No, and whose fault is that? Allit! Poole had Ellis booked for Kings Lynn. There’s a word for what happened. KARMA. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NickH114 17 Posted October 18, 2018 Speaking as a neutral i think this tie is far from over, R.Lambert and Riss are an awesome pairing at home and if they start off in heat 1 how they did last week it could make things interesting, in all fairness i don't think Starke will get the points that Wright did last night and Lawson didn't score a point on Somersets last visit, i hope tonights referee has been to specsavers since he officiated at the league meeting v Belle Vue in august when he made 2 howlers (both in favour of the home team) which was pointed out on here and on the updates page and rightly so, if Iversen has a good meeting and the rest of the Lynn team ride as well at home as they have done for the majority of this season i think this could go down to the wire.

foreverblue 6,055 Posted October 18, 2018 I don't think this is over at all, King's Lynn can do it, they scared Poole a bit and that was with Howarth and Ellis doing nothing, if they had chosen different guests they may have beaten us by more than 16. If they use Premiership averages then they could have Wright to guest for MPT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poole had Ellis booked it was KL that wanted Ellis and forced Poole to not use him. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that's the problem with our sport. You say, some we win and some we lose.. the only problem with that is all the other matches throughout the season are not important. to lose a league match is of no consequence. According to the design of the whole speedway season its only the play-offs that matter. So my suggestion to our team of riders , is if you want to have an off night do it during the season when it don't matter a bit. If you are going to have an off night in the finals then we have to ask ourselves 'What's the point of it all' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ford wont give anything away if he thinks will help an opposing team, that's for sure.. IF Lynn and Poole agreed between themselves that Poole could use a rider that didn't fit, it was up to the powers that be so say "NO...… We are not bending a long standing rule to suit just one meeting !!! " Simples. It's done now. Might as well let it go...for now But can you imagine what would of happened if Lynn wanted to use a rider that didn't fit against anyone, let alone Poole. Charles Wright fits for Somerset at Lynn in the 2nd leg with +5% .. Can you imagine it....".Oh he don't fit", I hear everyone say.. That's sorted says May, i've dropped Buster a text and he said it was cushty… as long as Lynn can have 1 and 3 in the 1st heat.. Nothing to see here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my opinion both teams should have been made to use r/r and both teams should have been made to get a number 8. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,055 Posted October 18, 2018 Anyway back to tonight a lot of fans are blaming Tero Aarnio for the result but he isn't a bad rider and got 6 points at Poole for Somerset earlier in the season. What do Kings Lynn fans want Howarth? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
