So you're down to a few not very high standard second strings. Josh, Paco, Kye and maybe Lasse would undoubtedly have been expected to score more.

szkocjasid Posted September 28, 2023 Report Share Posted September 28, 2023 Why are some people so upset Edinburgh didn't have a guest for Cook? it's not against the rules, r/r is allowed whatever the situation. All year long I read comments about too many guests, now complaints teams aren't using guests lol! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But perhaps some Poole some fans should also learn some humility and accept that the life of a Poole supporter hasn't always been perfect.

Haha. I know you're just looking for an argument like normal, but Skidder is just focusing on the most recent period to suit the narrative that Poole have 'always' been financially stable (and successful).

Expand I'm not arguing that fact, it's a great run club and the speedway world would be much poorer without them. The 'banter' with them on the forum is what makes it fun most of the time. It would just be nice if some of them recognised the fact the sport wasn't invented in 1999. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
