    Seems like Flappy has got under one or two peoples skin.....believe him or don't believe him, up to you, but don't see the need to have a go at him. 

    Annoyance that he knows stuff others don't would be my guess.

    Bit of exaggeration  to claim people are having a go at  him/her. I am certainly not

    Batchelor is better than Andersen, & will average more next season, so a strange reaction. Personally hope it's neither, & it's Buzz.

    Whoever the new owner is  you will not be overly popular  if Batchelor is brought back. Arguably as a rider has his merits but many would have severe doubts as to  his other qualities.

    My local foodbank are not supplying me with the quality or quantity of wine that I  believe I am entitled to . Things would I am sure be a lot  different under a Labour Government they appreciate such problems . They know   that the Tories  have bought up all the good stuff  with the money accumulated from  avoiding tax  just leaving the ordinary bloke to make do with Vin Ordinaire

    Must admit I am at a bit of a loss as to the Batchelor hate - he had a decent enough season, he tailed off towards the end but mid season he was pretty much unbeatable at Foxhall for a few matches. As usual a couple of wets on a forum think they speak for the 1800 regulars at Foxhall!

    I think his Sheffield season is best forgotten - it just didn't work out - when I attended the last Ipswich match at Owlerton he was getting hand signs and everything from grown men who should no better - one spanner who looked like he didn't even had the strength to ride a push bike was giving it the old hand job signs - sad speciman!

    I think many would say that he doses not come across as a particularly likeable person

    The "Must Have Now" society that we live in, is the reason why the national debt per person is so high, we cannot go on passing this debt down to future generations, sometime or other this debt has to be paid, people are going to die with credit card debts.

    If we ran our household budgets like the government does its finances, we would all be out on the street.

    As a pensioner I am only reasonably comfortably off, because I scrimped to buy my own house, and now don't pay rent. People moan about interest rates. when I had a mortgage it, at one time  went up to 15%.

    Totally right although  I blame the countries sense of entitlement rather than the government.

    Can't understand why we need to know the team now. If the declared team is poor in your opinion when it's announced, you may have a point. Until then, we need to support the alleged new owner in my opinion.

    Trouble is that  though  most seem to know who the new owner is even that has not been confirmed

    Most of the riders rumoured to be at Panthers next season aren't currently declared with any other team. Maybe the possible change of ownership is taking a bit longer than expected, & this is holding up the official declaration reference our team next season. The fact we have got a team next season is a massive bonus in my opinion, so lets just enjoy it, however long it takes to announce the team.

    \Most would agree with this up to a point, but still think  us plebs could have been kept  more in the loop  even in enigmatic form. Perhaps Carpman would claim we have been

    ...I say to my aging mother that she and her like are a burden on society and cause tremendous financial strain despite her generation getting the country back on its feet after the Second World War. But seriously It makes me angry when  some people condemn the aged and, yes, there are some who are very well off but there are many struggling with finances and life generally especially during these uncertain times.

    If pensioners are well off it is because  they did not have a feeling of entitlement only bought things when they could afford them and lived  within their means
