With 2 new co promoters and signings to come. Surely something in the next week. Usually Wednesday or Thursday with lack of Cheeries coverage on those days. Might be another Ford on the promoters list!!!! Could be the start of a handover that would allow the “old man” to move off into new pastures whilst still keeping a “hand on the tiller”!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 I feel for Adam Ellis in all of this. All set to be part of Poole's Play-Off Final then gets scuppered by King's Lynn having a hissy fit. Could of had the luxury of a trip to Abu Dhabi at the F1, now nothing. He's who I feel for out of all this, kind of rubbing his nose in it when the whole situation wasn't his fault imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole booked Morris at home and Eliis away, so Lynn booked Eliis at Poole away would of had Morris at home... Poole went nuts as the complained , despite it being perfectly legal at the time. That's what started all this off.. Lynn did nothing wrong. Everything was within the rules at the time that Poole had the "hissy fit".

As you say maybe a deal has been done as it seems ridiculous to take another teams rider on a jolly up when there are riders more deserving............................maybe its because he is an Aussie Maybe its more about looking forward than looking back?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should read your own Dale Allitt's comments as to what happened and who instigated it. Lynn did nothing wrong just something a bit stupid!!

I’m also not sure Poole, or anyone else for that matter, will find Harris too attractive on 7.78. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve said Kings Lynn mainly to blame.....doesn’t make it right as the governing body should have not allowed Morris to ride...... all done and dusted and Poole won the league because of other teams injuries misfortune and then using a rider that should never have been allowed to ride......let’s hope next season we have worthy champions not just lucky ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur54 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Well the playoffs were now over a month ago and were still going on about this crap, Morris for Poole Ellis for Kings Lynn 1st leg, then Morris for Kings Lynn and Ellis for Poole 2nd leg was complete nonsense, and common sense prevailed, and while were still dwelling on the past. Poole Volvo Pirates 2018 champions, still sounds good, roll on 2019 that's have more of the same 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Connor Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Did it? Amending the rule so an illegible rider could ride for a team.? What ever the reason. It was good in terms of non farcical. But it was bad because it was yet another thing to go against lynn. At the end of the day rr and a number 8 would have been the least farcical and most integral thing. No rules needed to be amended for that. It’s history but it’s still sour. As was the toft injury and exclusion. It was a great season and everything but I’m left feeling like an Irishman has tarmacked my driveway at a “good price”. I hope that common sense prevails in future and the rr option is taken/forced 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should read your own Dale Allitt's comments as to what happened and who instigated it. Lynn did nothing wrong just something a bit stupid!! Nothing wrong.. Thanks.. Stupid... it was a final, Lynn's first chance to the title, NKI got injured, I think it was the night before and it was within the rules. Poole would of done the same !! You will never convince me that Ford would do anything in a final to benefit the other team. Poole where 1 rider down. About a week later, in the cup Somerset where 4 riders down and used Wright at home in leg one, but couldn't use him in leg 2 at the AFA because he was just over, and it was just. Do you think it was fair to allow Poole to do it with 1 rider out and not Somerset with 4 ? How is that fair? I don't think I read one person moaning about the way Somerset beat Lynn over 2 legs in the cup either. I wonder why. I'm not saying it was anyone's fault other that the powers that be. A rule is should be the same for all. If you going play ground stuff, Poole pulled the 1st hissy fit after Lynn booked Ellis, which was legal . Anything after that was avoidable if that was allowed, as stated in the rulebook. And before you say that Morris average fitted at the time, and they hadn't amended the averages, that's not the case at all. They fit now, but not at the time. And i'm not bringing it all up again. I was just replying to Lynn supporter Daniel Smith's post That's about it. On to 2019. And Buster is coming for you Edited November 25, 2018 by Bald Bloke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
