ashtree123 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 So your saying let's not upset the riders just in case of the future but it doesn't matter what the riders done to the club against Poole cos the way I look at it Holder Batchelor Lambert and Huckenbeck all want sacking Holder refused to ride Lambert and Huckenbeck done the same all be it they got excluded for 2mins and Batchelor withdrew with a wrist problem but 24hours later guested for Bellvue so I say sod the riders No I'm not saying that at all. What I'm saying is if we want to make changes, then do it. Just don't do it in a vindictive way to try and stop them from riding elsewhere. As for Batchelor, can't see why anyone is surprised. Been that way since he's been over in the U.K. He's just a mood rider and always likely to be. In understand that Robert stayed in Poland to get a medical assessment on his wrist as he thought it was broken. I see no issue with that. He's had the all clear so heads to Sweden tonight. I would have an issue if he then didn't turn up on Wednesday but sure that he will. As far as I can recall he has never messed us about and always been committed to the Stars (heat 9 last week the exception). Why Lambert didn't go out was because he had asked for the ref to come down to the pits and inspect the track as it was dangerous, ref decided otherwise put the 2 mins on and when both Kings Lynn riders did not go out he then decided to head down looked at the track and buster had to do track work before meeting was allowed to go ahead. I totally agree with you Lambert has always been committed to the stars I would say also for the past 3 seasons 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIRKYLANE Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Any truth to the rumour that Holder has been sacked ?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Any truth to the rumour that Holder has been sacked ?????? No idea but if that is the case a few clubs might want to sign him before July 31st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve0 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) No idea but if that is the case a few clubs might want to sign him before July 31st.Can a suspended rider be signed by another club while suspended? If not that will be his season over if he is released before Friday's deadline. EDIT Neil Watson previously posted that Friday is the last date - not Monday Edited July 25, 2017 by Steve0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is KL and he has been sacked then he would be free to go elsewhere, if it is the BSPA then I doubt he could be signed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytogo28 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I was told the next day by a Kings Lynn rider that in his opinion there was nothing wrong with the track. I for one believe that. It may have been very grippy but that should enable committed riders to not only ride well but race well too. So what was it all about? The V Poole element of the match where Holder's loyalties ( if he has any ) were torn OR was it an anti Buster confrontation by the KL heat leaders? That is more likely why everyone at the club wants to sweep it under the carpet and put it behind them. Hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Should tonight's meeting go ahead as rain is forecast for today- think it may be more interesting off track than on - big question is how many will turn up after Meltdown Thursday?

Danny Connor Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 will separate the true core support from the fair weather fans. There is big event on in sandringham today. So if you come from out that way then leave plenty of time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jive Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Not sure, but the question would be who has suspended him KL or the BSPA. Neither have, it's the speedway control board who have suspended him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWP Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Re the track and Holder saga. I have heard, in directly I must admit, that track had had many tonnes of new shale put on it a few days before. The riders complain was they couldn't turn their bikes because the new shale was sliding over the old shale. Understand it felt as if track was moving under the bikes, rather than bikes sliding through the shale. It's a bit like the problem they had at Twinkenham/Cardiff in the 6 nations rugby, when scrummaging. In that case the pitch was sliding over its base surface. I haven't seen any comments from Holder as yet, perhaps when he does comment he may confirm this or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard something similar from a steward after talking with a track grader, in that. the new shale laid over the old didn't bond. When the bikes slid over it separated instead of bonding. Hopefully a one off problem that won't raise it head again..... Anybody watching could see there were problems with the track, even the Ref had he been interested. But that doesn't condone those who walked out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sticking up for Holder here.But as you are now saying you heard there were actually problems with the track,putting you in Holder's shoes would you want to do a job that is more dangerous than what it already is?It's a dangerous sport as it is,but if it is even more dangerous do you blame riders for making a stand.

It's clear the track wasn't to everyone's liking but it still remains that Poole riders raced on it whilst the Lynn riders didn't want to know. Indirectly I was told by one of the Poole riders that it was very grippy but raceable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all the riders had made a stand there would have been far less of a problem. One or two riders having tantrums is not the way to do it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
