Tom Turner

The comments from Nathan don't surprise me at all. Never been a fan of Rosco, seems he just likes the attention on the TV. Remind's me of an awkward uncle.

Spot on. He's a tool, but he's a tool we could do with in our set.

It's not sensible vs not so sensible at all. I just don't care that much about what Darcy did. He was marginally over the limit, it was wrong, he could of put others at risk, he is paying the price, he hasn't taken a pay cheque in months and hopefully he will have learned his lesson this time. I still think he is one of the very best riders in the world, he's provided me with some of the best races I've ever seen and I'd love to see many more, especially riding for my home team. Darcy knows everybody thinks he's a massive wang, he knows there will be no more chances after this one, so I am confident his lesson has been learned the hard way. Agreed, I doubt very much the FIM is reading the Bournemouth Echo

This is the first time his actions have had real consequences so it's a little different this time. I don't think it's fair to bring up the court case. Darcy was found innocent of committing any crimes. It was nothing more than teenage antics.

If somebody is able to upload this I'd be happy to make a donation by PayPal!

We all do stupid things when we are young, it's part of what shapes us as adults. Unfortunately, Darcy did more stupid things than most people. I hope he can resume as captain at Poole next season, he is a brilliant rider and this spell out may of been just what he needed to sort himself out.

Well if you're going to be nice Steve then I'll make a damn good effort too.

Oh pipe down, that happens at every club. We weren't all standing there rubbing our hands together in an evil fashion and twirling the tips of our mustaches.

The reports go completely ignored. It seems the moderators do not mind if members abuse other members (even though it states in the rules that this isn't allowed). They only mind if you offend the moderators.

Of course he should of been in the draft. Don't be so bitter.

One FTR would be the very best way forward. There isn't enough to go around at the moment. A FTR position should be something that young British riders aspire to earn through good performances in the lower leagues, it shouldn't be something they are gifted just for being British and happen to own a speedway bike.

It's nothing to do with Poole being above criticism, it's the fact that you cannot go a single day without attacking Poole or it's supporters in some way. We are sick of you, Gavan and a select few others who seem to do nothing other than attack Poole. We can take criticism just fine, but when it's relentless we do take it personally. This is an open forum for everybody to post their opinions on but if they don't match up to your opinions you attack us for it, insult our intelligence and generally abuse us. This is our thread for our team and I am sick of reading nothing but abuse day after day. Of course we see things with a blue tint, we are passionate about our club. We are intelligent enough to see when things are right and wrong, we don't need you constantly rambling on about how we are wrong and too thick to see it. Why can't you just be civil? And before you reply with your predictable "We are civil with the decent Poole fans", tell me where are all these decent fans? They've all jumped ship because of you lot making the atmosphere poison. The few remaining "decent" Poole fans are just the ones that agree with what you say. You have 22,000 posts on this forum and have been a member for over 10 years, and yet half your posts are attacking Poole or it's supporters in one way or another. It's pathetic and unnecessary.

Ohhhh nice!

Jumping starts - Yes Turning left - Yes (be pretty hard to race a speedway bike if you couldn't turn left). I don't think Hans was unfair, I think Middlo was just caught up in the passion of the night. At least he didn't make muppet comments about a team of racers on a slick track. Fencing - Yes. There is nothing fair about crashing your way into a position.

No, we don't need Darcy at all! BUT I STILL WANT HIM! Even though he made the season very difficult for us, even though he has let himself and the club down again and again, nobody hits the speedway spot for me quite like Darcy does. I'd love to have him back at Poole next year. If not Darcy, I would prefer to have Magic back over Holder. Hopefully Matt will get Darcy reassessed on a 6pt average and we can have them both

Haha! That's why we won, not because we outclassed them, but because our team of non-racers are excellent on wet tracks. Especially our Pole's that are normally next to useless on slick tracks.

I never said you didn't congratulate us, I just said you spend most of your life criticizing us. I enjoy speedway more because of you. I'm not just rooting for my team, I'm rooting to upset you!

I never said you didn't congratulate Poole, I said you spew constant attacks and gibberish towards Poole and their supporters, which you do. Funnily enough, I post my own thoughts and opinions, I don't post to achieve likes. I don't need other people to validate me What's wrong with changing names? Everybody knows its me? I like changing names... is that ok with you? I might change it to KKS next.

I have just posted a thread about Jason Garrity, but due to the fact I posted a couple of innocuous images, I am still under a moderation queue so my thread isn't showing yet. It may be by the time this post is approved! Garrity is focusing his attention to cheating and not becoming a better rider, and I have a feeling that this is with the support of Havelock. He tried his hardest to jump every single start last night (as he always does), he tried his hardest to take Morris out, he stayed down to get a rerun and he tried his hardest to force Kyle off. Fortunately he's lacks any talent and was outclassed on every occasion.

You looked like a real star on the TV last night Starman

The constant attacks against Poole from the likes of stevebrum, Gavan, The Doctor and a select few others who believe that every issue in speedway is directly attributable to Matt Ford have made this victory a whole lot sweeter! Thank you guys sincerely as I wouldn't of enjoyed tonight nearly as much if I didn't know how unhappy this result would make you all! That goes for all the Poole haters. Just a little advice for you all, the Poole lot are actually really great people. We aren't evil, we love the sport just as much as you do, and more often than not we agree with you on some of the things you find unfair. The problem is you are obsessed. You think Poole is an evil club with evil supporters who live only to damage the sport and win at any cost. I won't pretend Matt Ford is perfect, and I have disagreed with his actions in the past, but if more promoters were like Matt we'd have a much better sport all round. You force Poole fans into a corner, and you attack them until they agree with you or abandon the forum. It's not cool, it's not fair and it's not very becoming. Roll on 2015.

Which just goes to show the system is working. Would those riders of ever had a contract before? The draft system isn't going to turn any Tom, Dick or Harry into a GP star, but it might help a handful.

Hans Andersen never seems to be on form. I wouldn't want him in my team.

The point that the public are lead to believe is that it is to help develop British riders who are struggling to find enough track time to progress their career. Of course we all know that in reality it's to save money. However, I don't think Kyle Newman would of progressed as quickly as he has without the FTR system and therefore I think it's been partially a success. Kyle Newman an old timer at 22 years old? 22 years later and Greg Hancock isn't doing too bad. I believe the FTR system would work better with 1 reserve berth each season. There is not enough talent available to fill 2 spots.

Rubbish, you've got a chip on your shoulder. The majority of us would agree that some of Poole's actions have been unacceptable, then there are people like you who believe Poole are responsible in some way for every single negative aspect of the sport. If anything the blue tint applies most of all to you and your obsession with Poole.
