ouch

You said those stats give some indication of current form. I said Aces wanted to see the current (2021) Crump ride in a meeting that in less than 90 minutes I can describe as currently happening. GP organisers, when picking series wildcards, bookies, fans and team managers booking guests all look at current form when making their decisions. You’re entitled to your opinion that it’s nonsense but I’ll have to disagree with you, currently. Anyway, I’m not trying to look clever as there is so much I don’t know and you can help me there. Why doesn’t Kemp have an average?

We wanted to see the 2021 Crump ride with his 6.09 average but instead we have maximum man Masters on his 8.00 average.

Aces fans absolutely do not want to see a half fit Crump limping round, we love him, he’s an Ace. We wanted to see the 2021 Crump ride with his 6.09 average but instead we have maximum man Masters on his 8.00 average. “Are you ok to ride Jason, sure am I’m riding for Plymouth tonight. Is it ok if we leave you out as we can get a much better rider than you even if fully fit? Er ok, won’t that look bad. Don’t care!”

Oops!! http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/19results/belle_vue_01.07.19_res.pdf Issue 12 is good to. Its all above board, honest.

It amazes me that we can be considered rubbish, if we had scored 5 more race points in certain meetings - which has a minuscule effect on the overall team performance, we would have 7 more match points. Everyone would be extolling the virtues of this great team as we sat proud at the top of the league. The lost points against Poole this week has as much to do with off track shenanigans as it does on track performance.

Reason? 37-35 Done now, nothing will happen. Let’s move on and wait for the next one. At least that will bother less people.

I’m afraid to say reading through your thoughts on this it makes no sense to me whatsoever and only raises more questions with regards issue 13. It’s tedious in the extreme how this sport works as some participants look to gain an off track advantage. Maybe I need to speak with Craig Ackroyd to help me get my head round it.

If the rules were followed we could have used Vissing. The powers that be told us that Tero HAD to be the rider we were replacing and a replacement is at the “directors discretion”. They denied an adequate replacement and we were forced to track Kyle.

We signed Tero but due to his injury we had to revert to our previous declaration and include Ricky. This is what also happened at Kings Lynn with Nicol/Lambert. Issue 13 PL averages effective 1/07/19 have Ricky at 4.52. This allows us to use a CL guest up to 6.78. Issue 16 CL averages effective 1/07/19 have Vissing 6.65 Aces rode against Poole 01/07/19

“Facility may be granted at the Directors discretion” Nick Morris - Wolves. Yes Dan Bewley & Tero Arnio - Aces. No

Issue 11 has Ricky’s effective average 1/7 as 4.24. Issue 13 has Ricky’s effective average 1/7 as 4.52. It does mentions 4.24 but has no date, it’s just hovering about. Mistakes where made here due to the focus being on screwing us and like I say it can (to some) get complicated.

“SGB PREMIERSHIP ISSUE 13 - Issued on 01-07-19” “Team Declaration Effective Immediately”

The funny thing is that as the powers that be were so wrapped up in the rouse to stop us tracking a stronger No7 they held back on our redeclaration but have now issued it showing Tero 4.55 replacing Ricky 4.52 even though our team total is 43.09. Can get complicated screwing us over sometimes.

How did Wolverhampton get a facility for the injured Nick Morris given he hadn’t ridden for them?

That guy really knows very little of speedway rules and tactics. Laughable.

Well done to Poole on the win and their part in an entertaining encounter. When luck comes your way you cannot squander those chances and though it was close they managed to cash it in. Having said that the pirates seem to know more than any team the opportunities that the NSS offer. They know there’s no home advantage and that races needn’t be over after the first two bends. This saw them pull off some sweet moves that really added to the night. For the Aces they’ll have to like their wounds and hope that luck really doesn’t even out over the season. Quick word for the management committee, well played guys, you got us.

He does the odd grasstrack meeting.

Jye averaged 6.50 around the NSS so he’s a big improvement for Poole. Becker was the fifth best rider on display in the recent SON with his double figure score so he’s improves things further, especially as these lads can take Richie’s rides. Everybody knows how Richie struggles around the NSS. You’ve got to take the luck when it comes your way and I with this in mind I cannot see past a Poole victory. Racing should be great again so not all bad.

The relegation play off, I never knew if it was good or bad to be in that. Like you say if you had beaten Ipswich you’d have dodged the tie with the Monarchs whereas losing meant the Aces has to do battle with them instead.

Yes, good point. They would normal keep going as many Poole meetings have played on after 10.15pm. You’re right that its extremely rare for Poole not to go the full distance. The one ten years ago had nothing riding on it as win or lose Poole we’re out of the play offs, so there was no need to carry on. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for that, it’s goes someway to prove my point as I said only ninety odd percent of the time would meetings be called with the home team in front. I actually didn’t expect it would be ten years ago to find an example but well done, keep them coming.

If you believe yes, I see now why my opinion on the subject would be considered that of a muppet or a wind up merchant. Over the years teams, whether a curfew was in place or there had been an agreed finish time, would continue in an effort to gain a win or call it if they were in front. I’d say this would happen ninety odd percent of the time. Poole over the last decade or so have become infamous for stretching, bending or just plain breaking the rules. This I hope goes some way to explain my take on it all but I can appreciate any newbies without this knowledge would take it as red that everything was above board, as it should be. Alternatively if you believe that clubs call meetings whether in front or not or that Poole’s reputation is unwarranted then I can understand why you’d think my opinion don’t match yours.
