Stefan Nielsen replaces James Wright. Two riders have now been dropped by the Tigers. The two, who, in my opinion, have been the biggest disappointment have kept their team place.

I think they will be replaced in the near future if results don’t improve. It’s up to bachelor now riding at 3 with less pressure. If he can’t produce now then he will have to go. I’d give him 3 meetings to get sorted. Nielsen has top flight experience so should be a good move

If we have another three defeats, could be too late. A good replacement for Batchelor now harder to find with his lower average. 

Now Batchelor signed for Kent, be interesting to note his scores, considering the speculation about him deliberately reducing his average.

Yes I understand what your saying but hopefully Nielsen can rack up a few more points than Wright  did. Didn’t he ride for Ipswich previously so could be useful on Thursday. In the meantime Bachelor might be feeling a bit happier with himself now he’s got some more meetings to look forward to and with dropping down to no3 he might relax a bit more on the bike and bang some big scores in which he’s well capable of

Finding a replacement for Batch is easier said than done, there is no one apart from maybe Rohan Tungate (Dropped by his Polish club but not a consistent performer.) a possible replacement.

There will be riders that will come available when riders that ride for Polish clubs that are not going to make the Play Offs and racing in GP series maybe be prepared to come over and act as replacement for Batch.

These riders will come available after the last fixture due to ridden between 20th to 22nd August.

Nicki Pedersen

Chris Holder  

Kenneth Bjerre

Are riders could well be ready and willing to come over and ride for the club.

Isn't there still a cut off date when no changes can be made like in previous years?

Personally think it is a case of Batch not riding enough to get any good form going than dropping his average.

Chris Holder being the most realistic choice! However it depends how good friends he is with Batch, might break the friend code taking his job!

He appealed, so the sentence was suspended until it had been heard I believe.

In true speedway fashion, I imagine that the appeal will be heard in October, the 6 month ban will be upheld which should just about take him up until the new season starts…
