sparkafag Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Woffinden can't be arsed to do a full season, only coming in when it suits his diary, Known to many as “the Rickardsson” Edited August 11, 2016 by The Mockingjay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 It does mean one of Wolves or Poole won't make the PO final. BV will pick Lakeside (or Swindon) now, leaving Wolves and Poole to thrash it out. I said Poole or Wolves would win the league last week bu then BV handed Wolves their backsides on a plate this week but now Wolves have made this change so I'll stick with my Wolves to win the league prediction. Poole could finish top yet if they can improve their away form (or keep racing against depleted teams with no facilities) That's what Starman is doing but he is too thick to work out which way is on or off! 😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agrotron Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I am sure a few bums are twitching with promotors this morning with Tai coming back into the fold at Wolves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game On Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Hancock came in to replace Chris Holder who was smashed up at Coventry. He didn't come in to replace a lesser rider. But he was replacing a lesser rider injured or not 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMER180 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Well this signed turns Wolves into playoff semi finialists to clear favourites over Belle Vue who must be gutted after all the hard work they have done in 2016. To Stick with the same one to seven all season, only to see another club bring a ringer in at the death to take the title away must irk. Pooles chances of reaching the final now have reduced dramically. It's in the rules but is hardly within the spirit of the sport. Personally bringing in ringers for the playoffs like this should be against the rules. Just my opinion. Just like poole brought in hancock a few years back at the back end of the season short memory!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poole keith Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 said a few days ago it was a no brainer,no rules broken so have no problem with it at all.the averages have worked out perfectly it happens in speedway,if lindback had one more meeting at bell vue a few yrs back he would have had a 5pt something average im sure poole would have parachuted him on that figure,for speedway fans up and down the country a great 3 way end of season battle for the title,wolves still will be outgunned at reserve, to beat them teams will have to stay in touch on 1-5 scoring and turnover their reserves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolebolton Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Could see us getting rid of Hans for Magic or Lindback said he would ride for us. Hans or Lindback! Can see Matt doing something now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Does anyone get the feeling that the Poole promotion will have their calculator out today trying to find who they can and cant bring in. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Does anyone get the feeling that the Poole promotion will have their calculator out today trying to find who they can and cant bring in. Probably get Dudek on a 6pt average.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odds On Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 screm, on 11 Aug 2016 - 09:35 AM, said: What have Wolves done that is against the rules, they have made a team change that is within the points limit, and brought in one of their own assets. This has to be good news for Wolves Speedway, and the tracks where Wolves will visit as Tai`s appearance is bound to put an extra few on the gate. Wolves have clearly broken the rules, its plain for all to see, perhaps you are new to the sport?...take a look at the rule book, page 7 second paragraph down, I would copy and paste but not computer savvie.

E I Addio Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Very rare for me to defend the Shovvo but he did say it was just his opinion . Fair enough. It's a situation where there is no absolute right or wrong and it is reasonable to have differing opinions. No rules have been broken, and Wolves are entitled to bring Woofy in, but somehow it doesn't sit right with me that a rider (any rider) who says at the start of the season he doesn't want to ride in GB decides at the time the continental season is starting to wind down that maybe he wouldn't mind some extra money at the expense of a rider who has stuck with it all season. As Steve said, it's not quite the same as replacing the injured Holder. Just my opinion as well. The only other thing that occurs to me though, is that Kylmakorpi is a known moaner when things don't go his way so maybe one of the factors in the equation was that Adams didn't want someone moaning about the track or anything else in must win matches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 It's not ratified yet, a lot of talk that with 2 years out his average should be re-assessed. They haven't broken any rules but I wonder if a change mid season much like the season when the number of play-off teams got reduced will occur. Personally it will be good to see Tai racing although I wish they had introduced a squad system years ago. I would also have a draft system for the top 10 or so riders so every team gets a real number 1. I still think the Aces will win the league with Wolves as the other finalists. Think Poole and Swindon will make the play offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry_Bee Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) I think its good he is back, harsh on JK but his form isn't great and it does make sense. I don't think though that just because he is back that's it all over and its Wolves title ! Last time he rode over here he wasn't great and he is doing it to keep race fit, not put himself in silly positions where he is going to get injured while going for the world title. I still think rider for rider Belle Vue are the team to beat. Edited August 11, 2016 by Coventry_Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 But he was replacing a lesser rider injured or not Holder was in his prime when the Coventry airfence failed to do its job. Just like poole brought in hancock a few years back at the back end of the season short memory!!!!!!! Are you Gavan in disguise? Haven't you read earlier posts? Hancock replaced a badly injured Holder. Very rare for me to defend the Shovvo but he did say it was just his opinion . Fair enough.

I did say it was my opinion. Sure it is inside the rules. But it still stinks the place out. He said he didn't want to ride here, but then comes into the Wolves team and the move basically decides the outcome of 2016. As he hasn't ridden here for 2 years he should be re assessed to an 8, which all GP riders come in on. His old average should be junked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Poole do the same a few years ago when they waited for Miedzinski to get a high average then replaced him with KK?

KEITH M Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Holder was in his prime when the Coventry airfence failed to do its job. And Woffinden is in his prime when Kylmakorpi failed to do his job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 How about ditching Watt for Bjarne?Just before the playoffs? And Bjarne is hardly Woffinden. You will have to do better than that. Anyway said what I think. Off to watch some speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
