I understand the logic of deciding no-one will beat Masters & Nicholls in heat 13, so trying to score more in 8,12&14, but I do feel for Etheridge. It's certainly a move done to avoid a drubbing / give themselves a chance of the bonus point. Does make them look very weak in the heats with Etheridge & Hodder though!

szkocjasid Posted July 24, 2024 Report Share Posted July 24, 2024 So both Kerr & Kemp have beaten Killeen! No one can beat Heeps though, who must be wondering why he isn't riding for the Spires? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute club legend. George, Dick and Mythman always tell the less educated Berwick fans of how well he’s doing and they’ll support him through thick and thin.

Could Joe Thomson not have had one of Jye's other rides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jye is a club hero and even when he’s woeful (all the time) he needs to be out there representing the mighties. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BacktrackBandit Posted July 24, 2024 Report Share Posted July 24, 2024 How Jye Etheridge still rides for this club is unbelievable. Got to be the worst so called ‘heat leader’ in the league. awful rider. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you give Dickson another year? Personally I’d be on phone to Peter Waite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandit59 Posted July 24, 2024 Report Share Posted July 24, 2024 Most posters on here knew we weren't going to win tonight,let's be honest we will be lucky not to finish bottom of the league,I know we've had injuries but so have other teams, just another crap season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackInTheDHSS Posted July 24, 2024 Report Share Posted July 24, 2024 A lot of Berwick fans moaning about their team’s performance after saying they would get hammered anyway. You did better than you thought. In fact, you did better at Sandy Lane than every other team (bar Poole, obviously) that’s visited in the league. And with a far from fully-fit Lewis Kerr. Give yourselves a break, the Bandits showed far more fighting spirit than most of the other teams I’ve seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody is denying the fighting spirit,I welcomed the refreshing changes at the start of the season,unfortunately it hasn’t worked out for a number of reasons .Thats Speedway though and we struggle to compete and the right end of the League again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was actually looking at the fixtures & was gonna comment that Berwick (37) scored more at Oxford than Workington (33), Scunthorpe (34), Edinburgh (36), Redcar (36) & Glasgow (36). Now I'm sure Berwick fans & riders will be disappointed with the score, but it wasn't the thrashing some suggested! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, think Berwick will just be happy for a home victory. Does show Oxford should pick up plenty of bonus points, probably cements their place in the play-offs Edited July 24, 2024 by szkocjasid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another poor season from him but some will still say he rode near his average. A few Berwick fans that I speak to all said he’d score well at home, in a weak league, and be steady away from home. If he’s back next year we might aswell call a day on speedway at Berwick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted July 25, 2024 Report Share Posted July 25, 2024 Lost and move on, Berwick were never going to win at Oxford, again the weakness was lack of race wins. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're one of the better "educated" fans that you claim to be, then surely you'd know that there is absolutely NOTHING to be gained by anyone publicly slagging the club or it's riders, especially via the clubs official channels, be that on the website or in the programme. Change the record, your patter is boring 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuntdouble Posted July 25, 2024 Report Share Posted July 25, 2024 Redcar beginning of the season did well got a win. Been at Glasgow watching , should have come away with a win if not fir a sublime Harris. Had another mare of a season with injuries and some of the guests score massively for their club but not even half when guesting. Lawson a stand out when guesting. Superb. End of the day it gets dark. Could be worse and have no speedway at all like some fans have now. Season is done so let the team go out on the track and enjoy it. It might just get them a few moral boosting wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
