DSC67

A win is a win , and that's about all you can say about tonights match still a long was to go yet with both the team and the racing surface . Comics up next and they will have some proper reserves

On a night when we needed all the guys to be on their mark unfortunately there where week links in chain tonight , Alex and Robin had particularly bad nights and questions will need to be asked about the performances of certain riders tonight , particularly our reserves although Nicki did improve in the later stages of the meeting , Edinburgh had 3 riders who only scored 6 points between them with a half decent score from our reserves we could have won this , anyways that's the league cup & the KO gone now , onwards and upwards bring on the premier league .

An already tough task just got a lot harder

The damage was done in the first leg of this tie , Ricky is not where we should be pointing the finger of blame for losing the tie its the guys who underperformed at Shielfield who need to shoulder the blame in this one

A very poor performance in the home leg came back to haunt us tonight , but after been so far ahead we should have been able to put this one to bed , this is an absolute shocker :mad:

The Bandits will need to be a lot sharper at the gate for this one and we cant afford to give up any soft points . I'm sure Cook & co will need to second invitation to take the initiative if we give them the chance , I'd also expect to se a lot of Tabaka . A decent result here will give us a good chance of progressing through to the later stages of the league cup . Lets hope for a good meeting , some decent racing and a healthy win for the men in black and gold .

It was obvious watching Seb in HT 15 that he was trying his damnest to find a way past , but there was nothing there for him

Well done to Redcar fully deserved their win . Berwicks' middle order is looking a bit toothless ATM and is giving up too many soft points .

Not the strongest of opponents tonight. I think we should have just about enogh ponts for tomorrows return leg .I'm sure there will be a lot stiffer tests to come in the following weeks & we can't afford to have Kozza giving away easy points,hopefully his fitness will improve in the weeks to come .

Decent night when you consider there was nothing at stake . Cook was a class apart for the visitors and there won't be many better at Shielfield this season , all in all it was good to get the cobwebs blown off and get the season underway . Tigers next up for The Bandits and premier trophy action hopefully we'll be firing on all cylinders with the guys having sorted out their set ups and ready to go .

Unless his Sunday radio show gets cancelled , there's no chance of that

poor post

The remarks from Middleditch are unbelievable , he needs to be given the chance to explian what he meant by them

Peronally speeking , when Dick switches his mic on I tend to switch off and dont bother to listen to whatever he's babbling on about I'm not that fussed about hearing the lastest hits being played over the PA system either , as long as the racing is good and Berwick can win the meeting I will go home happy.

Good news not only for the Bandits but for the sport of Speedway to have a worldwide name involved in the sport

I certainly wont cancel SkySports , I enjoy other sports like cricket , rugby( union and league ) , and loads more ; dont fancy cutting my nose off to spite my face

probably 5.00 (assessed)

Money or the lack of it seems to be a problem with Cook , isn't that why he left the Comets to join Edinburgh ?

I never said that they where brilliant , just give them a chance that's all, I don't understand how you can say the Kozza or David are boring , we've tried teams with out and out entertainers in the past and it hasn't worked has it , and if riders like " Stormy " are available it would be daft not to go for him when he's practically on our doorstep particularly when you take in to account that the state of the finances in the sport not just at Berwick

Its true what they say about pleasing some of the people all the time and all the people some of time , seems to me that no matter what team the promotion put together someone on here would have to come on and moan about it . Personally I'm very happy with the line up looks pretty solid with riders who have the potential to improve their average , so lets get behind the team and give them a chance :t:

Very pleased with the line up

Isn't Robin Aspergren a Swindon asset ?

Web-site says that two riders are due to be present on Friday night at the forum , you don't have to be inspector Rebus to work out this probably means that they are British based riders , I would like to think that one of them will be Ricky Ashworth , but as to the other one ? Anyone know if Matty Weathers went home to Oz this winter ? Or is the other rider present going to be our official no 8 Liam Carr ?

According to an interview with Ricky on one of the DVD's there is nowhere else that he'd rather be racing , said the this has been his best ever season and would love to comeback
