Topsoil gave other examples, and there was plenty going on to make it a good show. As for the complaint about Dany's max being 'gate and go' - - how did Doug Wyer, Wayne Brown, Adrian Rymel or Seb Alden score their many maximums? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinny 2,536 Posted July 15, 2019 Difference being Rymel and Alden weren’t one track ponys. Rymel in particular could ride most tracks . No idea about the other two named . Gappmaier would be perfect as a lower second string in a side with a couple of top riders and a solid third heatleader who could carry him however as the side is built on strength in depth , his away showings are no good for Berwick .

The late great Wayne Brown wasn't the greatest gater in the world but he could pass riders for fun. Another rider that was capable of scoring points on any track. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,050 Posted July 15, 2019 For what its worth I enjoyed Saturday`s meeting as IMO I got value for money and that's all I ask for, I look forward to more of the same this week hopefully. Decent racing and a surprise home win. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthegearbutnaeidea 1,732 Posted July 15, 2019 It was ‘close racing’ was nothing decent about it imo, have seen better this season at 6 different tracks which is every track I’ve been to since March Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scott Nicholls is pure box office when he misses the start. I’m always happy to see ex Rockets racing at Berwick and the noisy away support added to the occasion. It would have been much louder but we were not allowed to use air horns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As Screm has said, air-horns are not allowed under planning regulations, and if their absence consolidates that permission, then that's that. Aren't they a bit passe nowadays, anyway? Stewart Dickson's post-match analysis was very fair, and made no excuses. All in all, apart from the dreadful Heat 10 crash, a really good night out, I thought. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adrian, I think scored heavily in almost ALL away matches in 2008. Usual exceptions being Edinburgh and Rye House although I remember Adrian getting 14 against a very strong Monarchs septet in the PL Whatever was in those bikes was dynamite. Sadly he didn't replicate that same form when he returned in 2010. Edited July 15, 2019 by Robinh88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
