Both put in good guest performances. Richie's average too high now (as of 1st May) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I imagine though as it seems issues went in after the race that not a jot will be done even if there was something! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The ambulance scenario is something that has reared its head earlier in the season so still lessons to be learned there . I found it strange that the 90 or so minutes interval awaiting it’s return should have proved the time to be sorting out the ruts or bumps on the 3rd and 4 th bend not until after George nearly totalled Kyle in the re run. It would have been a good night at the turnstiles as from we were standing there were as many Berwick fans in the stand as there were Newcastle. The burger van ladies worked the socks off. And mighty fine food it was too. I thought it was worth the Akkers. If Ty is out fir a few weeks I would be asking Complin to guest at home meets. End of the day it gets dark so on to the next one Complin is on an assessed average so, as I am aware, can't guest for anyone until he achieves a proper greensheet average.

Having an assessed average doesn’t prevent a rider taking guest bookings. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure the promotion at Newcastle would have been rubbing their hands with the amount of Berwick fans swelling the crowd and the burger van. Overall a tight meeting and the winners take the spoils. Can’t run without a crowd bringing in the money. burgers were good cuz chilli sauce a bit potent hahaha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We got a point with 5 riders at a track where we normally come away empty-handed A point at the single worst track in history, with overpriced burgers, dodgy injuries and a shocking crowd, no less.

Presumably Berwick +/- the ref could put in an official complaint/report to BSPA about the track etc to be totally ignored by the powers that be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oggyNZ 16 Posted May 2, 2022 Just like to congratulate both teams for providing an interesting match last night. It will certainly stick in the memory for all sorts of reasons. Also thank you to the young man who fixed the airfence as he had a big problem fixing the connectors to the panels. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
