foreverblue Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Thought it was always a nice touch to keep supporters involved in the situation of potential teams. Ive never debated Matt Ford builds good teams but you always gloss over that. Just dont like the man. What has the number of league titles got to do with anything. We know what Ford wants ....he wants Ward but unfortunatly Ward will be banned. He should have signed Magic ages ago. Agree with you about Magic, should of signed him ages ago and got Ward back mid season or next season ban permitting, should also have got Shamek back instead of Dakota North who will prove to be a mistake.

g13webb Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 There was me thinking that Poole Speedway rules the roost, and that they were the biggest club in the land. But hey, how wrong can someone be........ Poole Speedway has disregarded everyone in their quest to persevere with the Darcy Ward situation and have become a laughing stock with their blinded optimism. Every single person involved or interested in this sport knows that Darcy Ward is guilty of this said crime and will be banned. Everyone that is, with the exception of Poole Speedway and SOME of their fans..... The season is less than a month away, and their team has still to be completed. The contempt they have shown to the sport, to the fans, to the League, to the opposition is beyond belief. To dwell, for so long on someone who doesn't give a damn, at the expense of everything else speaks volumes of their integrity. I just wish the power people of our sport were big enough to take Poole to task and give them the ultimatum they deserve.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should they be taken to task...............as it stands just because they have not announced who the last two riders are going to be they have not done anything wrong..................I am not going to repeat my thoughts on Darcy other than the team should have been planned around him not being there in the first place..............

Poole speedway know that he will be banned but like everyone else they don't know for how long, the fact that there team is not complete is not an issue and its not the only team that is incomplete, you may not have noticed your own team isn't complete either. They have not shown contempt for the sport in this issue, the governing body who have not made or released their decision does show contempt towards speedway. Why should Poole be taken to task on this issue? Edited February 25, 2015 by foreverblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverblue Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Sorry to disapoint you, but nobody at Poole speedway knows he will be banned. Of course they do, he has effectively been banned since august, it's just the length of the ban that we don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should Poole be taken to task on this issue? To me the main part of the team is No. 1 to 5, and we had those back in Dec 2014. The FTR in positions 6 and 7, has been turned into a lottery. Poole proved last year by having one good reserve was enough to be successful. By a ridiculous positioning of the FTR's you have been able to keep your prize asset where we had to forego that option. It has been unfortunate the rider we were originally assigned has packed up and as of yet a adequate replacement has not been found. But please don't compare this to the reluctance of Poole to show WARD that speedway will survive, whether he rides or not.... Probably had Poole been harder on Ward in the past, instead of always justifying his childish behaviour, ....Probably,,, Just probably, he wouldn't be in the mess he finds himself in now..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Poole can take as long as they like. If they don't want to declare/announce their 1-7 until a few days before their first meeting thats up to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YerRopes Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Agree with you about Magic, should of signed him ages ago and got Ward back mid season or next season ban permitting, should also have got Shamek back instead of Dakota North who will prove to be a mistake. A most sensible choice - Magic and Shamek with Noddy would give you 3 very strong heatleaders.. I'd forget Ward for this season, he was pretty average last year (by his own high standards set previously, admittedly) and it is questionable whether he would perform better than the 3 mentioned above should he return in 2015.

I think you will find that he wasn't assigned - he was picked by your management team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g13webb Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I think you will find that he wasn't assigned - he was picked by your management team. He was assigned by the BPSA to the Tier 2 of the group of riders, because we were force to pick last, he was the only rider left ..... Sorry but I believe Lewis Kerr is a Lynn Asset so how did you forego anything..........you were still allowed to keep one..............because both were in the same asset group you had no option to lose one.............. RP Actually they were in separate groups. Kerr was in Tier 1 and Rose was in Tier 2. Teams were only allowed to hold one of their riders, penalising teams who bring on these youngsters.... Teams with only one decent rider were laughing.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he hasn't, he's been SUSPENDED!! And before you ask why I didn't say the same to foreverblue, it's because he stated he's been 'effectively banned' which is not the same. You need to stop posting he's been banned as that is not the case.....yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
