I believe at the time of the Peterborough end of season awards Rosco was working for Coventry so explain the tapping up Einstein? Although he did announce his leaving Coventry the next day Again - pure speculation that any tapping up occurred! Unless you were involved in the discussion ??

What is correct is that Peterborough didnt declare him in their team - the rest is from your vivid imagination!

Consistency is EXACTLY what I want!! NKI goes to KL for a third season on loan and Batch cannot do a second season on loan?!?!?!

BSPA climb down it is - after all it's not good for the image of the sport that a rider (whatever nationality he is) is unable to earn a living because the BSPA won't budge - and will need to explain their reasons why a rider who is not being used by their parent club is not allowed to go out on loan as per the BSPA rules - that would be interesting. Just for Crump99 :rolleyes:

It's interesting - for a Swindon thread, it seems Crump99 has posted nearly as many times as me. Does this mean I've got a stalker? Anyway only a few weeks to go to find out if Batch will be in or out of work. Silly me, I thought promoters were supposed to look after their assets

We are never going to agree about this There is a rule which says that if a team isn't using one of their assets then they can go out on loan. Why the MC have decided anything different is beyond comprehension but, as you keep going on about rules - the rule I mentioned is the one I'd go with. Why should they come to any financial settlement and why should Patch shut up (although he hasn't said much on the subject lately) - the rules are the rules!

It's about supply and demand. Just because someone wants to sell doesn't mean anyone is obliged to buy! Whatever the rights and wrongs of how anyone sees it, it is approaching the start of the season and no one seems interested in buying Batch. Surely it makes sense then that he is made available on loan rather than not ride - or is that too simple for some to understand? I'm sure this sorry saga will come to a conclusion soon.

TNT - I am a bit sick of seeing your troll post about Freddie Lindgren's testimonial on just about every current thread.This is against the site rules and I have no interest whatsoever in it and don't expect to see it on a Swindon thread or any other EL thread outside Wolves. There is a separate thread for testimonials

Interesting article http://speedwaygp.com/news/article/2241/nki-calls-for-signing-deadline

I think you'll find one of your Peterborough cronies let the genie out of the bottle there (#2244). If you don't want others to comment then maybe you should advise him to leave well alone rather than someone responding to him

You never know with speedway - anything can happen! Except maybe BV putting a decent team together from what's left out there

Probably more chance of winning the lottery

Only because of the intransigence of Rick Frost

That would be Rick Frost when the courts rule in favour of Batch and against Peterborough for preventing him from earning a living! Having said that though - Patch may make an offer to buy him for the £6k he put on the table for Hans!

To stop others signing him? In Batch's case, only Swindon and BV can accommodate now and I'd be surprised if he wants to go to BV. If Peterborough want a transfer and no one has taken this up by March 1st then he can go on loan. Otherwise you have a rider who wants to ride but is being prevented from doing so - the courts would love that! Just because someone wants to sell doesn't mean anyone has to buy - especially if there is no money to buy him - simples!

Oh right - so you don't want to apply that rule because it doesn't suit you

Batch can go on loan if not signed before - according to the BSPA rules!

One thing is consistent about Panthers fans - they use the rules to defend the indefensible as if they are the paragons of virtue. I have posted a number of times of a situation where Panthers didn't follow the rules you so want everyone to follow - and no one has posted an acceptable answer to justify their actions. The rules state that if a club isn't planning on using an asset, the club they last rode for on loan has first refusal of their services - yet Peterborough allowed Coventry to speak to Hans and not Swindon - a clear breach of the rules. So before you quote rules - think again - all clubs are guilty of applying or ignoring rules to suit their situation and the holier than thou stance doesn't wash just as it didn't during the winter of discontent

We are a proper club and became one a long time ago! That'll be the "assets" not in your team that you are referring to The same ones who won the league last year when Peterborough couldn't make the play-offs. You talk like you own these riders and the truth is they don't want to ride for Peterborough and would rather ride for a proper club who didn't need tactical rides to steal the win away from the rightful champions Reading In case you don't know (and that is very clear) - you don't need to buy riders - that's what loans are for

The rules of the BSPA are such that if he isn't signed by march 1st then he can be loaned

Welcome back Hans

A lot happens in 8 years! Can't imagine anyone paying £50k for a rider nowadays. I would have thought £10k was fair considering his age but I don't believe in the asset system so "free" works for me

Here we go again http://www.swindonrobins.co/news.php?extend.1879.1 Show me it - put up or shut up!! But NKI is having a third season loan to KL so precedent has been set!

Looking in the mirror are you?
