  1. I think you are talking about Ben and topaz about Craig. At the end if the day there's lots of speculation and supposition on here about what's going on but I suspect only the two men involved and perhaps one or two others know all the facts. Easy to sling accusations and theories around without being informed. One thing I would say is that we are talking about two successful and presumably hard nosed businessmen, it's little surprise there's a deadlock if indeed that is the case.
  2. Someone has suggested a team of Pedersen Iversen Tungate Basso Andersen Cook & Jenkins.....that's competitive IMO. I genuinely think you are better off without Holder, I suspect he would be doctoring his average for a future Poole return.
  3. To be honest I'd taken Gav's comments about Dudek as a wind up.
  4. Never going to happen for a variety of reasons.
  5. Certainly the former at the moment! Think we'll be playing Southampton next season though
  6. For exhibits A and B, I present to the court Norwich City and King's Lynn Town m'lud
  7. Which makes sense as at weekends the media are occupied with football, rugby etc.
  8. 13th July 2017. The evening that part of me fell out of love with speedway, the track was a little heavy and rough but nothing that twelve of the riders on show couldn't handle. Unfortunately Messrs Batchelor and Holder senior sat in the pits when their races came round, treating the paying customers that night with contempt. The whole situation was handled badly by all parties including the Lynn hierarchy (Chapman, Lyon & Allitt) and Lynn of course lost the meeting. Batchelor and Holder were sacked on the eve of the transfer window closing (a petty move but at the same time my sympathy for the riders was zero) and as far as I know those damaged relationships have never been repaired. Having been there that night and leaving the stadium completely dissillusioned I can understand Buster Chapman not wanting Chris Holder anywhere near a club he is involved in but equally you'd have thought six years later they could have sorted their differences enough to work together. That said I think if P'boro end up with Nicki Pedersen they'll be better off.
  9. Quite evident that the club are making much more of an effort on social media this year, really good to see.
  10. Kemp and Rowe both looked excellent prospects at 16 years old, it's a real shame that for whatever reason they've lost their way. It's not ability on a motorcycle, they just seem to lack elements of what it takes to be the whole package.
  11. If you get so triggered by posts you don't like that you start hurling abuse around I'd suggest the BSF might not be for you.
  12. You could remove the words gossip and column from that post to be fair
  13. He was always great value at Lynn. A big track man IIRC.
  14. In terms of natural talent? Because he certainly isn't as a complete package.
  15. I'm trying to remember the circumstances and I'm struggling, can you remind me please?
  16. Even as a Lynn fan it all looks incredibly dodgy, especially as the initial staging was rained off on a dry warm day.
  17. My best guess is that spiderman is a parody.
  18. The last few years are deja vu..... Ipswich Town are in the third division
  19. A rider on the decline who is not a particularly nice personality so no great loss really.
  20. The team suits and matching bikes is one of the few things British speedway does well and gets right. No team in any sport in the 21st century should be wearing kit that doesn't absolutely match.
