Gemini Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) September 5th? See you there! Coming back from holiday a day early so I don't miss this one. Toll Barr island on a Friday in rush hour? I guess I'll find out what it's like. .......Pirate Baz.......What is really bad, as already said many times, is the silence from the BSPA, Phil Morris, or whoever has allowed this to happen, that is what has created such a furore. Too true! Just a post from Phil Morris on here would have ended all the speculations but saying absolutely nothing makes it all a lot worse and we come to our own conclusions. Why not pm Wizzer and ask him those questions?? Why should we and would he answer a pm anyway? Phil has often posted on the forum but is strangely quiet now. Just an explanation as to the reasons for Compton dropping down the list would suffice. Simple but it's not been forthcoming so we all know what that means.

TesarRacing Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Superb post Baz,but will it make any difference-i somehow doubt it. Any chance of getting something on thurs seems remote now after i see who is guesting for us. Hoping for a rain off myself as we have the worst guest possible and I cant make it, I don't think much of your promoter then - I thought he was supposed to be good!!!

Pirate Baz Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 This post is in answer to the one from: (Pirate Baz, on 12 Aug 2014 - 08:55 AM, said:) In your defence of Matt Ford, I would like you to ask yourself WHY: WHY, Did Morris make the decision to fabricate the riders in a certain order. Agree. I made the point that it's suspicious. WHY, Was it only Compton to dramatically drop so many places and not anybody else. Agree again. WHY, was Poole the only benefactor of this cohesion As far as I know they were the only club interested in signing Benji. but these three questions are the same just reworded. Do you know for a fact there was cohesion? WHY, was it only Poole who asked for the rules to be changed Do you know for a fact that Poole asked for the rule to be changed? WHY, Not wait for the season to end before any rule changes were made. Agree totally. This has come up before and is wrong. The common denominator to all those questions Is Mat Ford. Now you may say , yeah, but it needs the approval of the majority of promoters to see the rules change . So bearing in mind there are only 9 clubs now, Ford would need only 4 others to back his suggestions. With his connections and leverage, getting four to sign with him would be a doddle. Lets just imagine a phone conversation with another Promoter, one that he has not got any claims on. Wife calling out, Jack ( fictitious name, hard working with little time), Matt Ford on the Phone, What's he want, Sometime about changing the rules, tell him I'll call him back, No, he wants to talk now. Yes Matt, can't this wait , I'm very busy. So you say when the riders are at 24 on the FTR list he can be replaced by whatever. Yeah what you like . Is that all. Cheers mate. He puts the phone down, his wife sez what was that all about, Jack replied, oh nothing love, It don't apply to us, our riders will never be as low as 24 on the list. So easy to understand, but so wrong in that promoters being able to instigate rule changes so easily. and it is always the same man..... Never been a fan of Terry Pratchett's Discworld. Prefer fact to fiction. Getting back to Pirate Baz, please don't paint this picture, that Ford is an angel cause we all know he's not...... As I said he's a (successful) businessman.

tellboy Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Hoping for a rain off myself as we have the worst guest possible and I cant make it, Hoping for a rain off,nice .Is this just a Poole thing where you only think of yourselves. Harris should be an improvement on Pawlicki around our place. Edited August 12, 2014 by tellboy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Now that was a ploughed field of a track and worked against the Stars that night. It was a little 'deep' that night as I recall. Think Lynn riders had a full days practise on it. 5 Lynn riders flew on it while 2 couldnt hack it. If my memory serves me right it was Nermark and Mills/Lee ? Anyone got the Indivudual scores from that night ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) September 5th? See you there! That's the one Enjoyed my last trip to Coventry, meeting took forever but as was staying over I didn't care Starlady is cutting off her nose to spite her face, I'd never do that hahahahahahaha No Trees, sticking to my principles exactly the same as you with BSI Too true! Just a post from Phil Morris on here would have ended all the speculations but saying absolutely nothing makes it all a lot worse and we come to our own conclusions. Why should we and would he answer a pm anyway? Phil has often posted on the forum but is strangely quiet now. Just an explanation as to the reasons for Compton dropping down the list would suffice. Simple but it's not been forthcoming so we all know what that means. Exactly Gemini. It's the silence from all concerned that is fuelling the fire. A simple statement would at least give us the facts as to why it happened. Whether we then choose to approve or not is up for debate Hopefully I'll get to see you this time round.

MrMungo Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Mills @ 5! Crikey. I think every Pirate should be roundly booed Thursday night regardless.That's the sort of patheticness I would expect from the Dudley lot, not you Screamer! If you have frustrations, and I guess you do(!), they should be directed at the management team, and not to the Poole riders.

Bagpuss Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 From memory Paul Lee was doing a good job at 5 with Mills at 2 early doors, then Josh Auty wiped Bruce out one Wednesday evening at Lynn and he was never the same after that. Lee's injury absence and consequent lack of form went a long way towards Lynn not retaining the title IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 No Trees, sticking to my principles exactly the same as you with BSI :-P That's what I meant with the hahaha, wondered if I'd made myself clear ;-) Mills @ 5!

Gemini Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 .......Star Lady......That's the one Enjoyed my last trip to Coventry, meeting took forever but as was staying over I didn't care All I can say is thank goodness for a terrible memory. It certainly rings a bell as being a long drawn out meeting and I know I was cheesed off at the time - probably made worse by the fact Kings Lynn won (I've just had to check the score) - but I've forgotten all about it now. Hope it's a better meeting this time, good weather and there are no delays. Also hope to see you at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semion Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 So it was Star Lady's typo. Lol. I think Bruce had an E/F when on a 5-1 with TT. It's been a while since Buster has produced one like that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 In what should have been an eagerly awaited clash between the league's top two teams , It seems strange at the lack of posting on this topic. I thought it was just me who is P----d off with the whole scenario of Poole pulling the strings, But from the looks of this thread, so are a lot of other posters. Whatever happens tonight will be hollow, and not mean a damn thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Things could get interesting. We are level on racing meeting's with the fixers and they lay 10 points behind. If they were to pick up a 4 pointer tonight it would see them just sit 6 points behind. With tonight's meeting there are 9 meeting's remaining and it is critical we get the win and all 3 points tonight. If they win I just feel that may be enough to give them fixers enough to push on an steal top spot then move on to play-off winners. Forget the Compton situation, Poole really have ramped it up in recent weeks. Squeaky bum time for us Stars fans, we really really need this win badly tonight.

Pirate Baz Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Honestly can't see anything other than 3 points for the Stars, that's if the weather doesn't win. Not overjoyed with using Harris, but I don't know how he usually goes around Lynn. Old boy's Darcy and Magic should go OK so we need big performances from Josh and Vaclav, who I'm not sure if he's ever been there before, and our guest rider. We should get out gunned at reserve, although Kyle is riding well at present the home boys are pretty dominant round there. Just seen the forecast it's it's the 'showers that can hit anywhere' scenario. Also supposed to be slow moving so if they hit (Saddelebow?) they won't be clearing quickly. Will make a decision on travelling later this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
