If it was Poole's idea then fair enough but KL should have let us use Ellis. It’s kind of worrying that you are trying to deflect from Poole’s wrong doing as a means of justifying what Poole did! What evidence do you have that the BSPA chairman backed Poole into a corner - the very same Poole promoter who doesn’t take any cr@p from anyone - until now - and you expect everyone to believe it? it doesn’t matter who’s idea it was the fact is that it was Poole who broke the rules and not KL! And the sad thing is I believe Poole would have won it with a legal team in the second leg but they chose to cheat rather than play by the rules!

grumpy41 2 Posted October 26, 2018 For heavens sake STOP. You are raking up the same stuff time and time again,stop repeating the same tripe over and over.Its done,Poole have won whether you like it or not and nobody is going to change the result.Surely if there was something to discuss other promoters or managers would have voiced an opinion in the speedway press.The only people who are making a fuss are you,the supporters and quite frankly from where I am standing you are behaving like children arguing in the playground.Get over it and move on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've pointed out that it was the SCB & BSPA that covered for their original incompetence in failing to frame the rules correctly by breaking them and encouraging both teams and the referee to do so. Dale Allitt has stated publicly that it was KL's proposal to Poole which was then ratified by the SCB and BSPA MC to avoid the sport being further vilified by allowing Ellis to guest for both clubs in the final. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've said many times that it should not of been allowed. Morris did not fit, i don't blame Poole or Lynn.. It don't matter who pushed what, The fault lies higher up the ladder. Somerset were 4 riders down in the cup leg 2 and the couldn't use Wright at Lynn because he was 0.05 over.. Either everyone gets the +5% away or no one does.It's not hard to understand.How many fans have moaned about Somerset winning the cup, I doubt if any have. Why....No special treatment was allowed !

Instead, they chose to cheat and use an ineligible guest. You don’t see me calling you names either or being personal! What I can’t stand is cheating - and it would be same if Swindon had cheated too! Rubbish, had we not used an elilgble guest it would have not been sanctioned, so get off your high horse and just accept it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had Poole used an eligible guest it wouldn't need to be sanctioned.... because....well... it would have been eligible anyway. They had to get permission to use an otherwise ineligible guest. And god knows why that permission was granted. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
