Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) First time here. Fast racing but not close racing. Gate and go. One proper pass wells over Hume. King now touches tapes off one in desperate attempt to try and get a result off inside. Just the way it is. Poole on Wednesday was similar with gate 4 dead. Track staff should attempt even gates.

lisa-colette 5,993 Posted August 7, 2021 Such a shame. Seems to spoil a potentially good meeting. One bad gate is understandable but 2 is a bit much! Hopefully Newcastle is better tomorrow. 36 minutes ago, Steve Shovlar said: But gates 2 and 4 gate over 1 and 3. 4 huge advantage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 5,993 Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Well done Berwick. So close but we just couldn't get a draw. Of all the teams to lose our unbeaten record to I didn't think it was going to be Berwick! Edited August 7, 2021 by lisa-colette Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BobC 664 Posted August 7, 2021 Bad management. Why no Hume in Heat12? Hed just won Heat 11. Not rocket science. But then again, it is Havvy................ 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Berwick is very gate and go, best rider to pass there was Kevin Doolan, they changed the track to try and get more racing lines but unfortunately it didn't work 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't expect to lose at Berwick but this my first season getting to know the Championship. It's my opinion and it's fine to think we should have won it.
