Steve Shovlar Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 The situation has been solved. The SCB rules have been ammended so that the 5% above rule is now available home and AWAY. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Poole were backed into a corner by KL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure he didn’t mean it and he wasn’t riding dirty but he has knocked one of our key riders off and injured him. An accident but his fault, compounded by the referee getting it horrendously wrong. I think the reason Poole fans are generally despised is that very few of them have enough about them to say ‘yep we got away with one there’ and win with a bit of grace. Instead let’s sling a bit of mud the other way and see if it sticks as a distraction. Very sad. Ummm excuse me but then talking to one of your fellow KL fans on twitter earlier and after I watched the replay today the angle from behind looked 50/50 and the front angle looked like he hit his leg.

Phil The Ace Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 While i agree that the new guest rule installed for then play off final is common sense and in the best interest of the sport. Then we should have been allowed to replace bewley in the best interest of the sport so we diddnt have a 1 sided semi final 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a big occasion and with all due respect to Adam you would want an experienced GP rider in your team even if he doesn’t like the track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To replace them, both clubs use similar quality riders from other clubs. Done. I posted this earlier, but not no response. Any thoughts Poole fans ? We could have Bellego as his average is near enough..... Lynn can have 5.93 with the 5%.. Bellego is only 6.07... That's less of a gap than Kurtz/ Morris at Lynn...…… Which is 6.75 v 6.91 !!! I'm sure Ford will return the favour and agree to it in the interest of the sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense would be both teams running with RR.. It is a Grand Final of the showpiece domestic competition in Britain, and has two riders who are team mates from a team that had competed in the same competition but were not good enough to reach the Final, and has them both now riding in direct opposition to each other... Which is a farce any way up anyone tries to dress it... But granted marginally better than the alternative plan (which must have been rendered initially perfectly acceptable by the MC don't forget to get it announced).. As fans when we tolerate such nonsense we really do get the sport we deserve... Which is exactly the reason we have what we have today... Decades of colluding with Promoters and pretending 'this is real' has led a phenomenally exciting sport to become nothing more than a Mickey Mouse minority sport which deservedly, at British Team Speedway level, gets about as much mainstream media coverage and respect as 'synchronised bog snorkelling' or 'clay pigeon shooting for the blind' would.. Having a ridiculously sh1te idea (but a bit less ridiculously sh1te than the one they thought of before). Is truly no measure of success...

I don’t understand this ‘helping Lynn’ thing. Leaving out whether people agree with it or not for a moment we chose a guest in accordance with the rules and then a solution was found with everyone in agreement which meant you guys get somebody whose average is too high so you are hardly being disadvantaged. If people have a problem with the situation then all three parties need to be blamed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bald Bloke Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Just now, lisa-colette said: After just helping KL and getting called cheats why should we help them any more? How did you help Lynn.. Lynn was happy to use Adam at Poole and Morris at home. It was perfectly legal, and the averages fit. Instead we got Adam Ellis for both. Allowing the rules to be wavered so Poole can use a rider that's average is to high. Poole gain, when Lynn could fit Nick in both legs and Poole Adam, all within the current rules, that had been in place for years !! Not slating Adam at all, i'd like him at Lynn, but do me a favour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
