    Yes. Shawn, who is rarely wrong when it comes to stats has shown that your original claim can’t possibly be true.

    Ben has a lower starting average that's true but doubt there would be much difference come end of 2016 so the opinion then becomes subjective.

     

    If they're going to end on a similar average then it absolutely isn't subjective. Barker is the better choice.

     

    Regardless of what average they finish on, be it 3, 6 or 9, if they both finish the same then Barker is better value as he start off lower.

    To everyone who is still grizzling about this.

    You are not entitled to, or owed an explanation on the details of Rod's accident. End of story.

     

    However, you should think about taking off the tin foil hat and getting out more, you're acting like a knob.

    Is that possible? There were rumours that the only reason he rode this year is that he had to have a team place to be able to live in the country. Any truth in this?

     

    I don't know mate to be honest, I hadn't thought it through, just a gut feeling.

     

    Don't know anything at all about the visa situation.......

    I thought it was just Peter Oakes make a judgement call. There was not criteria per se. Just a case of, "what would he average this season?" - IMO all assessed riders should be slightly over estimated rather than under estimated too.

     

    I wonder if Peter Oakes needs some bricks.......

    As a Poole fan, I have to hold my hands up and say "we got away with one there" in reference to gogglegate. However, we've all been on both sides of dodgy reffing decisions, that's just the way it goes.

    Had the ref got it right on Monday, it doesn't necessarily follow that Belle Vue would have won. The whole trajectory of the tie would have been different from that point.

     

    What is for certain however is that Belle Vue's fans, riders and management were excellent last night and very nearly pulled it off, and can be proud of their season's achievements.

     

    Now, this may not be entirely popular with my co Poole fans, but I wouldn't be too fussed if the SCB removed the 2 points and declared Poole & Belle Vue joint Elite League Champions 2015. That way justice will have been served and both teams come away as winners.

    Well things don't look good for Poole. Belle Vue cruised to an easy zero point lead on Monday making it virtually unthinkable that Poole will be able to claw it back.

     

    Sadly for the Aces fans, Monday will live long in the memory of all genuine speedway fans due to the unrelenting cheating by the home side.

     

    Firstly we had Worrall's pathetic attempt to get the race stopped in heat two, followed by Nielsen attempting to get Starke disqualified in the re run.

    Later we saw the Belle Vue start marshall physically wrestling Newman's goggles away from him on the start line in heat 12, in a desperate attempt to disadvantage the Poole man.

     

    Additionally, Crump was sent round to the Poole pits in a cynical attempt to bore them into submission.

     

    Then, finding themselves 13 points behind, the despicable Aces went out and actually rode well in order to get themselves back into the meeting.

     

    It really was a disgraceful show from Belle Vue and I suspect that most of the fans are absolutely ashamed of their club ahead of tonights formality.

    Fortunately, my club, the world famous Poole Pirates would never sink to such depths to win a meeting, and for that I am grateful.

    Anyway, I must dash, I've got to phone the travel agent and book my flight to Rome.

    Correct me if I'm wrong (and not sure if this has already been posted amongst all the BS) but didn't Belle Vue get a facility for Josh G on compassionate grounds, just after the Kerr crash because 'his head wasn't in the right place'??!

     

    There you go again using facts and logic.

     

    You've been told before, sit in the corner and mumble "conspiracy, conspiracy......"
