waiheke1 4,295 Posted August 11, 2016 Well this signed turns Wolves into playoff semi finialists to clear favourites over Belle Vue who must be gutted after all the hard work they have done in 2016. To Stick with the same one to seven all season, only to see another club bring a ringer in at the death to take the title away must irk. Pooles chances of reaching the final now have reduced dramically. It's in the rules but is hardly within the spirit of the sport. Personally bringing in ringers for the playoffs like this should be against the rules. Just my opinion. Asset rides for own team. Sounds a bit like a squad system to me. Anyone know of any club whose promoter is advocating a squad system? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 11, 2016 Stop belly-aching. We weren't complaining when we bought Greg in a few years back. It's about time some more teams started playing like we do. We're being beaten at our game in style. Good on em. Hancock came in to replace Chris Holder who was smashed up at Coventry. He didn't come in to replace a lesser rider. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Odds On 373 Posted August 11, 2016 heard from a reliable source that Poole are up in arms about this big time, doesn't look good when another team plays them at their own game and beats them. Now where's that rule book! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEITH M 850 Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) It might be in the rules but its a complete farce. Feel sorry for the rider who has to move aside to make way for TW, the rider(s) who has supported the team all year. And this is why speedway is a Mickey Mouse sport to others.. Fans complaining when teams strengthen up.. Do football fans complain when teams sign players in January to help them win the league and cup etc?... Do you hear anyone complaining when a player who has played in every game is replaced by a new signing who is a better player... It's a team game no one has a right to stay in it if they can be replaced Edited August 11, 2016 by KEITH M 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colin wood 249 Posted August 11, 2016 Riders coming in for play offs when they can't be bothered riding here in the first place is wrong.It might be in the rules but morally its not right.Hancock riding for Poole was different in that he was replacing a badly injured rider but IMO shouldn't have been allowed either.We all want to see Tai back riding in the UK but not just for the as Fred Flange would say end of season knock out cup. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave Jones 2,127 Posted August 11, 2016 heard from a reliable source that Poole are up in arms about this big time, doesn't look good when another team plays them at their own game and beats them. Now where's that rule book! Heard that MF has been chasing up the maintainence guy at Wimborne Rd to get the hot water shut off tap lubricated and in good working order, just in case it's needed later on in the season. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yoozy 0 Posted August 11, 2016 You should only be able to pick a guest from a team in the EL. And on the same average. I'm no expert on the rules but this stinks to high heaven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,057 Posted August 11, 2016 heard from a reliable source that Poole are up in arms about this big time, doesn't look good when another team plays them at their own game and beats them. Now where's that rule book! What have Wolves done that is against the rules, they have made a team change that is within the points limit, and brought in one of their own assets. This has to be good news for Wolves Speedway, and the tracks where Wolves will visit as Tai`s appearance is bound to put an extra few on the gate. Tai Woffinden - one selfish git How so, lots of very jealous people out there this morning, poor Tai has had grief all season for not riding here, now he is and he is still getting pelters. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now where's that rule book! And what reliable source is that then? A mate down the pub? I would have thought the Belle Vue promotion are far from happy with this as well.

A club asset coming on in a lower average than the rider he is replacing??? Nothing wrong with that!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
