With a poor forecast for tomorrow, and a depleted side at Newcastle, (Without our top 3), I do hope the failure to run this meeting doesn't cost Workington a place in the play-offs. Edinburgh will be rubbing their hands more than anybody if we don't get those vital 3 points against Peterborough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteelShoe 500 Posted September 13, 2018 Tim Hamblin reports in an article in SS that Ben Barker guests for Dan. It would appear on the face of it then that he has given backword. I await official confIrmation on this but it looks like very poor form indeed by rider and club. If you accept a guest booking then it's fair to say that should be binding. Workington forced to use NL guests for heat leaders having to ride in Poland yet the Panthers get a facility for a rider getting married during the season. Something smells somewhere and it always seems to be the same promotions looking to morally undermine the sport . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And as for Barker , well I can’t say on here what I think him to start with , but I really hope he has a rubbishter and never wears a Comets bib again, never liked the little ....(poo) , Look, Ben has special needs you can't discriminate against him like that. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I spoke to him after he rode for us 2 weeks ago and he said he was doing all our home meetings rest of season ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, Rene is there I hope! By top three I meant using the current green sheet averages (Nicolai 7.35, Ty 6.92, and Dan 6.77) Rene has a current green sheet average of 6.55. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was reported locally that Ben Barker was guesting for WORKINGTON on Friday. Now he is at number 1 for the Panthers! Ben Barker was in the Derwent Lounge after the meeting last week, and he was asked directly if he was guesting FOR US in the Peterborough Meeting ? His answer was a definite YES. So what the hell is going on here ? This smacks of something underhand ! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
