I am shocked that they are settling for a team 3 points under the limit and to me it shows a lack of ambition and is not fair on the season ticket holders who bought in thinking we had a title winning team but unfortunately now we haven't. Not sure I agree that it’s gate and go. It does seem more difficult to get an outside pass done but heat 8 against wolves was one of the finest I’ve seen at the showground with passing inside and out , and there has been plenty of overtaking in the 3 meetings so far. It may be riding slightly differently so the big blast round the fence isnt as effective at the minute but the riders may just be having to think out their overtakes a bit more. Certainly Tungate hasn’t had a problem overtaking which is a good thing considering how poor his gating has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Troy Batchelor has his sponsor Roger Warnes Transport on his red kevlars in colour with a white shadow around, makes your blood boil at the ridiculous stand off stance between Chapman and Cook.

Firstly, Troy doesn't ride for Buster, so I don't see what that has to do with it. Secondly any employee who wants to dictate terms to their employer better be pretty sure they are irreplaceable before they do so. and cut their nose off to spite their face. This whole thing is about who thinks they have the power. I'm no fan of a lot of what Buster does, but I would not employ someone and then have them tell me what they are going to do and how they are going to do it and that I should be grateful for it. If Cook is such a messiah, why did Belle Vue decline to use him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but I prefer fast with extra bite and the potential to improve further on that. That's what Chapman has bought to the EoES in 2019 so I'll settle for that at the moment.

If Cook is such a messiah, why did Belle Vue decline to use him. They had to lose about 2.5 points from last year's team. Fricke, Bewley and Worrall are assets and Bjerre is likely to do at least as well as Craig but on a lower starting average. Keeping Craig would have meant no Bjerre and weaker second string/reserves.

Im aware that Batchelor doesnt ride for Buster , i used him as an example of the fact he has mostly red kevlars and that hes got coloured sponsor logos still highlighted by the white shadowing that makes them easily visable, my point was that if both Chapman and Cook had a bit of give and take then they both would of been better off in the situation, there both to blame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly looks that way now for sure as Ipswich and Lynn have colours other than white on there kevlars and Batchelor didn't have a problem with his main sponsor being in different colours on his bike or his kevlars, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only coloured one on Ipswich is Tru Plant and I can’t see any on the Lynn kevlars. Troy can do what he wants as he isn’t a Chapman rider. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Buster had allowed Craig coloured sponsors then he'd of had a game with the other 6 rider's. Buster in this case 100% right, and Craig has made himself 110% poorer. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest, any rider could end up at any club and it wouldn't be all that much of a surprise. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
