I have to disagree with the batch comment. Batch has been our best rider of the last 3 years. This season he's had one or two bad performances snd the rest acceptable. I would've brought batch back this season as well after his performances as number 1 last season. Hind sight is a wonderful thing but im sure the promotion probably thought jeppesen and cookie would be 1 and 5, with batch at 3.

Not the same. He had unexpected mechanical gremlins at redcar that they desperately tried to sort out. Yesterday was a mistake on Foords behalf when he pulled forward to the tapes about a second too late

Batch gets a lot of hate on all public forums/social media platforms. As a comets fan, I dont have a bad word to say about him. Yes its frustrating when he pulls up at the back, but the guy has quite often saved us from being an embarrassment over the last couple of seasons. He hasnt missed a single meeting for us and often scores 8+ points a meeting. We would have had a lot of thrashings last season, more so than we got, if it weren't for batch.

Heard he gave up his ride to the young Mickie Simpson to give him track time

Wait till you find out he's riding in the British Final

Some changes to line-up for Saturday's memorial meeting. One to note is Kemp in for Batchelor. Unsure where Batchelor is, but he hasn't missed a meeting for us in two years, so must be something important. More track time for Kemp is a positive though.

Id have to get your lazy rear out of it first mate

He was gating poor like the rest of the team and trying too hard. In the earlier heats he was going really wide when that outside line wasn't working. I'm sure he'll come good, but he needs to get that setup dialled in plus fix those mechanical gremlins that he often has

Yeh, the transponders are always 100% accurate, aren't they?🙄

Im a bit calmer now but that is an embarrassing result at home. Im not sure what the issues were but maybe the track conditions caught out our riders. Everyone seemed so slow at first and Glasgow were flying out the gates. End of the meeting provided some good quality racing and im thankful because I was going home a stinker otherwise. Although it doesnt matter, im still adamant tate pipped Harris on the line. I would like to see that one again

Embarrassing. Top 4 gone now

Full team minus Jakobsen who is replaced by Loftus

Expecting a close meeting tomorrow. Harris has never dominated at our spot, but i expect all the other riders will do well.

Etherington and Workington parted ways mutually. He knew he was no where near ready. Spencer is a better rider than Whalley, although Whalley may have a higher ceiling. Also, it isnt the same. Having a British Passport may make you British, but he's still and Aussie

Riders start the sport at different ages. Rising star shouldnt necessarily mean a young person. In this case, they are replacing a British lad with an Aussie who, by all accounts, has been performing well at ndl level but in the reserve berth. Doesn't sit right with me

At reserve. Makes the decision even more baffling.

Shouldn't be allowed. Rising star needs brought into Championship and you shouldn't be allowed to drop them. Tom Spencer is a young rider, who can ride at champ level, but needed time to develop. Poor by Plymouth here.

One or two comments on a forum that barely has over 50 active users and we "don't deserve kemp". Get a grip mate

It's a good thing kemp will be slotting in as a second/third heat leader then. Although didn’t he keep kildemand and Jeppesen out of the number 1 berth at Berwick last season?

What a shame. I wonder if this is the end for him now. He had decided to quit last season prior to Bainesy talking him into another go. He's still a top rider. Going off his performances this season so far, he would've been one of the best number 1s in the league if his head was in the right spot. Hope he gets himself in a good place soon.

Not me marra. More twists to this tale than a snake that's found a bag of coke

Looks like cookies staying

Anton Karlsson. Never heard of him.

Im just pulling everyone's leg. I haven't a clue who it is. Could be any french rider! The list is that long! (It isnt). Is the rider even French? Is ol'Midget on the wind up. Soon see
