Mark Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Am I right here ? Chris Holder & Batchelor have been released today. That is after the cut off so they cant get another GB club. But KL signed 3 other riders to replace the two sacked riders so that must have happened before the cut off. How come Holder & Batchelor were not told before today ? How can changes be made after a cut off date ? Edited July 31, 2017 by marky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pomoters would've known they were going to be replaced. I have zero sympathy. They shouldn't have walked out of a meeting after a track grade improved the track. It looked like they didn't want to be there. Edited July 31, 2017 by woz01 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurntFaceMan Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Good on Chapman on making an example of them. An example to who? The other GP boys who don't want to ride over here? We should be grateful to have them at all. This league is dog food. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Who cares? You reap what you sew. You are obviously a bit of a dick who can't understand a question. I want clarity of the rules not whether they have been made examples of. And I do care because things like this make the sport look a joke, and we've lost another GP rider who has been loyal to GB racing.

Star Lady Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 That not the point I'm asking for clarity about. I assume the changes were before the BSPA on Friday, as all changes have to be approved e.g. Ipswich. I guess no other promoters wanted to sign them so even had they been told it wouldn't have got them another berth. Had they been told they might have "leaked" the news before Lynn wanted it released.

You're guessing and wrong. No promoter could sign them as they were released after the cut off. Chris Holder @Chris_Holder23 17m17 minutes agoMore Well that pretty much sums up the boss of British speedway... releasing me and Troy a day after the cut of date for signings... cheers Edited July 31, 2017 by marky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattfordfan Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Disgusting. C. Holder should be allowed to sign for us on an emergency basis. Batchelor too if we can find a rule to bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyabb17 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 It's a joke, time for an independent body to come in & run it properly. We keep making mistake after mistake & making it look so unprofessional. How can you sack/release a rider Friday but only tell them on Monday after the dead-line, shambolic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurntFaceMan Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Riders with the attitude of Holder & Batchelor are major contributors to the current state of british speedway. No they aren't, they're nothing to do with it. We serve up dangerous sh*tty tracks to some of the best riders in the world, and then sack them when they refused to ride it. Not only do we sack them, but we spitefully ensure they cannot ride again in Britain this year. Well I can tell you now, they won't be back, and that will be a far bigger loss to us than to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
