thecoombdog Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) F*ck me this Benji Compton bollox has gone on far too long. Its boring as hell!! When my beloved Robins finally won the league it was with a tean that included Morris on a dodgy British reduction. I dont see people going on about this all the time because its not Poole. If Poole win the league this year Benji C00000000000mpton will be mentioned on here for years to come! People need to get a grip! One NL wobbler for another and yeah it was a bit under hand but they are both sh1te so who really cares 2 weeks later?!! Get over it people!!

Red Panda Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 But at the end of the day its not Kasprzak at reserve scoring double figures is it? Its Benji Compton and I am not taking anything away from Benji or Ben Hopwood or Brendan Johnson but none of them are contributing to Poole Speedway are they? because the only way they score points is when they are gifted them. Â Once again I am not showing disrespect to the riders I am just being honest. Â If it was a rider who was better than Brendan Johnson then I could understand the fans frustration but Poole are only replacing a struggling rider with another struggling rider who is not going to do any better than Brendan. Â Obviously fans have different opinions on the situation but it doesn't bother me because the change is not going to make a difference to winning and losing the EL because both riders score 0 or 1 at best and I mean that with the upmost respect. The trouble is that certain people on here who do not support Poole have a habit of interfering in Poole matters and apparently only their opinion counts...........

Bagpuss Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) B******s are they walking away because of alleged cheating...........fans are walking away because they are not getting a quality product at their own tracks.............Poole are successful purely because they have a promoter that works for the club and gets the best he can out of the riders..........he does what other promoters are not doing and that is getting out there and promoting................there are a few promoters out there that could learn from him instead of sitting on their backsides expecting the world to come to them.............. Â RP Typical arrogant and inaccurate Poole response. Plenty of other promoters promote but not all get rules made and altered on a plate for them like the Dark Lord Ford, he has had some kind of influence over the MC for years and season after season stunts are pulled for Poole's benefit and they are never punished for it. And yes people are walking away from the sport as a result. Yourself, Starman, Shovlar & Skidder are brainwashed and sadly will never see what damage your promoter is doing to the sport.

Kester Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 1. The change has made no difference what so ever. 2. People are walking away from the sport because of the product 3 I am a Robin but I must admit Matt Ford and Mick Horton do some brilliant promoting and they do get rewarded with big attendances you only have to look on the bet365 streams to see the fans out in there numbers. 4. There are crisis going on in the world and to think some members are throwing a fit about a rider who cant score point unless gifted it is quite frankly ridiculous. Â Its about time all this Benji Compton stuffed stopped after all Poole demolished Lynn tonight when Benji scored 0 therefore they are the better team no ifs no buts. Â 1. Is not relevant 2. Wrong, I know people who have walked as they're sick of this type of garbage from Ford. 3. Has nothing to do with this issue. 4. True, it's only sport. But if a sport can't offer a fair playing field to all competitors then it's not much of a sport at all. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Gater, you completely miss the point, the fact Compton scored 0 is irrelevant, it was the way it was done. As and yes people are walking away from the sport because of fiddling, two of them have posted on this thread. Â As for Poole being better than Lynn, they are right now but may not be in six weeks time. That's a home win and an away win each from our four clashes, I make it 176-184 to Poole over 60 heats so hardly a fag paper in it really.

Tom Turner Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 To be honest most of us are over Benji. As far as cheating goes, I have seen worse go untouched in speedway. It's the attitude of some Poole supporters who aren't big enough to say "We shouldn't have done that" and admit that it was unfair which is causing this separation amongst the community. A small token gesture from a Poole supporter who understands how it must feel when it seems like another club is given preferential treatment over your own is all it takes to repair the damage. Unfortunately some supporters seem to show their support for cheating which is bound to cause upset among any supporter who truly loves and cares for their sport. Â Congratulations Poole on a well deserved win. The majority of the team has been here since the first day and each one has played his part to get to where they are today. Let's keep it up but not yet write off King's Lynn or they will be determined to inflict an even bigger away defeat in the final! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherborne Green Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Why don't all those that are so up in arms about cheating on the second reserve front get up a petition. Â They could get all the signatures and send it to the BSPA at Rugby to get Poole thrown out of the league and shut down. Â After all it is a hanging offence to cheat and get in a rider who scores nil unless someone falls off or retires. Â As I said before I do not agree with Brendon's being replaced but this has gone on far too long and people who feel so strongly should take it up with the correct authorities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I am just saying the Benji stuff doesn't bother me one bit. But you must acknowledge that it bothers lots of others and that it's just the latest in a long line of fiddles and rule bends in Poole's favour. Which is making some people stop going to speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, some people have stopped going, they have walked away from the sport, regardless of how many were there tonight. You will always get big crowds when the top sides meet. It's all the other fixtures during the season which cause the problem. Edited August 14, 2014 by Gordon Bennett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â You can't say you ain't been warned. Â Get thy arses in gear, pretty damn sharp KB should probably be scoring more than eight but to be fair to him the three in the middle order probably cost us the meeting if you want to point fingers, all have performed much better than that this season. Â Expect the whole side to be much sharper than that at Play Off time. Edited August 14, 2014 by Gordon Bennett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
