Phil The Ace Posted August 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 I wasn't saying it's wrong that summers was in. It's a good bit of business. At least u have done it the right way and not faked an illness or injury like some would have. But I also did think you couldn't sack an assessed rider till he got an average. But I could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 That rule only lasted a year. And Wolves broke it anyway! Not seen any changes in ruling on that (but why would I be surprised!). So why the comments by Coventry who replaced the Pole at the start of the season 'before the league starts'?? I never understood how we replaced Sowka and didn't agree with it either.

I don't think Coventry made any comments. But the one season they had that rule Wolves got ride of Sowka a week early, Scunny dropped a useless Aussie who I can't even name and BV dropped a Pole. So it was ignored at least 3 times. They then sensibly dropped the rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Leslie Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 How are Swindon able to use Rob Branford as a full time FTR when he wasn't on the Fast Track list at the start of the season, and was only later introduced as a "can't be used full time, guest rider only"?

New rules that apply only to Swindon probably. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orion Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) I think once you become known as cheats people can jump to the wrong conclusion. It goes with the territory. Very true ..but I think in time people will forgive Belle Vue for there made up water leak v Poole last year ..even thou they were found guilty and fined .

I'm sure somone has explained this already on a couple of threads. He wanted to focus on the PL and NL this season so asked to listed as a guest option only but he decided mid season he would want a full time spot if possible. Could somone in the know please confirm whether thats correct or not?! I'm sure i've read it a couple of times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialOne Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Have the rules changed then? Thought you couldn't drop an assessed rider until they did minimum 10 matches? ? Or is this just to suit Swindon? Your own team set the precedent for this Steve before we hear more of your boring conspiracies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 Your own team set the precedent for this Steve before we hear more of your boring conspiracies Dodgy engine failures, riders suddenly appearing on the FTR list. Less conspiracy more blatant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebrum Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 It'll be funny if they do, another 'league championship' won by a team who lost nearly half their leavue meetings, lol! By the way, that's no.2 on the list of things the pokc sycophants are too thick to realise that the pokc actually does more harm than good. Another day another sycophant rant. Long live the play offs. Without the play offs the season would already be over for 6 teams, including those riding tonight. Some people are just too thick to see the bigger picture.

The list is so long, it's okay for you pokc sycophants you've only got two benefits to remember. Sorry, but what's the pokc? Not sure I've heard of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orion Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 It's the mini tourney usually raced for in the rain at the end of the season, bizarrely the winners are called 'league champions', lol!
