Trouble is you can’t really be semi retired in speedway you are either in or out during the season.He might come out of retirement though.

With a 6.71 average it won’t be this season unless there are wholesale changes in the Team.(which Berwick always say they don’t do). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveusaB Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Is Luke Becker still a possibility with what we have left ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, his final average attained with Wolves is 5.27, so depends what the conversation rate is. If it is *1.44 or lower then yes.

Col Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 There isn't an obvious fit from the riders that attained CL averages in 2019. The ones that fit (7.3-7.59) such as NBJ, Summers, S Worrall, Heeps, Kerr & Howarth have all signed elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also doubt he'd get a visa for both leagues as that was his issue last year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveusaB Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 does anybody know if we've secured a 'professional' track curator for next season? I think that this 'signing' will be as important as our final 'team' member!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummie Boy Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Looking more and more likely to me our seventh man will be Ben Barker. His average fits, he rides PB well, was always worth watching when he rode for us last time and frankly I can't see him fitting in anywhere else (a part from Newcastle) with the rider signings made so far. Some on here have mentioned that he 'comes with baggage', but I don't know what that means. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiveusaB Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 I think its more funny reading the Poole thread and seeing them in panic mode over who they're going to sign ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd not have signed Harris & Garrity. THJ because at least he could at least gate once. You don't average 8ish in the Polish Ekstraliga without being able to gate. Barker (like Garrity & Harris) has never been a reliable gater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't read Poole threads! Their bunch of annoying twits invade every thread regardless of its relevance to their club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
