SteveLyric2 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 The only way to make a ban effective in respect of a draft rider is to not allow a replacement and the team runs four races with only one rider. That would be a proper deterrent by effectively forcing the missing rider to miss all his programmed rides rather than just three if he was actually at the meeting. Yeah that'll get the fans flooding back!!!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I have no idea why Smart missed the meeting but as we broke no rules I have no problem with it. Not sure why others do either. the replacement rider was completely legitimate and below Smart in the rankings. And you still advocate riders picking and choosing meetings. Not a case of worry its a case of not being told where are reserve rider is and why he was not included in the line up, with lack of information given I mean if there is a genuine excuse to why he was missing then great but to not have any information regarding his absence is a P take. I think myself, Shovlar,SteveBrum and Gavan should all go out for a nice meal somewhere maybe have so Steak and Kidney pie and chips or something. Oh i don't know, i like to dine with people who are unbiased and intelligent in their thought process. Makes the food more palatable.

stevebrum Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 You seem to class name calling as banter when it's in your posts but report the same sort of comments to mods to get them banned. As usual - one rule for Poole (BSF members) and another rule for everyone else... Indeed, i know i have had a ban for calling someone an i...t or f..l as its classed as personal attacks i would imagine. Maybe some people are allowed to get away with it and others aren't, strange that. Either way its hypocrisy of the highest order, but then Shov is.

BWitcher Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Yeah that'll get the fans flooding back!!!? Constant rule fiddling/breaking certainly won't. It's interesting that the 'rise of Poole' under the stewardship of Ford has co-incided with a big drop in attendances and subsequently standard of the league.

I guess it would depend on whether the person insulted reported it to the mods or not though Steve but the hypocrisy in reporting someone for doing it & then doing it should never be lost but sadly some people think they're always in the right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 If you read the forum you would know I am an advocate of the draft system and hope it remains in place for years to come. I have no idea why Smart missed the meeting but as we broke no rules I have no problem with it. Not sure why others do either. the replacement rider was completely legitimate and below Smart in the rankings. Wrong again, but then again you get nothing right. Now THAT is a fact. The replacement was below Smart. FACT. Think you have just won the prize pollock award. dear oh dear completly missing what people are saying or choosing to ignore. Smart didnt ride......a better rider did........no reason has been given..........................poole didnt break rules by using Greenwood. Ive left spaces in case you cant read properly. ok put it this way if you dont get what im saying. Poole go to Eastbourne and Janowski doesnt turn up and no explanation given. Instead of Janowski in comes say Lewis Bridger. Now Bridger is miles better than Magic round Eastbourne we all know that but his average is lower. In your demented idea of fair play thats ok!!! Obviously if Janowski is injured its not a problem but what you cant seem to get is no reason has been given for Smarts absence so therefore it is underhand. Jeez man even the true Poole fans on here admit it looks dodgy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salty Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) I'm only surprised it took until the end of April before this sort of issue raised it's ugly head. The sad state of Speedway these days is that any time there is a new rule you just know that certain clubs (if not all) are going to be looking for loopholes to work to their advantage. Poole obviously saw the success their horses for courses guest policy got last year at tracks like Eastbourne and Lakeside, and feeling that they could find a more effective rider at Belle Vue then Lee, decided to replace him for the night. No rules broken (as far as we know) but morally bankrupt. I'm only surprised that they stopped at just replacing the one reserve and didn't have a couple of their Eastern Europeans pick up a mystery virus as well. The fact Lee's name was missing from the programme only adds fuel to the speculation. Edited April 30, 2014 by salty 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez man even the true Poole fans on here admit it looks dodgy You need to learn the rules because what you have just posted is nonesense. If Janowski missed Eastbourne with no explanation, Poole could only use a three pointer. No club would allow Poole to use a rider without a valid reason. If Janowski missed Eastbourne and Poole had an excuse, injured, Ill, then Poole could use a guest in Bridger for example. No cheating, just the rules. So no arguments from anyone. So what is your point?do you have one or is it just another rant with no substance? Listen Gavan I know you are going to be straight back in your ranting ways following me about but the fact is the forum is worse off with your constant snipes at anything Poole. you try to dress it up as debate but there is no debate. It's nonesense. Best bet it to put me on block member then you won't have to get upset with my posts. I won't bother responding to any of your posts in future. You can troll away night and day safe in the knowledge that you won't get a response out of me. Up The Pirates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Magic definitely and Milik probably won't be at Kirky Lane for the B fixture. They will probably pick up a 24hr back injury like Screen a few years ago during the average fixing scandal. That of course involved speedways greatest cheats...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy jimmy Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Why is the Lee Smart story so important, I hope we pull a similar fast one when we go down to Poole with Ben Reade. P.S. we still won by 12 in front of a "stunned crowd who couldnt believe the referee"....hahahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Fairly sure as if an acceptable reason wasnt given then surely the Belle Vue management would have protested and the ref not allowed Olly to ride? I don't think Belle Vue would protest about anything Poole do in view of past favours. So who was the referee then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrotron Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Any suggestions on who would like to be the referee! Has to be my favourite referee of all time Christina Turnbull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The Pirates! dear oh dear i was using it as an example didint say it was likely to happen. understand what the whole forum is trying to tell you. what Poole did missing Smart was within the rules but morally incorrect is that so hard for you to understand!!!!!! Lets see what happens when you go to Lakeside or Eastbourne and while you are talking about the forum being worse off with my postings, i have over 20 likes for the posts i have wrote in the last couple of days on this thread. And i can count on one hand the amount you have had, so whose posts need to go from the forum. Its called debating and you can not do that and are constantly mocked by lots of people on here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
