lionheart Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Is billy bales making a comeback then? Was Ray Bales his son or his father ?? Never fear. With Lord Fraud at the helm there is no way that Poole will not win the EL in 2015 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverblue Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 We all understand about the 45 day rule but isn't it also relevant that according to the press and all at Poole, Darcy was led to believe the decision would be alot sooner and letting it drag on like this is a little strange, it didn't take this long for them to come to a decision about Dudek.

Dudek wasn't an FIM case it was the Polish speedway authorities.............That's why it was sorted out quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squibby Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Was Ray Bales his son or his father ?? I remember seeing Billy Bales way back when. Mind you, a pair of binoculars helped, as he was so small. I think you'll find Ray was his son and yes, he was small too. Both very good riders though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about interpretation. He was probably told he could know within a week and took it as would. Rightly so, his visa concerns should have no bearing on the length of time to reach a decision. What is right is that the FIM come to a correct decision based on the information given during trial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.N.T. Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) We all understand about the 45 day rule but isn't it also relevant that according to the press and all at Poole, Darcy was led to believe the decision would be alot sooner and letting it drag on like this is a little strange, it didn't take this long for them to come to a decision about Dudek. Darcy was led to believe by HIS team of lawyers Dudek was drug related and he took the verdict and has not been fighting it saying he only took a flu remedy or something and it was a pure mistake. He was tested positive and is taking his punishment. While it may be taking a long time, should Darcy still be banned, it will be back dated any way. Trouble is that should he be allowed to return, he now has very little chance of getting a visa in time for the season and would have to be based in Torun rather than Midlo's B&B To be fair to TNT he hasn't said that he knows who is going to be signing, he is merely speculating hence the question marks. The kind of thing that a forum is for really, predictions and discussion. I do not know who is going to sign for Poole and can only speculate like most that the last two places are going to be filled by an asset (Ward or Janowski) and A N Other which as Gordon Bennett correctly points out is why the question marks are there. Where does the name Pontus Aspgren come from in my suggestion. Well I do know that he turned down Somerset due to the fact he wanted to ride in the Elite League and impressed on his first appearance at Wimborne Road in 2013. Also his average fits when you look at who could be signed if Magic returns. With the format yet again showing second strings have much easier races yet again, having Dakota North already is a boost for Poole and I'm sure if he was included, Pontus who averaged over seven in the PL would be capable of mainting his 4+ average ...... if he was to sign ?

semion Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 If Ward isnt at Poole for 2015, I wonder what effect this will have on Holder without his best chum there beside him, Will his main Focus be on GP's and Poland ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semion Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Well as they are the Turbo Twins, spiltting the twins up might have an adverse affect on Holder, and his energies might be channelled elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillipsr Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Holders focus will always be the GP's (as it should be) so dont think we will see much difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dudek is appealing his ban having served only 6 months. Whichever team option MF goes with, unless something dramatically changes, they will not include Pontus Aspgren!! Chris still has to reapply for his visa The application went off last weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear Pontus Aspregen isn't on the agenda, don't think he is as good as some seem to think. i think the time has come now to tell Darcy to forget being in the starting line up and maybe could come back mid season if we can fit him in then to cover any injuries that may occur, visa permitting.

phillipsr Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Dont think he can get a visa if hes riding for half a season. Hes either in the team at the start or not ata ll this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INCOGNITO Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Magic to return then by the look of it which is possibly the best option any way and gives them more options for the othr With Australian visa riders unable to double up who would be likely to be included around 4.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
