Maybe, but we are in it to win it, and everybody knows Matt. Funny how our thread, Poole has 400,000 more viewings than any other thread, so we must be doing something right..

A member of the committee deemed it not right or would help Somerset a bit too much more like. We’ve been giggling about this post over breakfast, it’s class. You say Somerset where stopped from signing Harris as it would help them but Poole can sign him as it will er, weaken them or not help them. Funny, funny, funny, keep ‘em coming.

Whether it’s 9/11, Tsumami, Katrina or Trump etc, it’s clear to see what makes the most column inches. Given your opinion that injured riders from other teams “reap what they sow” I’m not surprised you revel in disaster. Awful human being. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its quite simple as to why Somerset couldn't sign Harris to replace Vissing, because it would have put them over the 42.50 points limit (just!). Didn't need a BSPA guru to step in - just someone who could do simple arithmetic!! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rules clearly state August 12th cut-off, with any changes effective on 15th August. (Incidentally thats more or less exactly 28 days for MF to consider bringing Sundstrom - or any other rider that fits - back for Worrall if scores don't improve.)

naffer 442 Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Not having team Kevlars makes sense now. Mind you probably would have got a discount for a bulk order. Edited July 13, 2018 by naffer 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gimli27 54 Posted July 13, 2018 If Linus did want to try to up his form by giving UK a miss for the rest of this year then Bomber a decent replacement yes his form not brilliant but gives everything and with the league as it is not many options out there also he may be not a youngster but still a Brit having a job instead of a flaky pole coming over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,191 Posted July 13, 2018 Somerset could have made a double swap as they did when replacing Charles & Jonas. Is that too difficult a fact for you to understand? Why would Somerset say they were prevented signing Harris if it was just an averages thing? This is why Poole threads run on and on as the basics need to be explained again and again. Non speedway folk I know but Christ it’s hard work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not doing something right as probably most fans having a look at Poole threads do it for the comedy value like me. If I need cheering up I always look in here first. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
