Danny Connor 351 Posted October 9, 2018 Gutted. If toft is out and with no iversen. I still have faith but it’s a long shot. I can’t believe Ellis is a better option than rr either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest Jorgensen has improved his average from the start from 5.93 to 6.27 all I want from riders is a bit of improvement through the season. Proctor has done remarkably well going from 5.50 to 6.57. Riss also improved by 0.18,could we expected more from those 3 I don't think so.

Aces51 2,778 Posted October 9, 2018 After the poor racing last night it would be good to see something that might entice TV viewers and the casual fans to want to see more live speedway. I hope that King's Lynn manage to win because they deserve to because they finished top of the league and because of the poor hand fate dealt them with the injuries and the dubious refereeing last night. It certainly won't be easy but it's not impossible. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrss 691 Posted October 9, 2018 Bed at 4 this morning. Up again at 6 . Work at 8 . Wouldn't mind but the refferee ruined last night for us Stars fans. He was a complete joke. But at least Twatum and Pearhead will be happy that Poole have a good lead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve0 5,517 Posted October 9, 2018 If Nick Morris rides for Poole tomorrow in place of Brady Kurtz then they will be fielding an illegal team on the basis that a fundamental rule concerning averages is being flouted - irrespective of who has agreed that they can! If they go on to win on aggregate with an illegal team, it will be a tainted victory and Poole will have earned the title “Cheating scumbags” rather than champions! I do hope they see sense and use RR instead or a legal replacement - with a 16 point lead, they don’t need to cheat either! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not only that but i am not convinced having Morris is a better choice than r/r anyway and i would be much happier supporting a team of Poole riders. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve0 5,517 Posted October 9, 2018 ^^^ Just the reaction I expected from SS. I don’t know what there is to laugh about - it’s actually very sad (if it happens) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I kind of agree a bit.It seems some were upset when something morally wrong was going to happen(but not against the rules).Then when the rules are being broken they are happy 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shame Matt Ford and Middleditch didn't think that in 2010 instead of acting like they did. Boots on the other foot now so of course their reactions will be completely different. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was only Allitt's suggestion that KL use Adam and Poole use Morris which Poole agreed to. It was proposed to BSPA/SCB and it seemed a sensible option so special dispensation was granted. Poole have done nothing wrong. They merely agreed to another club's proposal to avoid the sport looking more stupid than it already was.
