I think you know the answer...Lynn have never won it, since 1965.... They touched bottom of the league at 1 stage, and finished 6 points clear. NKI injured Sunday, MPT injured Monday. Poole allowed a rider that don't fit Weds... How would you Poole fans feel. Edited October 9, 2018 by Bald Bloke 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its unfortunate. But it’s not Poole’s fault. What are we meant to do? Roll over and let you win? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How about Poole returning the favour. Bellego nearly fits for MPT, in fact there is less a difference from Morris to Kurtz in the 2nd leg. What do you think the right thing to do would be ?

Isn't that what you expected Lynn to do by not choosing Ellis which was perfectly within the rules. Double standards!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So 0.16 Not that he can/ will ride. Just giving an example Edited October 9, 2018 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good old Poole always willing to help out their fellow clubs, wonder what Sandhu and Frost made of them favours circa 2010/11? or Swindon when they refused to sign Miedzinski as an asset in 2012, instead taking advantage of the loan system to abuse his average for 3 months to facilitate the signing of KK. It's a good job they're here or British Speedway would be in a right mess. Edited October 9, 2018 by The Weasel Addition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, I just hope it's not too late for British speedway to pull itself out of the mire, and the only chance they've got is for everbody, and I mean everybody, pulling in the same direction! Too many high profile tracks have closed during the last 20 years, Wimbledon, Oxford, Reading, Hackney, Cradley and Coventry to name just a few. In any sport, at any level, one team has to come top, and one team has to come bottom unfortunately. That Poole have been so successful in recent times is no coincidence, it is because Matt Ford has worked harder at it than most of the others. If the product is right, the tracks are prepared right, we all know that live speedway can be the greatest spectacle of all sports to watch, let's hope and pray that there is a way back from this current mess Edited October 10, 2018 by STEVENGREEN739 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
