IMO he should not be granted a facility for Glanz as none payment for services rendered means that Glanz has the right to withdraw his services until full payment is received, let’s face it if you don't pay BT for your phone line then they will withdraw the service to you until you pay your bill in full and I believe that all riders have the same right without the promotion being granted any facility to replace them, a facility seems like the BSPA is condoning the promoter not to pay his bills

As per the team declarations dated 23/08/2012 issue 20 Ben Reade is NOT in the Plymouth 1 to 7 follow http://www.speedwaygb.co/issues12/pl12_dec_20.pdf

Can you write anything different than "Somerset need to on their toes" I think our team and our management know what to do better then you, just because you also support Poole it dose not give you the right to keep preaching to us as to how the team should race and how many points they should score. At least when we have a close meeting the fans see speedway at it's best not boaring run away meetings that I have seen at Poole lately

At the moment he could'nt rattle a dustbin lid IMO he needs to go home and get his head together and start fresh next season with his racing head on

This has been a long standing booking for JBM and one that I presume the promotion were aware of

Is there any news yet about a new promotion it must happen soon

I wear a beret but I am not French

Your welcome at the OTA at anytime and you will not be ripped off

I believe that I am being very fair; Sam has been a totally different rider this year compared to last season he seems to have lost the fire in his belly and believe me I am not the only one to comment on this during the last couple of months. I have watched him at every meeting at Somerset that he has ridden in this season and IMO he was of a lesser standard than he was at the start of the 2011 season. I understand that he has had a couple of injuries this year and maybe he did return before he should have or maybe he should have sought further medical advice and returned with 100% fitness. It must have been a very tough decision to take but I can understand why they went the way they did. I sincerely hope that he gets fixed up very soon as speedway needs the likes of Sam and I am positive that he will visit the OTA with another team and kick our derrières

To be fair Sam has not scored to his full potential this season and seemed at times to be just going through the motions without the will to win a race, maybe he needs to mature a little more and up his game or else I can see his career in the UK being very short lived

Sorry Sir I did not realise that you are a Speedway guru what date do you start working with Sky Sports because like Pearson & Tatum your infinite knowledge of Speedway is making you look a right pratt

There is no home advantage at Somerser, mores the pity

If, as reported that he was fitting after the incident then I would presume that the injury is quite significant and that he should not be allowed to ride for some time yet. Concussion is a nasty beast and the symptoms and side effects can last in excess of 12 months

Who is going to take the honours on Friday night, personally I hope that Somerset can lift the title but I believe that the teams that will be in the final will be Scunthorpe, Newcastle, Somerset & Glasgow, with Scunthorpe taking the title from Somerset

Most important is that all riders end the meeting injury free and that speedway wins no matter what the score

He could be out for a lot longer than that. The time out is based on the severity of the head injury, the worst scenario is that he could be out for at least a month and would need a full neurological assessment before his racing license is reinstated.

Man & boy I have been involved in Speedway in some way since Easter 1951 and have held various posts during that time I even had a spell riding (total crap) but I had a go, and Istill do not know the rules

The BSPA are fully aware of the situation at Plymouth, remember that they hold Mr. Bowden’s bond of about £20k so the riders will get paid at sometime But they are not getting paid at all. But with all that said a contract is a legal binding document between the concerned parties

If there is an offer on the table for the promoting rights at Plymouth then I would strongly advise Mr. Bowden to accept the offer because if not he could end up like the mallets at Newport, no speedway no stadia, no money and countless creditors wanting payment. I have spoken to a number of Plymouth riders over the last few weeks and all have said that they are owed money by the promotion. I see on the BSPA site that Bowden says that Glanz is withholding his services and that he is hoping to get a facility to cover him, the BSPA should refuse this as it not the riders fault that he is unable to afford to ride the fault lies with the promotion for not paying what the rider is owed.

It will take a lot to beat the bar etc at Somerset

Seemond Stevens for promoter could not be any worse and he run's a succesful business and we will have Mark Simmons as co promoter

How can you say that he is accident prone when it was the actions of one of your riders that caused his injury

If thats the case then Mike "Golden Balls" Bowden has got away with not paying at least one rider

I feel that it’s about time that Nicki Glanz and any of the other riders that are owed money issue an order through the small claims court; they can also claim a small percentage of interest on the debt and costs and also inform the BSPA of their actions. This man must be stopped in the interest of speedway
