Well that's BV up against it then

Obviously more that the Bees or Robins who both went missing in the semis Talking of going missing - will Matej actually ride tomorrow.

Totally disagree - if he's sick - don't ride! It has been 3 weeks now and it's extracting the urine! He is declared for the two meetings this week so he should ride. If AJ rides - it is blatant cheating - my opinion

And there the manipulation of the rules begin. All riders who progress from PL to EL get a converted PL average - why should ex-FTRs be any different - given that they have been protected at reserve for a couple of years. Weren't their PL averages used to get their positions in the FTR draft - from which certain teams benefitted. So enough of the manipulation and just a fair conversion from PL average and not an arbitrary figure that will benefit some and hamper others!

Absolutely not - they should move up on their converted PL average which is in the rules - anything else would give a huge advantage to those teams who have the Garrity's, Newman's etc. Garrity on a 3 - you are having a laugh!!

Fortunately we won't see him back at Swindon

Reading were the champions in my eyes and I'm sure for many others too (except Peterborough fans) - I can't believe that was 9 years ago!

For 2 weeks he has been injured for BV but able to ride on the continent. If he rides in the GP this weekend that will be 3 weeks and if he doesn't ride on Monday I really don't think BV should have a facility for him. If he is injured then that's fine - don't ride anywhere. If he is withholding his services (which is in effect what he is doing) then he should get a ban and BV should get a facility or why not just ride?

Wouldn't Somerset be Plan B?

Poole deserve to win - they have been the best team over the season. Whether they will or not will depend on how they perform on track - BV are high on confidence so won't be pushovers but I think Poole will complete the task and win their 3rd EL in a row.

There seems to be a glut of new posters (aka trolls) with similar points of view. It's just getting boring now!

You really do have a problem with the English language! I was talking about playing by the rules - you mentioned cheating! Not sending riders out when the meeting is still being run is not playing by the rules - hence the fines! Sheesh!

Words are cheap but I think you have a problem understanding them! You said that you played by the rules and I pointed out that you didn't and then you go off on your crusade about cheats defending cheats! You keep smiling in your alternate world!

That's why 2 of your riders and your promotion were fined - for playing by the rules??

Swindon did well when they went PL.

Thankfully he's not a Swindon asset and his net worth took a huge tumble last night. I would be surprised to see him ride in UK next year

Just as Bees depended on Garrity - an FTR!

You having sour grapes for breakfast while ready your fairy stories?

Hmmm! Does Havvy not count then?

Apparently you can hold your heads high - according to Game on and mdmc wotsit

Usually only interview heat winners - which why we are seeing Poole and BV being interviewed

Are the Bees out? Oh yes - they are!

Poole were a different class tonight - although Bomber tried hard as always

And well deserved

One word on Batch - embarrassment! Obviously been told he's not in Rosco's plans next season
