Starman2006 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 He's going pretty well too. Again like Bridger if he consentrates on what he's best at riding his bike he not a bad rider.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudtobeaBrummie Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 what average is he currently on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewy Posted May 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 what average is he currently on ?I think his average is 7-4ish i think he would do a better job than porsing at kings lynn tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 I think his average is 7-4ish i think he would do a better job than porsing at kings lynn tbh. If his numbers do fit, I agree with you, Barker would do a better job at KL than Porsing is doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 His average of 7.91 would put him in a heatleader role in many Premiership teams, which is why I think they have shied away from him. When the new averages are published he may well become a lot more desirable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewy Posted May 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Now ben has done 4h 4a his new average is 7-4ish which will be from early next week with bonus points hes averaging 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolebolton Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Well, people keep saying this but Tungate just got signed by someone. He hasn't announced it yet though. Probs be swindon and they will shuffle around. There should be a big reduce on British riders otherwise you will only get a Tai/Lambert every few years. Just saying in the last 10 years Poole have been the biggest team in the UK and we don't really like British riders. I don't mind TBH because as a young fan you want to see the best and we just don't see that. We have the money in this country to rival Poland. Trust me, Ive spoken to people and they could easily do it. BT sport will make or break it. At the moment its making it. But British riders might have to be put on a backburner to keep the sport going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree the way forward for british speedway is to back the brits the danes aussies and poles are more expensive flights accomadation etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 I think his average is 7-4ish i think he would do a better job than porsing at kings lynn tbh. He may well do but if he misses key away meetings because he is riding for Redcar it's a bit pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 A lot will also depend on the Championship to Premiership conversation rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hence why I said away meetings, apart from Wolves he could miss several. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Don't see it with Barker replacing Porsing. Feel Porsing will improve over the next year. Think Barkwr has maxed out a while ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
