Game On Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Let's see what they engrave on the trophy then. Well that's easy= Cheats 2015. Seriously though congratulations to both teams, was the best final since 2010. Well done Poole speedway on your win.

TonyE Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Given what transpired yesterday evening, it goes without saying that the 'appeal' will NOT result in two points being deducted. The possibility of Newman overtaking at least one of the opposition will be cited as the reason for not deducting any points. As others have said, this could, and should have been put to bed prior to the 2nd leg and the fact that it wasn't has tainted an otherwise enthralling final.

BWitcher Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Really ? More like more complaints about BV being cheated, calls a for a rerun, more damage to the sport, less people going now, future is bleak, cheating Poole, don't know what they are doing, etc, etc. Congrats again to Poole for being worthy winners, and to BV for being very worthy in defeat. A great fillip for them to use in advertising for the new stadium. Yes really. Of course a few would have continued to moan and complain but the MAJORITY wouldn't. The issue would have been dealt with in a professional manner. This way, it hasn't been dealt with at all so damage has been done. It really is just basic PR. Communication is key! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Lady Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I agree totally the SCB have cocked this up by not doing anything before the 2nd leg. My only query is that can they really deduct 2 points if, had the correct procedure been followed, kyle would have been in the rerun, albeit with a handicap. It's a difficult one, but I really can't see a deduction. Maybe a fine for Kyle and a change to the rulebook? I've been vociferous about gogglegate and your first sentence says what I think, it's a total cock up and ignores the fans as usual, I've never blamed Newman or Poole. They probably will fine Newman, it is after all in the rule book and it should remain so. It is after all a safety issue first and foremost and it's hypercritical for some fans to bang on about making the sport safer but to then say this rule should be ignored.(that's not aimed at you Rob BTW). That's my lot on the googlegate issue cos I also believe matches should be won on the track not off it. As I said last night Congratulations to Poole, for once I have no issues with the way they have won this season and they fully deserved it both over the season and in the 2 legs of the final. Well done to Belle Vue also, worthy finalists and runners up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Don't think it would have been a run off anyway. Poole riders weren't even trying in heat 15! Nobody knows what would have happened .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I hear there is a position for a jobsworth traffic warden near you - you should go for it you are perfect for the job! You're happy with the sport being run in an unprofessional manner, happy with the ever declining crowds in the sport... I'm not. A simple thing like communication can solve many of the sports woes. The Grand Final showed just how great this sport can be, so why oh why do the powers that be go out of their way to try and ruin it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Am I correct in seeing there was a new trophy last night. The previous league championship trophy was like a plastic cup. https://instagram.com/p/8RV_8eROIbxKCourro2qobBRaOM7Auh-WYe5Y0/ Yeah was mentioned, this one looks great, very fitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 poor thing. It must be awful to realise that the sycophants were right all along. Seems fair, don't know why Coventry felt they had a right to appeal the Poole league result. Result was called on the night. Still a little surprised that the 1st leg wasn't amended due to gogglegate and what a finale that would have been. Surprised no one has mentioned the out of form North in the final? 13 points over 2 legs proved Poole gained nothing by using Kennett. A Stevebrum classic.. doesn't even remember what he says in the same post. States that it seems fair as result was called on the night... then next minute he's surprised the 1st leg wasn't amended! As for North.. he scored 13pts in 9 rides.. Kennet scored 9 in 4.. so back to the drawing board with that claim too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Think we lost it when Sky showed you kissing Mark's "lucky" £20 note!!! Haha yes. Heard I was seen doing that. Actually I had a million tweets and Facebook notifications saying how much my ugly mug was on TV and telling me to cheer up. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirates Of Poole Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Did speak to a few blokes that got off the coach and walked down the George for a quick pint, very polite and a credit to BV speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) No, the BV appeal will do that (change things) if the SCB have any back bone! Can you not see the SCB messed up by not making a decision before last night? Wow what a night - and morning!!!!!! Correct me if I'm wrong but nowhere in BV's statement does the word 'appeal' appear. They have merely written to the SCB. Others have explained the official Appeals procedure, so lets move on. Anyway back to last night. A good win by the Pirates and a great display by the Aces. Some great banter with the Aces fans who really joined in with the 'Darcy Ward Darcy Ward' chanting as witnessed on TV. Great stuff. Some good words at the end and a couple of great interviews by Matt Ford - one on Sky and one to the crowd, which just started the Darcy chant again. Highly emotional!! Best wishes to Dak's dad who as Dak explained is likely to still be in hospital for another 3 weeks at least - so not likely a simple hand injury!!!! Finally a super atmosphere, great crowd and a terrific advert for speedway. (ps. Just a shame there was so much chit-chat about 'fuel additives in the away pits'!! Can't think who or what they meant?!! Apparantly similar comments at Somerset on Tuesday too!!) On to Darcy's meeting next week and a chance to see the return of Greg and Shamek and the first appearance of Mr Dudek!! No doubt all part of Matt Ford's 're-building for 2016'. #4forDarcyin2016 Edited October 1, 2015 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BWitcher Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 ...and I was there and heard it first hand!!!!! One thing confuses me, why would they be discussing it in the 'away pits'? Surely they'd be quiet about it and it's the other team that would be discussing/suggesting things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
