Kemp was still standing beside, but still don’t know why the ref thought it was a problem,although Kemp was standing on the track looking at it.Perhaps he though Kemp was in danger.

Typical Kemp, did that when he rode for Poole

Berwick can be as alien to a new rider as armadale is, remember nowak and Sam Jensen struggling badly on their first meetings there but improved drastically on next appearance. You'd think if cookie hadn't pulled out would've been nearer the 52-38. Hopefully just a precaution and he's fit for the competitive stuff

Doesn’t Edinburgh stream not allow you to buy it if you live within a certain mile radius of the track? 

Used to, but I think they removed that restriction. Not sure though - think my season ticket would be cancelled if I bought an Edinburgh stream!

Agree with this, just because a track isn't small and tight doesn't mean its not difficult for a first time visitor. The narrow straights make it very tricky if you're not familiar with it.

Newcastle’s track is smoother than this, awful.

Didn’t see the match but is Dickson not trying to get some home advantage? And make Berwick a difficult place to go too.

The straights were widened a couple or three seasons ago, whether that changes how you actually ride the track is another matter.

The track was ok.IMO.Didn’t seem any riders struggling.

Completely agree, there was no issues with the track IMO, in fact given the track has been re-laid over the winter it looked and seemed to ride very well. But its very easy to lose a meeting and blame the track, it was the same for both teams.

There’s nothing wrong with the track don’t know all the rubbish about it being rough is coming from,riders didn’t have any problems.Freddie Hodder and Borge were passing no problems

Freddie Hodder very impressive rode the 3rd /4th bend like he had been there for years.

Also rode the first couple of bends pretty good.
