Phil The Ace 2,853 Posted April 26, 2018 Barker got a slap I hear tonight. Anyone know what happened 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cue Ball 416 Posted April 26, 2018 After heat 13 I heard Howarth telling Steady that going down the back straight Barker had told him that he was going to put him on a stretcher... Kyle took offence! No idea what was behind it as I didn’t see that Kyle had done anything wrong. Somebody afterwards said that the threat extended to Wright as well, but I don’t know if that’s accurate or not. Kyle had words after the race, punches were thrown, mechanics were involved... then it kicked off in the pits after Kyle’s dad had a word with Ben... more punches were thrown.

graz gp 184 Posted April 26, 2018 Nobody around me saw anything going on between Kyle and Barker in any of their races. Maybe a bit of close racing between Charlie and Barker, but nothing like Barker does all the time. If you dish it out you should be able to take it back They all need to be warned before the return match on friday. We don't want anyone getting hurt.utt 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers89 1,922 Posted April 27, 2018 Barker being a gobby little sh!te..... never? The bloke will get his comeuppance one day when a rider takes real offence. shame because in there somewhere is a good exciting rider 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCookie 753 Posted April 27, 2018 Speedway could do with more of that. He should've tried saying it to Wilson/Matousek though, wouldn't have gotten out of there alive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlieboy 412 Posted April 27, 2018 Well done to all the riders for getting on with the meeting which can't have been easy with poor visibility and a wet track which dried out quite well late on.Proctor kept the meeting closer than if Kus would have road.Nice to see our reserves amongst the points and Charles Wright gets more entertaining week by week. Very good signing. Well done Kyle for taking no rubbish off Barker.Does anyone know why we don't get guests to cover for Bates ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cue Ball 416 Posted April 27, 2018 You can only have a guest for your number 1 - unless they are riding in an official meeting elsewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,757 Posted April 27, 2018 Because he's a second string so you can only use R/R. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlieboy 412 Posted April 27, 2018 Cheers for that. I know Peterborough and Ipswich have had guests for for non number ones when injured so wondered why we've not had guests.Think we should have got a temporary replacement as we are losing out on Bates points at the moment.

spin king 1,918 Posted April 28, 2018 Good all round performance from the Tigers, and the score flattered the Bears. Did not see the Barker/ Howarth incident, so cannot comment and I doubt we will get full story. Looking good for topping the group table, wonder if the Scorpions can make the best 2nd best team.
