Rubbish. Kings Lynn need to look elsewhere for the good of the sport. They were too late. Unfortunate but r/r or Bellego/Thorsell, Tungate/S Worrall the choice is out there.

Mr Ford has never considered the good of the sport so this is all a little bit rich in all honesty. And considering the number of stunts pulled by Poole over the years Mr Middleditch would do well to keep his gob firmly shut rather than spouting off. Rule bending has suited him fine over the years and he’s never made a peep.

All that said double R/R would be the perfect solution and one I would applaude.

Yes - and no one has ridden yet!  Ellis will ride for KL first!  The simple and best solution is for Morris to ride both legs for KL and Ellis to ride both for Poole - it makes sense!

My guess, and it might be just how my mind works :blink:. Is that Poole may of been  asked about Morris for Lynn and Ellis for Poole over the 2 legs in the interest of the sport, and Ford might of said no, in the interest of Poole. Perfectly legal.

So in the interest of Lynn Buster might using which ever rider is available on the nights when Poole don't want them. Perfectly legal it seems. Although not ideal.

Now we get Poole fans talking about "In the interest of the sport". 

No rules have been broken. But I hope something can be sorted out.

Will add more "fire to" the final if it does happen though.

Anyway is there any Poole fan who isn't too mad at the moment tell me how far the travelodge on Holes Bay Road is from the stadium please.

Other side of the huge roundabout isn't it? Though there are roadworks starting tomorrow on Hunger Hill.

Doesn’t add any fire at all. Its like a bucket of water has been thrown over it. 

You only quoted a 1 line of my post.. Any thoughts on the rest.. If Ford was asked about using 1 rider each for boths legs in the interest of the sport. And if Ford had  said  no. Do you think that's unsporting SS?.

The rules should say no. If a rider is booked to take place in the final, that ride should automatically be unavailable to the other team. Simple as that. 

If the injuries had been reversed, and we had lost a rider today, I would think it abhorent to use a rider who is riding for the opposition in the other leg.

I am most certainly not the only one who thinks this. Facebook and twitter is also in meltdown in the speedway world.

I think Poole would do anything within the rules to win, and would do the same if it benifited them.. How dare Lynn do it once !!. You can't blame Lynn if its legal.

You  seem dodge questions you don't like. The rules should say, but they don't.

No they don’t as I said earlier. For some unfathomable reason they are there at 18.2.4 but there’s an element of confusion.

A decent promotion wouldn’t have caused this sorry mess. Be honest. Kings Lynn promotion have caused this. I understand you want to defend your promotion but this is undefendable to be honest.

The tenure of Mr Chapman as the chairman of the BSPA has been nothing short of disastrous. It appears he now wants to cap the worst period of British Speedway governance with a league title win for his own club. What a fitting end it would be if his stadium was devoid of supporters and, he lost a bucket load of cash. He could watch his miserable firework display all on his own!!!
