StevePark Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Berwick Bandits rider Ricky Ashworth has been taken off a life support machine and is now breathing unaided, it emerged tonight. The Salford-based speedway rider remains in a coma at Hull Royal Infirmary, where he has been ever since his accident during Berwick’s away meeting at Scunthorpe almost four weeks ago. But there was more encouraging news tonight when Bandits team manager Ian Rae and his family went to visit Ricky in hospital. He was warmly greeted by Ricky’s dad Dave, step mum Pam and sister Jade. The rider has been moved out of the high dependency unit and is responding to voices. A statement on the Berwick Bandits facebook page read: “Ricky is now out of the High Dependancy Unit and now in a very small ward. He is no longer on a life support system and is breathing unaided. Although Ricky remains in an un induced coma , he is responding to voices. “Today when Ian took Ricky’s hand and spoke to him Ricky responded by opening his eyes and squeezing Ian’s hand. “Doctors are continually monitoring his situation and it is hoped that Ricky will be transferred to a neurological ward in a hospital in his home town of Salford in the next few days.” Ricky’s sister Jade revealed on a social networking site at the weekend that Ricky had ‘squeezed her hand’ when she sat at his bedside. I think the above post puts everything into perspective. Keep fighting Ricky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YAMYAMBANDIT Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Alden out, Liam Carr in! Get 2 brand new engines under Liam, he becomes a good punt. On the gear he has now, not good enough for P.L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Get 2 brand new engines under Liam, he becomes a good punt. On the gear he has now, not good enough for P.L. Ithink Carr has to be considered as a reserve next season he is improving and if we don't use him next season we MAY miss out on someone who MIGHT actually be a big improver on a 3pt average.Starke has not let us down can't see him being that much better next year and he is not an asset .Carr's average mean we may find another reserve with the points we have to play with that will benefit the Team building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
