Arthur54 Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 2 hours ago, Gavan said: Oh well thats the final done and dusted Nick Morris goes better at Poole than Ellis in the main as 14 points from number one shows on a visit there earlier in the season and he certainly goes better than Ellis at Lynn, Poole have benefitted from being able to use Morris at Kings Lynn thats pretty obvious. Kurtz 6.75.............replaced by Morris 6.74 Iversen 7.36...........replaced by Ellis 6.47 That shows the advantage Poole have but they can only beat whats in front of them Hope Kings Lynn can overcome the loss and at least make a spectacle of the final Plus don't forget Gavan, Morris is better than Kurtz hahahahaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A governing body, yet again waving rules. It may be a sensible thing to do, but rules should be adhered too.. the sport will never learn.

Grachan Posted October 8, 2018 Report Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) 4 minutes ago, BWitcher said: What both teams agree too is completely and utterly irrelevant. This is meant to be a professional sport, not a Sunday morning game of football.. actually scrap that, illegal players wouldn't be allowed in any form of competitive game either even if 'both teams agreed'. Reading the statement on the BSPA website, the rules have been amended slightly to allow this (presumably with regard to the 5% only applying at home). Consequently, Poole's side is not illegal in the away leg anyway. It is within the rules and has been approved by the BSPA and the SCB. So... happy, no problem.

A better and more sensible solution would have been to have told Lynn they can’t use either rider as both had a deal with Poole. Use r/r or another guest. Fair and sensible. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where Steves comment does have some credence is in that the rewritten regs shouldve had the caveat re the guest situation that was written into the cup section also added to the play off section With some forethought the whole situation would not have arisen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes thats right The 'common sense' that now heavily swings the tie in Pooles favour using Swindons number one , where Lynn have to replace their number two and gp rider with Swindons 4th best rider Win at all cost Pirates ........all in the best interests of the sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn are now 4/5 and Poole 7/5. Lynn still favourites though and rightly so. So Lynn are 5/4 on then! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And your point is? Means they are both of similar standard Ellis isnt as good as Iversen, as the averages clearly show.............meaning Lynn are weaker...........even more so now that the rules have been changed to help Poole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
