That is crazy talk! You're saying that a captain of a club is not bothered about making the SF's of the playoffs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The playoffs will only matter in that they bring in more meetings so extra income, and surely Poole are guaranteed to get there anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe King is confident Poole can beat anyone over 2 legs, so it's bothered if the Pirates finish 2nd, 3rd or 4th? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is how he's available, if King was riding to last year's form his average would be too high. Must be one of the best options below Kennetts ave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poole have been banging the drum about really wanting to finish top 2 for ages. And really he could have helped Plymouth win last night and could have made it very difficult for Poole to finish top 2. Seems crazy to me and have a bit of a bee in my bonnet about it. As you probably have noticed! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,035 Posted July 7, 2022 Just now, Roger Jacobs said: Maybe you can find out if King checked with the Poole management before accepting the booking? Poole management have said previously they won't stop their riders earning extra money from taking guest bookings. It's not about guesting in a general sense, it's about a team who we can't afford to get league points and go above us! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clearly then, as suggested, King wasn't bothered - he just saw it as an earning opportunity. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Plymouth are happy to be close to a play off position . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
