Posf2 Poole V Coventry

What is wrong with cheering when an opposition rider falls, gifting points to your team? Particularly when, like Harris, he was quite likely to overtake and win!

 

Obviously the majority of fans don't want to see any rider hurt and I wouldn't condone it if it was a serious crash,, but in the instance discussed it was clear Harris hadn't had a heavy fall!

 

So where's the problem?

Whilst many would like to delude themselves that reservations expressed are due to jealousy or blind anti Poole hysteria , it would be more on the mark to reflect that past antics have made many believe that Poole are capable of fiction of this nature. Perhaps Ford etc may reflect on that.

No one says it was ....but as I said if you think people are going to take the word of Matt Ford on any subject then are living in a dream word .

Any other club/promotion know one would of batted an eyelid, but I'm afraid shi*t sticks.

That's why 2 of your riders and your promotion were fined - for playing by the rules?? :rolleyes:

Funny how cheats defend cheats, does make me smile.

Maybe we are but we play by the rules and don't pedal bullrubbish.

:lol: obviously not been on many of your own clubs threads much. Horton / Watson are always pedaling bullrubbish with Coventry's own fans on the attack against them all the time.

 

I don't like Poole much like most because of their past but boy have Coventry fans gone waaaaaaaaay over the top over the Dakota situation.

 

We've had you come out with some fantasist "investigation" over the North family which quite frankly, is embarrassing.

 

Seriously, I just don't get why every thread has to end up bitter and twisted and occasionally quite nasty.

 

It really is time to move on and look forward to 2016.

 

Coventry fans, you really have bigger things to worry about. You could be homeless in the very near future and none of us want that. That should really be your main and probably only concern.

 

Good luck with that and hope a huge part of British Speedway's history doesn't disappear.

You are right but by the same token I know who and what I am inclined to believe...................

 

What I meant was don't take at face value every bit of hearsay or allegation made about Poole because unless you are a party to the conversations with those involved you know nothing...............

But you werent party to all the conversations between middlo, ford and north yet you back what 'hearsay' they put out in the press as the gospel...

Whatever the truth or otherwise behind the story , you cannot escape the fact that Ford has a long history of lying and cheating so people are bound to be suspicious.

 

For example who can forget the occasion when Joe Screen rode for Poole and was due to get a new average in his next meeting riding at Swindon. The new average would have meant they couldn't fit Hans Andersen in the side. Lo and behold Joe suddenly gets troubled by an old shoulder injury , is unfit to ride so doesn't get a new average and Hans was shoe-horned in,. All very convenient until it was discovered that the night after Screen was supposedly unfit to ride at Swindon he made a miraculous recovery from the shoulder injury and scored an 18 point maximum in Denmark. Then we had the story about THJ being unfit when he was already on the plane to the USA which had been booked weeks earlier.. So it goes on . No other club has been involved in anything like the ducking and diving that surrounds Poole and Matt Ford.

 

press release from ford about above ...

Words are cheap but I think you have a problem understanding them! You said that you played by the rules and I pointed out that you didn't and then you go off on your crusade about cheats defending cheats!

 

You keep smiling in your alternate world! :rolleyes:

I don't see refusing to send riders out on safety grounds cheating, I'm sure know one wanted another potential Darcy situation, think we've had enough speedway injuries this year. Edited by Game On

You really do have a problem with the English language! I was talking about playing by the rules - you mentioned cheating! :rolleyes:

 

Not sending riders out when the meeting is still being run is not playing by the rules - hence the fines! Sheesh!

If course, we all remember Cov trying to protect Piotr average that made him being re - assessed and used a couple years later by Wolves. Coventry are as guilty as any club. Tho some are more guilty than others.

 

North or Kennett, we were stuffed either way. Meeting was lost at Brandon with only getting a draw. We should have used spare points months ago and replaced Robbo, or even sorted out the JK situation weeks before. Maybe then we might have finished top and given us a better chance. Too happy to sit on our hands for too long!

Well said. Sensible post.

I never said I was a party to them.............and even if I was I would not tell the forum..........what you call hearsay in the press is a damn sight nearer the truth than the crap that you and the other members of the anti Poole brigade have spouted off about..............the only people who know the truth are those involved and in this case there is no reason to believe that Ford et al are not telling the truth..................

 

No cheating involved...........proper certification provided............end of...........

 

And why rake up the past............bet it took you a long time to find that in the Echo archives just to prove what an idiot you are................
