Who caused this scenario? Buster Chapman. He knew Ellis was riding for Poole in the second leg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted October 7, 2018 We all knew that there was Self interest in the "sport" but this has confirmed it... "promoters" only caring for themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Lynn asked Poole and Ford said "no" and wanted to use Ellis and Morris. Who knows? Or Lynn could use Thorssell or Bellego?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with Mediman, perhaps we should all boycott both meetings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think if Lynn had asked Ford if they can use Morris for both and Poole use Ellis he would of said "Yes good idea, and it would be in the best interests of the sport" ? I'm not so sure.. If Ford would agree, then I can't see why Buster would want Adam. Just a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,783 Posted October 7, 2018 Surely those Poole fans playing the morality card aren’t typing with a straight face? Yes it’s bloody ridiculous but it is so because the rule book doesn’t prevent it. Lynn can’t be blamed for going down this road as they are in a desperate situation, and yes Poole would have done exactly the same whatever the hot air is coming out of Dorset. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mediman 65 Posted October 7, 2018 This isn’t about Poole whom yes I support it’s about the sport. It needs new investment and new governance or it will fade away. The Tv deal shows how much pulling power it has but the sport is still thrill a minute stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
