I did some investigation and found this about Ward from Alan Boon:
@Robinvds70 @thestevecook Probably. He's thick as rubbish. Hopefully he'll die soon.
Oh dear!
£10 raised in 9 hours! They were rightly fined for not going out to race! Don't use the rider safety card when there were 9 heats previous to it in the same conditions! The meeting should never have started but it did.
I can't say I'm surprised with the additional fine for the promotion. However, no reference is even made as to whether the meeting should have started at all and that is the crux of the following actions!
Some serious average manipulation going on by Wolves!
Who says cheats never prosper - Wolves are on target to win the wooden spoon
They're even making Kenneth Bjerre look good
Yes - Poole didn't have much luck after Swindon went down to 6 riders
Krcmar didn't look too bad for his first home meeting. Given time, he should come good. Do Swindon have the benefit of time on their side?
But that is all BV have - their history. They have been by far the worst EL team over the modern era yet everyone still hankers back to the good old days.
