hyabb17 Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 The most obvious thing ever, may as well just cancel the fixture somehow. I don't understand how you can have a cup fixture after the final has been won anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well supposedly they are trying to reschedule it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. That would be more than likely.Bit like the Carabao cup how many top boys do you see in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Well you really have to dig deep now, how many years ago was this, Eastbourne in the top league many years ago, would you be saying the same if half the Poole team pulled out, this is an official match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely in situations like these common sense should comes to the fore.. Wouldn't a pay packet be enough to make riders want to race, even though the meeting doesn't mean anything?

Certainly the Workington v Lakeside, Buxton v Coventry and Eastbourne v Mildenhall league fixtures were never staged, and I thought failure to do so incurred a hefty fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 How is anyone supposed to take a local rivalry between King's Lynn and Ipswich seriously when Chris Harris switches between so-called arch rivals depending on which day of the week it is?

Steve Shovlar Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) pouring down with heavy bursts of rain in the last few hours. Not surprised. Hopefully a date when we don’t clash with other meetings. Edited October 9, 2019 by Steve Shovlar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Make your mind up! On another thread you said that you wouldn't be going if Poole are not in the PL! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
