Daniel Smith Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 I'm sure 'GoggleGate' will go into overdrive but everyone has to remember that it isn't Poole's problem or fault. The meeting referee is the problem Congratulations to the Pirates but boy did those Aces make you sweat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedwayfun Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Oh we are so bitter. I thought that many of you had given up by heat 8 on monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytsejam Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Exactly. We should be looking at Golden heats now if the Ref/SCB had done the job. Well done Belle Vue. Gave 100% over both legs Best I have ever seen Craig Cook RUBBISH!.............................but not in the way you think I mean it!!...IF people actually thought about things rather than just follow the others like sheep, you'd realise that IF Newman had been disqualified from that heat on Monday (rightly or wrongly), then Poole would have had 2 less points and Belle Vue 2 MORE, so it WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN A GOLDEN HEAT at all!!!..........I wish people would actually think before they post!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Well that 5-1 is not what the SCB wanted is it?! Just a timely statement would have done, either way. What is it with the governing bodies of this sport? Edited September 30, 2015 by Wolfsbane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionheart Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Very, very interesting. Poole win on aggregate by 2 points. Were they the SAME 2 points that should be deleted from the Pirates for Gogglegate at Kirky Lane ? This will rumble on for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) That little bit of experience in the grand final paid off for Poole. Belle Vue put up a really good fight, but the opening few heats on Monday ultimately came back and bit them. But they can look to what is hopefully a good future at their new stadium. Well done to Poole. They had to guard against complacency and got over the line. Interesting to read about the booing from Belle Vue fans. Dont think there's anything wrong with a bit of pantomime booing as it aids the atmosphere. I've been at Wolves Cradley matches where there's been bloody fighting, never mind booing. And that was just the women Edited September 30, 2015 by Wolfsbane 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you're wrong actually mate. BV wouldn't have been given the points as I understand it the first leg would also have finished 46-44. You can't be given points you haven't earned. That's just my understanding but perhaps I'm mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course everything else would have been different from that point on as well. The reality is the SCB have been utterly inept in this matter, were desperately hoping for a result that meant it was irrelevant and have now been left with egg on their face.

hyderd Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 What happened at Kirky Lane on Monday night is history. Tonight Poole once again showed they are the team of the present. My team gave all Aces fans a fab season and showed us all that we are the team of the future. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupy Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Poole where champions by heat 14 so they would have to re run heat 15 as they took the foot of the gas if you believe in googlegate, Read the paper tomorrow 92- 90 it will be in black& white. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I was , as the BEST Poole could have got from that heat would have been 3 - 3 and therefore 2 less points for them and 2 more for Belle Vue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grachan Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Well I'm sure the goggles discussion will be seen as the biggest controversy in speedway since Carter v Penhall by the select few on here, but seriously. Think about it. People believe Poole are not true champion because in one ride they got a 5-1 with one rider not wearing goggles. It's ridiculous, but I'm sure you'll enjoy the discussions! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Science Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Ah how nice Champagne and fireworks . Hang your head in shame Matt Ford.! If Poole fans ever wonder why their team and promotion are disliked them then tonight's after meeting antics sum it up. Champagne and fireworks all round as long as we win.If we don't win then stuff your champagne and fireworks,its cancelled Charmless winners Graceless losers Edited September 30, 2015 by New Science 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
