POOLE V KINGS LYNN, SUPPORTERS CUP, Weds9.10.19


Recommended Posts

Well for the first time in 30 odd years Speedway is taking place at Poole and I won’t be there. Only meetings I miss is through being on holiday but tonight I just can’t be bothered to attend. This season ended at Ipswich and will be looking forward to next season, in whatever form it takes.

Also what illness does Cook have? Do we need to send soup? 

The same illness all the Poole polish riders had at Eastbourne a few years back which enabled Poole to use track specialists.......

Why would away riders bother to ride in this , it means nothing and they risk injury, Cook has important matches coming up for Glasgow so no point bouncing around on Pooles track and risk a problem.

Im not overly impressed that Harris has taken the booking lol

Kerr has no meetings left and Hans has one meaningless one for Peterborough so understandable they would want to ride

And yes Harris rides Poole better than most and likes the place

Isn't it policy that Bomber, Scott and Rory get first dibs on the guest slots?

:D

And we wonder why our sport is in such a mess.   When we need some direction and responsible to rule over a ridiculous situation where are the BSPA  ?     There is no sense, rhyme or reason for this meeting to be run tonight, especially when there is one of the prime meeting of the season to watch on the telly.   It will take fans away who would usually go and support the home team..  The fact that some away riders have voiced they don't want to ride by pulling out of the meeting shows the  importance of how they see it.   It is difficult enough to run viable meetings in this dying sport but to enforce a club like POOLE to when there is little to gain, is asking a club to lose money they can ill afford.    

I don't condone riders for pulling out of any meetings  but I'd like to think if there was something at stake these rides would turn up....   Surely in situations like these common sense should comes to the fore..

Maybe both Chris and Hans want to showcase for next season ??

Harris in respect of showing he is willing yet again to step in late and prove to Poole management he is worth considering for 2020 on his now much lower GSA. Remember it was his much higher GSA in 2018 stopped him getting a place in 2019. He knows he has a kind of cult status after the heroics of that one meeting alone against Somerset.

Hans showing he is willing to drive 2 bikes to a meaningless meeting miles from his base where he may not even get a ride, but as a Poole asset he is again showing management he is willing to put himself out for both a meaningless meeting and as a kind of loyalty to Poole where he gets major sponsorship in the local area, in an attempt once again to show Matt he is worth considering for 2020 at such a falsely low GSA.

I may we well wide of the mark but I am sure both would like to keep options open as much as possible to secure decent UK contracts for 2020 at a track both have ridden well over the years.

I struggle to believe that some idiot fans defend the actions of Cook and Lambert in scenarios like this.  The same sickening cretins that massage the riders egos and suck up to them on social media probably, trying to act all pally with them.

Yes, it's a meaningless meeting in the grander scheme, but it is an official meeting that needs completing.

Can we look forward to Man City's top boys failing to turn up to their last league game of the season if Liverpool have already won it by then?

Letting the riders get away with crap like this is a big part of the problem over here and why we remain a joke.  Imagine a Pole pulling this stunt at home. PZM would just suspend them.
