Shadders

Champions League final and the Czech GP didn’t help. Team changes afoot with Bjork probably out for the season and Kerr needing to completely heal. Hodder is a big problem, no improvement whatsoever. Season practically over already.

Racing wasn't great tonight, but we’ve been spoilt over the past few weeks. Great to see an old Rye House rider weighing in with a very good score. Jason Edwards very lucky to escape without serious injury after a ruthless shove from Rory Schlein.

The 2023 Bandits would’ve lost this by 8-10 points, so some improvement. Worth coming just to see Bastian Borke. As a neutral I’ve been well entertained at Shielfield this season. No complaints

He can blame his skipper for not taking the start marshalls orders

Decent meeting before the track dried out. I reckon a 20 point lead would be good to go to Scunny with. Not sure if 18 is enough, but it’s sure to be a cracker

Entitled fan base

I reiterate, with his recent record of shoulder injuries why on earth would he do that?

Castsgna deserved heat 15, but may have been a bit battered up after his fall

Why on earth would he deliberately fall off his bike after all his injury issues in recent years? As far as I know he’s not a trained stuntman…. Daft

Not sure I like that rule. I think the 2 minute rule is a good idea though.

Unfair of the Monarchs to bring their own referee. Two terrible decisions. To exclude Etheridge and not Castsgna was baffling. Worse was stopping the race with the Bandits on a 5-1 when Pickering had totally missed the gate after having a nibble and penalising himself.

Met office says the same. Light rain for a couple of hours. Razor will still have Billy out by heat 9

Leon has been carrying this team for a couple of years. Nothing wrong with a change of scenery. I reckon we haven’t seen the last of him in Bandits colours

Must’ve been a small group. I didn’t hear any

Quite an upgrade on last seasons number 1

Could be something perfectly innocent like medication.

I was told hopefully next Saturday when Glasgow visit. There’s a new GB based merch supplier, which should help when they’ve run out of certain sizes.

On that showing would struggle to beat most NL riders

Tracks was fine for this time of the year. You should’ve seen it 15 years ago when it was like a roller coaster.

Rained pretty much every day for a week. The track was in good condition considering the battering it’s taken

Last time I went to Iwade the start line was just after the 4th bend

I was told 5+ points to play with, so would be a waste

Kerr; Schlein; Etheridge; Hume; Borke; Hodder; Neilsen

As long as it’s the Etheridge from later in the season

Berwick Bandits are like shoppers who hang about supermarkets near closing time to grab the out of date stuff
