Offered much better money to ride in a better league in Poland which everyone would take (and if you say you wouldn't you're lying)...felt that track prep in the UK was poor and dangerous (which at some tracks it was) so no longer wanted to ride here...but it was his responsibility to stay and try and save British speedway?! Utterly ridiculous. The Tai bashing by some is so tiresome. Any excuse. It's just boring now. The guy is the most successful rider this country has produced, he has only ever wanted to see British speedway flourish, and our current status as reigning SON champions is down to him wanting things changed from the top down with Team GB. He instigated that. He championed it. Where we are now is due to him. So I'd say personally he has done the complete opposite of not helping British speedway. He has gone on record as saying he would love to further help the sport in this country, the guy is an asset that, if used by the BSPL, would help revolutionise British speedway. But the suits would rather plod along as we are, staring at the abyss...

Horrible weekend for the Witches.

Jason has just posted on Instagram. Has a bad gash to his cheek. Has dislocated his left hip and has taken a proper beating. But he says he will be back soon.

Seen the same reports. Sounds very bad for Jason.

This is not confirmed yet, but some reports in Poland say Doyle has suffered an open fracture of the thigh. Fingers crossed these reports are wrong. 🤞🏻

Of course the focus will be on the negative. Everyone who saw the meeting either in person or on BSN is fully aware that there was decent racing. The reason for 'slating one rider' is because he was an absolute disgrace and shamed the Workington name. He disrespected the club, he disrespected the management, he disrespected the fans. In fact, what he did was 'cheating' because he failed to try, for whatever reason. When that happens, he should be called out. This isn't the time to sweep it under the carpet.

Denham said on BSN there was no point using reserve replacements or Tac Subs as riders needed track time.

Sorry, but you can’t really believe that?! You’re taking the pi*s right?! His last two heats, he didn’t get far enough before pulling up to know his bike was ‘rubbish’. Still think you’re taking the mick…you can’t be serious.

Can’t agree. Craig has proved so far this season he is night and day better than Batchelor. There’s no way the quitter would have scored 15 for Oxford the other night.

Troy Batchelor is an absolute disgrace. Should be fired before he even leaves the track tonight. If he isn’t and turns up tomorrow, he should be made to take the mic and apologise to the Workington fans, especially those that spent hard earned cash travelling to Scunthorpe.

Ashton has so much talent...but I can see him walking away even if he isn't replaced at both of his teams, which is a distinct possibility right now. When he gates and is in fresh air he is absolutely rapid. When he doesn't gate, he is shutting off and not wanting anyone remotely close to him. Kings Lynn fans have said that at times he is just giving up while at the back and looks devoid of any confidence. It is such a hard watch and hopefully he gets these problems sorted as soon as possible, because he has talent to burn. Nobody wants to see it wasted.

Good performance and win from KL. But there will be greater tests to come at home. Oxford are incredibly poor and need wholesale changes. I'm always one for giving riders a chance but the season is a write off already. Top of the list to go has to be Tungate whose performances have been unacceptable for a No.1. And last night's coverage were being kind to Kildemand, continually saying that he has won Grand Prixs in the past and was beating the best in the world. That's the whole point, it was in the past! He is way past his best and his current form is Championship level. The gamble/experiment on him for the Spires has failed. For KL, the enigma that is Ashton Boughen continues. He flies from the gate, he wins. He misses it, game over. Doesn't seem interested in mixing it to make up places. That trait blighted his late season form for Oxford last year and has continued into '25.

Adam rode it in two of three second half heats, the Billy Sanders 'Champion of the Evening' event.

Again, people shouting their mouths off with no understanding of what 'mental health problems' either means or entails. "Should a rider be issued a licence if he has mental health problems?" Did you know that if someone has OCD, that is classified as a mental health problem?! So if somebody has to continually wash their hands, or has to count a number of times before carrying out a daily task, or has to check they have unplugged the iron five times before leaving the house, they cannot ride speedway?! Don't be so ridiculous. Next, you'll be asking for a table of classification as to what permits you to ride and what doesn't. There are too many people who think the term 'mental health issues' means 'nutter' and that anyone suffering from it is incapable of living a normal life. And for the other person on here who believes that Craig's problem is alcoholism, and that he is using the excuse of mental health issues to cover it...firstly, you know NOTHING at present. But let's humour you...if someone does have an issue with alcohol, you do realise that may be BECAUSE of their mental health problems?! Up to 75% of PTSD sufferers turn to alcohol. But I suppose they are all using mental health as an excuse too are they?!

You seem to be someone who has plenty to say on the matter but doesn't have a clue about mental illness, what it entails, varying forms of it and how it affects people differently. But most importantly, NOBODY knows what is really going on apart from Craig and his family. So maybe pipe the hell down and be patient for official news, because at the moment you are just coming across as heartless, and most of all, stupid.
