No rule in place to stop it happening. Said a lot more not for this forum! Yet the same Promoters will spend all season using Mickey Mouse rules and see nothing wrong with them.. And fans will spend all season colluding with them, pretending what they are watching has some semblance to a bona fide national sports championship... And pay circa 20 quid each for the privilege each time they attend... The fans therefore 100% get the sport they deserve.. No point complaining now.. On the plus side, the Sport (in Britain) has no credibilty left so hasn't lost any by its latest self inficted nonsense... Incredible in what should be a huge positive week for the sport with Tai's win will end up being a huge embarrassment...

Gavan Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 So can someone please tell me what King’s Lynn have done wrong? Should they go into the biggest 2 meetings with r/r and hand the league to Poole?? The majority of Poole fans having a go at Lynn is laughable all the rule bending and stunts pulled over the years and now King’s Lynn have broke NO rules at all and the Poole fans think that Ellis shouldn’t ride in the best interest of the sport!!! You have to laugh at the double standards of the fools on the south coast. I’m sure if it was the other way round not one Poole fan would moan about the sports credibility. How many riders are available to Kings Lynn for tomorrow??? Hardly any. So the Kings Lynn promotion should ‘ in the interests of the sport’ not book the best guest available lol Poole has it easy in the semis against a weakened Somerset and have now seen a gp rider replaced by a third heat leader and they panicking. I love the mob from the south coast with the party lines all set up now...... we won despite Kings Lynn using Ellis / we lost because Kings Lynn used Ellis....... just delete as appropriate. Poole fans thinking Kings Lynn should just hand the trophy to them! Kurtz injured first .....Poole can get best guest available Iversen injured........how dare Kings Lynn get the next best guest!!

noggin Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Should have allowed Somerset and Belle Vue riders available too, now they're out of the play offs, nearly every po final is ruined by Injuries, to keep the little credibility left in the sport RR for both teams would be sensible, perhaps in the future a Mickey Mouse toy should be the prize.

Daniel Smith Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 I'm quite sure Poole will be happy with Ellis score for Lynn as I'm sure Ford will see him well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Now I have got used to the idea, think it will be okay. They score similar for both teams and Poole and Lynn riders can decide it. Hopefully. I love how everyone apart from Gavan can see the problem with what is happening! Lol. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're obviously not a Speedway fan as you can clearly see that everyone else on this forum is united as one no matter which team we all support because we all care about the sport we all love. You're nothing but a troll who deliberately posts to antagonize a reaction from other forum members. Exactly. Go on Twitter BV fans think it's bad, Coventry fans think it's bad, even Wolves fans.

mikebv Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) To save some credibilty could someone quickly knock up some 'half n half' kevlars for Adam to use..? Kings Lynn Pirates/Poole Stars special Green/Blue, Yellow/White ones? That way he will score exactly the same for both teams in every race he has... We would also obviously need some 'half n half' helmet covers too for when he comes out in Red/White, Blue/Yellow, Red/Yellow, Blue/White... Thank God there isn't a Black and White anymore... That would be quite ridiculous wouldn't it...? Edited October 7, 2018 by mikebv 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a fit for purpose RR system would lessen the blow... Two rides for Lambert and two rides for the next rider below NKI in the averages.. Poole could do the same with Kurtz. Two rides for the rider above him and two for the one below.. You could even split it for home and away meetings Eg Kurtz is No1 in the averages at home so all riders below him could take two rides up to a max of seven each.. When away as the number three in the away averages the rider above him two and the one below him two. (Harris and Grajczoneck).. Still, no point in trying to bring in credibility, that would never do.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He could have said, “sorry, already booked by Poole. It would look bad to turn up for both teams in the final. Have to pass I am afraid”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPD444 Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 All the reports I have heard this year is of the viewing numbers have increased with a really competitive GP series, some excellent racing from the NSS and now, at the showpiece meetings of the UK calendar, poor old Natalie, Nigel and Kelv ( MBE ) will have to explain how a rider can ride for both teams but not be a rider for either. Come on BBC/Sky how can you not signup a multi million pound a year contract with BSPA with Buster in charge. Are they blind to how ridiculous this makes their management of the sport is.

stevehone Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 i'm sure Adam is professional enough to give his all in both meetings, and fair play to him, he's self employed. a good rider on both tracks, so expecting good points from him in both meetings. if anything needs blaming it's certainly not Adam, it's the rules 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Maybe the best thing is to declare the play-offs null and avoid and just go with the League finishing order. Or is it just about the money !!!! Don’t bother answering that. Pleassse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
