What a stupid comment - Benji Compton has a dislocated shoulder, Wally ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivanhoward Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Compton rode at Scunthorpe on Sunday. There was no news of him having crashed so how did he dislocate his shoulder? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribbler Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 As far as I understand it, and I'm neither an expert or trying to be a blindy biased Poole fan, is that following the debacle on the Monday of the original staging, and it was an unfortunate accident despite all the conspiracy theorys, the hole in the track was repaired the next day which was about the only dry day we've had down here in the last two weeks. Â Since then the weather on the south coast has been very bad. It seems every time it rains that the roads get flooded and it's only October, suggesting that the water table is already very high. Poole Stadium, is as I'm sure most of you know, is next to Poole Harbour (Holes Bay) and is very low, which only serves to accentuate the problem. As I said I'm no expert but have been told by someone who claims to know more than me that while the rain is ever a problem there is also moisture coming up from the high water table. Â Forgetting speedway for a moment I am dreading a wet winter if it's like this now. Â The worst aspect of that is that a (supposedly) well run Elite club had NO shale on site. That is inexcusable and unprofessional - and why it appears that Poole did not want to run the meeting with the team they had available. Â Â As an aside I am fed up with the personal attacks by a few Poole supporters on non- Poole supporters. I do not see this happen on any other section of this forum in such a consistent way. Any member of this forum is allowed to comment on any part of this forum. It is the Moderators job to moderate the forum. Attack the post - not the poster. No poster has the right to attack another poster just because they do not like their comments. It is both sad and boring to read the attacks. Quite honestly I am amazed that the posters who are so frequently attacked don't report the attacks. I sometimes wish that they did, rather than comment. Perhaps then we could see more bans being put into place by the moderators and Poole threads would be better places... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike.Butler Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Compton rode at Scunthorpe on Sunday. There was no news of him having crashed so how did he dislocate his shoulder? He did crash actually. he then came out in his next ride and got to final bend on final lap and it popped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucifer sam Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Compton rode at Scunthorpe on Sunday. There was no news of him having crashed so how did he dislocate his shoulder? Â Benji was brought down in a first bend accident in Heat 6 at Scunny. He popped his shoulder back into place and went out in the re-run. Â He subsequently came out in Heat 8, was in third, but went very wide on the final bend, lost third, and crawled over the line. His shoulder had popped back out, and there was a delay between Heats 10 & 11 while he was tended to.

Rob B Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 No chance it will be on tonight with the amount of rain coming later. Tomorrow looks bit better but depends how track copes with today's rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 If tonight and tomorrow are off, any possibility of running friday and saturday at coventry. Don't see why not. Then again forecast isn't looking to great in Coventry either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â All the best Rob You can't come on here posting facts about rider injuries - it destroys any chance of another conspiracy theory!!!! Â Its like the Stars fans bemoaning the possible loss of Porsing if the meeting is deferred to Thursday - without any mention that Poole will be without Milik!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 First anybody had heard of that I suspect. Being in the know like you are you should have posted it earlier perhaps?

That would be because they were unaware of Milik missing i expect! I can't see the benefit of using Brendan instead of Compton anyway unless Compton was injured, it's not as through Johnson is a better option!

ivanhoward Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thanks for the information on Compton. That was all I wanted to know. Being called a 'wally' by Bluejigger was uncalled for. Like many of the posters on this forum he does not have the guts to use his real name. If I ever found out who he is he would never call me or anyone else insulting names.

Star Lady Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 We've all seen the forecasts, would anyone like to tell us what the weather is actually doing in Poole at the moment. A link to a webcam in the area would be even better, then we could see for ourselves without having to bother anyone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
