It said they spoken to him on November 19 to inform him he wasn’t part of the team planning. The club then informed the BSPA so they could put him on the availability list. Now that’s a bold statement, which is why I believe it. Every club could verify that statement as either true or false, so if it was false, then it’s a bit risky putting it out in the public domain. I had heard that he was on his way, and there were whispers on here in fact at the back end of November too. I’m pretty certain Craig would have had some inclination. Rohan Tungate posted his update on the 29th, so he was clearly told fair and square. Why would they treat Craig any different?

Which is what I suspected before hand. craig is just your bog standard, run of the mill rider. It also ties in with the rumours that he wasn’t part of the plan. There are a couple of fan boys on social media, they know who they are some post on here, who engage mouth before brain. It’s good that the heart is there but sometimes you have to keep your counsel. Wish Craig all the best for the future but the time was right

The narrative on social media will be that he was shat on. I think the reality is he was potentially asking for too much coin. This rumour has been moving for a few weeks now so he knew something was in the pipeline. As has been said, costs will be cut and if Craig is wanting more then it was never going to end well. He ain’t getting his gp money now so needs to make it up. He won’t be cheap, so Peterborough will have to fork out.

You get this every off season with Craig. where will he go? Travel to east Anglia or Poole for every home meeting? Swindon was potential given the cfs links etc but they’ve gone with Doyle. If they do still take him then Morris will be at bv or something along those lines but I’d bet my bottom dollar he’s back at bv

Never mind Lynn Never mind

He should transfer that knowledge to darts

Play offs can throw anything up. Massive, massive advantage for Lynn though. I'd go Worrall/Fricke/Bellego/Tungate for Craig's rides. Steve seems to be starting meetings better than hes finishing them currently. Hopefully if Rohan is on it then heat 13 wont be so bad. Huge underdogs now. Hopefully that will spur on the boys.

Congratulations kings Lynn. Not even a contest now.

It's been said on Twitter no break. Cant remember who said it now, but Craig liked the tweet. Although its Twitter so anything goes.

Apparently nothing is broken, which looking at that picture, is a minor miracle.

Etheridge guests for Riss. Cook is listed but I'd say doubtful. Otherwise unchanged.

That wrist will stiffen up a treat overnight. I want him to race but only if he's only 100% fit. He needs to think of the team before himself on this one. I know it means a lot to him but that doesn't matter here

Batchelor is very good round the nss and doesn't particularly get along with kl. Simple choice. Gutted for Craig but honestly I dont think it will have that much impact.

He did lift but that just adds to the theatre. All good races have different things that make them special. He was under so much pressure it forced the mistake. That race was better than last week. The TV production and the live factor made that race last week what it was, but last night was better. They were all in the race and literally you could throw a blanket over all 4 of them. Agree with the other poster about cook. I actually think he's got progressively better this season and as poor as he's been in the GP I think we are now actually seeing the benifit of it for Craig. He's becoming more aggressive and his last interview on SGP alludes to this. He's racing the track, not the riders now. Shame. I think this season is going to hurt him over the next couple of seasons.

That was better than last week. At some point every rider had the lead during that race and every rider was essentially at the back as well. BV/Somerset do seem to enjoy each others company. Well done to them on the win. I have a sneaky feeling BV are going to do KL after last night.

Surprised by the result. Perhaps the lack of experience in this environment proved pivotal for Somerset. All over bar the shouting.

They have but we've been weakened with injury in some of those meetings. Again they get to race us not at full strength. Bewley is a huge miss but it'll be extra motivation for the team.

They were and rightly so. I'll never advocate it. As stupid as the rules are, they are not there to be broken. Certain clubs are seasoned at finding loopholes because there are so many of them. This year perhaps BV have got a bit lucky, but we deserve a bit of that for persistently following the guidelines.

You should give credit when credit is due. Your defense is weak. You know as well as the rest of us, including your fellow Poole fans, that you have an issue with the NSS. Why is beyond me. Its one of the best things to happen to British speedway in donkeys years. Unfortunately it won't matter a jot in the grand scheme.

He can't handle the fact that something is better than his beloved Poole. It's a sad mindset.

Different promotion. Its not in bvs dna to cheat, which is why floodgate was called out so easily because its not something we do. Poole on the other hand are seasoned cheats so know the system.

You need to leave it Steve. Your making wild assumptions without any foundation. He has been involved in a series of crashes recently and isn't fit to race. It's as simple as that.

The rule says you can use guests for someone withholding their services. There is no cheating at all here. Bottom line is it won't make barely any difference. BV won't get passed KL.

We won't be signing anybody. We will be using guests.

Steve he is injured. Look at his scores over the last month. He isn't the same rider. Please don't put BV in the same category as Poole. We don't cheat.
