Paulco 7,080 Posted April 11, 2018 Our latest attempt to get the season up and running is this Friday as we welcome the Berwick Bandits and their enthusiastic band of followers . At least we got to batter the Monarchs before Noah and his boat started sailing down Sauchiehall Street , Berwick's all singing , all dancing world famous anti rain off covers haven't been any match for the April deluge . So they're having , maybe , their first competitive fixture . Three ex Tigers return to the French motorcar arena , a two year veteran in the stripes - Aaron Summers , one from a dim and distant past before Edinburgh started winning anything - Kevin Doolan , and one who barely got his tyres worn , David Howe . Their strength is a potent looking reserve pairing , but i cant see that being enough to trouble Bomber , Richie , Claus and the rest of our 2018 Tigers in their quest to get 6 home and 6 away meeting completed this side of October .

Gazc 7,098 Posted April 11, 2018 Rain forecast from early afternoon on Friday heavy at times. This April shower myth is ripping the hole right out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose if it's rained off us Berwick fans can be proud that despite most people writing off our team,at least we'll have been unbeaten in our first three fixtures. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cerro 190 Posted April 13, 2018 Monsoon Esque rain right now, I’ll be shocked if this is on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazc 7,098 Posted April 13, 2018 It is probably wetter than last week I really can't see this going ahead with the temperature to max at 8 degrees there will be no chance the track would dry out. As said above I will be shocked also if this beats the weather it is really getting to laughable stages now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MD 1,307 Posted April 13, 2018 Bit of a tick the box exercise on a bitterly cold night. Doolan, Howe and Gappmaier were in amongst the points. Summers was pretty poor for a former rider and Sarjeant sat still at the tapes all night. Time for some warmer weather! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
