just started raining again so club made the right call

Your R.E.D Bandits are delighted to announce the signing of Danish star Jonas Jeppesen!

Jonas replaces injured captain Danyon Hume in the lineup and goes straight into the side for this weekend’s matches against Glasgow.

A young dane, a young swede, Adam Bubba Bednar, Pollestad, Grmek, a pole not getting a ride for his team, Kyle Newman, Claus Vissing, Adam Ellis, Jonas Jeppesen, Nick Morris, David Bellego, Keynan Rew, Norick Blodorn, Dan Gilkes, Aaron Summers, Dany Gappmaier I’m going to stop now, but don’t say who, as if there’s no riders that would ride. The majority of them probably wouldn’t, but some would, and that’s the point. We’re stuck with Mr Unreliable at 1 when we’re already down to 6 riders, with plenty points in hand, it’s not good enough. This club is making money. 

There we go, well done to the promotion.

I’m happy to hold my hands up and give credit, as I was one of the first to criticise.

A good signing on paper, hopefully he can adapt to the tracks.

 Good signing.That should strengthen the side. well done too the Promotion.

Entertaining rider, had some good and not so good scores in the premiership. Should do okay in championship. You’ll get 100% from him that’s for sure.

Just hope the lad avoids all those ‘holes’ in the 3rd bend. Hopefully he's had a read through your posts about them and takes a wider line 🤞.

Jonas has been a good signing at B'ham...a no nonsense rider that puts it on the line in every race!

Dont worry about holes? if he can ride Perry Barr this season, he can ride anywhere! 😄

[Bandit59]

Well done to the promotion for getting him in if we don't make the playoffs can't say they never tried, have we got a guest for Sam on Saturday night?

[Mgas]

Any updates on either Cook or PK? I see both are missing from the Oxford side. Would be great to have both back this weekend.

Imagine wanting to use the racing line how awful, instead you need to use around 2 meters of the entrance to a corner instead of riding through craters.

Agreed very good signing you would hope he should do well at championship standard but not always the case as I thought PK when signed would be averaging 9-10 in the green sheets at this level.

Does he ride in Danish or Polish Leagues?

Let's hope when he goes to armadale he doesn't hit the pot holes on the inside line (Scott Nicholls) or ride the bumpy track (Oscar Polis).

All tracks have their flaws (including Edinburgh).

Scott hit the kerb not holes, Oskar has never once said it was bumpy either. 
 

Armadale along with Glasgow, Redcar and worky are the best prepared surfaces.

Jeppesen rides for Esbjerg in Denmark but that won't effect Berwick as they've already raced at Oxford & Poole.

He doesn't have a team place in Poland and he's too old to get called up by Denmark for any of these under age meetings
