A few weeks ago, i gave Batch some clog on here. So to be fair, giving credit where credit is due, he had a good meeting Monday & seemed to be making a real effort. No more issues with bike? BUT! Dispite beating Holder & running Rowe all the way to the line, i feel he let the winning point slip in Ht14. Letting Flint (not a bad rider, but not scored a bean until then) catch him on the line was, in my view, poor riding. However, NKI coming in 3rd was also poor. Giving Batch & NKI benefit of the doubt in Ht15. Pickering seemed to be riding better lines & had more mph in his engine. Disappointing the scoring from Klindt, Lidsey & Zagar. That's 2 home meetings on the trot that NK hasn't stepped up!! Lastly, have to say that was the best RACING so far, the passing & re-passing was very entertaining. Long may it continue.

"committed exclusively to British racing between March and October". I think you will find that's restraint of trade & I doubt that a club will be able to show that it has been signed to protect confidential information, trade secrets, client relationships or goodwill. Therefore would be unenforceable. Also do you seriously expect a rider to forgo higher value contracts in Poland, Sweden or even Denmark for 40 UK meetings? Say a top rider is on a guarantee of £3k a meeting thats £120k per year for a mechanic, three bikes, van, diesel, spares and servicing. I think most riders would turn that down. You need to remember that is it no longer 1968, the world and even speedway has moved on

a comfortable lions win i think here,   a heads up to anyone travelling, the woodhead pass is closed due to fires so make sure you make alternate plans, the snake pass is very busy as is glossop due to the bypass being built

As said in the quoted post, something to do with him going into an area he shouldnt is what i was told,

Isn't it league fixtures that count?

Ok  without  the inevitable  accusation by omission , why has he gone back in prison . ? I actually know but I'm happy to hear any conjecture you may have to offer
