The choice of Bomber as guest does speedway no credibility, not a good move! How can speedway ever be treated with any respect with the media & others outside our own little world. The people that control our "sport" must look @ the bigger picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g13webb Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Employing guests to cover for injured riders should be the way to go, but they need to be of a reliable nature, not someone like Ellis who clearly had other intentions. Had we used R/R in the second leg, after his obvious performance in the first, we would have won that Play-offs no problems. I will never understand the reasons why Lynn used a guest who had so much history with Poole... With Robert, Rizz , Proctor and TJ all going well , they would always score more than a dubious guest.... I hope NKI is fit to ride, but if not, don't lets go down that same road as last week. Leave it to our own riders who wont let you down...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have loved to have kept him, but he was released back to Lakeside and then sold to Swindon. Good luck to Bomber, he will give it everything. That said, I would prefer KIngs Lynn to win the Cup! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t accept that - he just didn’t ride as well as he has this season - this May be due to machinery but certainly not an agent for Poole 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman65 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 i think the difference is going to be the reserves, somersets are far stronger Allen in top form and Covotti good back up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has ridden our track well in the past and only recently scored 11pts when used as a guest. In that 1st leg every race he tried to jump the start and subsequently got warned & excluded, Yes I appreciate the had 2 race wins but only when we were 18 pts adrift. when the team got back into contention he conveniently went missing again.. In the second leg at Lynn he was seen consistently shutting off so early going into that first bend, ensuring he was never in contention. So noticeable, it stood out a mile. Matt Ford is such an astute manager, I'm in not doubt he had all these bases covered. Probably that accounted for the big smile on his face all evening...

I hope you can conclusively prove that anyone deliberately cheated. That is one very serious claim you are making.

There were so many deciding factors that went Pools way, you have to question your own sanity to believe them . I cant believe I have been so gullible for so many years. I have tried hard to justify all the inconsistencies that happened over the years, but there comes a point when you have to face all your doubts. The truth is I don't believe in it any more, and question the integrity of it all. I can understand why so many fans have deserted it. I cannot continue supporting something I don't believe in anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To suggest Adam wasn't scoring points on purpose so Poole would have a better chance of winning, is quite frankly ridiculous! He doesn't really have a connection to the club, so I don't really get it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellevueace Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Poole had a big dose of good luck over the semi and final but I don't think Ellis purposely went out to be as bad as he was, wonder how he feels in himself having let the Stars down so badly? As for Poole in football parlance their name was on the cup, similar to when Man U won the Champions league againt Bayern, these things happen in sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought MPT should not have been excluded in heat 12. However, the most that could have happened was a 3-2 to KL in that heat although I think it would have been a 3-2 to Poole. KL would have only had one rider in that heat as both reserves were already in the heat. MPT would not have ridden again in that leg nor the 2nd leg because of his broken hand. That is speedway. Are you accusing the Poole rider of dangerous riding with the intent of taking MPT out? Kings Lynn are disappointed which is understandable but your comments are so extreme it is unbelievable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
