Bager's last appearance in the UK was for Glasgow in the 2013 season. He was pretty poor as well and despite then having years of experience frustratingly stuck to the inside line like even when the dirt had long since moved out.

 

Perhaps on better equipment he could be better though i think the PL is a bit stronger than last time he was here even for a middle order rider.

Relieved he's gone to Berwick, good luck to him though. I can remember him white lining around the showground quite well busting a gut and getting nowhere . I wouldn't have thought he was suited to the Berwick track, I always thought he was more suited to the smaller tracks where when he gates , stays on the inside he can be a tricky customer.

Bandits announced a change.

We have just taken a massive step backwards agree with previous post MPT would have been a much better option and fits in nicely for average or some new blood on a five. I know riders might be thin on the ground but !!!!

Look on the bright side, at least we have addressed the issue of an under performing or injured rider, and if Mellgrens injury was going to keep him out long term we would need to make a change anyway, also we will run with seven riders which must be better than running R/R for the long term, something the club has done in the past. Not quite sure Bager is the answer, though he should be able to do better than Mellgren was doing.

Certainly ups the average age of the Team we will have the most expierianced Team in the League!!!!!!!

[allthegearbutnaeidea]

Let's give him a chance, at least there's no R/R

I agree but if he is gash Matty can still take extra rides hope he is feeling better this weekend

Is he an injury replacement?

Given your connection with the Club could you not just correct the Poster if he has misunderstood the Newsletter .

Acting promptly to avoid any recourse to the rider-replacement regulation, team boss Scott Courtney last night announced the signing of Danish rider Henning Bager to replace Anders Mellgren in our official 1-7.

"I'm excited to welcome Henning Bager back to Berwick" Scott told us. "He is an experienced and capable performer and I'm confident he will enjoy his position in the side".

Born at Esjberg in February, 1981, Henning has wide experience of British racing, and has continued riding in his homeland since last appearing in the UK (for Coventry) in 2012.

His brief sojourn as a Bandit came in 2008, when he was signed up by then-promoter Peter Waite on a 28-day early-season contract, leaving as mutually agreed to concentrate on continental bookings. Weather was to blame for Henning racing in only three matches in black-and-gold, racking up an average for the club of 7.00.

Racing for Mukebo just last night, his points helped his team (including Kenneth Bjerre and Ulrich Ostergaard) defeat the home team (starring Jason Doyle) by two points in their Danish ExtraLeague visit to Grinsted.

He will slot straight into our side on Saturday, taking over Anders' No 4 race-jacket against the Diamonds.

We are, of course, sorry to see Anders Mellgren on the sidelines. Our PLRC past-winner, had showed us what he could do in our final meeting of 2015 and was poised to hit the ground running this term. Instead, what had simply seemed to be "a sore knee" has turned out to be a much-more-serious matter.

Following ten days of tests, scans and therapy in Sweden, Anders returned to our colours against Glasgow and was confident the joint would stand up to the rigours of racing --- but in Heat 3 against Scunthorpe his knee "went" again, and although he held on to gain a gallant third place he returned to the pits in agony, literally shaking all over from the pain and had to be lifted from his bike.

Having been assessed yesterday at a rehabilitation clinic, he has been told he may require surgery -- not unlike the operation which took Claus Vissing out of our line-up from the mid-way point of last season -- and we cannot but sympathise with this most-likeable young man.

 

This is the announcement of the Bager signing from the Berwick news letter, if someone can point out they have announced Bager as an injury replacement I`d be very grateful.

Sorry about the mess with the copy and pasting.

Even though there is a sense of union at Berwick this season, it does appear that certain folk concerned with the club seek division, it must be now fairly obvious that these same people caused the division in previous seasons in the 1st place.
