IMO if Poole have arranged this fixture knowing that Richard Lawson has a prior engagement then they should only be allowed to use RR or a non CL riding NDL rider.
That's not me being Anti Poole, that's me being a realist. There are plenty of other free dates when the fixture could be arranged for. Using Bomber with no disrespect to him, on current form makes Poole weaker, so that's 15+ for Bomber on the night.
