Bagpuss 10,819 Posted April 12, 2018 To be fair guys I think we have it all wrong.......on reflection if it was the other way round with Poole losing by ten at Belle Vue and say Kurtz and Josh G were missing with their guest replacements only scoring five between them, I'm sure Mr Shovlar would be consistent and say that 'Belle Vue would have won anyway' and ' if my auntie had balls' etc. I'm sure he wouldn't make a peep bemoaning absences or poor guests. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Question. Was it within the rules for Belle Vue to use Batchelor? Cook was absent and no facility should have been granted as it was not illness or speedway related injury. Unless the rules have changed it should have been a CL 6 pointer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
semion 2,192 Posted April 12, 2018 I think there is too much being read into last nights match up. Poole will improve once their new riders get use to the track, as long as Ford can keep it consistent. So no need for Poole fans to feel down about last night narrow victory over a very weakened Aces line-up. Holder is Back banging in those 5/6s things will turn around. Pirates fans keep the faith. It’s a long season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You hide behind "prove it" and try to comfort yourselves that "the haters are just jealous". No, there are serious concerns about Poole's role in the current collapse of British Speedway. The sport has lost credibility here and the never-ending 'pure coincidence' of rules being changed to suit Poole's needs is a root cause. You boast about being champions. Try behaving like champions and you might finally get some respect. Blind faith isn't supporting your club or sport. Sorry Rob, but please prove, that the rules are changed to suit Poole. The rules are there for every club, and every club has the same opportunities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aces51 2,778 Posted April 12, 2018 A 6 point CL rider would probably have scored more than Batchelor managed. Could hardly have done much worse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted April 12, 2018 Batchelor was frankly a disgrace. He just didn’t want to know. How many more clubs can he let down when booked as a guest? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Showa I guess a huge lack of knowledge of the sport. Cook and Worrall would have needed 6 each for Belle Vue to win something they would have done very easily Gavan why don't you give it a rest, cook and Worrell weren't there, Poole won , move on 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ray c 2,299 Posted April 12, 2018 Because of the press conference after the meeting there was no winners lap thought that was a shame . Still I suppose you can't have both ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
