Also does that not make wins all the more sweeter if a team has had to overcome the obstacle of a track that has been prepared to suit the home team? Dunno and just an opinion...

They just need to get on with it IMO. Congrats to Berwick Team manager last night,used his key man to full advantage- 7 rides,and it paid off.

Must admit tho, I haven't been impressed thus far, but its a fairly new squad and not one that I would've cobbled together. After a couple of uninspiring home defeats, I think it a bit sharp to panic. Not sure about other fans tho. Also, I'm not a fan of the Lambert signing, but felt sorry for the guy last night, over trying maybe ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure he’d be chomping at the bit to ride for the club that done that to him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes as a business if it means improving your team and getting fans through the gate. At Newcastle Stevie was rider of the year 3 times in succession so when he became available it was a no brainier to fit him in. Can you imagine if we had stuck with Victor and he was only scoring 5s n 6s at meetings and Stevie had signed for someone else ( which he would of done) and was knocking in maximums or double figures every meeting .. The fans would of had every right to have had a go at the management and rightly so 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
