foreverblue Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 And the league gets watered down even more, the championship will be stronger soon So a 28 day ban wasn't sufficient No not sufficient if you want riders to sit and notice that maybe they can't do what they like and there will be no repercussions.

Lord Skid Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 They haven't broken any laws, why can't people understand that, you sign their contract, to play by their Rules, if you don't like it, then don't join their game. And if you are a big trouble maker, then their way of dealing with it is simple, there won't be a Team place available for you, end of problem. If you are a decent Rider, cause no problems, then the chances are, you will have a job. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Have any other promoters ever spoken out? Just like all the times you've claimed Poole were cheating to some degree, and yet not a word was mentioned by any other promoter. Are you kidding me?!

Star Lady Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Still not a word of condemnation or even disapproval from other promoters/team managers. Strange given that one of them is also the Aussie team manager Looks very much like a united front to me.

Popular Post Pinny Posted August 2, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 There wont be any uproar about it as it was the right decision. The brat and holder stormed out of a meeting and made Buster look a tosser, hes had his well earned revenge by screwing them for the rest of the season. Good on him. I look at it from my point of view. If newport were still riding and our number one pulled out, then rode for a rival play off team the next day with a good score id be furious. And if our superstar didnt fancy the track and walked out id also be furious and would happily see them sacked. Perhaps that prat woffy can give them Some of his own advice - dont ride in the uk next season and none of this will happen. Good riddance to two moaning, whinging, past their best Aussies. Be great if that whinging tw@t scheiln pissed off out of Uk speedway as well 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He later attended hospital & was advised that there was no break & only ligament/tendon strain & so he rode the following day, taking a chance as the track at Belle Vue was fine.

Starboy118 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I worked with two in my last place. Various managers couldn't do a thing as they knew fine well they'd go straight down the "harassment" road and they just couldn't be bothered with the hassle. One of them cited "ladies problems", when some of us knew fine well she'd been out all weekend on the lash and couldn't be bothered to come in. The other guy had so much time off on compassionate grounds we worked out over the eleven years I worked with him he'd buried his grandmother five times. Christine and Troy by any chance?

noaksey Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 It would be silly to ride on a dangerous track in a dangerous sport. In retrospect a ride through the tapes in heat 13 would have been a better option but I doubt that entered his mind in the heat of the moment. Buster Chapmans behaviour has now alerted the top riders and he could struggle to attract anyone of quality next season. Suprised Jonathon Chapman hasn't made a comment about this whole debacle. He made his decision knowingly went against the rules and has been punished by the governing body as is right and proper and surprise surprise his employer doesn't want to employ him anymore. He's got zero complaints in my book 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noaksey Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Not 100% sure what went on that night at KL, but it's the promoters prerogative to sack a rider. The timing is the real issue, obviously made out of spite and malice, leaving both riders absolutely no options. I have some sympathy for Holder, but the real villain of the piece is Batchelor for faking the injury, then accepting a guest booking the following night. That's idiotic Holder should have issued an immediate apology to fans, team mates and his employer. That wouldn't have avoided the ban but just might have saved his job 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Bloke Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) What about his performance at Liecester was his"injury " playing up again! He must of had a flair up ....The ligament/tendon strain,had healed enough for him to ride well the next day 0,3,3,3,and about 3 days after that 3,2,2,3. Then his next meeting for Lynn he scored x,1,3,0,0. Edited August 2, 2017 by Bald Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I would ever go just to watch Eddie Kennett for example, if i went as a neutral I would need 5/6 riders to be there that i liked to go.
