Hamster00 149 Posted November 13, 2022 Of the four announced tonight - it is good to see Jonas back but other than that it’s underwhelming Assuming we need a 2 pointer to make it all fit and Stoneman is fine for that Personally I’m not as excited as some to see Jorgensen return but we shall see in time and will have a better idea when the final two are announced Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthegearbutnaeidea 1,735 Posted November 13, 2022 Jorgensen on his Scunny average from 2021 is a fantastic signing, but Jorgensen on his converted average is a woeful one. Great to see Jonas back. Would of preferred Jye to move on. Stoney will do a job at reserve, done well for a 2 pointer for us Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted November 13, 2022 Wouldn’t of touched Jorgensen on that average I wouldn’t of went near. That’ll drop however and be space to make changes later in the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaizer 2,864 Posted November 13, 2022 With greatest of respect has Jorgensen ever even broken an 8.00? 9.5 it wouldn't be me taking the chance. Memories of the stripes taking dickie juul on similar average, didn't get close Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joining Leon Flint Racing as confirmed FTS Bandits so far for 2023 will be the following riders Thomas Jorgensen Jonas Knudsen Jye Etheridge Nathan Stoneman We are delighted to welcome back all 5 Shielfield Park heroes for the upcoming season. Thomas Jørgensen Racing was amongst the most spectacular and popular home riders in recent memory in his previous stints as a Bandit and we can’t wait to see TJ back in action Local hero Leon Flint will proudly skipper the side & Jonas Knudsen will look to continue his rocket like trajectory alongside our super popular local based Aussie Jye Etheridge and the ‘never give up’ heroics of Nathan Stoneman. After scooping all of the awards on Friday night we learned that Chris 'Bomber' Harris is unable to commit to Championship Saturday nights in 2023 due to a very busy international racing schedule and we wish Chris, his family and his team all the very best. We were fully aware that the Bomber could only commit initially to 2022 and we are grateful for a thrilling season from one of the greatest ever! Stay tuned this week for some big sponsorship announcements via all Berwick Speedway Bomber to Glasgow maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spin king junior 394 Posted November 13, 2022 average will Jorgensen come on? Very surprised Berwick have retained Knudsen, should prove a great signing for next season if the rumours are true of a lowered average limit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
