robert72 845 Posted September 30, 2015 To take points off of someone for not wearing goggles is ridiculous anyway, their have been plenty of riders who take them off after a lap anyway. The best team won over two legs. So What yout saying it's ok to break the rules,if so why have a rule book ? Did Poole win it or did the ref win it for Poole in the first leg.

crumpiefan 44 Posted September 30, 2015 congratulations to poole, best team over the season - seems fitting the team finishing top wins the play offs. if only belle vue had in 2005. the difference to me (apart from the huge points swing between the reserves) was poole had more riders who on the night(s) you fancied to win races, belle vue had zagar cook and nicholls in the home leg and probably just cook and nicholls tonight. very proud of the aces tonight tho. just regarding the goggles business, I would imagine most right minded fans would rather win a title on the track than via appeals etc but that said I have definitely seen teams' scores adjusted long after a meeting for all sorts of reasons so why didn't the scb act, even if was just to fine newman without a change to the scores?

lionheart 86 Posted September 30, 2015 Perhaps Poole should send a winners medal to Graham Flint haha no, it was plain as day on the tv footage lolStill think Bv track man cost them more than Graham Flint. Did Meredith have a hand in the track prep ? I though it was the Skyman ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

proud pirate 0 Posted September 30, 2015 How stupid are most of these pathetic Poole haters belle veiws 5 1 in heat 15 was down to Poole already in party mode and not wanting to get injured in a meaningless race (like Darcy unfortunately did ) . do you really think magic would not of beat at least one of them if needed !! now can we just congratulate both teams on a Great final instead of destroying speedways reputation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,777 Posted September 30, 2015 Congratulations to Poole, worthy Champions. The Aces showed tremendous fighting spirit in both legs and I suspect surprised many, including Poole, by keeping the overall score so close. Our 1-5 easily outscored their Poole counterparts. The future is looking bright as we prepare to move into the new stadium. Well done to all of the riders involved in two excellent meetings. A particular well done to Cookie who showed his true ability. Many just look at his age and still don't appreciate that his progress has been dramatic when you realise he has only been riding for 6/7 years. Far less than many EL Draft Riders. If the points limit stays the same we can track the same 1-5 next year. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robert72 845 Posted September 30, 2015 Typical... very little congratulating Poole on a well earned title and instead being arseholes over a pair of goggles. Well done Poole and well done to Belle Vue. If it was down to playing by the rules and fair sportsmanship then Poole wouldn't be champions at heat 15 So Poole won by a rider breaking the rules and illegally gaining 2 points over the opposition and then win the championship by 2 points they illegally got, so how do Poole expect neutrals to congratulate them let alone belle vue fans who were robbed a run off.

Ace no.5 169 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) I'm expecting a Poole win closer to 60 than 50.How silly you must feel... There is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. It's lucky the Poole riders weren't thinking like that tonight or BV would have won it comfortably. Edited September 30, 2015 by Ace no.5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bradford Ace 183 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Many congrats to Poole on their 3rd title in a row but we pushed em all the way which was great to see. Can't believe we gave the team that came top of the league & 13 point start & then a 10 point start & still took it to heat 29 from 30 so massive credit to my boys - big heart shown that's for sure. The goggle thing to me is ridiculous & isn't even worth talking about. We ultimately lost the tie at home by having a stinking start to Monday's meeting & because our otherwise excellent rsvs got thrashed 10-1 in the reserve races on their own track. Shame cos they've both been really good all season. Maybe it was big meeting nerves & hopefully with more experience they will have the chance to put it right. Thought it was a belting final tho, 2 great meetings with loads of passing & close racing so big well done to both teams. Poole will no doubt be the team to beat again in 2016 with Brady Kurtz probably coming into their team but we have a new stadium & track to look forward to after finishing runners up so for the 1st time in years it's actually quite good to be an Aces fan at the moment!!! Roll on next season!!! Edited September 30, 2015 by Bradford Ace 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
