I don’t think any Poole fan will find pleasure in this beat down coming up, including me. you will find a lot of poole fans just want to win anyway like shovlar said on a earlier post the place will be packed to the rafters all good then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one who likes the Plymouth set-up, and felt nothing but good vibes on many visits, I'm really sorry to see the team Garry has been required to nominate. They will line up, if it is on, as: 1 Rider Replacement 8.402 Ben Morley 4.293 Ben Trigger 8.004 Anders Rowe 6.765 Dillon Ruml 7.156 Lee Complin 3.267 Connor Coles 2.00 Which doesn't look as strong at the Gladiators would want, or deserve. Which is a shame, not just for Plymouth but also for the blameless Poole, who would have difficulty in promoting a play-off tie against a weakened visiting side with their usual efficiency. If it is on. Ben Trigger has done well to get that 8.00 average! 1 Rider Replacement 3.73 (the total of the other 6 riders divided by 6)2 Ben Morley 5.073 Ben Trigger 2.004 Anders Rowe 5.215 Dillon Ruml 5.476 Lee Complin 3.087 Connor Coles 1.56 Total Combined GSA Rolling Average: 26.12 This match should be postponed due to Plymouth fielding an understrength team 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What goes around comes around as they say. Cheating occurs when a rule is broken. No rule has been broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another team bites the dust . Poole can only race (beat) what's put out in front of them. WTF has it got to do with DF if Plymouth can't put together a decent team? They should've replaced Kennett at the start of the season but have used a loophole to use R/R all year and now that's come back and bitten them on the 'arris! They would've (injuries permitting) had a decent No. 1 riding tonight if they'd replaced EK. They'd also have Ben Barker if he was available. Only got themselves to blame I'm afraid... EDIT: My apologies to all and especially to Ben for my poor choice of original words . I didn't mean anything, just posted very poor wording without thinking.

LisaColette Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 56 minutes ago, lucifer sam said: Unless the rain dictates otherwise, why should Poole call the meeting off? Poole are a highly professional outfit. There's no way they'd go through a season not replacing a rider out since April (Edward Kennett). That Plymouth did not so has come back to bite them on the bum. Why is it Poole's fault that Plymouth have not replaced injured and suspended riders? The recent injuries are hard luck, but Kennett's been out since April and Barker since July. As for the demise of Plymouth Speedway, I doubt if an away loss on a night when only a handful of their diehards are present is going to make much difference. The call off of the home meeting against Glasgow - complete with the whole farcical situation of setting their own track on fire to the degree where the fire service was called - was far more damaging. Heaven knows what the non die-hards in the stadium were thinking that night. I hope that Plymouth are back next season. Exactly!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Despite the potential for a huge wage bill I would think Danny Ford will be grateful for some income for the first time in 3 weeks after the Riders Championship and Middlo's testimonial on successive Wednesdays?

dave1075 Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 It is not Poole’s fault on who they race against & it’s just circumstances that Plymouth find themselves in. The Gladiators options on guests are limited & other then those already selected, there are only possibly 5 other riders who could have stepped in. Those being Batchelor, Flint, Summers, Allen & Heeps. They may all have their reasons for not being available, so unless the weather intervenes it’s Que sera sera. Good luck to all the riders taking part & hope everyone of them stay safe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Hunter Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Plymouth will do well to get 25 points tonight! It's such a shame as they started the season so well! I had the misfortune to be there when they thrashed Leicester 60.30! I hope they have better luck next season! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave1075 Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 I’m surprised Plymouth didn’t get Adam Roynon in as one of the guests as he does ride for their NDL team,rather then allow him to ride in a challenge match at Birmingham. It’s a big ask for young Ben Trigger having his 1st meeting back since injury but at least he’s giving it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's being fed to the lions and doesn't stand a chance. Hopefully Ben will follow in the example of Henry Atkins, move away and find life better away from Plymouth. Henry is flourishing again at Oxford, under the guidance of a supportive club and manager. Edited September 7, 2022 by lucifer sam 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavan Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Totally not Pooles fault they can only go against what they are up against though what fan would pay money to go and watch it One things for sure this thread has shown exactly what an arrogant horrible piece of work one certain Poole fan is 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It maybe in the interests of Poole to run tonight but it's not in the interests of the sport imo Maybe the BSPL could have considered the relative strength of Brummies and Cradley tonight and sought to avoid a clash in dates given that Plymouth are very restricted in terms of Guests in play offs anyway Of course Danny Ford refused and insisted it was ridden tonight which is his right and prerogative. If the match takes place it could render 2nd leg irrelevant. Just as important will be up to referee to ensure conditions are safe for all competing. May be if certain riders hadn't asked for 3 grand a meeting or others who wanted to ride for sensible sums mot been stopped by the management committee earlier in the season like Thomas Jorgensen, it would be such a potentially farcical outcome.

No sitting back. Plymouth could certainly hold us close. Rider Replacement certainly knows his way around Poole. Been here enough times. Morley is no slouch. Wasn’t Trigger from Only Fools and Horses in the GPs a few seasons ago? Rowe and Ruml solid and Complin always entertains with his around the boards efforts. Coles and Ablitt battling for the odd point. Too close to call. Do not forget that he has admitted himself that he is 50% wind up merchant & 50% gossip monger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfiemorris Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 4 hours ago, Steve Shovlar said: Stop being so melodramatic. Hardly going to affect Plymouth Speedway to their demise. Far worse calling off a meeting two weeks ago due to a crap track with everyone inside. Looking forward to tonight. Prefer watching the Pirates over individual events. Hope the showers stay away and we have an exciting meeting and a good Poole lead to take to Plymouth next week. Melodramatic! So how would you feel if the boot was on the other foot? No Danny King, no Richard Lawson etc? You'd be calling for a rain off or similar yourself then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
