To be honest bit of a strange choice I thought, not Danny's best season so far!

Why? I can only see one rider I'd chose in preference (Pickering)

Don't see the issue, as Fromafar said it's all about maximising earnings, wouldn't imagine they'd give a second thought what effect it has on the league table. 

That is crazy talk! You're saying that a captain of a club is not bothered about making the SF's of the playoffs? :blink:

The playoffs will only matter in that they bring in more meetings so extra income, and surely Poole are guaranteed to get there anyway?

Maybe King is confident Poole can beat anyone over 2 legs, so it's bothered if the Pirates finish 2nd, 3rd or 4th?

Which is how he's available, if King was riding to last year's form his average would be too high. Must be one of the best options below Kennetts ave

Maybe you can find out if King checked with the Poole management before accepting the booking?

Nah! Poole have been banging the drum about really wanting to finish top 2 for ages. And really he could have helped Plymouth win last night and could have made it very difficult for Poole to finish top 2. Seems crazy to me and have a bit of a bee in my bonnet about it. As you probably have noticed! lol

Poole management have said previously they won't stop their riders earning extra money from taking guest bookings. 

It's not about guesting in a general sense, it's about a team who we can't afford to get league points and go above us!

Clearly then, as suggested, King wasn't bothered - he just saw it as an earning opportunity.

Know for a fact it took him a day to make decision.

Glasgow will secure 2nd place . Plymouth just needed  a guest . I think Plymouth are happy to be close to a play off position .
