Jacques Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 It's absolutely brilliant! A great move by Wolves! I can't stop laughing actually, I bloody love it! Can't wait t what Starry has to say 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Is it me or is it only Poole fans that are bitter about this.No, I'm fine with it. Harsh on JK, but it was harsh on Watt when we dropped him. If you want to win sometimes you have to make decisions like this. If Matt wants to counteract it, then he needs to convince Dudek to come over. Edited August 11, 2016 by lisa-colette 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 What's wrong is that he signed for wolves not Poole... This :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouch Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Well BV shouldn't have turned him down then. If we had said yes the BSPA would have definitely reassessed Tai's average to block the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Great signing for Wolves and Iam looking forward to seeing him ride, shame they haven't got to come to Lakeside again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy robin Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Tai is back because both of his Swedish & Polish teams won't qualify for the play offs in that country. This then became a no brainer for Wolves & works for them & Tai. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum 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. cough cough Hancock, Pedersen, THJ. I totally agree with you, I want to see Tai committing to our league but not like this, how unfair on Kylmakorpi .... perhaps. However if you read his tweets he seems to understand the reason and even goes as far as saying he hopes he is back next season. 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. no rule broken. Perhaps you are new to speedway? I do agree that maybe his average should have been reassessed as he hasn't ridden here for 2 years and has improved a lot in that time Comedy post of the day.:rofl: The 2014 World Champion Wolf has really improved since then. I really need a lie down after the bellyaches I've seen this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damosuzuki Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 At the end of the day they will change the rules for next year if they think appropriate, but from a neutral point of view this certainly makes the playoffs an attractive proposition. Probably a good thing after the complete **** they have made of the EL this season. Really really looking forward to the Playoffs now. Chris Holder, Tai, NKI, Zagar, KK etc etc... I'm excited about it. We all know Poole's side will be subject to change right up to the end anyway and guests will be used for anyone who's underperforming. Nothing against Poole, but Matt Ford taking the huff is always good entertainment. RE: Dudek - aren't Falubaz still involved? He's certainly quality.

That's because it would make them hypocrites if they did and as for Shovvy, he's just being Shovvy, winding people up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Beevers Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I think it is a great and a major coup for British League Speedway to see Britain's best rider compete again and hopefully we will see more fans at stadiums up and down the country.

SCB 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. HE rode here in 2014, he didn't ride here in 2015, it's not 2016 and he'll ride here. Thats One season out, not two. Also the rules state is a rider is out 3 seasons his club MAY apply for a re-assessment. Try again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 For me no rules broken. No Problem. Would Matt Ford in the same situation have done the same for Poole? Of course he would the mans a winner and loves to win. Looks like the Wolves have play a blinder just at the right time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
