Havvy was a great rider for poole but he is a terrible manager, awful.

Bad management. Why no Hume in Heat12?  Hed just won Heat 11. 

Not rocket science. But then again, it is Havvy................

You beat me to it, i couldn't understand that either, that's normally a middlo trick

Bit sensitive if you think that is insulting. 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.

Sorry I not criticising you,I am talking about Trackrat.His comment is not required

Don't understand this assumption just have to show up at Berwick and expect to win. Specialist track with track specialists. As a Glasgow supporter I doubted 12 points would be enough in ko cup last week and without heat 1 loss of 2 riders I severely doubt we'd have won the meeting. On paper had 2 good guests as well. Certainly never a track I travel to in expectation of victory

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!  

Didn’t you get beat 45-44 at Eastbourne?

Shocking error. Had written hume in the program. Wright gave up third weakely out of second bend. Himd was going well after slow start.

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. 

How come no Hume in Heat12 Steve

As I see it we should have won. But Havvy howler of leaving Wright in and King going through the tapes in heat 9 cost us yhe win although there was no guarentee he could have beaten Brennan off gate 4. 
 

12 of 15 heats won off gate 4. In the middle section they had gate 4 and beat us 16-8 off it. Add in Andersen at reserve and it was difficult, especially with Edwards at 2 and next to useless Wright at 6 getting an extra ride. 
 

Gate and go with perhaps three passes all night on the first lap. Could fill in program after one lap. 
 

Hope for a better meeting tomorrow regardless of score.

Recently we have an unbeaten run of 9 meetings, not the whole season!

The was before track changes and the track had dirt on it,Complin Clews and Makovsky made some spectacular passes.

During Lockdown I watched plenty of old Berwick matches on YT and Complin and Makovsky certainly stood out.. 

So much so I wondered why there was talk of improving the track..

They certainly seemed to have little issue passing opponents..
