The word 'entourage' springs to mind!!!:rolleyes:

Don't like to come on another teams thread normally, sorry rebels fans.

But Clive it's wearing thin now, don't forget you were called into the office at Poole about your own "entourage's constant online comments, hence various online portals disappearing. History move on like everyone else.

This I suspect has been bubbling for the last month or so since the track was in such poor state and the riders showed their displeasure. Wrighty being Wrighty is a nice bloke but as a northern chap calls a spade a shovel and wouldn't have minced his words if he was being gagged by the promotion. The track didn't suit his style and he was being hampered from giving his best and I think that's why it's boiled over and  May has cut his nose off to spite his face IMO. Doyle kicked up a fuss but Miss H wouldn't upset him because he is WC. There by hangs another point in question, any WC is only as good as his last ride and he won the Crown last year ! He hasn't come to the party in the guise of WC, far from it !!! There is frustration all around in the Somerset camp !!!

Whilst I know what you are referring to, I've never been 'called into the office'!  I wasn't even in the country when the forum closed if thats what you mean?!.

Incidentally I'm in the office every week, by choice.

All I'm saying is that when it comes down to a 'club v rider' dispute, fans have differing views.

Btw is Charles a Poole asset?

I know Somerset aren't the first to do so but don't understand why anybody would think that sacking someone by text is acceptable. Reading Wright's version of events that he attempted to make amends it's a shame any problems couldn't have been sorted out then,.

Jeppesen seemed to have made a promising start, hopefully he can get himself a Championship place.

No real surprise to see the Somerset promotion upsetting the fans again

They portray themselves as friendly approachable people but that is the furthest thing from the truth.

I hope more people like myself and my travelling friends walk away again just like we did last year after there unbelievable behavior

Think Charles version is slightly different to the promoters version.

Listening to Garry Mays interview it suggests an apology from Wright to May was all it would have took to restore calm.

 

Sounds like the damage is done. And does it help to mention "whether he means it or not" re an apology? Bit pointless, if it's not sincere it's worthless.
