Mr boughen was at northside arena,  but apparently did not like the new pits layout, no vans allowed in the pits now, , he wanted to use the car park beside his van as his own personal pit !!!

Refused to move then went home

Interesting. I have had it suggested to me that he was 'high maintennance', looks like this could be true.

No winners then, if that's the case (and we'd have to hear his side of it). Boughen misses a meeting on what appears to be a good track for him (he had a fabulous race there with, IIRC, Pijper in the U21 meeting), his team are weakened and the meeting as a spectacle is devalued.

Some disciplinary action required if all this is true!

I don't want to judge a rider before hearing his version of events, but if what I've read is true, it's the most embarrassing display I've ever heard of from a Speedway rider! Maybe Zmarzlik could complain about having too small a pit bay in the GPs but not Boughen at NL level!

I also can't help but wonder who drove him up? At 15 he can't drive, so has he really thrown a strop which means his parents / mechanic has driven him all the way to Workington for nothing?

Very keen to hear what the explanation is through official channels from Workington / Leicester / Boughen!

Must've known what to expect, he was only there a couple of weeks ago

I very much doubt whoever drove him up, would just let him leave and drive him back if they didn’t agree with him! Read into what you will. 

Young riders are usually influenced by their elder guardians. Henry Atkins was a lot like this, heavily influenced by his father and that often backfired for him. Thankfully, Atkins seems to have grown up now and is starting to show some potential.

If he was advised to leave by his mechanics, guardians, advisors etc then that would be even worse! Especially from a helper to a young rider! 

Anyway all speculation till the truth comes out!

It was suggested his father was with him and could well have been the overwhelming influence in what occurred. Apparently car parks cannot be used as pits for health and safety reasons, this didn't suit and resulted in them leaving. If this is the case it is diabolical, there were a good few Leicester fans who gratefully made the journey and this action may well have cost them a victory bearing in mind the dominance  Ashton demonstrated on track the last couple of weekends. It is these Leicester fans I feel a lot of sympathy for, quite disgraceful actually.
