Given that they seem to be related to personal rather than speedway issues I don't think they can be aired on a public forum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the track it's will have been one to one ( probably mates) conversation or a small group...slightly different to putting it out on a public forum. Mind you I think you already knew that and you're trying to stir it for some reason 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boz Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Gutted for Ben, but not a massive surprise. Hope he can get things sorted. Ulrich would look to be an almost obvious replacement. Not sure on averages, but what would the likes of Becker or Bellego come down on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people were openly discussing it at the track as you say, what's the difference? I mean come on buddy you are having a laugh surely ???? For a start a face to face conversation is less likely to be taken the wrong way or there be lees chance of any confusion .Secondly a speculative conversation (im guessing ) between a handful (im guessing) of people you know, is completely different to putting it on a forum thread currently viewed 45,781 times do you not think ?

allthegearbutnaeidea Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Says on the gazette that he would get a ride somewhere else? Makes it even more confusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortythirtyeight Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 30 minutes ago, allthegearbutnaeidea said: Says on the gazette that he would get a ride somewhere else? Makes it even more confusing What's confusing? Redcar have released ( sacked ) him for ' personal reasons' which obviously have impacted on the club or they wouldn't have released him. The whole speedway world knows of his previous history and its standard these days when releasing a rider to state ' we hope he gets a ride elsewhere' . Barker is one hell of a talented rider who wastes his talent because of ' personal issues '. If he put the money and effort into his speedway he would still be a heat leader in the premiership and an England regular but it's not going to happen and we wait and see which club is prepared to take him on next, will there be one? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s had plenty of chances to “ sort himself out” but fails miserably.Pity because he is an entertainer when on the bike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
