Perhaps, but in their favour, it’s not exactly a passing track, when I’ve been there at least. If they can gate well, every chance of holding position. And isn’t it one of the longer tracks in the league? Must be a bit of a pain for visiting riders setup-wise, compared to other tracks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, how can that 1-7 be justified. How can Bickley (3pt reserve) replace Doolan ? The team isnt even built upto the points limit. I am aware they operate on a budget but if thats the case why not just go into the NL and be 1 of the better clubs. I've got no inside knowledge on who the club may have tried to sign, but maybe there is a difficulty in attracting riders to Berwick? Maybe riders don't want to travel? Maybe they don't like the track? Just my opinion, but moving down to the National League could be a risk as well, just because I wonder how many fans would think 'I'm not watching that level'? It may be the future of the club, who knows? I think that they will hope that Jye Etheridge continues to improve like he did last season and take the 2nd heat leader position, Leon and Kyle Bickley both continue to improve and Dany Gappmaier to continue to score well at home.

MD 1,305 Posted November 24, 2019 Wrong track for KBs development IMO. The big track and slick surface will suit him but does nothing to overcome his weakness at smaller tracks like Armadale and Newcastle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The team is over a point under the limit for goodness sake? Ooooh, what's "reasonable" and who's offered? Or are you just stirring? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devils advocate 0 Posted November 25, 2019 Lets be realistic. With the points limit at 41 you need to pick a team where riders are capable of scoring higher than their average or you lose. I think the team might not be what i would have picked but they all are capable of scoring more than their average especially at home. . If you win your home meetings and get a few away points you are in top 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not even sure if it’ll hold it’s own at home. What was the point in signing THJ at the end of last season if he didn’t cone back for 2020? Correct me if wrong but is Jonasson not a rider owned by Poole? I would imagine he off to South Coast I can see where Berwick coming from with team? Not lot costly loan fees. I think if right, Gappmaier, Etheridge, Garcia, Flint and maybe Jakobsen belong to club? Edited November 25, 2019 by Catch Me If You Can Add content Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
