I may be over suspicious but knowing the way the club operates, at 24-24 and 2 riders down it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that the paramedic was told to not rush back, just a thought! if the paramedic did not get back in ample time the meeting would have been called of no result .and we were close to that .and that would have cost the club a lot of money and would have to find another date for the re-match Edited June 28, 2019 by ray c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The promotion would have tried to call it off after H8 if they were that worried about it. ...well you would say that...wouldn’t you!

WestGorton1884 Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) Do some BV fans honestly believe the Poole promotion waited until they were in front before calling the halt ? Its simple really, they could have called it off at heat 8 ( 24-24), but because the fans had waited patiently , They tried to cram in as many heats as possible before the 10-15 curfew . Poole had no way of knowing they'd gain heat advantages from any of the last 4 races ? Edited June 28, 2019 by WestGorton1884 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was agreeded by everyone concerned that the meeting would run till 10.15, and Poole won 37 - 35, both teams had the same chance to win it, funny nobody has mentioned that a Poole rider had to come out 3 races on the trot with hardly a break in between 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your correction only confirms what I thought about the importance of the points to you guys so yes it’s 3 not 2, well done. Certainly confirms you know nothing about Poole fans.

ouch Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 So you honestly believe they would have called if off had they been losing? Genuine question, yes or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz9100 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Yes. They agreed on a cut off time of 10:15. Anything could have happened over those remaining heats. I wasn’t expecting us to win with 2 men out and having to rely on Paul Starke to take on better riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidder1 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Many in the crowd thought it would be called off after heat 8 - in fact it was announced what the refund/readmission policy would be for a future meeting if it was called off then. However the ref went down to the pits and had discussions with both teams. Both teams wanted to continue racing subject to what time the paramedic was likely to return. A 'curfew' time of 10.15pm was agreed and announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz9100 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 And as Nij has said, if the paramedic wasn’t back by 10pm they would have called it off then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 If you believe yes, I see now why my opinion on the subject would be considered that of a muppet or a wind up merchant. Over the years teams, whether a curfew was in place or there had been an agreed finish time, would continue in an effort to gain a win or call it if they were in front. I’d say this would happen ninety odd percent of the time. Poole over the last decade or so have become infamous for stretching, bending or just plain breaking the rules. This I hope goes some way to explain my take on it all but I can appreciate any newbies without this knowledge would take it as red that everything was above board, as it should be. Alternatively if you believe that clubs call meetings whether in front or not or that Poole’s reputation is unwarranted then I can understand why you’d think my opinion don’t match yours.

I guess any 'newbies' wouldn't know about a track being deliberately flooded when their top rider was supposedly missing? An act which was caught out and officially punished by the SCB/BSPA? No? Just us 'oldies' then!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to use this match as a reference as you said the last decade or so Poole have called meetings off to suit them... Poole v Ipswich September 10th 2009:- Poole 35 - Ipswich 37 .... Meeting abandoned after 12 heats due to 10pm curfew. Edited June 29, 2019 by scottyfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
