B.V 72 1,054 Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) 49 pages and a large proportion of them whining and bitching, there's some sad 'uns on here. The 2nd leg hasn't even been run yet. If Poole get beaten they get beaten, but if they win the whiners will go into meltdown You are right 49 pages off whining and bitching. But the truth is the rules of British speedway allow all the crap that fans have whinged about for 49 pages. So unless they tighten up the rules to stop all the things people have spent 49 pages whinging about then the sport is dead in the water. So i blame no one but the BAPA for coming up with a crap rule book that can be so easily manipulated and turning our once great sport into a joke.

BurntFaceMan 413 Posted September 27, 2016 A "high pain freshold "? Good ol' Starman, always ready to expand the English language ! You must be great to play scrabble with. As for level of pain freehold/threshold a lot must be governed by what Matt tells them to do , Literally spent the last 5 minutes chuckling to this at my desk! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,824 Posted September 27, 2016 Just to get back to reality....... What time did the rain stop in Wolverhampton this afternoon? Was the track really unfit for racing? Or, was this Wolverhampton retaliating to the Poole Tungate for Pedalbike switch, thinking.. fook it, we'll call it off and scupper that!! Now it's Wednesday, Pedalbike will be back, and Wolverhampton bring in Bomber, who's usually the Play Off hero!! Sounds plausible.......? Not in the slightest. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orion 7,615 Posted September 27, 2016 (edited) The big thing about bp misiing the rest of this season is not this tie what i think poole will anyhow but the final when they can use tungate at belle vue where he can beat anyone .

stevebrum 6,824 Posted September 27, 2016 Wolves fans calling Poole cheats and the world champion is only a second string rider lol only in speedway And the current world number 8 is assessed as a 7 point rider, only in British speedway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandking072 151 Posted September 27, 2016 Hougaard in for Fricke, Lambert in for Jonsson. Must mean Harris for Thorssell then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,824 Posted September 27, 2016 Harris is guesting for wolves as I said yesterday. On neither website. Assuming you have as source to quote. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SUPERACE 440 Posted September 27, 2016 On neither website. Assuming you have as source to quote. Well harris is definitely not guesting for lakeside as robert lambert is now replacing AJ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The trouble is we all know this sort of thing goes on when it suits so of course there will be questions asked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebrum 6,824 Posted September 27, 2016 Well harris is definitely not guesting for lakeside as robert lambert is now replacing AJ. Yea, seen the Lakeside press release. Seems likely I guess which for us is a great booking if it proves to be correct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Beevers 207 Posted September 27, 2016 And the current world number 8 is assessed as a 7 point rider, only in British speedway. But still not as daft as the World Champion coming in on a 7.03 average. A rider can vastly improve in two years so all averages should be assessed for riders who have missed one season.

However, going off your theory, Woffinden isn't as good this year as he was then, so I think around 6.50 would have been fair.
