Out of that lot i would probably have gone for Bewley,Wright or Nicholls.So imo not plenty.And as i said earlier do we know they wanted to.The only rider that never seems to turn bookings down is Harris. Poole fans whinging that Lynn used Ty for Tofty against Swindon, but Harris against Poole. Bit of a joke if you ask me. I didn't see any Poole fans moaning last week, when Buster was honest about Lambert unlike BV, he could of said he aggravated his neck injury. But he used a NL rider, while Wells intermittent shoulder injury played up, and replacement scored a handy 8+1 from 4. Get over it..

So if you had an electrician into to do a job in your house and he made a pigs ear of it you would get the self same sparky in to do another job for you ? What kind of numbnut would do that ? I won’t want anyone answering ‘ A Poole fan ‘ Forever you expect you will win, I’m sure you won’t. Yes but you wouldn't employ the first electrician because you knew by past performances and reviews he would do a crap job, just asking for trouble!

On Monday Poorthing had a chance to pass Batchelor but just as he got level with him Poorthing backed off. He hasn't any bottle. He has been poor ever since he signed this season. He was the one who told everyone he had 3 bikes , 4 engines and 2 Polish mechanics. Seems like none of them done there job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytogo28 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 It's often repeated among riders - even very recently - that speedway is a mind game or all in the mind ( once you have mastered the basics of course ). Even Greg Hancock has said it's not all about set ups! Even the "have a go" spirit is a mental thing ( see some irate riders going truly into battle after having been fouled, in their eyes ). So, very likely it is not the bikes, engines or mechanics in Porsing's case - and he will know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle77 Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 How about looking at the guest situation like this... Chris Harris rides for Ipswich... who are also in the play-offs. He can have a big influence on who finishes top of the table and therefore has choice of opponents. Ipswich would probably be considered to be the weakest of the 4 play-off teams and therefore a decent possibility to be picked by the top team. Would Ipswich rather face Swindon or Poole? My guess would be that on current form... and considering that they've had a "rehearsal" at Wimmy Rd just this week... they'd rather take on Poole. So maybe Chris Harris will be doing all he can to help Poole finish top... and thus prove to be a far worse guest than Ty Proctor was... We'll see...

proud panther Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Maybe DWP can let us know the situation with Porsing ? He is always honest with his posts. Whatever the reasons, & I suspect it could be past injuries, Porsing has been very disappointing Edited September 19, 2019 by proud panther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Ipswich were also riding on the evening in question that only left Peterborough riders of which Proctor is one - Wright I doubt would have wanted the booking as he has been ”desperately trying to keep himself fit for Cardiff” (as explained by him on Tues evening) Andersen who has crashed recently himself may not have wanted it or even been in the UK? Tungate - was he in the UK? No idea! Nicholls has been in such poor form in the PL - not a good choice so who is left? Proctor who at least has plenty of experience of the Saddlebow Road track earlier this season. That’s my theory for what it’s worth anyway!

Danny Connor Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Shame for him and a shame for us. It was frustrating watching him ride Monday. He had a few opportunities to give it a good go and he just didn't go for it. All hype and no substance. That must really hurt for him too because I would have thought he was expecting to score 6/7 every meeting. To not be as good at something that is the main thing you base your life upon must really cut deep. Maybe he needs a spell on a slicker track that is more suited to him so he can get some confidence up and prove everybody wrong as an away rider next season. Riders with a point to prove are worth Their weight in gold! He should go somewhere else with that attitude and it will be the making of him. There is a 6 point rider in him. He just needs to find it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so much "cost" more that from the outset of the season, riders were given the incentive of having a better chance of more guest bookings as (if) they arose from Busters three teams by being part of the pool and thus being possible prefered choice before riders from the other four were considered.

You seem to have a thing about Bomber riding tonight. I doubt he will score more than MPT would of. We had a number 7 that's never seen the place. and no TJ. It's going to be pretty close I think. I hope Josh's Lynn form continues tonight . But I expect him to get 7 or so. The bookies have it close, with Lynn slight favourites. Lovely day here if any Poole fans are on the way down.
