No Danny King, no Richard Lawson etc? You'd be calling for a rain off or similar yourself then. Well Poole would probably get Scott Nicholls for the home meeting?!

But seeing has Hans was going to be riding in Denmark tonight anyway (if he didn't get injured). That only leaves Palm Toft. No fan will be happy about 4 of the team being out but if we had it and had to go to Leicester say. No way would they be postponing it imo!

IronScorpion Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 Riders probably want/need to cover their own costs to guest due to the opposition & fellow team mates as back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doners123 Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 It’s a shame and it really is what it is. There’s nothing Plymouth can do about it most are riding in the “friendly” meeting this evening and probably shows why poole were being clever about why they were so desperate to get the meeting run with around 6/7 days notice. It is nothing but a full gone conclusion this meeting and then the home meeting is going to be pointless. those saying it’s plymouths fault for using R/R for Kennett all season there’s still R/R for kennett anyways. There is no riders around to replace him ! it is what it is, one bonus from this season is exactly how good Plymouth can prove to be when Gary May supported by mark puts a team together. Id have gone out on a limb and openly said that had we kept our originally agreed team for all season we would have won the league. 1-Lawson 2- Bowtell 3- Barker 4- MPT 5- Andersen 6- Gilkes 7- Atkins so although this season is all but over and has been an up hill struggle all season with injuries I’m already looking forward to the team put together for next year. by the way the originally declared team for Plymouth not one rider is riding tonight.. sums up our season. BTW not saying it’s pooles fault they are running tonight if anything shows the worry they had fancying a full (ish) Plymouth team over two legs.

No Danny King, no Richard Lawson etc? You'd be calling for a rain off or similar yourself then. It would never, ever have happened to Poole. For starters Kennett would have been replaced the week following his injury. The likes of Barker would never had been signed by Poole so that puts that to bed. And Poole would have got temp replacements for injured riders and used guests that Plymouth don’t want to pay for. Latest forecast is a dry day and evening. Should be a good crowd and hopefully a decent Pirates lead to take to Plymouth next Tuesday. Bring it on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSPL should step in and either give Poole a bye or order a postponement due to understrength team. It maybe in the interests of Poole to run tonight but it's not in the interests of the sport imo Will anyone outside the sport even know? They don't know about the GPs, let alone a random mid-week second division meeting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtf Posted September 7, 2022 Report Share Posted September 7, 2022 3 hours ago, Fromafar said: That’s what I asked,why do riders not want to guest.! Unless you live close by, it's a godforsaken place to get to or from. In the case of people like Aaron or Leon, it's only an 850 mile 14 hr round trip. Then in every race you have, you'll face their top 3 and the cook brothers round their home track, so lets say you could easily end up scoring 5 points at best? at a heatleader rate in the championship £80 a point, that's £400. Now you got to pay for a mechanic. They're probably not available as they are doing their other job, if they're coming with you and helping with the driving, they're going to lose 2 days work. £150? If it's a meeting mechanic who's local to Poole, going to cost you £60 ish, but you're driving yourself there and back, and god help you if you get injured and end up in the hospital, while there's no one to pack up your stuff, drive your van home etc. Your engine might be in for service right now, some will be as they rode Monday, then Thursday planned, so might not have their chosen engine available? You run the risk of crash damage, injury, mechanical damage, all for going to get your backside kicked. Your fuel rate won't cover your diesel bill, if you try to stay over somewhere you got hotel to pay, then food on the road etc. Certainly it's not that appealing for anyone north of Watford. If you're a half decent heatleader in this division, there's a better than average chance this booking will cost you money 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
