If Poole finish top, I can't see them picking Swindon - surely Coventry would be their pick after tonight's win?

You are absolutely right - I have NO idea what you are on about! As for being deluded the definition being "make (someone) believe something that is not true" - it looks like irony IS lost on you

..and you think he's the one that's deluded! Hope irony isn't lost on you!

As Doyle said - that's harsh! Although I'm sure a number of Lions fans will be happy with this.

Thanks for the clarification. As you say this is "in your mind". In the real world - as pointed out above by myself, Orion and Woz01, the team that finishes top is not necessarily the best team.

No problem with this as long as there is a "pukka" doctor's note. However riding one day and not the next suggests that not to be the case - especially when the team was announced before he rode in Poland - so how does he know he won't be well enough the following day?

I also want to say that KL were my tip to win it this year (and still can) but as with last year the injury curse will possibly impact this. Looking at the play offs, outside of Swindon, I would still want KL to win

Of course there is a doubt! The aim of the 'regular' season is to finish in the top 4. Finishing top does NOT make you the best team over the season - ask any other team that have been in that position before - Swindon, Poole, Birmingham etc. Now, whether I think it is right or not is another question. I have always believed that whoever finishes top should be the champions and then the top 4 do the play-offs - BUT that is not how it is. While it is the way it is - top of the league does not equate to the best team!

Sorry - have to disagree. The league campaign is a qualifying competition - to top the league means nothing - it doesn't mean you were the best team over the season and the only reward you get for finishing top is to pick who you race against!

Why do you really need top spot? The only thing it gives you is choice of teams and, given your current woes, I can't see you wanting to pick any of the other 3 teams now.

Ifs, buts and maybes but I don't think he would have been this year - and he shouldn't be in it next year either. Yes - he said the track was like Poole - not that he was going to ride for them.

It was a joke a bit like Darcy Ward who is: S - seriously in need of staying on the straight and narrow T - trouble! U - unable to learn from previous serious indiscretions P - p*ssed at work I - indefensible D - doing himself and his clubs no favours at all :wink:

Updated for accuracy

Have to agree with LL - Evil twins

A couple of whoppers too

Fishing are we? You will need better bait!

I can't believe you still find that funny and keep dragging it up - twice in 2 days now!

Well done Batch A point is a point but Swindon really made it hard for themselves! Now a waiting game....

Bad start for Swindon is probably more accurate!

Actually I was laughing at you counting your chickens!

:rofl:

Here's an idea - let's cancel the play-offs and give the trophy to Swindon # justsaying

A good team performance from Swindon - looked good! Who would have predicted Swindon hitting 60 tonight - certainly not me!

Fantastic race from Simon and Dakota - woohoo!

Nice However, I think the second reserves race will see the reserves scoring some points
