chris4gillian Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Again folks - show the rule and what Poole have done to break, bend or manipulate it.. Facts then not biased opinions. I think it's time we let the children continue to play and create their fantasies alone as I can't be bothered with this topic any longer. We've both made things as clear as they can be numerous times but yet some just won't accept them due to their dislike of Poole and Matt Ford. Sad really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E I Addio Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) So Poole Speedway choose to use the phrase 'compassionate grounds' in a press release, yet some on here are still insisting that doctor/patient confidentiality should be breached just to satisfy a few deluded forum users!!! Yet again my mind goes back to that Echo headline in June - "YOU LOST, GET OVER IT!" No. Once again you are reading something that isn't there. Doctor / patient cnfidentiality is not the issue . Even if a doctors certificate were produced it makes no difference the ithe bone of contention here. We all know how little doctors certificates mean in Speedwáy and we have all seen occasions for example when a rider rides in Poland on Sunday, then has a doctors certificate to say he is unfit to ride In GB on Monday then remarkably becomes fit to ride in Sweden on Tuaesday. We have all seen many variarions on the same theme, not just for Poole but various other clubs so most fans take a doctors certificate with a massive pinch of salt. Thes basic facts that are relevant to the discussion are these : 1. North appears to be in a run of poor form. For example when he came to Lakeside in Msy he finished in two races and won them both. When he came at the end of Augusr he had three rides , all he beat was a PL reserve and an N L rider, then refused to come out for his last ride. 2.At Coventry in the Semi he fails to score. The Speedwáy updates site reports that he was involved with one races with Lindgren described as "top drawer Speedwáy" . Not what you would expect from an rider whose head is in the wrong place but we are told its due to an accident to his father. 3. Not disputed that Mr North senior had a serious accident ant if Dak received the news that day or the night before it might be on his mind , and quite possibly affected his racing. 4. The issue really arises because of Matt Fords past reputation. Hardly anybody outside of Poole and some from Poole would dispute the fact Ford is more than capable of moanipulating the situation to his advantage if it suited him. we don't know what the injury to Daks father was so we really don't know whether the compassionate leave was genuine or just a ploy to get an in form replacement in. The Joe Screen episode in 2009 is a classic example of this's. 5 Nobody is demanding doctors notes but it is very strange that we are fed the line that it was a 12 hour operation but no details of the injury. Far better that no details at all should be given.... The real root of the problem is Fords past behaviour. People now regard his every move as suspicious, . Whatever you say or however you twist it blue tint brigade will take one view, others will take another view. Calling people Poole haters and other names is not going to change anything. Very few fans hate Poole or any other club, but most fans who have concerns about falling attendance and the future of the sport can see the damage that this sort of cloak and dagger stuff does. I can't put it any more succinctly than that.. We will have to agree to disagree but don't blind yourself to the damage these things do to the sport.

Alan_Jones Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 And who listens to anything he says! Person to ask is Dak obviously. Hardly. From this week's Speedway Star; The rider admits he has been given little information about Rod's condition. He said : "My dad is still in hospital. He probably has another two or three weeks there. He has had a few operations, but he's recovering, so that's a good thing. I'm not too sure what happened. I haven't been told. He just had an accident at work with some machinery. They haven't been able to keep me in the loop much - I'm so far away and it's kind of hard. But, he's on the mend, so that's the main thing."

Seems amazing that in this day and age with the internet, Iphones, emails, texts etc., a son can't be kept in the loop. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To claim that he is so far away that they haven't been able to keep him in the loop is just ridiculous! Somebody needs to tell him about telephones, e-mail, Twitter, Facebook etc etc Is somebody going to look into this....it stinks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve0 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Awful for Dakota that his family don't even let him know what the situation is. Ok Mr traffic warden - what rules were broken? Why do you keep going on about it - it's history - you know nothing for sure (and why should you?) but you still can't accept it. Well get this - it doesn't matter if you don't accept it because the speedway authorities did. Do us all a favour and stop moaning about it and gogglegate because it's frankly boring now - shoulda, woulda, coulda - it's history and as the song goes "Let it go..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kester Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Awful for Dakota that his family don't even let him know what the situation is. A truly heartless bunch. Unless of course they're some sort of Amish folk, in which case the lack of technology may be understandable. What isn't understandable is why they'd tell him his dad was injured, but not exactly how or by how much - maybe they're making North play some sort of guessing game, a kind of injury related Cleudo - 'Was it his hand in the threshing machine in a barn?' etc etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do we have to "let it go....." There is something very fishy here. How come one week he is so upset about his dad's accident he is not fit to race and the next he admits that he doesn't know what happened and doesn't really know his condition. Claiming that as he is a long way from home so he is not kept in the loop.....which is just ridiculous! If his father is seriously injured in Australia and Dakota is struggling to cope that is one thing, to be quoted later as not even knowing what the accident was or how is dad is doing is just taking us all as fools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) You'd think if Dakota was struggling to cope to the point he needed time off work then his family would ring him (even if it meant getting up early, or going to bed late due to time difference) to be able to put his mind at rest. I can't believe how bloody horrible his family have been to him. Poor lad. Find out his dad his injured is bad enough but to find out his family just don't care about him enough to keep him informed, that'd mess with my head too.

SteveLyric2 Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 (edited) What has also been said is that Dak was told by his father/family to stay til the end of the season - do Darcy's meeting and fly back the next day, which is exactly what he's doing!! His father will still be hospitalised when he gets back to Oz, having had more than just one (12 hour)operation since the accident!! Unless the injury was 'life-threatening' which we know it wasn't thank goodness, merely life changing, having been told to stay. clear his head and then continue with his job, why would the family keep updating him after every hospital development, especially as he will still be in hospital when Dak gets back. FFS people give it a rest. Edited October 2, 2015 by Skidder1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
