Ta-da!!! We are not cheating til it actually happens! I think you are clutching at straws there, forecast is good for Wednesday, in fact it is likely to be warmer even in East Anglia.

foreverblue 6,081 Posted October 8, 2018 I imagine the reason it has been done this way round is because we had already booked Morris for tonight and KL had booked Ellis for tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lynn still favourites though and rightly so. Yep Pooles odds have shortened and Lynn have drifted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,049 Posted October 8, 2018 Poole to win tonight by 10-12 and then Lynn to win by 9 in the return with the 'illegal' Nick Morris being used in the second leg................great advert for the sport Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted October 8, 2018 Oh well off to Wimborne Road for some speedway racing. Hopefully a good meeting. Lets hope for some good racing and lots of controvesy. Come on you Pirates! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gavan 5,049 Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) Its obviously common sense to some people to change rules once they in place...............silly that Eliis was booked for two teams...........and even sillier now that Poole can go into the second meeting with an illegal rider. Be nice next season if some teams want a guest who is above the limit and then see if they can get that changed and over ruled. As ive said explain to the neutral how Poole win the league with a rider who is not allowed to race. I hope Lynn , the best team of these two over the season, can still manage somehow to give the sport back some credibility and prove to the neutral that the sport is bigger than cheating Edited October 8, 2018 by Gavan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What both teams agree too is completely and utterly irrelevant. This is meant to be a professional sport, not a Sunday morning game of football.. actually scrap that, illegal players wouldn't be allowed in any form of competitive game either even if 'both teams agreed'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
