Wiseguy 214 Posted October 8, 2018 As a neutral I definitely think Poole have the best guest. just a massive shame Brady and Niels are unfit, I would say Morris is around the same level as Kurtz so Poole have done well, but no way (and no disrespect to Adam) is he on the same level as Niels hope both meetings are tight and competitive and we see some decent racing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kurtz 6.75.............replaced by Morris 6.74 Iversen 7.36...........replaced by Ellis 6.47 That shows the advantage Poole have but they can only beat whats in front of them Hope Kings Lynn can overcome the loss and at least make a spectacle of the final Plus don't forget Gavan, Morris is better than Kurtz hahahahaha 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grachan 7,314 Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) 4 minutes ago, BWitcher said: 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'. Reading the statement on the BSPA website, the rules have been amended slightly to allow this (presumably with regard to the 5% only applying at home). Consequently, Poole's side is not illegal in the away leg anyway. It is within the rules and has been approved by the BSPA and the SCB. So... happy, no problem.

A better and more sensible solution would have been to have told Lynn they can’t use either rider as both had a deal with Poole. Use r/r or another guest. Fair and sensible. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where Steves comment does have some credence is in that the rewritten regs shouldve had the caveat re the guest situation that was written into the cup section also added to the play off section With some forethought the whole situation would not have arisen 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
