RebelDan 203 Posted June 18, 2018 Gutted about this, Charles is terrific value around the OTA and Always gives 110%. I’m disappointed any differences couldn’t be resolved. The two changes significantly weaken us. I feel sorry for Jonas he was on the pace and I felt some decent scores were not far away, maybe we will use again in the future. Thank you Charles for 6 great seasons, fantastic entertainment and unquestionable commitment on the track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RebelDan 203 Posted June 18, 2018 If it’s true that Charles was sacked via text that is disgraceful behaviour to an employee who has given the club 6 years loyal service. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although totally different circumstances I recall - with a slightly wry smile - when Poole dropped the 'loyal Kyle Newman' last year there was an outcry in favour of the rider, but when Somerset drop the 'loyal Charles Wright', some are totally supportive of the management! Strange bedfellows some of speedway's folk!!! Edited June 19, 2018 by Skidder1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

screm 8,050 Posted June 19, 2018 Seems all was not well in the Somerset camp, which has lead to these changes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aroundtheboards 264 Posted June 20, 2018 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 !!! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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?

romans lovechild 143 Posted June 20, 2018 not very professional by any employer to get rid of one person by text and another by a facebook message,when the majority of employers in this country will not accept an absence at work via text, tut tut somerset. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave1964 4 Posted June 20, 2018 Have tried to get new LED floodlights installed but initial costs have frightened promotion. The amount saved in running costs would repay quite quickly. http://www.sportsbeams.com. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Cheese 2,022 Posted June 20, 2018 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
