Fair play for doing it but it does not mean you know anything per day about speedway more you can design and run a game. Maybe you know lots about computing …… I was chairman of a football club for free with no pay for several years doesn’t mean I know everything about football just means I know about the business model which is greatly different to football itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 So with Brummies due to hold the Alan Grahame meeting on Wednesday, they are announcing their line-ups tomorrow (Sunday) morning which should clarify who might be available as a guest at Poole. Some have mentioned Aarnio, but reports suggest his injuries have ended his season. Summers may have retired - again! Sedgeman probably contracted to appear at Perry Bar. Nicholls is odds on to guest for Kennett (+5%) on Tuesday but can't on Wednesday. Plymouth due to announce their Tuesday line-up on Monday morning.

I don't disagree with an independent Chairperson, but in all honesty who is there that knows sufficiently about the speedway business but doesn't have any allegiance to any club?

We got hammered there earlier this year. And Plymouth scraped a draw at Poole. So clearly Plymouth favourites to go through and it will take an almost impossible effort from Pirates to make it to the semis. Can they do it against all the odds? Sarcasm is not your best strength. Yet again Poole running the show in British Speedway to get their own way. the best for the sport would be to let this go one further week and I just hope it rains. Perhaps we'll call it off on Monday night due to the weather forecast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Poole should get the second leg. Plymouth have no right to it. They could of course call off the meeting on Tuesday to force Poole’s hand, but it will just be delaying for no good reason. All this dreadful weather forecast is a nonsense. A risk of sunshine and showers in a brisk wind. https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2640194 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
