So, the “visionary” Matt Ford walks away and we see problems; surely that means we are all visionaries or he has been pulling the wool over our eyes? Hmmmm sounds about right.

Some of the comments are partly true though. There seem plenty who only use the forum for the sake of having a go or being rude with snide comments. To be honest since I joined nearly 2 years ago I am becoming disillusioned with the Forum in general. I made the mistake of still thinking there was sensible debate to be had and an exchange of views on the team where we can take the sport forward to help it survive. It seems the majority don't see to give a toss and certainly don't want to engage in sensible discussion. Yet they are only to willing to indulge and keep indulging in petty snipes and insults as if they have nothing better to fill their day. Many of whom obviously retired with nothing to contribute. Apologies in advance to the minority who do engage in sensible discussion, especially Poole which is my main Speedway interest. An example last week where I did an in depth post on Poole 2018 about MY views on a way forward. From memory - Not one like or anything as a dislike. In fact I can't remember one view as to a constructive alternative to a way forward other than I think one poster rolled out the old chestnut of not enough riders. Believe me with 5 main riders and say 2 N/L riders per team there probably would be or even if we went with 6 man teams incl using N/L riders. Anyway think I will keep my views on the future of the sport to myself in future and let's just see which direction (if any) the sport takes.

GWC 495 Posted July 11, 2018 Klindt able to take 7 rides makes the sport a nonsense in my opinion. All well and good if a rider gets injured as that’s a reserve job but just giving the advantage to a rider who happens to be 6th in the teams averages makes no sense. It also brings into dispute riders who go missing in meeting and their unavailability. Maybe Poole have some sympathy as the Chris Holder situation isn’t of their making but a return to the days of 4 rides 1-5 and 3 for 6 & 7 might be a starter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

poole keith 911 Posted July 11, 2018 in recent yrs building a team without at least one strong reserve,all season, has been a real risk,and the poole team with no superstar no 1 a rider like klindt is essential,and of course attainable because of the pts saved at no1. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted July 11, 2018 The system here is fine. These are the rules and always have been for a long time. Poole don’t have a big hitter like Doyle at Somerset or Morris at Swindon. We have a team of 6-7 pointers and one at reserve. Klindt likes Liecester but I wouldn’t expect that at any other track. It’s completely fair. If we had gone to Liecester two weeks ago Woryna would have been at reserve and Liecester would have won. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
