Clearly someone who does not know what they are talking about................ Personally I think it should have been pulled when Garrity decided to take out King and Newman................Garrity is a liability on a bike............and at times downright dangerous not just to others but to himself.................... Harris did want to ride the last heat you could tell by his body language and the gestures he made at the cameras after it was run............Havvy really needs to stop throwing his toys out of the pram..............its not going to do him or the team any good.............. Overall as others have said it may have been a victory for Poole but it certainly did not taste sweet............. RP Spot on.................

If its not an FIM event then Poole get priority................... RP

I think realistically one of the reasons that crowds stay away is costs................I can't afford to go every week like I used to..........I am still on the same money I was 5 years ago.............it would cost me to take the whole family in the region of £100 per meeting (4 adults and 1 15 year old including food and drink)...........the hours I work only allow me to go to 2 out of every 3 meetings anyway................ However my biggest bug bear with the sport is that promoters don't know how to promote...........a lot of them sit on their backsides expecting the world to come to them.............They need to get out there with publicity around the area........get into the schools and other places where they can encourage people to take an interest............one thing you can say about Poole is they have a promoter who is also a shrewd businessman who knows how to promote..............there are others that do notably the new Glasgow promotion but there are a lot that don't..............and promoters need to listen to the fans and I mean listen...........not just say something to appease them and then go back on their word............. RP

As it happens I don't think Darcy will be at Poole when he comes back............they have to make too many changes to accommodate him..............have heard he is Swindon bound but how true that is I have no idea................ RP

Did you see the article in the local press here last week that explained Holder's poor form............he will come good again...........like he said several injuries in a short space of time has finally caught up with him............ Calling him pathetic after all he has been through is wrong..........he needs support not being slated............ RP

Wishing Rory all the best for a speedy recovery.................. RP

Newman is a Poole asset so why would be not have been chosen by them.......................like Adam Ellis, Lewis Kerr he was a protected rider............. RP

You are spot on with what was said about the points for Darcy being deducted early on as I tried to explain to Bwitcher but they were having none of it..............the only thing I will add to that is that it was only Darcy that was penalised...........because the issue did not happen in a league meeting the powers that been only penalised the rider but not the team.............yes it affected the scores of two meetings I agree but why should Poole be penalised for something that they physically had nothing to do with................ It is not Poole's fault they used Ward.............they were entitled to do so as at the time he was not suspended............. Ummmmmm no................as above what Darcy did was outside of the league environment..............the team should not be penalised for his actions away from the team................ RP

You are missing the point of what I have posted completely................ Giving up as its not worth arguing with someone who clearly reads what they want to not what is there............... RP

Yes very simple............the fact that I am correct is just that...................go search through this or the Darcy Ward thread on the GP page............ I expect an apology for being right.................. RP

No you read into things what you want to not the facts.............. I am a Poole fan and have been for 39 years through good times and bad..............I will post what I like on this thread..............when you stop posting anti Poole and anti Ward diatribe people might just listen to you.............. Fortunately I am too ladylike to tell you what I really think of fans that constantly criticise other teams...............true fans support all teams and get behind riders when they have problems............. RP

No talking to some people..................read what I wrote again.................I never said they had the full reasoning back then I said the initial reports stated about Ward losing his points................they were released back in February with the full reports released on the date you stated................. There is no point arguing with someone who is so blatantly anti Poole and just is making a rod for their own back by contradicting everything that any Poole fan says................... Go back to your own teams page............we don't want you on ours.............. RP

Yes but when Ward was punished for what he did and the initial details were released on that at the end of February all that you have said was mentioned................... If you did not read the initial reports that were released before the full reports were released that is not my problem............ It was well publicised at the time and well documented.................. Perhaps you should think before you write stuff............all Poole fans knew what you describe as new news almost 3 months ago.............. There is no talking to some people............... RP

So why was that information released when the initial hearing results came out in February then................. Like I said before you are reading what you want to into the report............not what the report really says............ RP RP

That is utter b******s....................yes it is old news................get over it RP

I had a really eloquent post written out to reply to this but I really can't be bother to post it............because as usual you will twist and turn everything to suit your purpose.............which is exactly the same as you accuse Poole of doing...............peas in a pod springs to mind............ Shame really............... RP

The only thing about Bridger is he had all the potential and failed to deliver.............Lewis needs to concentrate on being Lewis not the big I am he makes out he is.................. RP

I have said for years that a squad system should be introduced...................trouble is everyone has shouted me down about it and now here you all are singing its praises....................funny how some people change their tune about an idea as soon as something like this comes to light............ It would also do away with the need for guests and rider replacement................but of course that is wrong too I guess............. RP

Yeah remember the fake burst water main stunt Belle Vue pulled when Poole were due to ride there...............it was because that meeting was cancelled that the re run was a fiasco................don't think Poole can be blamed for either incident..................... RP

From what I can gather Janowski was forced to ride today for his Polish club so not riding out of choice............... RP

This explains why............basically forced to ride for his Polish club................ http://www.poolepirates.co/news/0517_janowski_out.html RP

Oh stop being so childish and petty..................I am more grown up than you will ever be................ RP

I suggest you read the report properly instead of reading what you want to into it.................and no not angry as you describe...............if you read it properly Ward's team were not responsible for the all the delays........................the FIM are responsible for the way the GP series is run..............they are the ones that took their time investigating......................they are to blame for the delays.............. I suggest you crawl back to your own teams page and stop spouting rubbish about things you clearly know nothing about...........its people like you who are not even interested in Poole as your home team that come on this thread and talk utter tripe that make me angry............... RP

With all due respect not all Poole fans said he was innocent...............including Skidder...................the majority of us knew he was guilty but were angry at the time it dragged on to get a decision............... Don't tar all Poole fans with the same brush.............most of us are sensible and level headed.............. RP

Here we go again......................some people really need to crawl back under their rocks and see what their own teams are doing instead of wasting their time criticising ours................. People are saying the full report is out now so where is the link so we can read it................ Some people also need to get their facts right.................. RP
