King's Lynn Stars 2017


Recommended Posts

So is the ban for 28 days in this league or this country?

So there was some serious condemnatory official reaction to Holder's actions. Even if it weakens the Stars it is better to see that holding the fans in contempt will not be accepted. Will he learn? Will he get paid his guarantee package during his ban? Will other riders take note of what is unreasonable behaviour. We can only hope so.

I do agree with this, as I always say, it's their bodies, their bikes, their lives .... nobody can argue against that .....

What a surprise your defending them for me Lambert Holder Batchelor all deserve a 28 day ban and big fine as for Huckenbeck I feel he was swayed by his mate back to the defence Poole riders got there head down and got on with the job and fully deserved there win so tell me how can you defend the Lynn riders who refused to come out

Bet Holder signs for Poole after 28 days,bet you.!!!!

Can't change team (except injury) after 31st July. Holder is a Lynn rider until end of his 28 day ban - so until mid August. He may well be sacked by Lynn on that day to.

While Holder has got his ban,does anyone think Doyle should get one for witholding his services.It just seems he can ride in Sweden and Poland but not in England for Swindon.

But like Batchelor he was covered by medical certificates. In both cases it's the rules that are wrong IMO. If a rider is declared unfit during a meeting , like Batchelor, there should be a minimum time out period.e.g. Three days. After all riders bang on about safety, so if a wrist is not deemed strong enough to race on Wednesday surely the same wrist would be unsafe 24 hours later. Therefore riders should support it ...yeah right safety is only an issue sometimes

 

Not sure what can be done about riders riding overseas

So Kings Lynn sign Holder on 8.95 (real money) - and must be highly unlikely he will return- and he leaves on a less than 7 average.

No guessing who already has him pencilled in for 2018.

If Kings Lynn are stupid enough to take him back, its almost certain that average will fall further.

Well that's a loophole big enough to drive a double decker bus through. I wonder which Poole rider will come down with a season ending injury this year.

Couldn't they sign a rider now, ready to come in after 28 days?

I suppose they could sign a rider now.And if he turns out a good replacement they could get rid of Holder.I did say a few months back i think we should get rid of Holder before the averages dropped.We could have got a very good rider then,but now choices are limited with such a low average to work with.

I suppose in Doyle's case he could have a medical certificate in each country but only decided to have one in England.Hows that make Swindon feel knowing that they come the lowest on his list of priorities.But as there are some on here calling for a ban for Batchelor then the same must apply for Doyle.
