Redcar’s performance matched the away support - bang average. As for the Bandits, well what can I say - even without our two star men we still managed to keep Shielfield a fortress. Can you imagine if we had a fully fit Rory and TJ tonight? I certainly would’ve fancied us for the bonus point!

Bandits very unlucky tonight. Boxall and Pearson brilliant but we just didn’t win enough races to challenge Edinburgh - always going to be difficult against Cookie and Picko. Normal service resumed for Jye Etheridge tonight, and as much as I wish TJ a very speedy recovery, I hope it’s the last we see of him at Berwick - got to go down as one of the worst ever signings after dropping 3pts on his average in just 3.5months. Onto Redcar at the fortress now and a massive match in our quest for that final playoff spot!

No doubt Glasgow will throw the cheque book at him next season.

What a night of speedway! Gutted it didn’t go our way, but that’s life. Looking forward to visiting the West Lothian Community Stadium next week as we attempt to gain the all important bonus point.

Terrible support. bet you’ll be the first to complain when we don’t have Speedway at Berwick.

R/R is the best option for Schlein in my opinion. When you think that Leon, Jye and TJ are going to be able to cover a ride each, there aren’t many riders eligible to guest that are better than those 3 track specialists. 47-43 to the Bandits tomorrow night I reckon, the start of our playoff charge!

Surely Jye Etheridge has to be knocking on the Ipswich door. Erik Riss and Danyon Hume massively struggling for form at Premiership level. Etheridge has proved that he can perform at that level (after he guided Belle Vue to the title last season) and has openly admitted he wants a premiership team. Thoughts Ipswich fans?

Everyone should just be a bit more positive in my opinion. We are one of very few Speedway clubs left in Britain and every year we put a team together which gives us numerous nights of entertainment. If you want me to be negative? Etheridge is awful and has to go.

Rare off night for the Bandits. Jye and Jonas clearly struggling to find the speed, brilliant night for Rory and everyone else battled hard. Saturday is the big night in our battle for the play-offs. Hope to see everyone getting behind the lads.

Stream is awful, sort it out Poole!!!!

Really looking forward to this one, and more than confident the in-form Bandits can push the Pirates all the way. Was meant to be making the journey down but my pal has been off work last couple of days with illness, so will have to settle for the stream! Good luck Bandits!!

Poole fans must be bored

Leon and Jye are pathetic, decisions must be made. They’ve let the club and the travelling supporters down tonight!

Another comfortable away win at Oxford for the Bandits I think. With what it lacks in firepower, Berwick’s 1 to 5 certainly makes up for it with strength in depth and with arguably the best reserve pairing in the league, it’s sure to be a tricky night for the Cheetahs.

Safe journey down to Plymouth to all the Bandits fans travelling. Hope it’s on!

Just a bit of bad luck tonight to be honest, can’t fault any of the lads efforts to be honest. Really enjoyed the meeting after as-well, surely Owen Booth is knocking on the door of the bullets? He seems a great young rider!

Sat in the car ready for the long drive home. Very disappointed with the outcome but the lads gave it a great go against a very solid Birmingham side. Nice to see a little bit of optimism from the Brum fans which I spoke to tonight. Best of luck for the rest of the season!

That’s me just over an hour away from Perry Barr. Really looking forward to tonight’s meeting. Going to try and get in as early as possible as I hear Birmingham have a great home support and I want to have a good view. Come on the Bandits

Decent night of speedway in-front of a decent crowd. Great to see Etheridge back in the points and the Bandit’s reserves very good once again. Rest of the team very poor and another disappointing result against a 5man Oxford. Big meeting at Brum through the week, anyone travelling?

No Knudsen either.

You can say that Redcar were good tonight, but ultimately Poole did the same to Redcar, as what Redcar did to Berwick tonight, a few weeks ago. Redcar are a very good side though and made a mockery of Berwick tonight. As for the Bandits, it was a story of our season so far. Carrying too many riders, heat leaders not firing and fans becoming more and more frustrated.

2 massive meetings at home for the Bandits, within the next 10 weeks, let’s hope he’s okay.

Narrowly beat a 4man Scunthorpe team at home, struggling to find something to get behind at the moment, Col. Changes must be made!

Really enjoyable meeting at Shielfield tonight, in front of a fairly poor crowd. Thought on the whole the Bandits were decent and everyone scored pretty well. Heat 14 was a little bit embarrassing from Jye, however, and probably sums up his season so far. Hope he can recover from this bad spell as he’s been a good servant to Berwick over the last few years, however I personally think it’s time for a change.

Still be getting behind the lads tonight tho!
