To be fair as supposedly one of the more 'progressive' and 'professional' clubs their website and social media leave a lot to be desired.

I am led to believe they lost their social media guy to a football club this season.

Not so curiously, Plymouth have been instructed by BSPL to host Poole on Tuesday 6th September in the first leg Q/F, with the remaining fixture v Glasgow to be rearranged later.

(See Plymouth website)

Play-offs take precedence.

Plymouth shouldn't have needed the BSPL to point out why that is the right thing to do....

So it's acceptable for Scunthorpe to delay the KOC by THREE months, but not acceptable for Plymouth to delay the play-offs by SEVEN days?

Clubs wanting to delay the inevitable is definitely to be frowned upon, BUT Play-Offs take precedence.!!

Poole's visit to Plymouth, originally arranged for Tuesday 6th September has been postponed, due to weather conditions.

With rain and a bad forecast prevailing the meeting has been called-off and rescheduled to next Tuesday, 13th September.

Poole are still due to host the Gladiators on Wednesday (7th) night, in what will now be the first leg of the Quarter Final play-off.

Don't think that matters believe he's also failed the B test. The hearing is just to decide on the punishment

BB ban suggests its lower end of the scale. Probably prescription drugs. Serious and foolish but not something involving illegal banned drug use otherwise it would have been 2 years minimum. 

There others who've done far worse and come back and others accused of far worse who rode on. 

Up to Plymouth and Ipswich now whether they want to hire him for 2023.

Not clear if the RR facility remains.

I think with the huge rider shortage we have in this country 100% someone will sign him next season. 

No doubting when he's on form he is very entertaining but he does seem to come with a lot of baggage and trouble seems to follow wherever he goes.

There's certainly 1 club who won't be offering him a ride as we don't have a team to support anymore at Newcastle
