Pay the rider's a guarantee set of money to throw the meeting. This late in the season it's all about gamesmanship, tactics, and Poole certainly don't want Somerset out of all the other Play-Off teams. 6 hours ago, Daniel Smith said: If I was Middleditch or Ford I be telling my rider's to be well beaten, 60-30ish, in the hope that would give the King's Lynn management the confidence to pick them in the Play-Offs.

Can you imagine the outrage on here, if a Poole fan even suggested it, let alone if it actually happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lisa-colette 6,032 Posted August 29, 2018 We are pretty much in the play offs, it's not a must win meeting so not vital for Nic to be at Lynn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely if your full team is available thats what it should be .We are always moaning about rider shortage and in this case not necessary 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "big loss" isn't as important as the money, i'm guessing then ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 29, 2018 Thing is the result really is not that important for us. We are in the playoffs and won’t finish top so its a practice session to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Ford thought a play off place was at risk, then Klindt was going to ride for your lot at Lynn tonight. So it was up to Ford if Klindt rides at Lynn tonight, and he chose no. Not good for the fans really, or the team, but maybe Ford was "compensated" in some way Anyway it is what it is. Main thing is that all riders are safe, and with no injuries 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
