I have watched Dany Gappmaier away from home probably over 30 times since he put on a Berwick race jacket and I’ve seen him have 2 good meetings, I’ve also watched him not try and be absolutely pathetic in nearly half of them, never mind meetings I havn’t been to at Lakeside, Eastbourne, Ipswich, Plymouth, I’ve had enough of it and so has a lot of others, if the club had any form of ambition he would of been sacked when he shut off early going into the 3rd bend in heat 14 against National League second string David Wallinger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

diamond@heart 399 Posted June 3, 2019 Great performance and result by the Diamonds. Excellent to see Bjerre back to his best and producing the sort of performance we all know he is capable of week in week out. Really impressed with Clegg, since the moment he has first turned a wheel for us at the start of the season he has done nothing but impress. I thought he would struggle initially at No. 2 but appears to have taken to it like a duck to water and if he continues to trap like that will be hard to beat around Brough. The rest of the team all contributed which is good to see, not sure about this blaming the track lark, looked and seemed OK from where I was standing. Berwick were really poor, especially NBJ who is usually good to watch around Brough. Once again really impressed with Flint, great prospect and just seems to get on with it, I think if a few of the others in the Berwick team had adopted that mentality last night, the score may have been closer or the racing at least. Hopefully we get to see Flint at Brough again as he seems to improve every time he comes. Onto the Monarchs next (in the cup) and it would be nice to have weekly speedway instead of this fortnighty speedway we are getting, still can't grumble (even though I just have) as it could be worse.

Which is unusual, but..... The injuries have kneecapped the team, which has lost the early-season zest as a direct result. The extra meetings for Spud and NBJ (and Leon) are taxing and -- most importantly, as identified -- the club is run on the strictest of budgets in order that we can continue having speedway. The recent sweeps around town on Saturdays, plus school tickets and free drinks show the promotion are busting their guts to keep the show going and those who want, and want to support, speedway in Berwick have to applaud their enthusiasm. Next meeting isn't for a fortnight, the visitors will be Edinburgh (a promotion backed financially by their supporters to a massive degree) and we have to hope Bandits' injuries will have eased and the team spirit (in the pits and on the terraces) is revitalised.

allthegearbutnaeidea 1,734 Posted June 3, 2019 Yes you can see that Garcia and Jye are struggling but... why are they riding? And why are the club letting them ride if they’re not fit? I understand they don’t get paid if they don’t ride but they’re directly making the team worse 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bottom line -- it is home scoring that entertains the vast majority of spectators at any speedway. Edited June 3, 2019 by crescent girl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
