Wendy Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 A couple of questions for those in the know - firstly, in terms of cheque books, who do people reckon has more money, Keith Chapman or Matt Ford? Secondly, if it's true that Sky want Poole to win the play offs, why would that be? Do they own part of Poole or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwatcher Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 I think Ford pays thier wages Haha. They are so far up his backside it is unreal. Lost count of how many times they managed between them to mention that Darcy Ward was missing. It got very boring in the end. It is now the end of that issue until the FIA come up with the ruling. If he isn't banned for at least a year then someone is pulling some pretty hefty strings. Not on any drugs for once Poole have done it fair and square, so I give them thier full dues for that. It is the matter of the play off's that is the question, not who came top of the league. If any team wins it by pulling strings to get riders that are just there to make the teams in the play off's look good, then yes it will be wrong. I hope for once that they abide by the rules and run teams that they are entiled to run. I know it will make a farce of the play off's to see teams that are without top stars, but they all could have ended up in the same boat and it may still happen, I hope not as I would hate to see anymore riders injured this year, we are getting far to many of them now. Something has got to alter, to slow the bikes down and make them more controlable, before riders get injured to never ride again or get killed, because that is the way things are going. It is even worse with the younger riders and there have been some hoorid accident to them this year. We have got to do something before it is to late. I hope the play off go well and who ever wins out of the 4 teams will be a well desreved winner of the play off's but in my thinking not the Elite League as that has already been discided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Cheetah Snr Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Why has the second leg of the final been moved to a wednesday? So that Poole can have the second leg of the final on their normal race night. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Just came on the thread to ask the same question. I'd booked the 20th off work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) idiot brilliant. So I book the time off work for the Monday only to find its been moved to the Wednesday. Screw the fans once again. Is it any wonder I rarely go these days? Edited September 25, 2014 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reliant Robin Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 The Wednesday 2nd Leg has been in the public domain for quite a while. It was in as 'Reserved Playoffs' a good couple of months ago on the Swindon website, with the 20th not appearing in the fixture list.

Jacques Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 Why don't they actually announce this to people FFS! We had leave booked around the consecutive Monday dates going off the official FIM fixture list. !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily having just had a word with my boss about the useless-ness of the BSPA and how the weather can be a PITA he's agree that I can have the Wednesday or Monday off or any other day they think - as long as I don't take any extra days off. But I'm lucky, I have a flexible boss - how many others do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm lucky, I have a flexible boss - how many others do? I certainly don't! Luckily I'm on days so can at least go to the home leg and watch away on tv although I'd have liked to go. That's if we get there of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
