ZODIAK 304 Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Well done to Berwick on their hard earned point seems the weegies aren't as good as some think they are. And maybe Edinburgh aren't either seeing as Glasgow held their own in the two recent meetings. There isn't a stand out team this year, there are a fair few that all look evenly matched. Bodes well for a close entertaining season. Edited April 5, 2015 by Hong Kong Phooey 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,784 Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) I'm sure Glasgow will be bang in form when they need to be at the business end of the season. The all conquering Lynn side of 2006 didn't really get going until June, sometimes takes time however good a taleam looks on paper. Wasn't the three hours because of two ill spectators?

spittalbandit 95 Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Just over 3 hours to run a meeting not bad just as well it was a nice day! Well done to Berwick on their hard earned point seems the weegies aren't as good as some think they are. Maybe it could be berwick arent as bad as some making out. Well done bandits might only be one point but shows what we can do. Time will tell if good or bad teams but way too early in season to judge.

Well done to Lisa and the rest of the Supporters Club who organised the trip. Reports coming back are that the Bandits were very unlucky to only come away with a point *edit* 45 Bandits plus my youngest son, baby Rocket Edited April 5, 2015 by Shads 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MD 1,307 Posted April 5, 2015 Berwick started poorly other than Masters and looked like it would be easy for us. That is until ht7 when they started gating, the Bandits provided all race winners from ht10 onwards. Ht13 was race of the night as both Morris and Lawson picked off Masters who had gated on a 5-1 with Vissing. Summers in ht15 was a surprise as he was hit and miss. Jorgenson in the rerun laid it down IMO having seen he was being left behind at turn 1. Bike problems for Berge and Sarjeant were cancelled out by Crang not scoring and Voldrich not gating. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weeyin 1,022 Posted April 5, 2015 some excellent races today, well done to the bandits, they fully deserved a point, shame it took so long. Hope the bandit fans enjoyed our new surroundings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

george.m 3,063 Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Delighted to say it looks like the Supporters bus that went up to Glasgow was virtually full, hope everyone enjoyed a good trip to the speedway. Just happy to have come home on the same day the meeting started. That was a long one today, hope the unfortunate people are OK. A great atmosphere at the first bend and the visiting Bandits did their club proud providing it. Good banter and fun of the family variety, in stark contrast to last week. Bandits deserved their point, doing a Glasgow on Glasgow and not giving up. Their riders seemed more familiar and dialled into the track. Doolan in particular showed the home team how to get round and in spectacular form. Very exciting to watch. Glasgow riders quite rightly were visibly pee'd off with the starting gate tapes visibly rising slower on the inside. However it was the same for both teams and isn't a feasible excuse. New stating system in place for next week promised. Good to see the Glasgow promotion still having a customer orientated approach, making good on promises made last week, continuing to request feedback and promising issues will be addressed. The whole experience at Glasgow is a vast improvement. Good on you! Edited April 5, 2015 by george.m 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been saying for several years we should ditch the Spring Trophy against EDI in favour of opening the season with a challenge against another team. Berwick would do nicely.

They have. Away team still gains a point if they finish 6 or less points behind. Home team gets 3 for the win regardless of the winning score..... That's the new bit. It's still 2 points each for a draw Edited April 5, 2015 by Shads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
