lewy 2,326 Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) While I agree with you, surely Berwick had ample opportunity to get rid of a rider where it was clear as to what he was up to, instead they left him in the team week after week to continue see his average fall to such a level that Newport took him off our hands. Do any riders move on from berwick on good terms,gjedde,barker,edberg,jensen,bellego to name a few? Edited December 7, 2015 by lewy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
proud panther 1,505 Posted December 7, 2015 SCB, run the bet at 8-5 points to allow him to settle in before he starts scoring 10+ every meeting. Loser donates £20 to the Ben Fund. Don't worry because I was convinced Lewis Blackbird would average more than Robert Lambert last year, so I am no expert when it comes to what a rider will average LOL.

Pity we didn't get rid of the German fraud at Glasgow for the same reason. Oh I forgot, they didn't treat him right and speak nice to him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allthegearbutnaeidea 1,734 Posted December 7, 2015 No they didn't as you well know!And your knowledge on recent Berwick riders is superior to mine how exactly? Jensen was the fans favourite in 2014, Barker still is a fans favourite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sparkafag 746 Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Do any riders move on from berwick on good terms,gjedde,barker,edberg,jensen,bellego to name a few? A few? It's 5 out of about 40y odd in recent years (I would also question any realtionship deteration with Edberg he simply underperformed) .I would doubt you will find a club in the league where every rider leaves on great terms and that's before you factor in the character of certain riders,for those you mention you could counter with people like Ashworth, Kus, Kozza and well Alden and Wethers who were so happy with Berwick they're coming back so the answer to the daft question is, yes.

Pinny 2,536 Posted December 8, 2015 Gjedde has returned from seasons out time and time again throughout his career with nasty injuries. I think, once settled, hell be a top 5 PL rider for plymouth. Was absolute dynamite for newport in his two thirds of a season there and was regularly scoring maximums. Averaged nearly 11 for us including bonus points i think. Good luck to him - hope he does very well 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
proud panther 1,505 Posted December 8, 2015 SCB, you have got a deal,can you confirm if his rolling average will still be a factor in his final average, if he rides all season ? Think we need a minimum amount of matches as well, because if he only rode for a few weeks, you would be quids in LOL. Just don't disappear off the forum if you lose, like the Ipswich fan did last year, when he lost the bet regarding who owned Lewis Blackbird. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or do you want to say more? And I don't think I'll be going anywhere even if I am wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
