Just because what I said was accurate and factual is nothing to do with being better than anybody. Just correct on this occasion. Take it like an adult and if nothing else apologise for the insult. Yeah fair enough. Sorry for the name calling. No need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt's already said how much the club loses when attendance is low. I actually do agree that Poole will choose Ippo if they get the choice but what a financial disappointment if neither Poole nor Swindon get through!!

He has been very poor and I don’t want to see his return with the form he was showing. Let’s have guests that are horses for courses. It will give us a better chance and we can all laugh as the faux outraged Gavan pretends blows a fuse. I guess Fraud rubs off on some Poole fans. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see us winning even if Wells and THJ both replaced by guests, might be closer but Wolves have by miles the best reserves and both going frighteningly well at the moment and that is why they will win the title. That is why we need to come top. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 I’d never write Poole off in Play Offs however out of form or weak they may look, they nearly always raise their game when it matters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why we need to come top. I think we will do ok! It’s going to be tough, Swindon & Wolves are coming into great form at the right time, but if we all click on the night anything is possible. This year has been interesting, with Matt’s interests elsewhere and Danny’s maiden year I think he has taken his eye off the ball when it comes to riders available. I know for a fact that our riders have approached Matt with recommendations for possible replacements for Ritchie. Some we’re blocked because of Poland and others not considered. Wells isn’t a rider Poole would normally go for, money comes into play I know but don’t think THJ comes cheap even though he was riding at Berwick too!! For me he was a risk and at present a risk that isn’t paying off, he simply isn’t the rider he was. I think we have been spoilt over the years with riders, and when the eye is taken off the prize at times it shows up much more! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Money or lack of it due to less sponsors (for a variety of reasons)is the main cause. We didn't get THJ until he'd already committed to Berwick even though he's a Poole asset. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why we need to come top. It makes a change to go into the playoffs rated 3rd out of the 4 teams. I think the only way we can make the final is to finish top. If we meet Swindon or Wolves in the semi final our season is likely to end there. We can’t compete with Wolves strength at reserve. Both ride like heat leaders around Wimborne Road. They would probably win both legs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyabb17 Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Why would Poole have replacements for Wells & THJ when Wells completed 4 ride max on Friday (even tho he needed a week off) & THJ rode yesterday?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty said we are cheating cos he wasn't gonna ride anymore, but he is going to ride. So everyone should apologise for these ridiculous accusations! Simply outrageous. Strangely they have gone quiet now, wonder why? Lets get this straight Shovlar came on here and told anyone who wanted to listen that Wells will stand down You roped in better riders (horses for courses) away at Lynn that was abandoned and then home to Lynn Forget about this Monday..........if Wells doesnt ride in the play off matches then its blatant cheating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole pick Swindon in the semi finals....and lose........one home meeting with a bumper crowd Poole do what they should do and pick Ipswich............one home meeting and unless they choke then they will have a final home leg as well Are Poole fans that fickle that if they beat Ipswich that if its Wolves in the final that they wont go? Surely a bumper crowd in the final doesnt matter who the opposition is? If whoever finishes top doesnt pick Ipswich then the sport has died as a competition and sadly is only about making money Poole have won twice at Ipswich..Swindon won easily at ours once and battered us at their place..............why would either not pick Ipswich! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
