Abusive on twitter - really? I saw one comment which was hardly that bad!! And just noticed that's the one you've quoted - as I said hardly that bad!!

Nah! I don't think we'll have Batch too

I think Noddy will sign for Swindon next season

Not at all - if anyone is clutching at straws it's you. It is a fact that his ban precedes his sacking - therefore he is banned not sacked. Whatever the rights and wrongs we can agree that he won't be riding in the UK again this season

Absolutely - and there is no right or wrong point of view - just differing views

Ahh! His ban took effect before Chapman sacked him so technically he has been banned for August,Sept and Oct.

Why would it affect his visa? As long as a club is willing to sign him from mid April - there should be no problem. Unless you know something about visa applications?

He has been banned from the evening of the meeting where he refused to ride which means August, September, part of October (if KL had made the playoffs) and mid-March to mid-April) - that's at least 3 months. So Buster's spiteful and vindictive actions were in vain - as he was already banned - not so in Batch's case

From the speedwaygb report: "But having been issued with a medical certificate, the SCB had no grounds to take action against the Queenslander.". As I said there is no debate!

He had a medical certificate - there is no debate - despite what you may think/want

Can't see BV being punished so should be a facility I would have thought crowds would be bigger for Somerset as they are Swindon's nearest rivals

What for? Being injured?

Just in time for the start of next season for a club starting late after their anniversary celebrations. Hope the Aussie 2 get fixed up

Kings Lynn have no chance of the playoffs having severely weakened their team - Somerset or Rye House with the Rebels currently looking like overtaking the sinking pirate ship

I don't think it matters either way - that's a shocking looking 1-7

Renat Gafurov on his way back then?

Is that it?

The starting point of the problem was the track and who prepares that - Buster Chapman. What he did in sacking then was vindictive - pure and simple - and I don't like horses either high or low! They are good enough to hold a place in any premiership team and if they did replace anyone in another team it is because they are better! I never said they were doing anything for the good of KL or British speedway - they are self employed and doing what is best for themselves and their families - same as every other rider. It is also easy to show that the changes were vindictive because the riders replacing them are not scoring anywhere near what they were and KL have gone from challenging for the playoffs to also rans with no hope - and that is all down to Buster! I also never said that the two Aussies were innocent in this sad affair but one was already punished and one was signed off by a doctor for the rest of the meeting!

I wouldn't waste my breathe on you though

Good? If your boss was spiteful and vindictive - you'd be happy? Buster's actions have ensured that the Aussie two cannot earn in this country for the remainder of this season - that is just wrong! Fine if he doesn't want them in his very poor redeclared team but to stop them earning when a speedway rider's career is relatively short anyway is just plain wrong!

Doesn't mean he will though

Can't see Magic riding in the UK for several years now. Currently in top 3 in the world - why would he want to?

His actions were vindictive and spiteful - not leadership qualities

Probably Why Poole are sponsored by a Volvo dealership - as we all know Volvos are aimed for the blue rinse brigade .... and I have owned a Volvo for many happy years in the past

According to Speedway GB website - Jack rode with Peterborough's blessing - so they are the ones in hot water - not Jack
