lewy 2,354 Posted August 31, 2022 Ridiculous timing for a meanless fixture,1 week before the most important matches of the season. Makes winning the playoffs a completely hollow Victory. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a meaningless meeting that should have been held at the end of season, I'm sure if a Poole heat leader got injured you would feel the same, try to look at the bigger picture not in your little Poole pirate bubble of arrogance. I'm sure if you beat a Plymouth team of 4 guests in the playoffs you will all be very happy but surely it would mean more if you beat a full strength Plymouth team. The same works in reverse it would be more satisfying to win with our original team than one made up of available guests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He took a lap as a former Poole rider. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tonight may seem pointless as a Plymouth fan looking in but Hans was riding in someone's memory, so I'd say definitely not pointless for him. A big shame there was a crash and hopefully he won't be out for the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lewy 2,354 Posted August 31, 2022 Wake up it's pointless,show your appreciation/respect whatever at the end of season, it's obviously meaningless look at Lawsons score,if it was of any importance it would have been at least double figures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry Lewy I can not agree with you that it was a meatless meeting. Middlo has been a great servant of Poole and speedway. He was one of the people responsible for bringing Hans over and giving him his start in the UK which has lasted over 20 years. I do not believe the bad fortune of the Gladiators this season. Such a great team built but ruined by injury. Eddie was injured in that first meeting but with the state of speedway at the present time could not be replaced by another rider of similar average. I agree that it is doubtful Eddie would of maintained the average he started with but how can you team build with the present riders after the season started. If Lawson had stayed in place of Eddie Plymouth would be very strong. However, no contract was signed so he was entitled to change his mind. Plymouth must build on their success this season with great fans and management but remember Poole and Middlo have given speedway great riders and in my view added a great deal to speedway. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough mate, maybe I should say it was a ridiculous time to stage said meeting with the playoffs next week, it's like the fA staging a testimonial 1 week before the cup final with the majority of players to play in both fixtures. Just want til the seasons end,that's my point. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
