jenga Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Ben was offerd decent money, sponsorship, and use of private house and workshop. Panthers run on a tighter budget and couldnt match that so wished him well for the future. and as many sugar dummies as he could suck on. .. there was me thinking only footballers were offered houses and stuff. facu,s cash wont last long at that rate .

Don`t think Glasgow are actually giving Barker a house, just somewhere to stay when to cover his Glasgow meetings, I don`t think Glasgow would be the first team to provide accommodation for one of their riders. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has always been accommodation available for as long as i can remember for any riders that wish to use as you say not a new thing or unheard off.

Pretty sure Berwick speedway under Peter Waite used to provide accommodation for two or three of their overseas riders during the season. I don't begrudge Glasgow pouring money into speedway. It keeps another club from closing, but it also gives some small minded people a stick to beat them with.

Whats is happening at Glasgow is great news for speedway but unfortunately it brings out that great British trait of being jealous of others' success in quite a few posters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, I think Peter provided accommodation for Rymel, Makovsky and Franc when they first came over, as do the current promotion with Garcia for example last season.

New era Panthers Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Remember it, didn't bother me then doesn't bother me now. I think that I've made my point and quite (Frankly)have nothing more to add to this subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Ipswich provided accommodation for some of the Poles they used.... And a nice caravan it was too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Was it not in the nearby caravan park they were housed, screm. When our Czech trio first came over they had an apartment along the river front, I think after that Rymel and Franc had a flat near the docks with Malovsky getting accommodation from a sponsor.

Ben has a private house to stay in instead of sharing which i assume is owned buy one of the guys running Glasgow speedway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPJnr Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Does it matter, not with us. I think would have been a good asset for the team, but as gone on to pastures new, and will have to get behind current team we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
