SCB Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 He will continue to live at home near Trelawney – exactly 500 miles from Shielfield Park – and if he has no other racing commitments (he’s signed up in Poland, has a number of German bookings and “as many Elite League guest opportunities as come my way” planned) intends to travel up on a Friday, to remain fresh for our home matches. Ben’s stature in the sport is perhaps a reason that we have no home meeting on June 13th – that’s the date set for the World Team Cup Final at Voyens in Denmark, and with his name surely an automatic choice for Alun Rossiter’s Team GB, why shouldn’t we be prepared to settle down in front of the telly that night and cheer on ‘one of our own’ as (provided they make the Final) the British boys go for gold? Would that be Trelawney in Zimbabwe or Jamaica? As for the suggestion a rider who is riding PL only will be riding for Team GB, well, thats madness. More so than the suggestion we'll even be in the final Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodiepatchie Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 Here is the news that Danny king is a diamond Bandits news letter first for all the news The Brough Parkers have got Danny King at the top of their team this season -- we're already salivating at the thought of his clashes with Ben Barker -- and have appointed former Bandit Ludwig Lindgren as their 2015 skipper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Another e-Newsletter out tonight.... Since people don't seem to want them replicated here, I'll just post the lead story and say they are further items tonight on Claus Vissing, Thomas Jorgensen, the Newcastle match, Gordon Inglis, Ian Paterson's superb museum, the press & practice, another rule change, Gordon Inglis, 2015 ticketing and hospitality bookings.. To read the whole e-Newsletters, all that's required is to go to the Bandits' website, enter your e-mail address in a box and click! BANDIT BEN There are some of us who can still hardly believe Ben Barker, fresh from the podium at last season’s British Championship, is a Bandit – but it’s true, it’s true! 26-year-old Ben (his birthday is next Tuesday, for anyone aiming to give him a card) has joined up as our new No 1 and is ready, willing and able to make his first Shielfield season a superb success. “I’m really looking forward to getting up there” he told Banditmail this morning. “It’s all so positive, my friends have got me very well-organised, there’s a place to stay and work on the bikes when I’m in the north, and when I get my motors back from service and my new kevlars delivered, I’m good to go!” Our cheerful Cornishman’s frank admission that things such as engines and racewear aren’t completely organised is refreshingly honest – and so much better that sky-high promises from others in the past which proved a little, shall we say, optimistic – boding well for Ben’s stature at our club. He will continue to live at home near Trelawney – exactly 500 miles from Shielfield Park – and if he has no other racing commitments (he’s signed up in Poland, has a number of German bookings and “as many Elite League guest opportunities as come my way” planned) intends to travel up on a Friday, to remain fresh for our home matches. “But the Bandits – beg your pardon, the Dixon Building Bandits – are top of the list at present” he assures us. “Berwick’s fixture list comes first, then I’ll look at other meetings”. Ben’s stature in the sport is perhaps a reason that we have no home meeting on June 13th – that’s the date set for the World Team Cup Final at Voyens in Denmark, and with his name surely an automatic choice for Alun Rossiter’s Team GB, why shouldn’t we be prepared to settle down in front of the telly that night and cheer on ‘one of our own’ as (provided they make the Final) the British boys go for gold? He will be arriving at Shielfield for our press’n’practice evening (less than three weeks away) in the middle of a busy spell of early-season skidding. Starting at Swindon this Sunday (8th) with the BenFund Bonanza – he is deservedly proud of being the only rider to have raced in every Bonanza to date – he’ll then drop in at Peterborough on March 15th where he’s in Rosco’s GB select squad, next to Ipswich for the Billy Sanders Memorial on Thursday 19th and, after checking in for our own photocall on the Saturday, there’s the little matter of Ricky Ashworth’s big day at Sheffield on Sunday 22nd. All of which will fine-tune Ben’s skills nicely for his first real test at the top of our team, when Newcastle’s Diamond geezers come calling on March 28th. Ben Barker’s a Bandit – we can STILL hardly believe it! Exactly 500 miles !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Must be right, Dick, Scott & Lani will have paced it out I`m sure your right, the club would never put out a newsletter with such inaccuracies, it would make them look a bit silly. I mean Danny King has now signed on again at Newcastle, I mean who knew that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fromafar Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 alltogether now !! "I would walk 500miles and I would walk............"That could be Bens signature tune when he wins his heats .there again it could also be used if he is not winning all his heats!!!
