What is it with East Anglia / East of England? I see Batchelor has been sacked by the Great Godlike Saviour of British Speedway. So another rider who'll have to miss the second half of the season over here. Again there may have been a good reason for doing it but not on transfer day. So that's Peterbra Ippo and now Kings Lynn all with dodgy approaches to man management. At least Louise has admitted the BSPA were correct to refuse Ippo's plans.

Assuming you haven't got Shanes as a ringer at reserve again this time, it can only be another Royal (see what I did there!!) humping at home for Ippo.

And/or get someone from the BSF to check what the teams are trying to do and also write the new rule book!!

That would have been 10.49 to replace 9.85 when the team was already 4.30 over the points limit, so you could only have had 6.19 to make a double change.

How did they plan to do that?

Sedgy was very settled for 2 seasons at Edinburgh. And won pretty much everything going.

Wonder if they were using last year's rule book and trying to fit into a 42.5 limit? Nah probably not. Probably just thought we'll replace 2 riders who total n.nn with a different 2 who total no more than n.nn and we'll be good to go. Err no, read the rules.

I'm sure a number of us would be happy to make up his pay packet in return!

Interesting tweet from Sedgy. I wonder who got the BSPA to check the rules!

Only if you read them.

No way. I won't give Louise & Hawking a penny more than I have to. Hope the Weegies hit 50.

Total of both? And try to use the total of the two being replaced. Using the wrong points limit? Not knowing the rules? Who knows.

Tungate & jacobs I hear. No wait - it's Sedgy & mountain. Ooops.

Sedgy & mountain reinstated Splitting my sides now. Ippo management must be the BSPA in disguise. Hope Sedgy keeps reducing his average.

Would split my sides if he was.

Grateful to get a point. Massive gratitude to Rickayyyy.

I'll probably balance you out then baldyman. I might turn up to give the Weegies some support but probably not many more.

We all would have had him back any time. But the rest of the team has been scoring so well - as was seen at Ippo on Thursday. No problem in you dropping him - just the timing.

Neither do you. But I'd be pretty sure there was no contract pay-off. Just dumped with no chance of another job because of the timing. Sorry - but that stinks.

So were Ippo going to break the news to Segy after the match at Glasgow? By text on his way home maybe?

The sport's got to change - contracts must mean contracts and proper notice periods need to be brought in or payment made to buy out the agreements. Maybe Auty will sort him out and show his the back wheel - in the nicest possible way of course!!

That was the point I was making. If Sedgy has been left with only a few hours to find another club - Peterboroughesque. Folk feel he has been under-performing for weeks so a change could have been made a while ago.

Peterboroughesque.

Deary me. Deary deary me. To hell in a handcart.

Give over!
