Oh & what happened at the end of 2015? Seem to remember he didn't turn up/was asked not to attend dinner & dance. Something to do with not returning equipment I heard Yep totally reliable.

Flappy Posted September 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 I'd sign Barker over Ostergaard on that average for next season and get him some decent bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flagrag Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 From what I have heard Peterborough are set to stick with Barker for the playoffs and are loaning him the Ashtech club engine that Nicholls was using in his few matches when he was flying. I do agree that not much between Barker and Wright but Barker more prepared to put it all in and a better team man. The 2015 situation people are mentioning was to do with a rolling chassis that the club provided that the rider failed to return but there is more to it with the club not keeping their end of the deal with things but all patched up now and I hear Ged was one of the first people in contact with Ben when he had a big crash at Sheffield earlier in the season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers have listed for Rye House away k/o cup meeting Ben Barker as guest at NO1 , I was under the impression that they couldn't use the same guest in away meetings for an 8 day period can Neil Watson possibly explain this .

I read in this week's Speedway Star that they have booked Chris Harris for the meeting at Rye House, then Ben Barker for the one at Peterborough. If that's correct, it's a little odd that the Panthers own preview does not reflect this. Edited September 21, 2018 by White City Rebel additional text added.
