Knowing Garrity he will ride if at all possible, I'm praying its a change for Lindgren although there isn't many options.

I'm hoping its a change for Lindgren.... Dave Rowe on twitter. Team news should be up on website soon.

Probably but id thought id keep with the pantomime of the thread.

The team news on the Poole website is apparently incorrect. Does the plot thicken?

I do have to say if I was signed off work for compassion my employer wouldn't be happy if he knew I was playing golf or doing ANY social activity.

Cmon now you constantly bang on about stuff, say your point and move on. Sometimes I actually agree with you but then you carry it on too cause a reaction. I give you far too many chances because your passionate about the Bees like me but you make things worse most of the time.

I was just glad I was proved right after she made a mistake by posting the same comment using two different profiles. I got a bit of abuse for calling her out. They way she just carries on is embarrassing and it causes trouble far to often.

I do, I do!

His goldfish died. People react differently to different situations so he should get compassionate leave as he loved them fish.

Compassionate leave is so vague though and it could be used easily to get a better rider in. The problem I have he rode on Friday knowing the situation but decided to ride anyway yet Monday he isn't after scoring 0. He wasn't out of control he just wasn't good enough just like his form in the last few weeks. I just don't think a facility should be given after he rode already knowing the situation at home. Has he even got his best equipment back as it was delayed getting back to him? It does all look rather dodgy.

Exactly which is why for me a facility shouldn't be given especially when he's already rode with this on his mind on Friday.

Do doctors write sicknotes on compassionate grounds? Surely that's your employers job to decide wether you get leave or not.

Agree with that if its serious he would be. My dad lived in Thailand up until the beginning of the year and if something happened to him over there id have got the next available plane. If he hasn't got a flight it's very suspicious. Its not in the bag. Bees have won there already this season. I'm less optimistic now Kennett is guesting hence the questions about it. I think Poole are lucky to get a facility. I understand he isn't flying back? Come on this is more than suspicious.

Depends how serious the accident was. If they are just using it to improve the side its very sick but if he is unfortunately seriously injured then its fair he doesn't ride. Its fair that the question is asked though as it does look all very convenient considering North has scoring pretty much nothing for the last few weeks.

As with the Kylmakorpi situation no one wanted the spot.

Robbo decided to miss the rest of the season so a change was needed anyway.

In an ideal world EL would be run on Wed-Thur that gives top riders a break on Monday, Friday and some Saturdays.

Without them two 5-1s it would've been over so of course it'll give them a boost. It certainly gave us fans something to cling onto. We've won there before we have to do it again.

Id have settled for a small lead but after heat 13 to get a draw would give the team a big boost. How poor was Kyle and Freddie? Both riders low on confidence. Need a different guest for the 2nd leg, options are limited. I wouldn't go R/R as Kyle is riding poorly at present. Good meeting overall some decent passing especially early on and we still have an outside chance.

That's true, I got to be honest in was a little disappointed to be missing the Rugby. Just hoping i don't get wind of the score during the meeting. Phone is staying at home! Hopefully bees will do the job tonight and then I won't be so bothered about missing it! Just spat my beer out, brilliant!

He is still colouring in his Chris Harris picture!

As a fan of both sports I'm still attending Brandon tonight. Its Englands 1st of 4 group games and lets be honest the are overwhelming favourites. The football world cup would be a different story in terms of excitement and viewing figures. I'm recording the Rugby and hoping Yorke doesn't announce the result! Bees and England double would be ideal 😉

Could get a short downpour here a dark cloud is heading towards where I live.

So it should be being at home.

Wow that's a blast from the past. Just about remember watching him when i was a kid at Brandon.
