Fromafar 10,370 Posted April 16, 2017 He looked quick enough last night , and the effort was there , but as someone previously said , you cant give the likes of Richie Worrall , Lawson or Summers a start . But it wasn't just Bridger , Vissing started off like a train before fizzling out when it got to the tickly part of the meeting . Yip,looks a class act on the bike and no lack of effort but was like a snail out of the gate every heat.Summers impressed me last night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Summers certainly had the bit between his teeth last night , his ride in heat 11 was probably the turning point of the meeting . And his animated after race celebrations got the large travelling support on the back straight fired up . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StevePark 2,781 Posted April 16, 2017 Perhaps some Berwick fans need to be thankful they have any Speedway to watch, win, lose or draw. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Normski 1,316 Posted April 16, 2017 That was a brilliant race , as was Gappmaier versus Lunna in heat 14 That was a cracker, to be fair racing has been much better this season at Berwick all we need now is a win 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
balderdash&piffle 720 Posted April 17, 2017 Lads & Lassies, lets get a grip. Don't agree with Dick and his many aliases, when it comes sniping about 'The Forum Fannies', they have an opinion and are entitled too it. I do however agree with some of his opinion in the programme about what we have now, just a pity didn't air his view previously when it had been so bad, I always believe in saying it even if some don't like it. 1. We have speedway 2, We have a much improved track ( been pants for quite a few seasons, of late) 3. We have at good crowds at the moment, may that support long continue, it had dwindled to what can only have been unsustainable. 4. We have had some of the best racing in recent memory, have to go back at least 10 years for this level of entertainment. I know we are not winning, but I have been entertained every week with some very good racing, certainly worth my entry fee. The team has a few problems at present, let's give the management time to sort them out, let's see if the riders problems can be solved before we start changes, knee jerk reactions are not always the answer. The way I see it, the riders that are having problems, if we dropped them, who do we replace them with, everything available is about the same as we have now, no top end riders, and certainly no bottom end riders. Stick with it Lads & Lassies, the management is new and on a learning curve, they will overcome the problems. Remember speedway so far at Shielfield this season, is better than you have been served in recent seasons. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
