Guest Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 For heavens sake gustix - change the bloody record! You've been banging on completely inaccurately about this for months now. The Kent side had a real problem with fitting in riders when Steve Boxall's assessed average was so high. When a rider as talented as Benji Compton suddenly became available early on in the season, the management could either have left it and Benji would've signed for someone else or make a (difficult) decision to temporarily change the side to get Benji in. The latter was the decision made. As soon as Boxall's average reduced, Mason was reintroduced and the Kings won every remaining home league match after that with Compton & Mason actually a formitable partnership. The decision was hard but clearly proven to be correct. Your constant banging on about it shows literally no understanding of how one has to juggle resources and make team management decisions. Is there ANY chance you'll finally understand what happened and why!? Yes I do understand the David Mason situation. I have been around speedway long enough to understand how managements have to operate. I just drew a parallel to Mason to highlight the fact that as happened with Mason, now no explanation has been made in regard to the absence of Connor Coles for the match at Stoke. All it needs is for a reason to be given and the whole affair can go on the proverbial back-burner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, so as you understood this so well all along, one can only conclude that your constant references to the David Mason 'situation' was all along just mischief-making...

Guest Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Hmm, so as you understood this so well all along, one can only conclude that your constant references to the David Mason 'situation' was all along just mischief-making... I think the point TMW is making is how a rider with a better average than one name for the Kent Kings side is still included, yet Connor Coles seemingly "gets the elbow" in favour of an unattached rider Danny Phillips. Strange things happen in regard to the Kent Kings side and its team selections - did someone mention David Mason? Not so! I mentioned the David Mason affair in passing because it took so long to get an acceptable explanation from Kent Kings of him being dropped from the side in the early weeks of the season. That was the reason I referred to it in the query - voiced by others besides yours truly - in regard to Connor Coles not riding at Stoke. If you read my query in full you will see the Mason reference was only a throw away comment. By only quoting (highlighted in your quote) you have taken the topic off course. At least that's how I see it. All that is really needed from Kent Kings is a simple: Connor Coles misses the match at Stoke because.????.. It gives Danny Phillips the chance to make his Kings' debut.

Parsloes 1928 nearly Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Right, well I wasn't actually referring to your one 'throwaway' (barbed though it was..) comment on this thread - more that you'd gone on about the decision to drop Mason all year without seemingly pausing for breath. Happy to hear that actually you understood why it happened all along!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to hear that actually you understood why it happened all along!!! Well I didn't understand the David Mason affair in the first case as to why he was dropped. And at the time, as Posts on the topic show nor did other people. But we accepted the explanation and his welcome return when it happened. May I say that your latest explanation gives even further clarification to the issue - data that I don't recall previously seeing to ee what had happened. But you give a much clearer insight into why he temporarily went out of the side and was later reinstated. The reason why I made a mention of Mason in a question about Coles was because it took quite a few Posts as to why Mason had been dropped. The same thing appears to be happening in regard to Coles when a simple comment from the Kings could have avoided an irrelevant debate in regard to Mason. Now perhaps we can get a clarification, albeit possibly a simple - but much needed - reason for Connor Coles not riding at Stoke?

waco Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Got to say an explanation as to Connor Coles not riding at Stoke should be given at least on the B.S.P.A site,,Problem is the only person giving valid information on the club has resigned..

Isn't there an official date for the end of the speedway season? i.e the last dat of October or is that something I am recalling from "my speedway days"? Fingers crossed that the Stoke double-header fixtures manages to beat Jupiter Pluvius? Edited October 23, 2013 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the "wild countryised area" where I live that looks like yet another day indoors! ::: I wonder what Nikko's reply was in regard to Connor Coles? It's nice to see him venture on this forum again. In the past, his comments have always worth taking serious notice of. Edited October 23, 2013 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I can see 'gone fishing' but I think that is a permanent message that one can have within a Post - is it called a signature - rather than his reply to the Connor Coles query that remains unanswered. Re 'gone fishing' - I daresay that's Nikko's feelings however. Edited October 23, 2013 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 It would appear according to forcasts that the mega storm will not arrive until sunday night ,which means Stoke may well ..get the meeting on and completed providing the track has not been waterlogged by heavy rain on friday..

I am certaintly not saying tough if there is no info from any other source, I would hope there would be but the promotion have told the website not to expect any info after this weekend until next year. Shame but that's what they have said. And yes, Gone fishing is my signature. It's what I now do with all the extra free time I now have. I wish the Kent Kings organisation nothing but my best wishes.

Well enjoy yourself Nikko. Thanks for the explanation regarding the website - how weird! And it looks more likely than ever that the reason for Connor Coles absence (at this point in time) for Kings match at Stoke on Sunday will remain one of speedway's great unanswered mysteries.
