You failed to say you was up against 2 weaker teams on the night.But i suppose we expected that from you.

Did Swindon have the Tac helmet on before Bjerre beat Morris

If the track had been graded maybe the lump of a dirt line wouldn't have been there and he would have sailed round.

Fair enough,i only pointed out it was IRR.I didn't stipulate who could ride,i will do that next time

IRR

Now that was unbelievable.

Thursday

You obviously have a problem with Batchelor,but i am quite happy with him putting over 2pts on his average.

They wanted wanted a team that would give 100% for Lynn even if they were a poorer quality.Anyway Holder has been very poor for us this season so wouldn't be a major loss.Although it would have been nice if he had maintained a decent average so we would have had more choice of guests.

Shouldn't be this is what people wanted.

I suppose they could sign a rider now.And if he turns out a good replacement they could get rid of Holder.I did say a few months back i think we should get rid of Holder before the averages dropped.We could have got a very good rider then,but now choices are limited with such a low average to work with. I suppose in Doyle's case he could have a medical certificate in each country but only decided to have one in England.Hows that make Swindon feel knowing that they come the lowest on his list of priorities.But as there are some on here calling for a ban for Batchelor then the same must apply for Doyle.

While Holder has got his ban,does anyone think Doyle should get one for witholding his services.It just seems he can ride in Sweden and Poland but not in England for Swindon.

Whether they take big hits or not this don't determine what injury they get.I remember good old Emerson Fairweather being dragged down nearly the length of a straight once and after a little while he was up and ready to go again.Mind you he was a tough nut

Batchelor was withdrawn,Holder witheld his services.

Some things happen where it may be morally wrong but not illegal. It's a shame Poole are riding Wednesday,because i would have had R/R for C.Holder and J.Holder in for Huckenbeck.And then Jack could have had one of his rides to. This is a big chance for Rye to get a win here now and firmly put us out of the play-off picture.

Quite right Batchelor hasn't broken any rules.I don't know why people keep going on about it.And if he did pull a fast one it's not like it hasn't happened before is it.There's been many that have been injured/sick before meetings especially at tracks they dislike.It even happened in the good old days.

Now,now calm down,i wasn't on about the meeting in general.I was just saying about Batchelor's injury in that he must have been told not to race the rest of the meeting or Lynn would not have been able to use the IRR.I was replying to someone wanting rid of Batchelor for this.

Blimey,if every management got rid of every rider from their team for every misdemeanor there wouldn't be any riders left.I couldn't be there last week but by all accounts Batchelor must have had permission on injury grounds for Lynn to use the IRR.

Yes,it doesn't say in the rules that one of the riders eligible/rode NL have to ride at reserve.The two lowest averaged riders in a team ride at reserve.

They have Bates and Newman in the team.Both were eligible/rode in the NL.

Can't be re-introduced into the side for this season.

Yes it was,night work frazzles my brain,now edited

Well following on from Thursday night's debacle will the track be to the liking of the Aussie duo.Luckily i didn't witness last Wednesday,sometimes having to be at work is good. Who will the Stars have to replace Rose.Maybe Newman,Kerr or do we have another Aussie in Tungate.We need to have a decent reserve as Rye have Robson at reserve. This will be a testing time for the team to bounce back from last week,and must start winning at home to even think about making the play-offs.

Yes Poole can do what they want with him.All i was saying was did Klindt say that or did Ford just say that to make himself look more inoccent than ruthless person we are led to believe he is.But if Klindt did say that and he ended up riding tonight he's pulled a fast one on Ford.

Klindt said it would be better for him to try and recover properly rather than risk further damage,this is according to Ford so who knows. Then a couple of days later he's riding properly again.
