Maybe the rules are to blame for this more than Edinburgh. As for Berwick, I think 2 matches isn't enough for any rider to prove their worth, unless Bastien said he was struggling & wanted to be replaced, think Berwick should've given him longer in the team. Did you see either of Bastian’s meetings, or see him walking about the town, or at the gym, or in the pits? The lad has one working leg for god sake, he should still be on crutches. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the riders doing the track walk and he wasn’t even limping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the riders doing the track walk and he wasn’t even limping. Because his leg is being held together by various braces on a daily basis. This is the right decision, he clearly isn’t fit enough yet. The problem could/should have been avoided by not signing him back in the first place until we knew for sure his fitness was not a concern, had we done that we’d be avoiding all of this carry on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I think we’re going to have 1 less home meeting this year as the Border Trophy wasn’t on the calendar. I’d be very surprised if we got 40pts at Redcar next Friday. Anyone else think the track is far too slick? Other than the first couple of bends, the racing is so boring. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Cook not say last week that he had asked for the track to be slicker? I thought they would have kept it with a bit dirt for home track advantage!

allthegearbutnaeidea Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 No one wants to watch that crap every week. They’ve had 3 good crowds due to away fans, but it’ll be interesting to see it against Poole. Only entertainment was Charles Wright v the football pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Berwick replaced Hagon they'd have 5.42 available. At reserve i'd expect him to pick up his scores. In the top 5 can't see him scoring more than what he's doing currently.

Averages normally change around 23rd of each month becoming effective on 1st of each month. When next averages come out Kildermand will i think still be on assessed average of 8.50 as he will only have had 5 out of the 6 meetings required to get a proper average. Cookie and Kemps averages could possibly go up as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could say I’m fit to ride, for everyone’s sake I’d hope Dickson wouldn’t put me at 3 though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems all riders prefer slick tracks mores the pity, only Bomber says he'd like more shale on track. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
