Chris Louis is either working under instruction from Sky, or he doesn't have the nuggets to ask the important questions. This powder puff presenting is one of the reasons i don't have Sky Sports anymore, as i can't tolerate biased garbage.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Science Posted October 18, 2014 Report Share Posted October 18, 2014 Pearson and Tatum went on record to say its been a sensational season?! 1 club folded mid season. 1 set to drop out next season. A FTR system which leaves us with so many riders out of their depth. Meetings which are about as exciting as having teeth pulled out. Clubs effectively going into the playoffs with "select" teams. Yes. What a season its been Just shows what propaganda we get from Pearson when he is on Sky.When he thought he was off air and it was raining he claimed correctly "they should be getting on with it" when they went for an interview.Just a shame he doesn't get to express his personal views on the sport when he is on Sky.

One of the nights when he is "off-duty" at a speedway meeting (usually when he's propping up the bar) I might have a chat with. I'd love to hear his personal views on the state of British Speedway while not hamstring by SKY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Panda Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Your logic is astounding (and not in a good way)! You seem to have connected two separate events that are exactly that - separate! For their part, BV were dealt with and they didn't even dig a hole in the middle of the first and second bends and go unpunished!! The farce we are referring to was NOT of Belle Vue's making. Say what you like............if the original meeting had been run the 'Farce' would never have happened............ RP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 People in glass houses. It's difficult to accept criticism from a supporter of a club who that self same season called off a match for no other reason than that they would have had to field an understrength team.The The only difference was that Poole had more time to think up an excuse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BROCK Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 For the record the 'Farce' as you call it was the rearranged fixture from where there was a fake burst water main at a meeting where Belle Vue riders missed their flights and yet Poole managed to get there ready to race............most Poole fans never even wanted that meeting to start let alone be pulled at heat 10 and it was only run because it was on cut off day................. Sorry to burst your bubble but put your own club in order before criticising what you clearly don't know or remember.............. RP You are of course correct RP, if the earlier farce had not happened , the end of season farce would not have. But you will never get some people to see that. I wish the original meeting had gone ahead as it cost me a lot of money with hotels etc. People in glass houses.

The difference is the Poole incident was an accident. The BV incident was deliberate.

heathen chemistry Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 clubs in the past have been docked points for not fullfilling a fixture without a valid excuse to postpone. poole should of run the match, there no excuse other than the new signing being injured - lame excuse - the guest rule is there or sign another rider end of... but when its poole thing seem to be swept under the rug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cant really blame the bloke can you ? Not going to bite the hand that feeds him is he ? Don't forget he does the Darts too when the Speedway in close season so any upsetting of the paymasters would result in no food on the table . I think Nigel Pearson is very passionate about the sport & does it a lot of good & must get very frustrated telling porkies. BUT ... you have to try & put yourself in his shoes sometimes & see the big picture . ANY real follower of our sport knows the score .. If we put our personal opinions of the chap to one side we ALL know the truth . The coverage does seem to come over as pro Poole but is possibly built up as some sort of pantomime thing .. They try to get Rosco & Havvy wound up too ... The thing is there are not many people who watch Speedway on Sky who don't go to matches or are members of the " I used to go to Speedway are Olsen & Mauger still riding " club . THE REGULAR FAN KNOWS THE TRUTH . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReturn Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 Has anyone said it was deliberate apart from a few paranoid fans? It perhaps was an accident, but with all the stunts Poole pull, you can't blame fans for doubting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusTokio Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 One of the nights when he is "off-duty" at a speedway meeting (usually when he's propping up the bar) I might have a chat with. I'd love to hear his personal views on the state of British Speedway while not hamstring by SKY He's got a regular column here where he loosens up a little, but you still feel he's holding something back. He's definitely passionate about the sport but would be great to hear what he really thinks sometimes. For me it's pretty obvious why Poole love Sky. 1) They are always challengers, always, so are naturally going to be on more often. 2) In Middlo and Ford they have two excellent talkers at the top who want to play the game and give Sky what they want. 3) They have a big fan base and bring more viewers in. 4) When Poole are on Sky, their stadium is packed unlike others who are half empty which creates and awful atmosphere. What's not to like? Yes, maybe they could come across a little less pro-Poole, but when the Pirates make it so easy for them to bring some hype into the sport, it's pretty obvious why the broadcaster would like them so much. Plus, they probably enjoy seeing so many people would up by it, I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavan Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 I have no doubt the Poole hole was a genuine accident. The problem is that Poole fans seem incapable of accepting respected views from trackside that the hole was reparable with the correct material - and the track would have been rideable. What say you to that? That mate is exactly what everyone is saying. The creation of the hole was not deliberate, we are not saying it is. The fact is the hole would have been repairable with the correct material. Poole did not have the material nor seem to bothered about repairing it. You just cant say these things to certain Poole fans as they either abuse you or tell you its anti poole or trolling when quite simply its a straight forward question 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
