What rule are they sticking to and Poole not??

 

What is wrong with giving a few of the FT riders the opportunity to guest and going for the best of the bunch?!

 

Good idea, perhaps all the teams should sack their number 7 and each meeting they pick a rider from the Draft, the team lower in the league gets first pick, of course, it's only fair.

 

Or is it only Poole who can do it?

But they don't want one of them they want Benji!!!

 

How inconvenient that he is now ranked above Lee Smart.

 

But of course they have done nothing wrong, why should they name a rider at number 7. In fact Poole can probably pick any rider they want in any position. Otherwise its probably a case of victimisation on Poole. :rofl:

You make a good point. Of course the blue tints would be the first to moan if another club tried the same thing.

Come on speedway authorities, sort it out.

Benji Compton has, like Lee Smart - had years to prove himself. He was in the old Conference League in 2005 for Scunthorpe Scorpions IIRC. He was never as good as his brother. His equipment has never been up to much either...

 

What is it with MF choosing all these older 'past it' reserves rather than younger riders who have not yet achieved their potential.

Your anti Poole posts are beyond boring, and actually quite desperate - Poole haven't broken any rules, as much as you keep insisting they have.

 

I think I'm right in saying that you can only use the same guest 4 times throughout a season, has it occurred to you that Poole may use "Jog Bloggs" as a guest and rattle up some big points and they could be $hitted on from a great height when he goes and lands a full time job somewhere else in the league? Swings and roundabouts, and whilst it may seem to put Poole at an advantage on the face of it, riders won't be in favour and would much sooner plump for any other full time offers that come up if they do enough to impress.

Is there a time limit by which Poole have to commit to signing a number 7?

 

Before sacking the last one.

 

Don't confuse sacking a rider with a rider withholding services. One is self-inflicted.

Could you then please add in the other posters who are accusing Poole of the same. I am not the only one saying it.

I thought all teams had to have declared riders in there team positions, i must be wrong then.

KK's testimonial is not due for the end of season!! If it were to be KK then Poole wouldn't have needed to pay a loan fee for Darcy's replacement!!?? Always good to have a good relationship with Torun!! :wink::t: So will it be Adrian or Emil??

 

A most apt relationship. The most corrupt team in England teaming up with the most corrupt team in Poland.

Which rules allows Poole a facility for a sacked rider?

I really really really am not seeing the issue with Poole. Yes, Poole have played plenty of shenanigans in the past but on this occasion there is absolutely nothing what so ever to look at. The rules are bloody simple

 

Smart is declared rider

Smart was sacked and replaced

Replacement got injured so prior declaration continues so Smart was asked & rode on the 30th and still managed to pick up another £120 cheque for doing fook all.

Smart is still sacked by the way but remains in the declared team as that's all the Fast Track rule allows

Rules only state that a missing Fast Track rider can only be replaced by a Fast Track rider with the same or below grading. It's not a facility as such as the Fast Track riders are seen as just filling gaps as you can't have missing reserves. This is what Poole are doing.

 

WTF is people's issue as on this occasion the Poole noses are clean, 100%.

 

What is it people want Poole to do as they've done what they need to do, the rest is down to the BSPA. None of it is Poole's problem

 

No screamer you cant go posting things like that

Compton has moved above Smart before he could be declared in their line up so surely won't be able to now?

Think promoters should dispute it if he does

Only the authorities know when Poole sent in the paperwork for their redeclared line up.

Yes but why is Smart still showing as the number 7?

If Compton replaced him before the end of April then Smart would have not been eligible to ride in his place last Wednesday against Birmingham(as up until the 30th April Compton was below Smart - a position reversed from 1st May).
