You have to admit despite result they got lucky! That heat when Flint fell was a dialled in 5-1 and a 40-32 lead

That was the turning point IMHO .

It gave them a lift mate   Confidence is great leveller in all sport

Agree but thought the Bears were far more positive in their riding last night

I posted earlier that of The Bandits long unbeaten run was going to end, the Bears were just the team to do it.

So it has proved to be, another great team performance from the Bears, especially as they are a 6 man team in all honesty.

The play-offs must be a real possibility for the Bears. Well done, all of you.

Its a good time to be a Bears fan.

Just got to say the racing at Berwick has been like this for years. Difficult to pass. Miss the gate and that's it as proved by Jordan Stewart in his first two rides when he was at the back and looked like a total novice. I thought he had machinery problems even as far as being replaced in his third ride. Then in heat 14 made the gate and was a different rider altogether!!?? Also Erik Riss who was flying until heat 11. Missed the gate and at the back nowhere near the other 3. Kasper Anderson was the same looked totally garbage until heat 11 with Riss. He made the gate and looked a different rider altogether. To me this happens now at many tracks. Miss the start and because of speed of bikes most cannot pass. I was there as a neutral supporter but well done in the end to Redcar for the victory and for Shutting up Dick Barrie. Yet he still went on about going to Redcar and winning! Hahaha! No chance.

While Leon was very unlucky to loose his chain and fall ,he was lucky that MPT had switch line to try and pass him inside coming out off the bend and therefore narrowly missed running into him.Could have been nasty.

To be fair mate Berwick dont have a Belle Vue   Redcar were ok but got lucky in Heat 12  A 40-32 lead would have finished them   The track is what it is and until someone comes up with solution will no doubt not change. Problem is with lots folk the glass is half empty but that is a trait for Brits

We will agree to disagree mate  Thats good thing about GB  You dont get locked away or disappear off planet for comments like couple of my friends abroad who I aint heard of for 2 years   I will say again as my glass is often half full unlike majority of Berwick fans who post, Redcar were beaten if the score had been 40-32 after Heat 12.  It wasnt and they won. But like all club forums you can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time. You should try watching the local soccer team  They aint won since March

Yes. Very much so. The altered design from upright to lay down seems to have not helped chains coming off or snapping. Could be also not helped by riders seemingly constant search for more power and speed? Hans Neilsen to blame!??? Hahaha.
