You pay £11.99 in hard times like this and don’t get what you pay for!

Have faith in your team darling

If he comes back I on Saturday I truly hope he’s 100% and not rushing back too early!

Another very solid win for the Bullets! We will be a hard bit to crack at home… it’s away now that we need to keep the momentum going!

Considering we’re down Leon, Jye and Ty I’d say we did alright… just missed out on taking a point! Not many teams will score better then that!

I’ve seen a few meetings at Plymouth over the years and that was definitely the poorest by some considerable way due to track conditions. Only genuine pass I can recall is Bomber on Hans as the stream missed the other one… Palm Toft passing someone IIRC as they were hyping up Barker who was well in front… Incredibly frustrating to be so close to a point yet again and just missing out but that’s what it is.

He’s too late considering Sedgmen now in as his replacement!

If we hit 33 here and come away with no more injuries then I’ll be pleased (That’s no criticism of the Poole track… just our stinking luck so far this year ) I do hope we put on a show of some sort.. luck just hasn’t been our friend this season so far!

Was definitely not up to what it has been… whether they were thrown by the warmer weather or what… I don’t know!

Spot on decision sadly. Lee gave Adam nowhere to go.

They say things come in 3s… well, Leon, Ty and now Jye! On top of that, Theo sick before the meeting! Can the bad luck please just f**k off and leave us alone now… properly gutted at the fact we’ve lost.. on the bright side we stopped Redcar getting 4 points… with Jye riding and the form he’s been on at home there’s no doubt to me we’d have won it with him! Couple of days for the lads to recover now and think about our guest situations now before hitting the road to Plymouth and Poole!

Aye… but you tend to ride our place better then your own… Poole are going to make a lot of teams look poor! Definitely a banana skin match for us… we’re a better line up then last year and we have 2 very adequate replacements. I’d have preferred to go with our own line up to beat the Bears but there we are. 48-42 me thinks!

Bends 3 & 4 last week caused issues… may also explain why everyone hugged the white line as much! The only one brave enough to come off it was Bomber in heat 15, which was awarded to Starke despite it looking the other way round… never mind! I seriously hope that it is sorted… Genuine question… was it a landlord decision to put you to Sundays as a race day? I can’t remember why you originally moved from the Monday nights… I remember some banging meetings between Newcastle and Berwick at the start of the noughties on Monday nights!

You don’t attend now I take it?

Oh I hear ya pal! Indeed! Now you can understand our frustration on last week…

Heat 11 comment… Cami Brown complaining about the state of the track… oh dear! *my salty sour puss is saying nothing*….. Gonna be interesting reading the viewpoints of those who were there from Glasgow…

Don’t say that… you’ll be labelled a sour puss!

To be fair, Dick said it right last night… Good track prep and riders with positive mindframes= Berwick being one of the best tracks in the country to watch speedway! I don’t know what’s been done differently on the track this year… but seriously, there hasn’t been one bad meeting this year! The Bullets sit quite proudly top of the league so far with us having set the pace for people to mark up to again! Let’s just make sure we get to the play offs first and then it’s game on! I thought Belle Vue would be the team to get us at home… how wrong I was!

Wow! That was an advert for the NDL! A superb meeting. How you wish Greg Blair misses the gate every heat! Simply superb to watch!

No-one shot you down IMO… simply said Plymouth is more Ben’s style of track!

Always 2 sides to an argument… Newcastle saying one thing… Berwick another… it’s done… Newcastle couldn’t completely romp home to stop our 5 senior remaining bandits getting anything… they got their first much needed win… but what a shame they’ll get their arses handed to them this week against Glasgow… see how the home fans manage and support Granty after Sunday when it gets real tough!

Wondered how long it would take for you to click

Meant to ask if you’ve seen the clip of heat 15 on Speedway GB? You want to tell me i need a prescription again?

I think you need to rein your neck in a bit! I don’t know how long you’ve been attending speedway… since I started regularly attending again 20+ years ago, there’s always been tension in our matches, more so at Brough! Your lot ain’t holier than thou either and Rob should think clearly about the comments he’s received himself at the hands of his own fans! and consider why our promotion stopped our junior riders going out… Scott, Jamie and Flinty are ex-riders… they have an idea on track prep and conditions! Why would they send our youngsters out if they were concerned… they have a role to play in the management and welfare of them! Consider also that one of our senior team had his son due to go out in the NJL meeting?! I’m sure he’d have let him ride if there was no issue!

I believe an issue had been raised about Paul Starke’s silencer… The Newcastle and Berwick meetings always had an edge of tension…. On what was a rough track… losing Ty in heat 2 and seeing Kyle speared in the rerun of heat 2… seeing riders like Howarth, Wethers, Clegg, Pijper, Proctor etc bumping around on a very rough track… it all just added to the tension!
