Poor away again. Way too much inconsistency in the side with Nicholls and Harris not winning enough heats away from home all season. Should have had top four wrapped up already as should have stuffed Leicester & if your a decent side, then you beat a weakened & short of confidence Somerset side tonight.

An appeal? He couldn't even be bothered to turn up for the first hearing & put his case across. Shows you the contempt he has for the sport in this country and people like you and silly Steve0. Put your dummy back in & hope that they have both learned a lesson that they can't go on behaving like they are above the sport in this country. Your logic above has showed your idiocy by crying for Holder & then wanting someone who's probably shown a lot more commitment to to the sport in this country to be sacked at the last minute.

I'd assume the stadium improvements comment is sarcasm lol

Not sure I'd feel sorry for Harris & Barker, they were both crap. Something needs doing about the inside line as it's unusable. Ride the dirt line & it's very difficult for anyone to pass as you go backwards if you try the kerb line. The inside needs ripping up but it just looks like concrete so can't do it. Poor entertainment wise & meeting dragged with lengthy stoppages for track grading. What's the point of doing 15 laps of the track & moving what minimal dirt there is. Just pisses everyone off & loses any momentum. 2 hours & 20 minutes for a meeting is unacceptable. Again Schroeck not using Kasprzak to the full, guy should be having seven rides on the form he was in last night.

Terrible result/performance losing to that "Leicester" side after beating Poole by 30. Kasprzak 7 from 6 at reserve & Harris with 6 points have to take responsibility along with the choice of Jonasson. Has been crap this season in Sweden, probably never rode the Leicester track, crap scores in England since return & does he even have his own machinery over here yet? The promotion don't help themselves. Hope the lost points don't cost at the end of the season.

His tenure has been a car crash. His comments on the BV first meeting were awful & then trying to get himself the lease/ownership on the sly was putrid. Not too mention trying to sign riders who were embargoed. The two postponements this season against Rye should have also been investigated. The "wind off" and waterlogged track were pure bullsh1t. Not to mention his role in the Cov/Pet fiasco when he took all the TV money & shat on both those clubs. He has got the Holder/Batchelor episode spot on though. He's stuck it on the whiny tossers & gave them and others like them a lesson they won't forget. He'll stand down at the end of season imo. Too much crap has happened under his stewardship.

Promotion need to do a Chapman "wind off" or fake rain off here. Rye will get murdered with no facility for Kasprzak. Rye can't afford any home defeats if they have any chance of the play offs, so the change would have been pointless if Swindon win. Oh well.

Not sure why this wasn't called off hours ago. Forecast was for constant rain between 1pm & 3am.

Stop being wet behind the ears. A dr is always going to sign a rider off if he complains of any sort of pain. It's not worth their bother saying "no, your lying. Get out and race". The rider then has a pile up next race & gets a life changing injury & he's in deep ... Batchelor deserves no fairness after riding less than 24 hours later. You reap what you sow.

Well done Chapman. Reading the sycophants on Twitter kissing the riders arses is embarrassing. Lovely to see the whining Aussies in full flow. They need knocking down a peg or two. Perfectly played by Buster, those two screwed him & now he's getting revenge. These two thought they were too good & above British speedway for some reason. They have slagged off the sport in this country, but continued to take the money. Hypocrites. Batchelor has been a whiny tosser ever since he started riding in this country. Holder thought he was above the sport over here, but now he's crap & people won't follow or listen to him anymore. Hope they lose their visas & are never seen in this country again. Also hopefully a lesson to all the other Aussie whingers to behave yourselves or the same will happen to you.

Fair play to the promotion for having a go & not just accepting the play offs are gone. With Poole & Lynn shooting themselves in the foot it's a no brainer to sign Kasprzak at reserve. Hopefully he's right in the head & feels he has a point to prove. Only a couple of years ago he was fighting for the world title.

Tai shouldn't be picked for the World Games if he can't be bothered to do the SWC. He's made his bed so now has to lie in it. You can't pick & choose when you want to get involved. He would have only wanted to do it as it benefits him. Home track, he has lots of Polish sponsors & would have only had to put up with Rosco for a couple of hours. May as well send Bewley & Lambert. Surely Cook will pull out to save face.

I'd hope that the new promotion realise that policy is absolute folly now they have a taste of the top league. The changes made were pointless & showed a lack of any European rider knowledge. Look at what a good signing Musielak has been for Swindon & Lahti is on a bargain average if you have followed his scores in Sweden the last couple of years. I'd suspect Jenson & Schroeck have never heard of these riders.

Can I have your bank card & PIN number Clive?

Steve Jenson needs to put in a complaint and ask for this to be investigated. After the wind off & this, it can't be defended. What a disgrace to the sport.

So we've had a "wind off" & now a b0llocks rain off. Joke of a club. No wonder the fans are up in arms. What a fine example the chairman is setting.

Good to see Holder punished. Shame that weasel Batchelor has got away with it due to faking an injury.

Gone off Woffinden over the last few years as has acted a nob at times, but as I said in the SWC thread, if it's a choice of him or Rossiter it's not worth debating. Rosco should do the right thing and resign. Give Woffinden the responsibility on the provision he rides in British Semi/Final and any other events he's required for. No more crap about not having engines or a base over here so can't be bothered. The SWC final was embarrassing, we are 6/7th in the world realistically & it can't get much lower. The BSPA and Rosco aren't going to improve the fortunes running it. Some fitness bloke from the local gym that Rosco knows popping up in the pictures and running around with the side won't make any difference. Woffinden will have the money & backing to make a difference. Give him a go.

Now Branford is out for the season I'd use his spare points and redeclare the team with Wells making way. Two pointer in for Branford & use the spare points on top of Wells average. Should give well over 7.50 to play with.

Don't see why Sundstrom wouldn't want extra rides as Gorzow aren't using him at the moment. Wells has been poor & lucky to keep his place when changes were made.

Why is anyone surprised by Twatchelor or Holders actions? Twatchelor has been a whiny, moaning brat ever since he started riding in this country. Wouldn't give the guy the steam off my piss if he was cold. He's a tart & faking injury is no surprise from him. His performance tonight at BV shows his contempt for Kings Lynn & British speedway. Holder has lost his bottle since his crash in 2012 & knows he'll never be the same rider so is just trying to earn a living now by staying out of harms way. He won't put his body on the line anymore hence refusing to ride. Both should be banned until the end of the season for bringing the sport into disrepute.

Nicholls is dreadful in the studio. Boring, dead pan & frightened to say anything controversial about any issue incase of upsetting someone. Waste of time & end up turning over in between rounds of heats when he's talking. He needs replacing asap. Quirk is ok & at least has a knowledge of the sport but is a bit too nice with Nicholls & can't get anything out of him. Tatum very good in his role & knows what he's talking about. Puts Pearson in his place as well at times. Pearson is too much of a kiss arse & is too close to the riders. He's a bit precious & obviously doesn't like any criticism of the himself, the sport or his favourite riders. Someone like a Darren Fletcher with Tatum would be ideal, although doubt he'd do it with EPL commentaries.

Predictable. No one will touch Poland for years now. Maybe the Aussies in 3/4 years time with Kurtz, Holder & Fricke, but the conveyor belt looks frightening in Polish speedway. Everything is on a different level compared with the rest of the leagues. GB expected. Clueless on these sorts of proper speedway tracks. Bikes aren't fast enough, ride the wrong lines & look as though they have no idea about set ups. Cook embarrassing. Looked as if they were sh1tting themselves the first four heats with the occasion and crowd. Let's be honest, if we weren't always drawn at home against crap oppo then we're 6/7th in the world. Let's see how we do if we are at an away track next year in round one without the Aussies & the USA. Rosco has had it nice these past two years with a bye to the final & Woffinden claiming silver on his own & this year with a dire oppo in a home 1st round. If our best rider is refusing to ride because of him then it's best he steps down.

Barker & Sedgman? Christ, wasn't really worth it. Barker a brainless nob & Sedgman a gating tart. Doesn't really do anything to improve the side. Harris & Barker being paired shows how stupid schroeck is, they both want to ride the same part of the track. Was it worth sacking a rider who has been very loyal to the club over many years(last week not acceptable) & a young rider who the club should be wanting to use for years to come? Wells, Branford & a veteran Robbo should have been the ones at the front to be released. Promotion have had a nightmare. They have tried bless them, but fkd up badly. They are too naive in the goings on in the sport.

Kennett & Perks gone by the looks of it. Not sure the new promotion have a massive knowledge of foreign riders, so sure it will be riders based over here. Would like to see Linus Sundstrom come in if possible. Milik is a steal on his average. If it's along the lines of Barker, Sedgman it's pointless. Must be numbers with Perks as he's been excellent.
