ouch

Crazy. Why was it not rescheduled for 28/09/17 or in October?

I love Drunk History too. You crack me up. Well done. So he came back from injury and rode for another team and performed better at a track than when representing your team. If we are sacking riders for that then we've had it. If he was casually riding round at the back how did he beat someone and why haven't they been sacked, casually or otherwise.

What's Batchelor done wrong?

We wanted him that year to and he's stayed ever since. Three years off his testimonial.

I thought he'd only got into the series by two wild cards. Forgot about Harris last year so no as bad as I thought.

First time a Brit has got in by qualifying since I don't know when.

There will just call it and if you haven't completed your fixtures then tough. It happened to Belle Vue so I doubt it will change to help out other teams.

I agree and any forward thinking promoter should be applauded for moves such as this. The rules were changed on the eve of the new season to prevent a Jason Lyons/ Ricky Ashworth reserve partnership. I've still got the video from the Poole fans night where Terry Russell and Matt Ford were laughing about it. They said Ian Thomas should know the rulesbook, the joke being he knew it inside out its just the change the hadn't been announced. I have no doubt that he will come in on a four point something average as I have no doubt had The Aces tried he would be much much higher. That's the only issue I have with it all.

FX 1 EX2 4 R 9 Total 14 Plus 1 Withdrawn by medics I've not looked at other meetings at KL but that looks to me that not just Holder had an issue with the circuit. A whistle blowing policy needs adding in to the rule book IMO.

There has been several clubs enjoy successful periods over the last 90 years or so with many having insults thrown their way. Arrogant is a regular one but until Ford came along I have never heard of promoters/managers continually referred to as cheats. There is a reason for that. I branded him the "self confessed cheat" after he admitted to it in The Star 13 years ago when he had won very little so my motivation to do so wasn't based on his incredible success.

Heat 10 did it for The Aces. Let's get the bad luck out of the way before the play offs, lol.

Batchelor withdrew on medical advice. Whatever happened to him?

The Leicester away fixture was a farce and something rightly to be angry about, other than that there was only Kurtz in place of Bjerre at Rye House. Must admit it hadn't occurred to me that you were penalising the new Belle Vue promotion for how previous owners ran their business. I get it now.

I would imagine Jim will be let go after that. He's a nice bloke but speedway management really isn't his thing.

Must admit it hadn't occurred to me that you were penalising Belle Vue for how other promotions run their business. I get it now.

Jason Crump comes from Bristol - you can't get any more REAL BRITISH than that. Mark Loram comes from Malta - you can't get any more REAL BRITISH than that.

When you see how childish and vindictive Chapman can be you have to wonder if this behaviour is the reason these big company sponsors haven't come off. They've been within grasping distance for months now according to the chairman but still nothing to show. If they ask for something that doesn't suit him then I can see his bullish attitude coming out again. All a bit grim really and I don't envy the next chairman who has to try and sort out all Busters cock ups and dodgy deals.

I don't know how you get to £500 in lost revenue due to guest fests at Belle Vue. We've had two guests for Kenneth but that was due to the fact we signed him late on. IMO the two matches he missed are outweighed by his contributions in his other meetings. The only other one was Heeps in for the injured Tungate. We have had some meetings with R/R but those heats were filled with Aces not guests.

Which is your team?

I had the exact same thought the other day. Tracks have been the same for decades apart from the addition of the air fence yet riders fanny about with bikes then want the track changing? I'm awaiting the day footballers ask for a shorter pitch as running the full length is too knackering.

"Aussie international Troy Batchelor was also sacked by Kings Lynn after he withdrew from the Poole meeting due to injury." This quote from the recent press release is the sickest speedway related comment I've ever read.

Shocking post GRW123!

Currently Belle Vue are the biggest club in U.K. Speedway and historically Belle Vue were the biggest club in U.K. Speedway. Granted other clubs come and go which I think is a good thing.

Belle Vue supporters were up in arm when Wolves signed a ringer for the play offs. I know some fans support the move but it's not for me. Belle Vue supporters were up in arms when Poole signed a better replacement for a rider who it was falsely claimed had a season ending injury. I know some fans support the move but it's not for me. Belle Vue fans are up in arms as they cannot sign a replacement for a young rider who has broken his neck. I know some fans support the move but it's not for me.
