bigeddiechek 1,094 Posted August 24, 2015 Let's (from an ousiders view) break this down: 1 - Barker was loaned to Berwick, until he got injured then Berwick took him out of the 1 - 7, so, when he signed for Peterborough, he wasnt on loan at the Bandits and therefore entitled to sign for the Panthers (or anybody else, in fact). 2 - Who "dropped" Ben barker has nothing to do with it. the Worker thing is a red herring on your part. I'd have a sick-note saying I'm off for a month (or whatever) but If I sign back off the sick before then, I can still go and work for who I like - depending on the contract. Barker isn';t employed by Berwick so is under no pressure to go back there at all. 3 - Barker may or not have misled Berwick. He was told his season was prob over and reported such to Bandits. Medical opinion can be often wrong and this one of those cases it seems to me. Nothing smells iffy. Spot on post. Some people on here are trying to make something out of nothing. It made no sense to Berwick or Ben to come back for a couple of meetings. I'm chuffed to see him back and fit so quickly after a horrific crash. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm chuffed to see him back and fit so quickly after a horrific crash. I have no problem with Ben going elsewhere for the reasons given,but I find it hard to fathom his interview on centre green, why he just didn't explain the possibility of him to another club if he felt fit enough.I can't believe that either him or the Berwick management had no idea this was possibility .A lot of fans will feel let down by the way it was conducted. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with you, given his injury its great to see Barker back, but you`d think he either could've mentioned it to the Berwick promotion or could've announced it during his interview during the meeting with sheffield. I am sure he would know he was signing for Peterborough. http://berwickbandits.co/article/memories-berwick-speedway-dvd Remember to bring those extra pennies next Saturday.
