Josh had been beaten by Dan Bewley. Brady had been beaten by Dan Bewley, Steve Worrall and Max Fricke. Jack had been beaten by Max and Scott (not to mention his own team mate, twice). I think the meeting was in the balance, however you look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, so you can't say Poole would have won and you can't say BV would have won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no axe to grind either way (although I am Bees fan at heart, so draw your own conclusions ). I guess my objection, if I have one, is that curtailed meetings due to a curfew, weather or any other reason, should be declared without any risk of an accusation of bias. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyfan Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) 6 hours ago, ouch said: Yes, good point. They would normal keep going as many Poole meetings have played on after 10.15pm. You’re right that its extremely rare for Poole not to go the full distance. The one ten years ago had nothing riding on it as win or lose Poole we’re out of the play offs, so there was no need to carry on. Thanks for the info. Have to say it again.....Wrong!!...There was a need to carry on as it was the second match in a double header with Eastbourne, which the Pirates won 50 - 43, To draw level with Belle Vue on points at the bottom of the table. A win against the Witches would put Belle Vue into the relegation/promotion play off against Edinburgh.....as it happened Poole narrowly finished above Belle Vue on race points and Belle Vue went on to win the relegation/promotion play off. So there was certainly something riding on the result and a Poole win!! Edited June 29, 2019 by scottyfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bored now # cheats. Good try, at least you gave it a go unlike speedtiger or whatever they're called! If you gonna be adamant about something have to at least back it up. Shame half of yours aren't classed as 'cheating' though. Better luck next time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
