The Doctor... 1,478 Posted August 2, 2017 Don't patronise me pal. Grow up. With respect, didn't you say that TB had a case for unfair dismissal earlier - that in itself was a little silly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark 1,497 Posted August 2, 2017 Dont think I said that but did say he had a water tight medical reason not to ride. The subject is boring me now. Too many people with personal agenda's who refuse to accept basic facts. I think both riders and Chapman have handled matters very poorly. Reflecting badly on the sport. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm..i think you did say that - see below your post. "Reading Batchelor's statement, if all true about injury and his average, he would have every right to go through the courts for unfair dismissal" Am sure you will apologise etc overnight.

Catalan 717 Posted August 2, 2017 I'm wondering because of Batchelors stupidity, I can see a ruling coming in that if you are signed out of a meeting injured, you won't be allowed to ride for 7 days minimum. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadders 4,135 Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) But we all work or have worked with a sick note person who every one knows is faking it. I worked with two in my last place. Various managers couldn't do a thing as they knew fine well they'd go straight down the "harassment" road and they just couldn't be bothered with the hassle. One of them cited "ladies problems", when some of us knew fine well she'd been out all weekend on the lash and couldn't be bothered to come in. The other guy had so much time off on compassionate grounds we worked out over the eleven years I worked with him he'd buried his grandmother five times.

Odds On 373 Posted August 2, 2017 people really think a rider will go to a court of law?...once a rider puts his head above the parapet there is all sorts of worms coming out of the can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,096 Posted August 2, 2017 And the league gets watered down even more, the championship will be stronger soon So a 28 day ban wasn't sufficient No not sufficient if you want riders to sit and notice that maybe they can't do what they like and there will be no repercussions.

Lord Skid 425 Posted August 2, 2017 They haven't broken any laws, why can't people understand that, you sign their contract, to play by their Rules, if you don't like it, then don't join their game. And if you are a big trouble maker, then their way of dealing with it is simple, there won't be a Team place available for you, end of problem. If you are a decent Rider, cause no problems, then the chances are, you will have a job. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted August 2, 2017 Have any other promoters ever spoken out? Just like all the times you've claimed Poole were cheating to some degree, and yet not a word was mentioned by any other promoter. Are you kidding me?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Lady 5,400 Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Still not a word of condemnation or even disapproval from other promoters/team managers. Strange given that one of them is also the Aussie team manager Looks very much like a united front to me. Edited August 2, 2017 by Star Lady 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinny 2,536 Posted August 2, 2017 There wont be any uproar about it as it was the right decision. The brat and holder stormed out of a meeting and made Buster look a tosser, hes had his well earned revenge by screwing them for the rest of the season. Good on him. I look at it from my point of view. If newport were still riding and our number one pulled out, then rode for a rival play off team the next day with a good score id be furious. And if our superstar didnt fancy the track and walked out id also be furious and would happily see them sacked. Perhaps that prat woffy can give them Some of his own advice - dont ride in the uk next season and none of this will happen. Good riddance to two moaning, whinging, past their best Aussies. Be great if that whinging tw@t scheiln pissed off out of Uk speedway as well 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
