He can't ride Armadale and was a waste of points for a team struggling to win home meetings. Edinburgh get a loan fee for him and Berwick get what appears a big track rider. A good move for both parties. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,057 Posted January 5 Made a very decent impression with Edinburgh`s trip to Berwick last season so if we get that rider every week Mr Borke could prove a very astute signing, especially as he starts at reserve. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaizer 2,864 Posted January 5 Makes sense all round, couldn't ride the dump from what I saw but was very impressive at both shielfield and ashfield (shocked he wasn't considered at Glasgow over starke tbh). Solid side should be in play off contention. Only concern would be is Kerr a genuine number 1? Average is based on riding predominantly at 3 for Oxford I'd fancy other sides to have the better of heats 13 & 15 against you but may be evened out in 12 & 14 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getting him and Etheridge sick tickets for Armadale may prove even more astute. The Dickson era awaits! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fromafar 10,363 Posted January 5 Excellent signing, gives Bandits a strength in depth Team which may pay off this season.IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t think he wanted Armadale as a home track.Think Edinburgh were wanting him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emilali 500 Posted January 5 6 really good signings for the first time in years. Shame Etheridge is back again but hopefully if he does what hes done the rest of his time at Berwick then Dickson will boot him out. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good final piece of the puzzle for Berwick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yearbyred 1,107 Posted January 5 Looks a pretty well balanced team this year. Hopefully a better year for Bandits fans. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Endeavour 681 Posted January 5 Would have taken a lot of those riders at Armadale. Best wishes to the Bandits in 2024. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
szkocjasid 3,027 Posted January 5 Berwick look better placed to challenge for a play-off spot than in recent years. Have strengthened their top end, while having a decent rider at reserve, especially against teams with 2 x 2.00 riders. Big key for me is Etheridge to find his best home form, big home wins = bonus points / aggregate wins. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would also explain Flint being preferred over Vissing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does that mean you’ll be at Shielfield cheering on the lads for the first time since we signed Etheridge? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gazc 7,097 Posted January 6 Can’t see Berwick being the easy touch at home next season, solid looking team and should always have a strong reserve. As has been said win at home and taking the aggregate point is the way to get play off speedway. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
