dump that clutch 630 Posted September 22, 2015 So after a great but very late night at Wimborne Road yesterday (and an even later morning!) I have finally managed to catch up on this thread. Well done to all the Bees fans that made the trip and a particular well done to Bomber and Hans for coming across at the end and shaking all the Pirates' hands!! I'm not going to go over all the vitriolic posts that have gone before, other than to say that I think the 'seething and disillusionment' expressed by the Bees Mangement before the meeting was simply down to the frustration of finding out that Matt Ford had already booked Eddie Kennett as a guest when they tried to make contact themselves! Some of the attacks on Dak's father's situation are simply unbelieveable and we shall have to await further post-operative information before any decision on whether a further medical certificate might be needed?! ( Incidentally, having a brother in the medical field, it is probable that the medical certificate for Dak contained 'depression' or 'anxiety' as the reason, and hence why Poole gave him compassionate leave. I believe Josh G's certificate contained a similar diagnosis after Kerr's crash.) Personally I would have given the Rider of the Night Award to either Watty or Ginger, but Darcy's message that it should go to Eddie Kennett was a classic response to Horton's earlier bs!! Well done to Lemo and the Aces (commiserations to Rosco and the Robins) - looking forward to 2 tough meetings next week ps. If mdmc2 is looking for a medical certificate to cover her 'repetitive strain injury', it can be arranged. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orion 7,640 Posted September 22, 2015 Well i must be in a minority then as ive never cheered when a rider has fallen off irrelevent of how innocous it looks. Even simple falls can cause horrifc injuries. Havvy broke his back sliding off, i saw Paul Muchene at Hackney slide off but he had Nick Floyd right behind him. So are we supposed to only cheer a certain type of fall? Im confused. If Harris had have clipped Kennets back wheel and cartwheeled into the fence would the Poole fans still have cheered. Did the opposition fans cheer when Darcy, Rico , Stead, Hare and Jonsson cheer when they crashed? Sorry but to cheer like the Poole fans did IMMEDIATLY as Harris went down is wrong. Who was to say that he didnt hurt his back or bang his head somehow as he fell? Im sure fans of other clubs do it and its wrong. So if fans from all clubs do it what is the big deal about last night ..are you going bring a rule out to stop it and every track ? not sure what your point is .

NOBODY 538 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) anybody got any updates on rod north's condition? carnt find anything on any news websites internet forums or google normally when something like this happens someone friend or family normally posts on speedway friends or a similar group but theres been nothing it seems nobody knew anything about rod north's accident until dakota told people after fridays match.. I suspect that like a lot of other riders family or personal misfortunes it is f*** all to do with you.Let's have a thread consisting of all the whingebags and haters and slimey insects that many seem to be akin to on here and let them tell the world of their own mistakes, and misfortunes so we can all analyse them for a change! NO ibet you would all crawl under the carpet. Now get a life and get behind your own club week in week out and hope that your promoter can come up with year in year out with a championship winning formula. And I mean all season not just at play off time. Edited September 22, 2015 by PiratesPiratesPirates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Playing devils advocate, it's only some comments from Matt Ford, who has lied about the reasons for riders absences in the past. As I said, it's a shame for North that he is getting stick.

SCB 15 Posted September 22, 2015 TBF, I had been told that https://au.news.yahoo.com/qld/a/29340501/truck-driver-rescued-from-gold-coast-river/ was the incident. It seems someone has heard news/rumour about a crane crash and found this, from 3-4 weeks ago! Seems it's not the case though. Matt confirming of details ends that one.

wealdstone 3,454 Posted September 22, 2015 (edited) For many Poole have pulled so many perceived strokes over the years that everything they say and do is viewed with suspicion. Edited September 22, 2015 by wealdstone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel Smith 5,697 Posted September 22, 2015 Cheering at an engine failure is fine, cheering when a rider goes down is not. A lot of Poole fans should feel very ashamed today, but I am quite sure they will make excuses for their actions, after all that is what Poole seem to do. I am not a fan of Coventry, and I don't have a club anymore, so no bitterness here. I am sure most fans are cheering about the advantage, but it does not make it right. Those fans are too stupid to understand that whilst they are cheering the rider may be picking up some form of injury or some expensive repair bill from their simple looking fall. The cheering of falling riders seems far louder at Poole than anywhere else. Who gives a monkey's about a riders repair bills? Certainly not us paying publics problem. Cheering you team on in sport is part of the game. There certainly isn't enough of it in uk speedway. In Poles go mental when a rider goes down and their atmosphere is described as the best in speedway. A few 10's in British Speedway do it and they're a disgrace I think some people need to get over themselves and chill a little. The facts are, we're all different and like all different things. Cheering a fall does not make anyone moronic, stupid etc just because you don't like it 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
