Berwick rode well considering they lost Jye in heat 1. Well done to Redcar.

Wonder if Charles could have been excluded for causing the accident in heat 1?

Lee seemed mad after getting pushed very wide by Adam on the first and second bend and had steamed passed when Adam fell.

Who was the referee as the listed referee was standing in the back of the box and not in control of the buttons? When I go to the football I usually get a trained referee and not a trainee doing a professional game.

Lee didn’t steam past when Adam fell ,he knocked him off on the way past, not many Berwick fans were complaining ,even on the 3rd bend.Good win for Bears but Berwick very unlucky losing Jye,think it probably made the difference.

Spot on decision sadly. Lee gave Adam nowhere to go.

I was standing at the bar on the back straight when Roynon fell. Complin hadn't steamed past he hit Roynon who was maybe going slower into the bend. No malice but Complin took him off.

Minor tactical thing, wouldn't it been better if wells had an "engine failure" in heat 13 could've put Morris and pijper into 14?

Would've made no difference, if Morris had won heat 14, a 4-2 heat advantage would still have left Berwick 4 points down after heat 14.

Or a 5-1 would have left them 2 points down ... it's all about tactics and playing the remaining options.

Well done to the Bears last night , taking advantage of Berwick's bad luck hope Jye won't be out long just when he was riding really well, certainly would have scored more than the 3 points his rides got.Two very  good guests for us last night,Flinty senior hopefully will get some of the same for our travels next week.Very good effort from the Bandits,Riss and Wright always ride Berwick well and our old friend Kasper as well,wish the Bandits good luck on their travels next week.

No one going to talk about how poor the track was compared to the rest of the season?

Was definitely not up to what it has been… whether they were thrown by the warmer weather or what… I don’t know!

Is ht14 a protected heat? No tac subs?

Least enjoyable meeting of the season so due to the stop start nature, understandable with the Jye Etheridge crash in Ht1, but the incessant tractor, water breaks meant the meeting took well over two hours to run. Berwick had very little luck and after losing Etheridge their task was virtually impossible but they did make a decent fist of things.

Cost us the meeting, no point in getting Complin as a guest and then having that track 

Completely agree, no excuses on track prep just now as there is no football so the track will be open all week. Maybe someone could point out a weather forecast or two and necessary preparations made.

Not the greatest of spectacles as far as the racing goes and the Bears could be counted as a touch fortunate to race against a five man side but overall I think they deserved the win. The Bandits riders did seem a little disconcerted with the track which may have been drier than they expected meaning only three ‘ overtakes ‘ all meeting and two of them by the Bears ( Andersen and Jenkins ). The over worked Bandits battled hard right through till the end and Morris’s last race efforts denied the Bears the extra point. All the Bandits had the odd poor ride due to missing the gate but the main body scored well and kept it close throughout. Complin a little wild but entertaining although Roynon may not agree. Bickley hot and cold but old man Pijper impressed.

Bears we’re reasonably solid , heat leaders , particularly Riss,  did their job, Andersen rode as was expected at Berwick , Roynon did his role and the reserves were competitive .

Berwick understandably had plenty of track breaks to give their riders breathing space but there was also medical treatment handed out to both Etheridge and Roynon and the riders bikes were being weighed before and during the meeting by officials so yes, it did takes its toll.

Berwick is still a club to be admired the way it’s run, on a budget but professionally and with very friendly staff and supporters. Always an enjoyable club to visit .
