Bald Bloke 3,287 Posted October 8, 2018 Before tonight I said.. Lynn's engine room was struggling away. I said Klindt and Josh would out score Lynn's 3 of TJ, Ty and Riss. Some Lynn fans questioned this.... Ty, TJ and Riss =11....Klindt and Josh 17. I also so said Poole's reserves are stronger than Lynn's…. Poole 16.... Lynn 8...…. Some Lynn fans thought I was negative... What do I know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghosty 500 Posted October 8, 2018 I am a complete neutral, have been involved in speedway for over 50 years (including riding a bit) only watched the last 5 heats as I had other commitments, but what I saw was Poole + the referee v. Kings Lynn!!!!! speedway digs itself future in it's grave.......... 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DizzAssStar 203 Posted October 8, 2018 Presumably Ackroyd is now picking up his hefty pay bonus from Fraud................. disgraceful in the extreme. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WembleyLion 413 Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) Always thought Ackroyd was a poor referee since he helped Holder to become World Champion! Edited October 9, 2018 by WembleyLion 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel Smith 5,665 Posted October 8, 2018 King's Lynn have no chance of pulling back 16 points. Job done by the Pirates. Disappointed Allitt didn't drill the referee a new hole. Very costly decisions and he just accepted them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RebelDan 203 Posted October 8, 2018 Poole had 8 riders tonight the ref was a complete homer and made a mockery of the grand final. Seriously how could you exclude MPT in heat 12 - what a farce. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's obviously in " the best interests of the sport" to let it happen though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
