Bagpuss Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 So the Poole 'honest as the day is long' Pirates head to Norfolk this week for the final regular season clash which many will see as a Play Off final rehearsal. Lynn currently 6-3 up in terms of points taken off eachother so far so a narrow Pirates win would square things up and no doubt give them a psychological advantage going into the Play Offs in a month or so. Poole the form team at the moment and they ride Lynn almost as well as their own circuit so will be a tough match for the Stars. Thursdays are a bad night for me personally with work getting in the way so may have to be satisfied with updates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 I hope Buster holds back on preparing one of his "special" tracks until, if we are lucky enough to be there, we meet Poole in the play offs. Â As for Thursday night let's hope for a good nights entertainment and the right result for Speedway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointsmeanplayoffs Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 After their actions last week, I'd imagine the Pirates will get a frosty reception at the Norfolk Arena. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can You Feel The Porse Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 If there any justice in this world. Lynn will win by 20 points with the winning margin coming from there 2 fast track reserves. #TeamLewis #PlayByTheRules #cheatersneverprosper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I cant' see the point anymore, Like PMP sez After what has happened this pass week, I ask, what's the point. I suggest that we let Poole win by a big score, probably field a NL side, so Matt Ford can go home happy in the knowledge that they are the top team now , so he won't have to change any more rules, There will be no need to pull in any more favours, He wont have to look or make any more loop holes. His job is done. Like all the years prior, he has singly handed destroyed the whole integrity of the season, just so he can be a winner. Â That must make him the saddest person in the world..... Â It was drilled into me from an early age; If you can't play to the rules, than don't play at all...... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 What have I missed? What has Matt Ford done in the last week? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 What have I missed? What has Matt Ford done in the last week? Fiddled Benji Compton in at number seven, there are several pages on the subject in the Poole 2014 thread. Â Regardless of who wins the Play Offs now it feels like the shine had been taken off the EL season by this goalpost moving, ultimately it's the sport that suffers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole moving the goalposts was almost expected before the end of the season , but why would any team be worried by the presence of Benji Compton ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulco Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Â Â I think the way things have been conducted that has boiled peoples piss. Come on , we all know the sport is corrupt as hell and self interest is the order of the day . So why folk continue to get upset about it instead of giving up like thousands of others , is beyond me . Does anyone really think that having Benji Compton at reserve is suddenly giving Poole some sort of huge advantage ? It's not exactly up there with the Belle Vue meeting last year in terms of a carve up now . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Turner Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Poole will be looking to win this one. The league title will feel much more attainable for Poole if they pull off the win. As always hoping for a 0 from Benji. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Poole moving the goalposts was almost expected before the end of the season's , but why would any team be worried by the presence of Benji Compton ? As always its the principle of goalpost moving and a p!ss weak governing body which cheeses people off. All we want is s professionally run sport played on a level playing field, personally I'd swap being thirteen points clear at the top for that. As for Compton he probably won't make a massive difference BUT his extra experience compared to Hopwood & Johnson could gain an extra point or two in a play off tie and that could be huge.

Trees Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Agree with Gordon 100%. Whole stadium should show their displeasure of Poole's antics. Hope Matt interviews Middlo or Ford about it :-) Edited August 10, 2014 by Trees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrss Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Compton is crap and won't score many points. And as buster has said before when riding Poole cheats never prosper. Hopefully the stars will take all the points . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
