in danger.

Jaizer Posted March 31, 2024 Report Share Posted March 31, 2024 Berwick can be as alien to a new rider as armadale is, remember nowak and Sam Jensen struggling badly on their first meetings there but improved drastically on next appearance. You'd think if cookie hadn't pulled out would've been nearer the 52-38. Hopefully just a precaution and he's fit for the competitive stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to, but I think they removed that restriction. Not sure though - think my season ticket would be cancelled if I bought an Edinburgh stream!

The narrow straights make it very tricky if you're not familiar with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t see the match but is Dickson not trying to get some home advantage? And make Berwick a difficult place to go too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
