Robinh88 Posted December 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Assuming Gjedde earned £100 a point I reckon he was probably pissing himself laughter with the veasiest £1,200 in his back burner leaving the spiritual home of British Speedway.  If you don't like the announcer a) don't listen find some mates who have better craic (which lets be fair, it aint too hard) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 too much to say on here but basically took it too far a funny joke ignoring him on the parade escalated into farsical treatment by Barrie the man was a disgrace There was much anger towards Gjedde at the time , from all corners of the stadium , not just from the microphone . We were down there on league business the night Dick announced Gjedde had been dropped and the cheer was deafening . Clearly things weren't right with Gjedde at Berwick , he went onto prove what a good rider he was when he moved to Newport , so you can't really blame Dick Barrie for relaying the feelings of the support in general . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinh88 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 You could tell with Gjedde's first meeting even the practice something wasn't right. It was poorly handled by the management given the fact that 3 weeks pre his sacking/leaving the club were all behind his efforts (or lack of them) To top it all off we signed Tam Sike on a 5 point average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was poorly handled by the management given the fact that 3 weeks pre his sacking/leaving the club were all behind his efforts (or lack of them) To top it all off we signed Tam Sike on a 5 point average didnt gjedde blame the fact there was a brick wall behind the fence for his lack of form nothing to do with back handers Newport Edited December 29, 2013 by Goodiepatchie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythman666 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 The signing of Gjedde for whatever reason didn't work out.....end of story, case closed. We are now heading into 2014, and still people want to talk about Charlie Gjedde, get a grip, it's old news. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinh88 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 (edited) Those first 3 races against Rye. He showed just how easily he would have won races at Berwick. When the going got tough at the end of the meeting Gjedde coasted around earning another £300 it was the perfect performance.  I don't think he was taking back handers of Newport while at Rye the following year. Gjedde found himself at reserve for both Swindon and Belle Vue in the Elite League yet at times was not far off a 9 point average. Very inconsistent rider it would seem Edited December 29, 2013 by RobinH88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yep, and I would be it is the same ones that desperately need something to moan about in their little lives. I must say, the ignore feature on here is a boon! Â Can't wait for the season to start! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mythman666 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 It'll be interesting to see how Edward Kennett is dealt with by Mr Barrie when the Rockets are up To be fair...I would like to think that Edward Kennett will get a good welcome back to Berwick. In my opinion away from home he was different class. He hasn't ever been a big track rider and probably never will be. But I dont think there should be any animosity towards him....if there is I will be disappointed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did a decent job for us. Not strong round Shielfield, but some big scores away from home.  Was a good temporary signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came to us just at a time when he seemed to lose a bit of confidence too.  Good signing for the Rockets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normski Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 i wasn't at Redcar when he rode there for us but I'm reliably told by a Redcar fan that he was the best rider they have ever seen there i was lucky enough to have been at redcar that night and for want of a better word he gave a masterclass on how to ride that track in poor weather conditions i wish him well at rye house 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
