Poole Sign Lindback

Recommended Posts

You finished moaning ??

 

Just posting how I see it.

 

Sorry we don't see eye to eye, but not everybody sees this as right or good for the sport.

BUT why should someone on the MC, Chris van Straaten for example, try and help Poole who are Wolverhampton's opponents in the play-offs. That doesn't make sense.

Is it true that only two or three members are needed to rubber stamp a decision, say Chapman, Godfrey & Pratt?

 

 

It's baffling isn't it. It's not just speedway though, politics, business and other sports have all had some strange decisions made throughout history and nobody can work out why.

 

On an unrelated note is it true Poole get close to 4000 at £25 per head for a play off final?

That's £100k. Nice.

We didn't charge £25 last year, or the year before that nor the preivious 4 years. it was £20

I'M the last person to ask about speedway's rulebook, but ...

 

It's obviously legal if that's what MC decided on. As long as Lindback's average is below Andersen's then it's perfectly legal because there's a seven day window before the play off starts - only restriction is rider could not have ridden for another UK club this season.

 

Poole enquired of the BSPA to provide an assessed average for Lindback. They came back with 7.00. And that was sanctioned by their own MC.

 

It would be nice, of course, were the BSPA transparent and revealed how they came to that assessment but the fact that they haven't is hardly the fault of Poole and certainly doesn't, in my humble view, make them "cheating scumbags."

 

​If other tracks were unhappy with the assessment they could have appealed to the SCB for clarification.

So does that mean the Star won't be investigating this ludicrous decision? Surely this move, which could materially affect the outcome of the play offs, is worthy of at least getting a statement explaining the decision. Fans want to know.

Does anyone have any straw going spare, I think I've found a use for it! Edited by waihekeaces1

Not disputing that. It would be good to understand the reasoning though, especially in the new Chapman era of transparency.

Have a word with Chapman then. Maybe he can supply you with the answers..
