waiheke1 Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Once a fascility has been granted it will not be withdrawn. Would be a nonsense. Exactly. That would be like removing a facility for a long term injured rider simply because he started racing again overseas... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racers and royals Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) It was a couple of years ago. Somerset booked a guest for Morris at Redcar. Swindon was called off and Morris contacted the promotion to say he could ride. Promotion contacted BSPA and were told no as a guest had been booked. I don't know if that's a rule or was just a whim on the night by whoever was on the other end of the phone, but it definitely happened. That was probably during the days when you had more than 1 D/U for each position- bit of a difference to an international no 1 I would suggest.

SomersetBlue Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Worse. Not so much excuse as its a cool overcast evening. Glad I am not standing on the bends or back straight. If they left it dry because of a threat of rain why are they not pushing on? Bowser now out on track. Beg to differ Poole was certainly worse couldn't see the track at points. Racing has been top notch though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 I have known meetings in the past where a d/u rider was allowed to replace a guest at the last min in a later meeting due to earlier meeting being rained off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is definitely good racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Congratulations Somerset Garrity did say at Wolves on Monday that he was struggling with his bikes and needed more chances to test different set ups. Guess he got chance to do a bit of testing tonight 😉 It's called Karma Edited April 14, 2017 by mdmc82 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted April 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) No big deal in the scheme of things. Poole would have got four points with a number one. Shows Pooles strength and why we will be at the top come playoffs. Garrity abject crap. Never in front of a rider. To only lose by four without a number one shows our strength. Well done to Somerset on their win. They can only beat what they have in front of them and did that. Track was horrendously dusty as shown. If it was a day meeting it could be excused but a cool overcast evening? Sone good races mixed in with from the tapes. Big big crowd with hundreds of Poole fans making the two hour trip. And another point. Garrity going through the tapes in heat one meant he had to come out in heat 14 instead of Klindt who had just git a 5-1 from the back passing Wright.

Far from bitter. I take comfort from the fact we would easily have won with a number one. And every other fan knows it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acef Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 The arrogance of your fan base is beyond belief! You sad, sad group of people. If your so called number 1 could be arsed it might have been different. Who knows, maybe the other 6 riders can't get along with kk, perhaps they don't like him? You never know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
