Ah 20 years time - that'll be when Tai has gone home to Oz I guess.

If Rob Lyon chose Coventry then he's less of a good manager than I thought. The Bees were the 'form' team with no injury worries going into the play-offs - hence they got to the final!

Quite right FB, to win the play-offs a team has to beat 2 of the other 3 teams. Poole beat Kings Lynn and Coventry. job done. end of.

Nice try. I especially like the CSI reference. By the way, how old are you??

Just for a moment I thought you were talking about many of the post(er)s on the forum?! Silly me!!

He rode for himself in the individual meeting(s).

What is in black and white as you put it makes no reference to any club - its a statement about Ward!

Man Utd suspended Cantona for something he did whilst playing for Man Utd - entirely different to the Ward situation, so stop stirring.

Who's to say it didn't work though!!?? Matt and Middlo are away skiing with some of Poole's sponsors!!

Just re-read the FIM statement, which is only concerned with the offence and the punishment, rather than any 'reasoning' behind it!! That is still to come in a later FIM statement. There must be some factual reasoning as to why the ban was 10 months, rather than the max of 2 years?! Await with interest.......................

Yes I blame a momentary brain freeze with the excitement of a Ward return in July. I apologise on the Poole thread too!! Its not an MA decision, its BSI's.

So Czestochowa and Gdansk both bankrupt and thrown out of all Polish leagues!! All is not so rosy in Poland after all.

So with Darcy's points against Leicester home and away (8+3 and 5 respectively) being expunged - does that mean he'll have a lower average when he's available on 29th June?

It would - although I'm sure that many of the 'it will take 45 days for a decision' merchants will probably disagree!!

Lots of special admission offers and more fans at speedway meetings!

Perhaps the 2 bikes that Bomber was getting for him proved to be so good that Bomber kept them?!

Plus points all round then!!

I didn't want to 'like' this post, so...

If people (Bees fans?) are trying to say that Bridger is the only rider who has negotiated a loan or advance on his earnings as part of the contract, then they are being really naïve. Not condoning his foulmouthed outbursts on twitter, but I think there is likely more to this than meets the eye!!

Interesting! I thought the traditional starting protocol was to bring up the inside and outside riders first (gates 1 & 4) and then the 2 middle riders ( gates 2 & 3) ?? Not that that has been happening much either!

Its often very difficult to make any sense of what you wrote!! Just for a bit of balance -again - not ALL Poole fans are fed up with Starman, just 3 or 4 rather vocal forum members who don't seem to like their posts being disagreed with!! The Poole forum moderator has warned everyone to stop making their posts too personal - its a shame he's not one of the moderators on here occasionally!!

That's right. Its only some/most SGP, Torun, Piraterna, Poole and Aussie fans that like him!!

No one rider won the league for Poole. Newman and Janowski both had good seasons, the latter especially when he stepped up as captain, but every rider except our 2nd reserve(s) had some superb victories as part of the usual team effort. Its a good team ethic that is created and continued at Poole - and probably at Torun and Piraterna too? - which sees Poole assets regularly in the home pits giving encouragement and helping out mechanically. Riders like Holder who only rode for a month, Ward even when suspended, plus the likes of Watt, Pedersen etc whenever they weren't racing elsewhere. Anyway this thread is about Darcy Ward in the SGP section, not Poole!!

People can quote all the 'rules' they like, but at the end of the day it will be 'at the BSPA MC's discretion'!!!
